The beast
To get a true understanding of whom and what the beast is we have to look at three things
1. A symbol of a mortal man Rev. 13:18 ;(He will be slain/die ) Dan.7:11, 8:25 ; 2 Thes. 2:8;
2. A symbol of a principality (He will come out of the Bott. pit) Rev. 17:8 ; Rev 11:7;
3. A symbol of a kingdom Dan.8:23 ;Rev.17:9-11 ;
Ephes. 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Rev. 17:8-17 The beast that thou sawest was, [This means that the symbol of the fallen Angel/Prince and Kingdom part’s of the beast was on earth before Johns day or before Messiah (Christ).That would mean one of the first five Empires/heads] and is not; [This means the beast is not present or ruling on earth during his day /time. The Roman Empire is during his time the sixth head.The Prince of the Roman Empire will not rule during this part of the tribulation because he is not.] and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, [ This means that the beast or fallen Prince will ascend out of the bottomless pit and the mortal man part of the symbol of the beast will be possessed by demons out of the bottomless pit and in the future tribulation. He will defeat the 7th. head/10 Kings and become the 8th.head/Empire] and go into perdition: [Then both symbols the mortal man and the Prince will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity] 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,[Those that will never know Jesus as their saviour, Eloheem (God) has knowledge of all things and he knows who will serve him and go to Heaven .] when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [This means that one of the symbols of the beast a Fallen Angel will come from the bottomless pit and His demons will posses the man part of the symbol of the beast and the mortal man will be killed at the battle of Armageddon and his number will be man’s number which is six,six,six.] Rev.17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [This is the seven kingdoms that have ruled over Israel by the sword 1st. Head Egypt,
2nd. Head Assyria, 3rd. Head Babylon, 4th. Head Medo-Persia ,5th. Head Greece, 6th. Head Rome,
7th. Head the 10 Kings out from the old Roman Empire Terr.; mountains are kingdoms. The woman controls the territories of the previous six heads and of the seventh; this is what it means by her sitting on them.] I will give you an example of a mountain which is a Kindom and the mountain being Rome which was cast into the sea. Mark 11:13-14 (KJV) And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; ( “ See the Fig Tree” ) [ This is symbolic of what was to be the rejection at the cross of the nation of Israel because of their rejection of him and because they weren’t bearing fruit;nothing but leaves is symbolic of them only being a kingdom but no fruit. ] Mk.11:13b. for the time of figs was not yet. {The figs/fruit come after the leaves}
[ Because of their rejection of Jesus he was a going to cut them off and give salvation to another nation the Gentiles .It no longer was their time Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Eloheem (God) shall be taken from you,and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. ] [ After the 7 years of tribulation the whole nation of Israel will bear fruit and be saved in one day. Zech. 3:9 (KJV) For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith YAHWEH (the LORD) of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. ] Romans 11:25-26 ;Isaiah 4:3
Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. [ ahee-ohn'; from the same as Greek 104 (aei); properly an age; (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future) This was just for an age or period of time the times of the Gentiles. ] And his disciples heard it. ) Matthew 13:31-32 (KJV) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. We are suppose to have the faith as a grain of mustard seed not of a grain of mustard seed. See we are to grow in faith as the mustard seed does and become big and strong in the Lord. Matthew 21:21 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. What is Jesus a talking about when he speaks of this mountain? 1st. We must ask what is a mountain in the word of God ? Almost always unless a certain mountain is given the word mountain is a kingdom. 2nd. What kingdom is during this time the Roman Empire, as the faith of the beleivers grew the Roman Empire fell because of Christanity.That mountain was cast into the Sea.
Rev.17: 10 And there are seven kings: [This is just telling us that the seven heads/mountains are seven kingdoms] five are fallen,[This means that five have already fallen before Johns day or before Jesus came to earth in the flesh. Those five are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia ,and Grecia] and one is,[ this means that one is during Johns day which is Rome] and the other is not yet come; and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [This means the seventh hasn’t come yet but it will be here in the future tribulation the first 3 ½ years of tribulation. [This 7th.head/kingdom th 10 Kings will be defeated by the antichrist by the middle of tribulation.]
