BOOK OF REVELATION IN PICTURES - LESSON THREE - BEASTS ON THE SCENE

Long ago... And far away.. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream...

Of a mighty statue standing on the Sands of Time..

Daniel (the prophet) interpreted the dream. Its head was gold - 

"the head is you oh King, you are Babylon".

The chest and arms were silver, 

a mighty empire would follow Babylon,

the mighty Media-Persia.

The torso and thighs were bronze,

Mighty conquering Greece.

The two legs were iron,

That mighty iron of Rome.

And lastly, the feet,

right down to

the ten toes.

Part iron

and part

clay.

After some time. Daniel had a dream,

of four great and terrible beasts.

The first three creatures,

again, Babylon

Media-Persia

Greece.

Then a fourth creature "more terrible than the others".

And stronger.

It had great iron teeth..

(The 'iron' columns of Rome!)

And its claws were bronze.

"What the iron didn't break,

the bronze trampled and scattered."

And it had seven heads

and ten horns.

This is the beast which opens Revelation chapter 13.

It has iron/bronze roots, a metamorphosis,

with heads seven and horns ten.

The 'big' beast of the chapter.

(Verses 1 to 10.)

Then we are shown a 'little' beast, who brought

a new fire to earth in chapter 6 (lesson two).

Thought of as a man, but an office is more true.

~ One that will give breath/strength (authority) ~

to the 'big' beast, who at one time expired, its head not signing on after all.

But after the fire, brought to earth, in the sight of men (13:13)

man, with lofty goal, rebuilt the 'big' beast.

And gave it an image.

The two beasts (big and little) they will morph into one.

And release 666, before all is done.

A Riddle ~ "From the time the daily/perpetual sacrifice" (or current place of continual prayers?) "is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set  up ~ there will be 1,290 days.  Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches, the end of the 1,335 days." (45 days later)  ~~ Daniel 12:11, 12

Super Short Summary of the Book of Revelation - Apocalypse and Bible Prophecy

Keys ~ The Seals are elements of the last age/hour and are described as a blend of what they are when they begin and what they are at full maturity. Chapters 12 and 13 are an insert.. 13 describing how 12:17 will be carried out.. 12 is the history of the faith (Son of man, Herod the Great-indirectly, the 70 a.d. razing, the inquisitions, the Mayflower and verse 17 being the gathering to Armageddon (16:14-16; w/cross ref=Mt 23:39; And a cross-ref for 12:16 is Lk 23:28,31).

The false prophet/teacher/teaching has caused the falling away, and great delusion, of society and culture, turning Christendom on its ear.. $ity Babylon the harlot/"pornos"- (the greek) crashes in an hour and falls in a day, the merchants will weep for no one buys... Capitalism embraced pornos, and enchanted, thus ruining, the 7 continents. The kings/politicians are in bed with her and she reigns over them.

She rides the first beast of Rev 13, which 7th head, manifestation, expired but was rebuilt after the fire (13:13) upon earth by the 2nd (little) beast of chapter 13, which pinpoints, an office, and occurred in 1945 - so big and in our face (like the false prophet) no one sees it. The 'little' beast will (finally) give breath/authority to the 'big' (world) beast/governing and in the last hour ten kings of it/divisions/toes/horns, will raze the harlot, of babble-on and on. Socialism will finally devour Capitalism. The 'big' beast - the 'dove' will compatriot with the vulture - Rev 20:4d. ("Five months" helicopter enforced Martial Law under the 'destroyer'/anti-Christ.) Postscript: Weird Things In The Book of Revelation

Daniel 12:11,12 - in the midst of the 7 year 'peace' treaty, when the (place of?) daily prayers in Jerusalem is removed (Mt. 24:1,2 "not one stone of all these shall remain atop another") then, 3.5 (Hebrew) years plus 30 days later, the abomination (apparatus?) that desolates (666?) will be set-up. Happy the one who waits and comes to 45 days later. The last "ten days" escalating from cannot buy or sell, to will be killed? Day 45 = 7th trump. The bowls are just about(?) concurrent.. 2 Thess 1:7,8.

Currently we are in a pause (Rev 7:1,3) after seal 6 which was 13:13.

Peace.. and God bless..

THE BEAST

I'm sure you have heard of "the beast" in Bible prophecy, and that it has to do with that mysterious number, 666. This is in the Book of Revelation, chapter 13.  But did you know there are two beasts? The most prominent beast - the one I would call "THE beast" - is verses one through ten. A 'big' beast. And verses eleven through eighteen are a 'little' beast.

Beast one is a world beast, or that is a world empire or world body, which rises to much power. Beast two is a prominent office of man. Yes, he's the famous 666 one, but it's - an office - which is pinpointed, here, in Revelation chapter 13. And dig this, the verse which pinpoints the office? Verse 13:13.

So picture this, verse 13 says, "he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." For the life of me I can't imagine why this doesn't ring more bells! Like man's splitting of the atom isn't in Bible prophecy! (Maybe hints at it in Ezekiel.)

