Revelation #53
Continuing on from yesterday in Chapter 17:
Revelation 17:7-14
7But the angel said to me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. 9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. 13These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
In verse 7 we see the angel asking John why he is marveling about the women which is Rome(Babylon) and the beast(anti-Christ). The angel then tells John he will tell him the mystery! The beast is the anti-Christ but has even more meaning here. It also represents the Roman empire as we are told in verse 8. Was, is not, and is about to rise from bottomless pit, and go to destruction is a description of the Roman empire...past, present and future. We are also told the followers of the anti-Christ who are not saved will marvel at this empire after its resurrection.
Then verse 9 tells us we have to think to understand whats coming next! The seven heads are seven heads of the beast represent seven kings and verse 10 gives us more information on these kings....5 are fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does he wont be here long. The 5 that are fallen are: Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. The one who was in power at this time was Domitian. The who has not yet come was the anti-Christ. Then verse 11 gives us more details on Anti-Christ...He was the seventh then he dies, and it resurrected and becomes the 8TH but actually still is the 7th. But thankfully we see his destiny at the end of verse 11 destruction!
Verse12 tells us about the ten horns on the beast. They represent kings(Nations...many think these will come from European Union) who have not received their power yet from the anti-Christ, but at the right time they will along with the beast....for one hour! Verse 13 tells us they will be in one mind with the anti-Christ and will give all power and authority to the anti-Christ(beast). Verse 14 says they will make war on the Lamb(Jesus) and Jesus will conquer them!!! Why? Because He is Lord of lords and King of kings and the saints that are with Jesus are called, chosen, and faithful....oh my brothers and sisters I pray this morning you are numbered along with the other saints!

Preachermantom is your devo page your blog?
I do not see any mention of the antichrist in Revelations.
I personally believe Revelations is an apocalyptic literature that was written for the people of that time to give them a hope of what God was going to do to their persecutors(Romans). Revelations 1:1 starts out with things which must shortly take place and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John. The key word here is signified meaning to make know with signs/symbols and words. So right from the beginning John is telling us that this is to take place soon and this is a book of symbols making it meaninful to the intended audience(i.e. Early Christians who were used to reading this type of literature from Ezekiel, Joel, Zechariah, and Daniel) but at the same time making it obsecure to outsiders. This would have helped protect the writer and reader from the Romans at the time who would not have understood what Revelations meant or that it was referring to them.
As I had mentioned earlier antichrist is only mentioned in 1st and 2nd John.

I didnt see your previous posts before I posted. What I was getting at is lots of claims are made with little scripture to back them up. I do agree with several of the things you listed above but do have a different view of what some of the them represent. Thank you for posting what you did.

Verse 13 tells us they will be in one mind with the anti-Christ and will give all power and authority to the anti-Christ(beast). Verse 14 says they will make war on the Lamb(Jesus) and Jesus will conquer them!!! Why? Because He is Lord of lords and King of kings and the saints that are with Jesus are called, chosen, and faithful....oh my brothers and sisters I pray this morning you are numbered along with the other saints!
Dear Tom, Is this are Salvation? The Blood of Christ!!!

JN...I appreciate a man who studies the scriptures! Revelation is a book that requires a lot of study and interpretation. I sure don't claim that I am. 100 % right! From my studies, this is what I conclude and this is why I teach everyone should study the scriptures for themselves and find solid biblical teachings to draw from. I know that from when I began studying the bible some 20 years ago until now I have changed my views on some things as I have learned more and more. Keep studying the scriptures my friend and mat God reveal truth to all of us!