Rev.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,[This means the beast that was on earth before Johns day and is not during his day even he will assend out of the Pit and he will first defeat three of the 10 Kings and the rest will give him their power.Dan.7:8 and after he defeats the ten kings then he becomes the 8th.head/Empire,] and is of the seven,
[This means that the satanic powers that controlled one of the seven previous kingdoms will control the antichrist/beast. And since he is before the sixth he has to be one of the first five.Egypt,Assyria,Babylon,Medo-Persia or Greece not Rome the 6th.]
and goeth into perdition. [ He will be cast into the lake of fire ]Rev.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. [ These ten kings will come to power in the end times and give their power to the beast/antichrist.] REV.17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [After the antichrist has defeated three of these kingdoms in Dan.7:8 the rest will decide to give their power and strength to the beast to destroy the woman and if they can do that they will think that they can destroy Israel.]Rev.17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is YAHSHUA (Lord) of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [The Lamb is Jesus and this is talking about the battle of Armageddon] Rev.17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [ This is all the countries that the woman has control of all over the world.] Rev.17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, [These peoples within this territory already hate the woman she is called the great Satan ] and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [The only way that these nations that have come into the antichrist power could do such as this is with a nuclear weapon. And a nuclear weapon wouldn’t be able to destroy a religion their would be a remnant somewhere .A persons religion is in their heart and that cannot be totally destroyed by man, everyone with that religion would have to be destroyed and that would take a long period of time man and Satan has been trying to destroy the Jews and Christians always and they haven’t been able to succeed this should tell you something .We must also look at the fact that this woman will be destroyed suddenly in the middle of tribulation and this cannot be done of a religion.] Rev.17:17 For Eloheem (God) hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the Words of Eloheem (God) shall be fulfilled. [ Eloheem (God) has many times raised up kingdoms to fulfill his will to bring forth prophecy; such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia ,and Rome. What kingdom could she be that has the power to control these ten kingdoms until the middle of tribulation?
In this study I will try to give you some of the understanding that I have about how Eloheem (God) sets up all kingdoms
Psalm 68:21a.But Eloheem (God) shall wound the head of his enemies,
Romans 16:20a. And the Eloheem (God) of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. soon-tree'-bo; to crush completely, [ Psa 68:21a. and Rom. 16:20a. are talking about the complete destruction of Satan].[The Word head is symbolic of the principalities which are fallen angels that controls kingdoms.
Satan is over all of our enemies which are Ephes. 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
ELOHEEM (GOD) SETS UP ALL KINGDOMS USING ANGELS Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. [The prince of Persia is the satanic prince /fallen Angel or ruler of the kingdom of Persia in the spirit realm, This was the one ruling the kingdom of Persia for Satan who is recognized in Scripture as being the god and ruler of this world, having usurped man's dominion (Matthew 4:8-9; Matthew 12:24-30; John 8:44; John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4; Ephes. 2:2; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:7-12; Rev. 16:13-16; Rev. 20:1-10). Satan has Fallen Angels or Princes over all the governments of this world Satan has his trusted angels who are responsible to him for carrying out his will in those governments. Satan seeks to hinder or try and stop Eloheem’s (God's) plan in the fulfillment of prophecy regarding world kingdoms. Eloheem (God) also has trusted angels or princes and they carry out His will concerning what He has predicted to take place in the kingdoms of this world (Daniel 10:11-21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1). Hence, there are always wars between these two groups of Angels /Princes in the heavenlies (Daniel 10:13,20-21; Daniel 11:1; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7-12). All wars lost or won on earth are results of wars lost or won by these heavenly armies. All wars are won eventually by all of Eloheem’s (God’s) righteous Angels . Not only over every government of this world are there good and evil spirit beings seeking to influence and carry out the will of their masters, but over every individual life the same is true (Matthew 18:10; 2 Cor. 10:4-6; Ephes. 2:2;
Ephes. 6:10-18; Hebrews 1:14; Jude 1:9). Satan himself is active along the line of seeking to defeat Eloheem’s (God's) purpose in the lives of His children (1 Chron. 21:1; Job 1:6; Job 2:1; Zech. 3:1; Matthew 4:1-11; 2 Cor. 4:4; Ephes. 2:2; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:12). Michael is the prince of Israel (Daniel 10:21; Daniel 12:1). The prince of Grecia is referred to in Daniel 10:20. The Words prince and princes are from the Hebrew: sar (HSN-8269), which means a chief ruler in the natural or spiritual realms. It is generally rendered "prince" in the book of Daniel (Daniel 1:7-11,18; Daniel 8:11,25; Daniel 9:6,8; Daniel 10:13,20,21; Daniel 11:5; Daniel 12:1).
There are Four Angels Named in Scripture
1.Lucifer is named in (Isaiah 14:12; Ezekiel 28:11-17;) Lucifer is Satan /the Dragon and that old Serpant.
2 Abaddon or Apollyon is named in (Rev. 9:11) Apollyon is Satan’s highest ranking fallen Angel the king or prince of the Abyss over all the demons and fallen Angels in the Abyss under Satan whom is in Heaven accusing the brethren.
