1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
For more understanding on the heads and horns of this beast, see Daniel 7 & 8 worksheet or video. The heads of this beast correlate to the 7 horns that remained on Daniel 7's dreadful beast, one of the heads of this beast is the Roman serpent/dragon head that is revived to be the Holy Roman Empire. This revived head is the 6th head that was on the red beast described in chapter 17, the consecutive heads of the ancient serpent, which is the red beast that the Woman rides.
This beast is formed in the transition between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire in 800. At the end of Chapter 12, John is standing on the sands of the sea, watching this beast rise in power. During the Protestant Reformation, colonization started in earnest. It is the 2 great wings of the eagle that the woman is carried to safety on. This first wave of colonization started in the mid-1500s called The Age of Discovery. Two hundred years later there would be a second wave, called Neoimperialism, where the nations of Europe not only inhabited the new lands, but these lands were part of the countries' empire. The largest empire, the British Empire, spanned the whole earth, and the sun never set on this empire. This fullfills the prophecy in chapter 2:26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27and he will rule them with a rod of iron. England conquered the Catholic church in chapter 12, and kept the works until the end through the King James Bible, which is still, to this day, relied on by many followers of Jesus. The description of leopard, bear and lion connect this beast to the fallen Western Roman Empire dreadful beast in Daniel 7. It also explains how the head of the Roman beast survived, though it's body was burned with fire (Daniel 7:11) and how the consecutive heads of the red beast in 17 are identified.
The dragon in chapter 12 is also called an ancient serpent. Dragon and serpent are actually identical in some traditions. If you look at a Chinese dragon, it resembles a snake with feet. Some depictions of a dragon have wings as well. This connection of serpent and dragon can allow us to take this beast to ancient Rome, before the Jesuits were formed. The dreadful beast-ancient serpent gave it's power to the European beast. As covered in the Daniel 7 & 8 teaching, the 10 horns are the power of the dreadful beast are ruling family bloodlines. These family dynasties become royalty, and in the 1500s become blasphemous by instituting the divine right of kings. The throne of the dreadful beast was the seat of power, where the harlot sat, the Papal States. This is covered in chapter 17 when we define the harlot and the Woman. The authority of Rome was the emperor, and Charlemagne was not only nobility, and royalty, but also the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Emperors rule empires, and imperialism is the ruling force that keeps that empire intact. This Roman type of conquering proliferated through all 7 heads of the European beast. England, Spain, France and Portugal had massive land holdings, and the Dutch controlled trade routes in 5 continents. The Holy Roman Empire in Germany through Italy conquered through the Jesuit teaching that spanned the planet, through the Hapsburg dynasty ruling other royal houses, and through Catholic houses of worship that were in every empire. The whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. It was impossible to fight against this beast at the height of Imperialism. It would take Jesus coming like a thief and two great sickles to end Imperialism in the early 1900s.
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.
The mouth of the beast is also covered in the Daniel 7 & 8 teaching. This is the easiest to identify because of the nearly identical phrases that were used. The dreadful beast had a different horn that rose in power later than the 10 horns of power of family dynasties. This horn had eyes and a mouth, and here, the European beast also has a mouth. The horn's mouth in Daniel 7 is speaking while the body of the beast dies, and it speaks for a time, times and half a time in Daniel 7, and 42 months here in verse 5. This prophecy is 1260 years, and it starts before the fall of Rome, in 388 when Nicene Christianity became the religion after the fall of Maximus. This Nicene Christianity of the Roman church, later becoming the Catholic Church, exercised authority until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 after the defeat of the Catholics in the 30 years war. The different horn in Daniel made war against the saints and prevailed, as well as the jarlot church did during the 42 months. The mouth of the different horn spoke blasphemy as well as this mouth, where the popes called themselves Supreme Pontiff, declaring themselves the bridge between man and God. This later expanded to be the Vicar of Christ, where they claim to be the earthly representation of Christ. Blasphemy in the Bible is claiming to be God, as when Jesus was told he was blaspheming when he called himself the Son of God. This is much different than the current definition of blasphemy, which is defined as disrespectful behavior.
