Three Beasts
The Book Of Revelation (properly known as “The Revelation Of JESUS CHRIST”) is written with many symbols and metaphors that imprint a deeper understanding into the minds of those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Within this book are described two beasts which represent governmental systems and one beast representing the leader of those systems.
The First Beast:
(Revelation 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.
[
Note:
In nature, you will notice that GOD does not create multi headed creatures. GOD does everything in a natural way. Although multi headed creatures do exist, they seldom, if ever have more than two heads and are the result of a mutation. This beast in Revelation 13:1 is a governmental system. Also, this beast is on earth and rises up out of the sea at the end of days. The sea is a sea of people. This sea of people is supposed to be the Bride of CHRIST, but due to their lack of knowledge of GOD’S WORD they are deceived into worshiping the devil, which is the false CHRIST. Because of the people’s lack of love for the TRUTH, they become the bride of satan and are known as the great whore that sits upon many waters.
(Revelation 17:15) And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
]
So this beast rises up out of the people. It is the governmental system of the end time. The One World System.
(Revelation 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.

Note:
Identifying The Beast
Notice in the verses below, that "not the spot of HIS children" in Deuteronomy 32:5 below, and the phrase (“the spot of HIS children”) meaning "sons" as in family name, says that "their spot" has to mean the only other possibility, which would mean the devil's children. Meaning that they are not HIS children, therefore they must be satan’s children because there are only two choices.
(Deuteronomy 32:5) They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not H3808 the spot of his children: H1121 they are a perverse and crooked generation.
H3808
לֹה לוֹא לֹא
lô' lô' lôh
lo, lo, lo
lo; a primitive particle; not (the simple or abstract negation); by implication no; often used with other particles: - X before, + or else, ere, + except, ig [-norant], much, less, nay, neither, never, no ([-ne], -r, [-thing]), (X as though . . . , [can-], for) not (out of), of nought, otherwise, out of, + surely, + as truly as, + of a truth, + verily, for want, + whether, without.
H1121

Notice in verse Deuteronomy 32:6 below that GOD is now talking to HIS children and asking them: Do you “thus”, which means “in like manner”, meaning in the same manner as “their spot” or satan’s children in Deuteronomy 32:5 do? GOD is asking this with reference to Deuteronomy 32:5 where HE says that their spot is a perverse and crooked generation.
Deuteronomy 32:6 Do ye thus H2063 requite H1580 the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
That is to say; Do you likewise treat the LORD as satan’s children do, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
H2063
זֹאת
zô'th
zothe'
Irregular feminine of H2089; this (often used adverbially): hereby (in, with), it, likewise, the one (other, same), she, so (much), such (deed), that, therefore, these, this (thing), thus.
H1580
גָּמַל
gâmal
gaw mal'
A primitive root; to treat a person (well or ill), that is, benefit or requite; by implication (of toil) to ripen, that is, (specifically) to wean: bestow on, deal bountifully, do (good), recompense, requite, reward, ripen, + serve, wean, yield.
Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
The leopard, which cannot change his spots are likened unto satan’s children, and this is what the beast is likened unto. They are accustomed to doing evil, so can they do good? In my opinion, if they can do good, then a leopard can also change his spots.
If you look at Ezekiel 38 and 39, you will see that the chief prince, which is Russia (Esau), comes against nations of Israel in the latter days. This happens at the battle of HamonGog. Study the Post: “The Battle Of HamonGog” for detailed information on this subject. The mouth of this beast is the mouth of a lion. The symbol of Judah, which are the true Jews is the Lion. The mouth of this beast, those that control, is the false lion, it is the mouth of those who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie and are actually of the synagogue of satan. See Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Also see the article: “Who Are The Elite And Why Do They Have So Much Power?”.
Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 are the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, and are the only two end time churches that JESUS is happy with. They both teach the same thing, which is who cain’s offspring are which say they are Jews and are not, but do lie and are actually of the synagogue of satan.
The Church of Smyrna
(Revelation 2:8) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
(Revelation 2:9) I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
(Revelation 2:10) Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
(Revelation 2:11) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
The Church of Philadelphia
(Revelation 3:7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
(Revelation 3:8) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
(Revelation 3:9) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
(Revelation 3:11) Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
(Revelation 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
(Revelation 3:13) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
At this point so far, we know that the beast of Revelation 13:1 is satan’s children and that they use Russia as their foot soldiers.
The dragon is satan himself. The dragon gives the beast his seat (throne) and great authority.
So we know that the beast is satan and his children in control of the one world system, using Russia as it’s feet (which could mean carrying it’s message or enforcing it’s control over the world for any that will abstain from it’s influence). The TRUE Israel will abstain from its influence in the end and that results in The Battle Of HamonGog.