3.Gabriel is named in (Daniel 8:16; Daniel 9:21; Luke 1:19,26) Gabriel is an Arch Angel and a Prince.
4..Michael is named in (Daniel 10:13,21; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Rev. 12:7) Michael is an Arch Angel and the Prince of the kingdom of Israel.
one of the chief princes This proves there are ranks among angels(1 Thes. 4:16; Jude 1:9
kings of Persia This refers to the satanic princes of the kingdom of the Medeo and Persia Empire
Daniel 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.(THE DEFEAT OF PERSIA BY GRECIA IN THE SPIRIT REALM )Daniel 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.(THE DEFEAT OF BABYLON BY THE MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE IN THE SPIRIT REALM.)ANGELS ARE PRINCES, SATAN IS PRINCE OF THE AIR. JESUS IS PRINCE OF PRINCES WHOM IS OVER ALL ANGELS.THEY ARE ALSO KINGS in Rev. 9:11 (KJV) 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.)
IN Rev. 13:1 (KJV) And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw abeast 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.We must notice here that the ten horns of the antichrist/beast is crowned .Meaning that he has control and will rule the 10 kingdoms, but did not rule the previous seven Satan did in )
Rev. 12:3 (KJV) 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.( by his 7 heads being crowned
THIS MEANS SATAN RULED BY AUTHORITY OVER THE SEVEN PREVIOUS KINGDOMS , BUT SATAN GIVES THE ANTICHRIST HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THE TEN KINGS and he becomes the 8th.head/kingdom
Rev 13:2(KJV) and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopardTHIS LEAPORD IS SYMBOLIC OF THE GREACIAN EMPIRE THE 5TH. HEAD ON THE BEAST OF REV.13:1-2 AND REV.17:3
This lepord kingdom or Grecian Empire is in Daniel 7:6 the prince that controlled the Grecian Empire will control the antichrist/beast Empire the 8th. head of the beast in Rev.13:1 and Rev. 17:3 he is the 8th. He has a face of a leopard and This means that this will be Satan’s Prince that controls the beast/antichrist
Daniel 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. [ The four heads are the four kingdoms that came from this Empire after Alexander the Great’s death at the age of 33; They are the 1st.head is Egypt, the 2nd. Head is Syria, the 3rd. head is Turkey , And the 4th. head is Grecia . These heads which are kingdoms are not in any specific order like the ones that are on beast in Rev.13 and 17 .]Rev. 13:2 , and his feet were as the feet of a bear [ THIS IS SYMBOLIC OF THE MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE in Daniel 10:13 The prince of Persia Dan.10:13 and the 4th. head of the beast/antichrist in Rev. 13:1 and Rev 17:3.]
Daniel 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
[ The Prince of Persia is the fallen Angel that ruled that Kingdom for Satan and the Kings were the fallen Angels under the Prince of Persia’s authority that Michal and Gabriel had to fight in the spirit realm..]Daniel 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
[This bear was symbolic of the Medo Persian Empire which was the 4th. head of the beast of Rev.13:1-2 and Rev. 17:3.] Jeremiah 51:11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: YAHWEH (the LORD) hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of YAHWEH (the LORD), the vengeance of his temple. [This spirit is a fallen Angel; Angels are spirits (see seven eyes and seven spirits of YAHWEH (the Lord). ) This is the fallen Angel that controls the Medo-Persian Empire for Satan the same as the Prince of Persia .
This spirit/Prince has authority over other Princes/Kings which are also fallen Angels in Daniel 10:13 the Kings that Michael and Gabriel fought were these Kings and Princes.]
Rev. 13:2 and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
[ The Lion IS SYMBOLIC OF THE BABYLONION EMPIRE The prince of Babylon. ]
Gabriel helped Michael fight against the prince of Babylon in Daniel 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. [ Michael stood with Gabriel to strengthen him or to fight against and defeat the Prince of Babylon which was Satan’s fallen Angel over the Kingdom. of the Babylonian Empire. They not only had to fight against him but many other Princes/Kings that were under his authority.]
Daniel 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it .[ The lion is symbolic of the Babylonian Empire the 3rd. head of the beast of Rev 13:1-2 and Rev.17:3 }
Rev.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. THIS HEAD THAT IS WOUNDED . IS The Kingdom or the revised Roman Empire ruled by A satanic prince/angel of that KINGDOM AND IS HEALED BY THE COMING OF THE BEAST which is the symbolic name of the satanic prince/angel THE 8TH.HEAD OUT FROM WITHIN THE GREACIAN EMPIRE TERR.. THE 5TH KINGDOM TO PERSACUTE THE JEWS AND IS OF THE SEVEN Rev.17:11 [DAN. 7.]