(7) And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
All who dwell on the earth will worship this beast. Through Imperialism, the countries of England dictated how the colonies were to operate. The 10 horns is a prophetic number since the family dynasties after the fall of Rome expanded greatly in the last 1500 years. 10 is a number of completion, and speaks of all the family bloodlines are the El-ites of today that rule in government, education, social justice, agriculture and food, entertainment and even in church leadership. The veil of their secrecy is being lifted and we see their influence, and mankind as a whole follows their influences, which is the essence of worship. They are in the process now of handing their power back to the dragon beast as stated in Revelation 17, and are part of the great city that rules the earth in Revelation 18.
10 If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
All 7 heads of this beast took nations into captivity, and slain others with the sword. According to the justice of God, they must fall in the same manner. Two great sickles fell during WWI and WWII, and captivity is pronounced for the judgement of Babylon, the great city in chapter 18.
11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
In chapter 10 and 11, the earth was France, the left foot of the mighty angel in chapter 10. In chapter 12 the United States was called a wilderness. Since France is one of the heads of the European beast, the earth must mean something different this time. The European beast rises out of the sea and this beast rises out of the earth. If we use that comparison, it's easy to define this beast as the newly formed United States in 1776, during the time when the European beast was rising. A sea is a multitude of people, nations and tongues, as defined in chapter 17. Earth would be a contrast of a few people, nations and tongues. The 13 colonies that formed the United States were English-speaking states, even though there were many other tongues that had settled there. This beast was a lamb, a young sheep or ram, further depicting a newly formed nation. There are no crowns on this beast, meaning it is not a monarchy. The two horns show there are two rulers, and the United States always elects a President and Vice-President.
In verse 12, it describes 2 beasts that were first, which can also be called foremost or previously. This must be the case here because the lamb beast exercises all authority in the presence of the first/prior beast, and the United States rules simultaneously with the European beast, exercising it's power in the presence of all European authority. The second time that the first beast is listed, it refers to the Roman beast, who's head was healed. The European beast did not have a wounded head that was healed. So, the United States must resemble Rome in how it operates, and according to verse 11 it also speaks like Rome. To speak is the laws and decrees, and this is correct because the United States Constitution resembles the Roman laws of 12 Tables. The government structure of a Senate, Capitol, and Republic are Roman terms as well as the idea of Separation of Powers. The United States causes all to worship Rome because of the military prowess of the Roman dragon is evident in the United States Superpower.
There are four different events in the Bible where there is “fire from heaven” and one is when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in His righteous judgement. This kind of event matches here because the United States dropped the a-bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in their definition of “righteous judgement.” This sign was performed at the end of WW2, which is when the European beast was wounded by the sword, yet lived. We know this does not refer to Rome because the body of the Roman beast was destroyed and given over to be burned with fire (Daniel 7:11) and only the head was restored. The United States helped make an “image” or a likeness of the European beast through the efforts of President FD Roosevelt by creating the United Nations. The UN rules the world in a similar manner that Europe ruled the world during Imperialism. This image was given breath, the ability to make laws and decrees, and with resolution 678, it was even allowed to wage its own war to slay those that do not worship the image. Under the leadership of the dragon, the UN will make laws and decrees that will stifle humanity. Agenda 2030 is a blueprint for 15 minute cities, carbon credits, AI surveillance, etc., all hidden behind the guise of reversing climate change, ending poverty and world hunger. Rome is the UN headquarters for the Food and Agriculture Organization. Keep in mind the Jesuit connection will also lead to religious controls on humanity. What will come of the Noahide discussions that are set for November 2026? Also be mindful of the push for transhumanism, a mingling of human and fallen angels, as was in the days of Noah.
16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
Here is the famous mark of the beast. There aren't very many who are familiar with the 400 verses in the book of Revelation, many being quotes from Jesus himself, yet everyone seems to know about the mark of the beast. There are five qualifiers to this mark, it affects all kinds of people small/great, rich/poor, or free/slave, this mark deals with buying and selling, and this mark has name of the beast, it also has a number of the beast which is numbered of/with a man, as well as the number of 666. Mark is Strong's 5480 /xáragma ("brand-mark") was originally any impress on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). The beast this mark belongs to is the United States, and the dollar is how this beasts buys and sells, which is the first and easiest qualifier to complete.