Revelation 13:13 - "he.. makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men" - 1945, fire, upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Earth's final antiChrist (it's a person, for we have his number, and yes there's been others) will be associated with that same office which brought down that fire. Likely associated with the office, previously to being in the main seat of the world beast (of verses one through ten).

The world beast here, and also in the book of (in the writings of) the prophet Daniel, is described as having ten horns. (Leading us to believe there are clues and information about it in both Revelation and Daniel.) Daniel is second only to the Book of Revelation when it comes to latter day Bible prophecy. Revelation (about 90 a.d.) says he "has seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns" (from Revelation 13:1-3). And Daniel (about 550 b.c.) says he has "ten horns in his head.. with iron teeth and bronze claws" (from Daniel 7:19 and 20).

In the next lesson, we will discuss how we know the "iron" is Roman (based) and the "bronze" is Greek (based). The last days world beast will be something which sprang up upon Roman and Greek (Roman/Graeco) foundations, what is called "the classical world". And what was built upon it? Western civilization. Think Roman politics, courts, senates, architecture; along with Greek drama, arts, philosophy, universities, etc. A world body rises to power, having iron teeth (columns!) and with bronze claws "breaks apart" or "scatters". [This is not to say nations of the Middle and Far East are not also players in the Book of Revelation vision.]

Revelation #2 - Fat Man and Little Boy

 ~ ~ ~ This is Prophecy Sentence Part 2 ~ ~ ~
(R.6:12-17 + 13:13@1945)
This riddle and key (long form) involves the Seals of God, in Revelation chapter 6. In order to read it you have to understand each seal is described here in chapter 6, as a blend. The description is a blend of two things, what the seal is when it is first opened (or broken and the element of the seal begins) and also as the seal is in its fully progressed (or galloped) form at the 'end'. (This works to partially hide the vision for a time.)
~ ~  Rev 6:12-17 = Rev 13:13 = 1945 ~ ~
Revelation 6:12-17 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) - "And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken -- and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places they were moved; and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,` because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?"
Revelation 13:11-13 - New King James Version (NKJV) - The Beast from the Earth - "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." [Pinpointing an office. And party?]
 [Revelation 7:1 - "After these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.." -- The new (fiery) wind is paused for a time..]
---- These studies are not necessarily in the order they occur in the Book of Revelation.----
Revelation #1 - The Bible Tells Us All Things - (USA)
Revelation #2 - Fat Man and Little Boy
Revelation #3 - Not Even One Stone
Rev #4 - Drought Ends World Peace
Rev #5 - A Happy Dragon
Rev #6 - Last Ten Of 45 Days
Rev #7 - Crash In One Hour
The whole sentence:  R.12:14(USA) + (R.6:12-17 + 13:13@1945) + (Mt.24:1,2 + Dan.12:11a) + [Lk.23:31 + R.12:16 + Mk.13:8] + [Dan.12:11,12 + R.13:17 + Mt.24:15] = [R.20:4b\R.2:10 + Dan.12:12] + (R.18:2-19,24 + 17:2)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In other words, what I have gathered will likely unfold concerning Bible 'end' times prophecy is there will be a seven year peace treaty of the nations of the world. (Or just in the Middle East as some think?) In "the midst" or middle of this 'peace' the Wailing Wall, a place of daily worship and petition in Jerusalem, will be taken away and removed. And roughly three and one half years later, the "abomination which desolates" (666) will be "set-up" affecting "buying and selling" for forty five days, with the last ten days becoming critical (Revelation 20:4b and 2:10). [Daniel 9:27; 12:11,12 and Matthew 24:1,2]
 ~ I'm on the look out for a verse or verses which mention a 'marriage' of two world political powers.. The (world) beast of Rev 13:1-10 married to or infiltrated by the political force which has in it Rev 20:4b.

Is Sunday Worship the Mark of the Beast?!

The Hebrew Spring Holy Days were fulfilled by Jesus' first advent.. crucified on Passover, buried as the 2nd Holy Day was beginning (as the sun went down, as ancient Hebrew days begin at sundown).. On the Day of Unleavened Bread (sometimes also called Passover) he was put into a cave as his tomb and burial. He was in the grave for 3 nights and 3 days, as He said He would be, rising as the regular weekly Sabbath was ending. The 3rd Holy Day of Spring Holy Week was the regular Sabbath on Saturday. He rose as it was ending, making 3 full nights and days and as the 4th Spring Holy Day was beginning, or about to begin. This day being the Feast (or Holy Day) of the Waving of a Single Sheaf of Wheat in the Air. Jesus was the first single one to be resurrected. This day always fell upon the day following the regular weekly Sabbath. Then also of course would come Pentecost, 49 days or 7 weeks later, making the Holy Day of Pentecost also always following upon the day after the regular weekly Sabbath day. "These are the set feasts or appointed seasons of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be HOLY.." Leviticus 23:37 (Amplified Version) The Spring ones are verses 1-16.
- Sunday is the Roman name, and yes it was named after the so called sun 'god'(demon) but Saturday was named after Saturnalia, another Roman 'god'/demon. Satan&Co own nothing, can only steal and confiscate.