The demon spirits that controlled that kingdom under the Prince of Grecia will posses and control the beast and the frogs that come out of his mouth in Rev.16;13 these will be some of the demons that he is possessed with.Rev. 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
We can see that Angels are Horns and carpenters in Zech. 1:16-18 (KJV)
Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 17Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. ( These Horns are the fallen Angels or the Heads of the first four Empires in Dan.7. The ones that have scattered Judah and Israel.
1. The 1ST. Horn the Babylonian Empire the 3rd. Head on the beast Rev 13,17/ Dan.7:4 .
2. The 2ND. Horn the Medo-Persian Empire the 4th.Head on the Beast Rev.13,17 /Dan.7:5, 8:2-7
3. The 3RD. Horn the Grecian Empire the 5th. Head on the Beast Rev. 13,17 /Dan.7:6 , 8:5-8.
4. The 4TH. Horn the Roman Empire the 6th. Head on the beast Rev.13 ,17 /Dan.7:7 .
These scattered Israel and Judah all over the four corners of the World.)
These are the same kingdoms spoken of in Dan.2:31-45
20And ( YAWHEW ) shewed me four carpenters.
Zech.1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. Jesus was a carpenter; These four carpenters/Angels came to cast out the four horns/Fallen Angels.
The dragon was wounded when Rahab which is Egypt was cut in Isa. 51:9 the head is a satanic prince/angel which controls the kingdom not a living mortal man;This is the same meaning as the fatal wound in Rev.13:3 The fatal wound is the future defeat of the revised Roman Empire and the revision of the Grecian Empire the face of a leopard by the beast;
Isaiah 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of YAHWEH (the LORD); awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
A RELIGIOUS SYSTEM WILL NOT CONTROL THE ANTICHRIST/BEAST AS MANY TEACH
Not one religious system but Satan will be able to control the antichrist/beast. Only a kingdom will have that power until the middle of tribulation.
He will worship Satan and be possessed and controlled by demons He will not worship the Eloheem (God) of his fathers. [Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the Eloheem (God) of his fathers,]He will get his power and strength from the dragon/Satan himself.
[Rev. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: ] [ We will see latter in the study that antichrist/beast will be a Muslims not a Roman ; ]But we see that He will come out from the old Roman Empire terr. In Dan. 7
Daniel 7:1-28 (KJV) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Beasts are symbolic of kingdoms (Daniel 7:17,23-24; Daniel 8:20-23; Rev. 17:8-11) and the kingdoms rulers (Rev. 11:7; Rev. 13:18; Rev. 17:8).
Dan.7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Some seem to believe that this vision was for 4 kingdoms after the present one but this is not true. Babylon had already risen and was in power when Daniel seen
The image of Daniel 2 , yet Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar, "Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom," etc. (Daniel 2:38-39). If Babylon could be symbolized by a head of gold after it had already risen into power, then the same kingdom could be symbolized by a lion after it had risen. A lion is the symbol of the king of Babylon in(Isaiah 5:29; Jeremiah 4:7; Jeremiah 50:17,44-46).
The Eagles wings denote the swiftness of the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He had made a vast empire In just a few years. The wings being plucked and the lion standing upon its feet as a man with a man's heart being given to it symbolize the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar coming to an abrupt end by his insanity and his becoming sane again—as a man (Daniel 4:33,36).
5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
A bear is a fitting symbol of Medo-Persia because of all their evil and thirst after blood it is also the second kingdom in sucession from the Babylonian Empire(Isaiah 13:16-18; Jeremiah 51:48-56.[one side] This is symbolic of the strength of the Persians compared to the Medes. It is the same Idea as the higher horn of the ram in Daniel 8:3—
Cyrus the Persian who was greater in power and strength than Darius the Mede (Daniel 5:31) and the Persian came up last of the two (2 Chron. 36:20-23; Ezra 1:1-8; Ezra 3:7; Ezra 4:5; Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 45:1). This Medo-Persian kingdom is mentioned in Daniel 5:24-31; in Daniel 6:1-28; in Daniel 7:5,17; in Daniel 8:1-4,20; in Daniel 10:1-20; in Daniel 11:1-2; Isaiah 13:17-22; Isaiah 21:2; 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11; Esther 1:1-9:3.
[three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it] This symbolic of the conquest of Babylon, Lydia, and Egypt by the Medes and Persians. The bear devoured "much flesh."