(Revelation 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.
[
Note:
All the world wondered after the beast (which includes peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues). It’s a one world system.
The beast does not have all seven heads at once. These heads are the kings of the beast as it is formed over time. Except for one instance where there were two heads at once, or two kings at once (Media/Persia), the beast only has one king or head at a time.
The head that gets wounded is the head that is just prior to when satan shows up as antichrist. The devil heals that head (consider the type of wound that would be deadly to a government). For a detailed study on the seven heads of this beast, watch: “Five Are Fallen” - Parts 1 & 2.
]
(Revelation 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?
[
Note:
Who is able to make war with him? No one, because there is no one to go against him. It’s a one world government.
]
[
Note:
Now notice that this beast has ten horns. A horn is symbolic of power. The interesting thing is that the crowns are on the horns, not on the heads.
(Revelation 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.
(Revelation 17:13) These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Notice the power of the horns are given unto the beast? These ten horns are ten kings without kingdoms, but they receive power 'as kings' for one hour with the beast. The hour that is talked about here is the hour of temptation, which is the great tribulation and is also known as Jacob’s Trouble. It’s the time of antiCHRIST and his One World System government.
Also notice that the crowns are not on the heads. If the crowns were on the heads it would mean that these are actual kings with kingdoms. A kingdom is a king and his dominion. These are not actual kings with dominions though because the crowns are on the horns (meaning it's a political power structure).
These horns are given power as kings, but since the crowns are on the horns, they don’t have their own 'home grown' kingdoms. Normally, a kingdom is a family reign where kingship is passed down to the king’s son. Since these ten horns receive no kingdom as yet; but are given power “as kings” for one hour “with” the beast, it means they come with the beast.
These are ten fallen angels that get cast out of Heaven with satan in Revelation twelve. They are the iron that is mixed with the miry clay in the ten toes of the image in king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of Daniel chapter two. See “Five Are Fallen” and "Clay And The Ten Horns Of Iron".

(Revelation 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.
[
Note:
The blasphemies are that satan is claiming to be GOD. The time that is given unto him is shortened for the elect’s sake. All prophecies given in nights, moons, or months are related to satan and his fallen ones. Prophecies given in days, solar months, or years are related to GOD and HIS children.
(Mark 13:20) And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(Revelation 9:5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
(Revelation 9:10) And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
(Revelation 9:11) And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
The name means the same thing is two languages, so there can be no mistake. The name means “destroyer”, which is the king of the bottomless pit. The king of the bottomless pit is satan.
]
(Revelation 13:6) And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[
Note:
How can he blaspheme the Name of GOD when he is claiming to be GOD? By claiming to be GOD!
]
(Revelation 13:7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
[
Note:
The way that he overcomes the saints is by killing the two witnesses. This is also what causes the tribulation to be cut short. GOD commanded that those with The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads not be hurt. The two witnesses are saints also and have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads. Power was given him over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and nations (meaning a one world system).
(Revelation 11:1) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
(Revelation 11:2) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
(Revelation 11:3) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
(Revelation 11:4) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
(Revelation 11:5) And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
(Revelation 11:6) These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
(Revelation 11:7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
(Revelation 11:8) And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
(Revelation 11:9) And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
(Revelation 11:10) And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
(Revelation 11:11) And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
(Revelation 11:12) And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
(Revelation 11:13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
(Revelation 11:14) The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
(Revelation 11:15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
]
(Revelation 13:8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship G4352 him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[
Note:
Those whose names ARE written in the book of life of the LAMB from the foundation of the world are the saints, GOD’S 7000, the election. It’s those that have been predestined from the foundation of the world.
The definition of the word “worship” in Revelation 13:8:
G4352
προσκυνέω
proskuneō
pros koo neh' o
From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): worship.
]
(Revelation 13:9) If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[
Note:
(Romans 11:2) God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
(Romans 11:3) Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
(Romans 11:4) But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
(Romans 11:5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
(Romans 11:6) And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
(Romans 11:7) What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
(Romans 11:8) (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
(Luke 8:10) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Those who understand GOD'S WORD have eyes to see and ears to hear.
(2 Timothy 2:15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD. In JESUS' NAME, Amen.
