It Is High Time To Understand Revelation Chapter 13: Rightly!

The problem of not taking into account of the crowns changing from the heads to the horns has a big impact. This point has never been brought out. When did it happen in time? It happened when the pope was taken captive and killed. It put an end to the martyrdom of the dark ages. Then Satan sets up a new order of rule changing the king power from the heads to the horns.

In Rev. 13:1 we see the crowns on the horns on this new image beast that is rising up out of the sea of peoples. Previous to this date it was Satan’s old world order and now starts a New World Order. N.W.O. That date was 1798. Satan the great red dragon in chap. 12 ruled the earth through the religious systems, the heads, they had the crowns. Read Rev 12:3 to see this.  Five of those religious systems were proven false when Christ died on the cross and Him resurrected proving this was the true religion, it had a Saviour. So then after around 300 years it fell in apostasy and became the Papacy. The Papacy became the one that John saw as “one is” in his day.


17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (Chapter 17: is the explanation chapter)

So this makes the papacy the sixth head of the beast system. The one that “is not yet come” is the reform movement known as Protestantism which did continue for approximately 500 years, a short space and counts to the seventh head. Now all protestant churches are no longer protestant of the Papacy or Judaism or even the occult etc. The only protestants are now the invisible true church. Like you and I as we see all in apostasy and protest.


Re
 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. ( very important verse )

Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.


The beast that is the eighth is Satan, the first son of perdition. He is of the seven because he now leads them all. The one that became the Papacy was the one set up by the Apostles and was the one John saw “and one is” after the five before it fell proven false, no saviour. This is the heads, six in Johns day, the seventh had not yet come.

Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

We see him come out of the earth in Rev. 13:11 where he was cast “into the earth“. Yes and the whole world will “wonder”, admire and worship him.

Re 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

(then )
Re
 13:11 ¶ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

He comes out personating Jesus and will take that name, he appears to be a male lamb so to speak, Jesus Christ the Saviour but is not. But he speaks as a dragon because that’s who he is!  However he has not as of yet been allowed to come forth and try to prove he is Jesus Christ.

That should explain the change of kingly power and it’s importance to the prophecy.

Now to show the Papacy is not the first beast of Rev. 13:. It is really very simple but not many read and understand all each verse brings out.

Re 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

This leopard like beast also has 7 heads and 10 horns like the great red dragon, Satan and so is his image, likeness, as it is later called.

Re 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.


Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

First off notice “one” of the beasts heads is wounded and is healed and then all the world wonders after the beast, not the wounded head that was healed. There is 6 more heads to the beast and 10 horns. The beast is greater than the head that was wounded.

Note also it is the dragon giving this first beast “HIS” power, seat and great authority, 13:2 above.

Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

I want to bring out another important point here and that is this image beast can only make war for 42 more months after the deadly wound is healed. These 3 verses prove it.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.


You surely can see he then is to continue to make war, on the Saints, and that is it period, no more continue.

The dragon is revealed at this from verse 11 on, has power to give life to the image beast. No one makes war with it as it now rules the world.

Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

This he does to prove to the world he is God.

Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

The number of this second beast is 666, verse 18 and a lot of folks fly up and say well Satan is not a man but God sees it different.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man,
and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.


Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
 

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.


America is not the second beast of chap. 13. SDA’s didn’t follow EGW too well, read what she said here, 3 Selected Messages page 393 paragraph 1, note the verses she quotes.

“In Revelation we read concerning Satan: "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:13-17)”. . . . {3SM 393.1}


The first beast of the chap. now has “his” Satan’s seat, power and great authority. Then when Satan comes forth and after a time he will give the ten “horns” I find a tenth of the earths kingdom to each of them as his under shepherds. They have king power now but have not been divided a portion yet as their domain, kingdom. One hour only though, verse Re. 17:12.

Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

And so then they are totally with him, “one mind” and

Re 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

If this don’t make sense let me know where you have trouble.

Revelation 12:3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.

Could this refer to the Rothschilds,...(the reference to the Red Dragon, which is also their symbol.)

Or is that too much of a stretch to assume it is "spelled out" so obviously?

Anonymous,

These verse will reveal it is Satan.

Re 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Re 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Re 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Re 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

This was long before the Rothschilds.

Then perhaps the Rothchilds adopted it,knowing it's symbolism!

Seems appropriate,in any case,just for speculation.

Any visitors here from LA Marzulli's site have any idea what "negative comments" he was referring to,for having to shut down the comments on his blog?

I wonder if it was going the other way from what he wanted and closed down the comments.

The truth loves investigation so why close down peoples responses.

It evidently can't stand investigation or comments wouldn't have been closed down is my take also.