6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
[leopard] This is symbolic of the Grecian Empire founded by Alexander the Great. The leopard is known for its strength and swiftness. This is the third Kingdom/head that Daniel had seen in order. Previously, the two wings of the lion symbolized swiftness, but here the four wings symbolize double swiftness of Alexander over Nebuchadnezzar's conquests. None of the other beasts conquests equaled those of Alexander the great
The four heads are symbolic of the four divisions of the Grecian Empire after the death of Alexander, as do the four horns of § Daniel 8:8,22-23.
Heads almost always symbolize kingdoms (Daniel 8:20-23; Rev. 17:9-11). This kingdom is mentioned in Daniel 2:32,35,39,45; Daniel 7:6,17; Daniel 8:5-25; Daniel 10:20; Daniel 11:3-45; Zech. 8:13.
7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
The phrase "after this" indicates that the fourth kingdom would follow the preceding one which was—Greece (Daniel 7:6,7).The “fourth beast” is symbolic of the old Roman Empire, the fourth of four kingdoms in succession. It is mentioned by name only in the New Testament in (John 11:48; Acts 2:10; Acts 16:21; etc.). There is no beast on earth to compare it with so it was called dreadful, terrible, strong beast with great iron teeth symbolizing the same as the iron on the image of Daniel 2:40-43.
The Roman Empire devoured the other beasts and stamped upon them with its feet, meaning it conquered all the territories of the first beasts—Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece. It was different from all beasts before it, not only in a republican form of government, but also in power, greatness, extent of dominion, and length of duration. The ten horns symbolize ten kingdoms in the latter days, the last form of the old Roman Empire
(Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24; Rev. 13; Rev. 17:8-17).
Horns almost always symbolize kingdoms / kings (Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24; Daniel 8:8-9, 20-23;Rev.13:1,11; Rev. 17:3,12,16;).
Dan7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
The little horn was the last part of the beast seen by Daniel, and is therefore considered last here (Daniel 7:8,23-24; Rev. 17:12-17).
The ten horns were fully grown Then little horn came up. The little horn plucked up three
of the ten kingdoms by the roots, this is symbolic of the Antichrist coming in the last days
and after the formation of Rome into ten kingdoms. He will overthrow three of them and
the others will submit to him without further war. (Daniel 7:8,23-24;Daniel
9:27;Rev.6:2; Rev. 17:11-17). for they have one thing in their mind to destroy Mystery
Babylon Rev.17:12-13 because if they can destroy M.B. then the Mahdi will come and / or will be able to destroy Israel. “depending how they believe “
Rev.12 the woman clothed with the sunThis little horn will be a mortal man who speaks blasphemies against Eloheem (God) (Daniel 7:8,25; Daniel 11:36; Rev. 13:1,5; Rev. 17:3).
Dan.7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
From the time of Babylon until the judgment of Daniel 7:9-10, the defeat of Antichrist and the second coming of Messiah (Christ) of Daniel 7:11-14.This will be the conclusion of the times of the gentiles their rule over the nation of Israel will end.
Cast down refers to the judgment of the nations (Daniel 7:26; Matthew 25:31-46).
Eloheem (God) the Father is the ancient of days, not Messiah (Christ) who is seen as a separate Person from the Ancient of days in Daniel 7:13-14. Both are seen as separate Persons by the same prophet and at the same place, so there must be at least two Persons in the Godhead. The fact is, there are three. 10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Dan.7:11I beheld then because of the voice of the great Words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
They are Four Things Concerning Antichrist and proving him to be a mortal man
1. He will speak great Words (Daniel 7:8,11,20,25; Daniel 8:23-25; Daniel 11:36; Rev. 13:5).
2. He will be slain (Daniel 7:11; Daniel 8:25; Daniel 11:45; Isaiah 11:4; 2 Thes. 2:8; Rev. 19:20). To be slain at the second coming, he will need to be a mortal man of the last days—one who will die for the first and last time his own appointed death (Hebrews 9:27). He therefore will not be some historical man who has died and been resurrected as an immortal man and an incarnation of Satan, as some believe.
3. His body will be destroyed (killed, Daniel 7:11; cp.).
4. His body will be cast into hell (Daniel 7:11; Rev. 19:20; Rev. 20: Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:510).
He will also be possessed by demons out of the abyss and he represents a kingdom.
12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time
Dan.7:13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
This "one" is the Son of Man, YAHWEH (the Lord) YAHSHUA (Jesus) Messiah (Christ). He is not the Ancient of days of Daniel 7:9-10, but another one, separate and distinct from Him came with the clouds of heaven (Daniel 7:13). This is definitely the second coming of Messiah (Christ) pictured here (Isaiah 63:1-6; Zech. 14:1-5; Matthew 24:29-31; Matthew 25:31-46; Matthew 26:64; 2 Thes. 1:7-10; 2 Thes. 2:8; Jude 1:14; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-21).