Second, this mark affects all. After WWII, the Bretton Woods agreement was signed in 1944. It created a stable GLOBAL economy by pegging world currencies to the U.S. dollar, which at the time, was backed by gold. It also established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. 59% of the global economy is tied to the US Dollar and in order to buy or sell, whether you are rich or poor, you use the dollar to make financial transactions. You are marked on your right hand if you carry the actuall bills of money, and you are marked on your forehead if you imagine you have the money. This is an ingenious way to describe checking accounts or internet banking. You dont carry the actual money with you, but you imagine you have a certain amount of funds available for you to spend.
The dollar meets the third qualifier, by having the name of the United States on the bills. The final two qualifiers deal with the number of the beast. Let's look at the Strongs, word by word. (gar) because (estin) it remains, or it is (arithmos) numbered (anthropou) of a man (kai) and/also (auto) it (arithmos) numbered (hexakosioi, hexakonta, hexekonta, hex) 666. It is numbered of a man and/also it (not he) numbered 666. Whether or not the number 666 applies to the beast or a supposed antichrist hinges on interpreting the word AUTO as "he" or "it." Since there is no antichrist, the number applies to the beast, which is the same word that describes Jesus being numbered with the 12 in Luke 22:3. Jesus was one of the twelve. The United States is numbered with the 3 Americas, being one of the three Americas, also being named after a man Amerigo Vespucci. It is also numbered after Babylon, which is 666. The verse is describing the number of a beast that is on the mark. One side of the bill deals with the reference to the United States of America, with pictures of presidents and capitol buildings, and the other side deals with Babylon. This means that the US is also numbered with Babylon, which puts it with Babylon the great city in chapter 18.
Babylon is 666 because it had a base 60 numerical system, and Nephilim had 6 digits on their hands from 2 Samuel 21:20. The Woman in chapter 17 is seated on the hills of Babylon, which is also fallen angel worship, starting with Nimrod. Six of the hills in chapter 17 are represented on the currency of the earth beast. We see the pyramid, which is not only a symbol of Egypt, but it is a pre-flood symbol of fallen angel worship, one type of a "high place" that is the core of Babylon worship. The $5 bill has a temple, reminiscent of the Asherah Grove, high places of Baal worship. There is the all-seeing Eye of Providence, descriptive of Ra or Horus, fallen-angel deities of Egypt as well as the Assyrian god Ashur, who was also an archer, the arrows carried by the eagle. Speaking of the eagle, or Roman Aquila, as well as the Latin phrase E Pluribus Unim, a phrase for the unification of mankind that was tested under Nimrod. The repetitive use of 13 is a nod to the ancient bloodlines that not only rule in America but Babylon, the great city. The Greeks are represented by the laurel wreath on the bills as well. Even the Holy Roman Empire has its influence, the word "dollar" comes from the German word taler. If you look at chapter 20 you see the dragon beast using the mark, and this might be the reason that the dollar is American and Babylonian. After WWII the German Mark collapsed and transitioned into the Rentenmark. Take an hour to read up on this, because this might be the roadmap that the dragon uses if the dollar transitions into a global currency, the mark of the dragon beast. Even if this takeover does not happen, be prepared today for take-over of your funds to get you to submit to Rome or the UN. The worldwide banking system is a Babylonian system and laws have already been put place to force you to comply. There just needs to be an event to trigger your compliance.
In Revelation 20:4, the saints do not worship the Dragon beast nor the Image nor receive the mark. When the 10 horns give all the authority back to the dragon beast, that beast will use the mark and the image to control mankind. WE KNOW that the UN is well on its way for world domination through agenda 2030, and WE KNOW that the dragon is controlling the mark through the use of a digital currency, because laws are already passed, and some nations have even had their internet funds frozen or seized. If it hasn't happened to you yet, it will! God has warned us, so we need to fortify ourselves with the words of Jesus in these verses:
Matthew 6:19-21 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:15 - 21 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’ 40 And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ 41 Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Isaiah 31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD!
1 Samuel 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Isaiah 30:1 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; 2 who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame,
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshmentc to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; 10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