If He comes to the Ancient of days, then He is not the Ancient of days. If they bring Him (the Son of man) near before Him (the Ancient of days), then it is confirmed twice in one scripture that these are two separate Persons, each having His own personal body, soul, and spirit. Dan.7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
The Son of man receives dominion, glory, and a kingdom composed of natural peoples of all races that they may be His subjects eternally. His kingdom is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed.
Messiah (Christ) will receive a kingdom at His second coming (Daniel 7:13-14; Zech.
14; Matthew 24:29-31; Matthew 25:25:31-46; Jude 1:14; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 19:11-20:10).
His kingdom will be an eternal one (Daniel 7:13-14,18,27; Daniel 2:35,44-45; Daniel
4:3; Daniel 6:26; Psalm 45:6; Psalm 145:13; Psalm 146:10; Isaiah 9:6-7; Obadiah 21;
Micah 4:7; Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 1:32-33; Hebrews 1:8; Rev. 11:15; Rev. 22:4-5).
His eternal subjects will be the coming eternal generations of natural people who will
continue the same program that Adam and his race would have carried out if man had
not fallen (Daniel 7:13-14,18,27; Daniel 2:44-45; Genesis 8:22; Genesis 9:12; Isaiah
9:6-7; Isaiah 59:21; Rev. 11:15).15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the
midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Dan.7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked
him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things. 17These great beasts, which are four,
are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. These four beasts are
four kings or kingdoms in succession (Daniel 7:17,23-24; Daniel 2:39-43; Daniel 8:20
23; Rev. 17:9-11).18But the saints of the most High shall take the
kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was
diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were
of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces and
stamped the residue with his feet;
The teeth of iron is symbolic of the Roman Empire as revealed in the legs of iron and the feet, part of clay and iron, of Daniel 2:40-43.
Dan.7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Dan.7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[Daniel 7:23-24 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,[which was the 6th. head on the beast and 4th.kingdom from the time of Daniel 7. Which in Rev. 13:1 and Rev.17:3 is the Roman Empire; This will be the fourth kingdom from Daniel’s time forward that will persecute the Jews .
Eloheem (God) was showing him the future not the past. Eloheem (God) didn’t show Daniel the two before his time the 1st. head/Egypt, and 2nd. head/ Assyria which had already persecuted the Jews ; they had fallen before his time and he already had knowledge of them.
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. [This kingdom will be Stronger ] 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:
[ The 7th. head the Ten kingdoms shall arise in latter times or end of times ] and another shall rise after them;
[ The 8th.head/ Kingdom, The antichrist/beast kingdom] and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [ Before the antichrist can bring forth the 8th. Kingdom he has to defeat three of the ten kingdoms and the rest will give their kingdom to him for one reason to destroy Mystery Babylon because then they will think that they can destroy Israel. Rev.17:13-17 ]
In Dan. 8 we also can see the antichrist/beast coming out from of the Grecian Empire territory which is within the Roman Empire territory; Which consist of Egypt, Grecia,Turkey and Syria in
Daniel 8:21-25 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. [ Which was Alexander the great ]
Dan.8:22Now that being broken,[ This is speaking of his death at the age of 33 ] whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. [ four kingdoms came out of the Grecian Empire after Alexander the greats death. Egypt, Grecia, Turkey and Syria. ] 23And in the latter time of their kingdom, [During the tribulation period] when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. [ The beast/antichrist will come out from within one of these four kingdoms][, dark sentences is witchcraft/Satan worship] 24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power
( Rev. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,[He will worship Satan/dragon ,and practice witchcraft ]
Dan.8:24b-25a. and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:[By the covenant he makes in Dan 9:27 with many he will be allowed to war with three nations and defeat them in Dan.7:8 until he comes into full power over them and the rest of the ten horns/kings which are left will give their power and authority to the beast for one reason; to destroy Mystery Babylon Rev.17;16 and Israel next in Rev.12] Dan 8:25b. he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. In [Rev.19:11-21]
[The antichrist will come from one of the four kingdoms of the Grecian Empire and that kingdom will be 8TH. head/kingdom ]
He is called an Assyrian in many scriptures. (Isaiah 10:24-34 (KJV) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. 26And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 27And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 28He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 29They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 30Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 31Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 32As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 34And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Isaiah 14:25; Micah 5:3-5; Rev. 19:11-21).
Isaiah 31:8 (KJV) Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sWord, not of a mighty man; and the sWord, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sWord, and his young men shall be discomfited. [ That mighty man will be Yahshua “Jesus” ]
Isaiah 42:13-14 (KJV) The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. 14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
We can also see him coming out from Syria in Dan.11:40-44 which is spoken of as the kingdom of the north. Daniel 11:40-44 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:[ The king of the south is Egypt.] and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. [The king of the north is Syria. Some people try to say the king of the north is Russia because he is the prince of Meshech and Tubal in Ezekiel 38:2.The only reason that he is their prince is because he will have defeated them and brought them to the battle of Armageddon as a defeated nation and will have become their prince just as he will over the ten kingdoms when he becomes their prince. He goes away and defeats them in Dan.11:44. So now we see that he comes from Syria which is within the old Grecian Empire terr. ,which is within the old Roman Empire territory. Which would make him a Muslims not a Roman/European. He will definitely be a Muslims And the Catholic Church will not control him as many teach.41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
[This is where the Sun clothed Woman /Israel will flee during the last 3 ½ years of tribulation Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of Eloheem (God), that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.[The woman/Israel fled 1,260 days , 3 ½ years or fourty two months] Daniel 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. [The kingdom of the south in Dan 11:40 ] 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. Dan.11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: [The kingdom of the north of this verse is Russia. This is more proof that the kingdom of the north in verse 40 cannot be Russia but Syria, because there are no kingdoms north of Russia. ] therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. [ After he has defeated the kingdoms of the north Russia and east which is probably China he will become their prince the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal Ezekiel 39:1-2.
6c. Gog (Gaga)( Ezekiel 38-39
Gog occurs as the name of the mysterious figure in Eze.38-39. It is a derivation From
Sumerian Gug “Gug”Which means shining “which is also used of angels”.There is a
connection with the diety Gaga “Gaga” who is the vizier of Assur. “Assur” was the
Assyrians father of the gods. “Whom we would call Satan”.Viezer means the muslims
head of state or ruler. When you put this together it reads “ Gog is the Muslims ruler
for Satan”. Proving four things 1st. That Gog (Gaga) is the Beast of Rev. 13 and 17.
2nd.That he is a great Muslims leader. 3rd. That he is a symbol of a man possessed by demons under the authority of a fallen angel. 4th.That many will be deceived by his shining light from the mingled tree of knowledge of good and evil.
There are many facts that prove that Gog of Ezek. 38-Ezek 39 (who is the "little horn" of
Dan.7:7-8,23-24;Dan 8:7-8,20-23, and "the beast" of Rev. 13- Rev 17) does not originate in Russia, but becomes the leader of Russia and all the Kingdoms in the north and east by conquest. He conquers the Kingdoms north and east of the Roman Empire territory, but originates from Syria (Dan. 11:36-45). Therefore, he becomes the scourge of Russia and not her hero and chief son. But he becomes the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal thru. His conquet of them. At least 38 predictions in Ezekiel identify these chapters as being fulfilled at Armageddon at the second advent, and not at the time of some hypothetical war between Israel and Russia happening before the tribulation and the second advent. The predictions include: both Israel and many other nations getting to know Eloheem “GOD” from the time of this battle onward (Ezek 38:16; Ezek 39:6-7,21-25,27); no more pollution of Eloheem “GOD”'s name (Ezek 39:7); Eloheem “GOD” glorified by all nations (Ezek 39:13,21); Israel saved from Gentile domination forever (Ezek 39:26-29); Israel completely regathered from all nations (Ezek 39:28); the Holy Spirit poured out upon Israel (Ezek 39:29); Israel never again to be afraid of other nations (Ezek 39:26); Eloheem “GOD” never again to hide His face from Israel
(Ezek 39:29); Eloheem “GOD”'s name to be sanctified among the heathen (Ezek 39:7); men to see Eloheem “GOD” bodily and in person (Ezek 38:18-22; Ezek 39:1-6,17-24);
and all the heathen to know Eloheem “GOD” from this time forward into all eternity (Ezek 39:23; Rev. 21-Rev 22).Gog and his armies of Ezek. 38- Ezek 39 falling upon the open field to make a great supper for the birds and beasts is exactly the same as in Rev. 14:12-20;Rev 19:11-21; Mt. 24:28,37-42; Lk. 17:34-37 which pictures the battle of Armageddon (Ezek. 38:3-5; Ezek 39:4,17-25).Eloheem “GOD” predicts that the armies of Gog in Ezek. 38:20-22; Ezek 39:6 would become so confused then they would destroy one another. The same is stated of the armies of the Antichrist at Armageddon (Zech. 14:4,10).Josephus (who lived A.D. 37-96 and wrote a history covering the period from Adam to his own death in A.D. 96) said that Magog's sons were called Scythians and they settled around the Black Sea. He said also that the sons of Japheth settled in the Taurus
mountains of Asia Minor, and then spread to many other lands.
He said furthermore that from Gomer came the Galatians; from Madai came the Medes; from Javan came the Greeks; from Tubal and Meshech came the ancient Iberians and Cappadocians of Asia Minor, or modern Turkey; and from Tiras came the Thracians. It was from these ancient peoples that all of Asia and Europe were inhabited, not Russia alone. Now we can tie the fallen angel Apolloyn to Gog.
6d. Apolluwn - Apollyon
Apollo is a Greek god whose name occurs as a theophoric element in the names Apollwv
(Acts 18:24,var. lect.: Apellhv , Apollwniov { of which Apollo is a dimimutive]; 19:1,var. lect.: Apellhv 1Cor.1:12,3:4-6 ; 16:12 and Titus 3:13, Apellhv ( Rom.16:10 ).Apollwnia (Acts 17:1.var.lect.’ Apollwniv Apolluwn , Rev. 9:11).
1. Apollo was considerd an intruder ,it was excepted that Apollo was of non Greek
origin.The attempts to locate his origion havent been 100% conclussive but most agree he probably came from the North-East of Eroupe or Asia minor (Guthrie 1950:70-87), The once Hitite god Apulunas is believed to be Apollo. The fact is that the Hitite god was a fallen Angel and the father of many of the giants. Apollo is also a fallen Angel and the resemblence in this kingdom and Apulunas is visible. Apollo is also the fallen angel Apollon. In the epic literature and at Delos and Delphi the gods name is always spelled Apollon. In the Doric dialect we find Apellon and on Cyprus Apeilon, in Thessaly Aploun. At the beginning of the present era the form Apollon had most completely superseded the Doric form of Apellon.
2. Apollo was considered the author of evil as well as the god of law and order .He was also the god of prophecy and the frightning god who brings pestilence.
We have to look at these facts. I have taught for a few years that Apollo was Apollon which is the fallen prince or angel that rules the beast of Rev.13 and 17. I knew this because Eloheem was putting it into my heart. This was before I knew about the history of Apollo or the Greek gods.I have also been teaching that Apollon is the prince or king of witchcraft, which will be the form of religion that will run rapid during the tribulation. In Rev.6 we have the 4 riders of the Apocalypse .We need to look at the white horse
ridder who will be the antichrist or the beast before Apollon is released from the Abyss.
Rev. 6:2-8 (KJV) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
The10 kings will be possessed and ruled by the demons under the authority of the Fallen prince of the Roman Empire. This will be in fulfillment of Dan.2:31-45 and Dan 7. This Empire of the 10 kings will be defeated by the beast at this time which will be in the middle of the tribulation Apollon’s demons will posess the antichrist which is a mortal man and the result will be the symbol of the beast coming out of the sea Rev.13 with a face of a leapord. The defeat of the revised Roman empire will be the fatal wound that will be healed by the coming of the 8th. Kingdom of Apollon or the beast.
This mortal man will be rulled by the fallen prince of the Greacian Empire in fulfillment of Dan.8. The beast will not be ruled by the prince of the Roman Empire becase it tells us in Rev. 17:11 (KJV) And the beast that was, ( Was on earth befor Johns days “the Grecian prince.” One of the seven which will have to be of the first five kingdoms.)and is not,
(is not during Johns days of the Roman Empire or is not the prince of the Roman Empire. )even he is the eighth, (This will be the last kingdom the mingled kingdom of the feet of part iron and part clay Dan.2:33 ) and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. This means that since he is not on earth during the 6th. And is not the seventh then he has to be of the first five. Since he has the face of a leapord and comes out of the Grecian Empire Territory he will be the fallen Angel who ruled that kingdom which was Apollon.
The beast being possessed and ruled by the fallen prince of the Grecian Empire the prince of the Abyss is the reason for the face of a leapord (Rev.13) or symbolic of the Grecian Empire.
This Ancient Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great was ran by the Fallen prince Apollo or Apollon. Alexander the Great was possessed by demons and was into witchcraft (idolatry) he was also a homosexual and a sodimite. Almost all people who are deeply into witchcraft are homosexuals. Notice that the beast will not desire women. We must also notice that he worships the dragon Satan. Here recently there was an x- Warlock and now christian on Sid Roth’s Supernaturael that spoke of Apollon as being the king of witchcraft whom he would call upon reguarly by name when he was a warlock/witch. There are specific Fallen princes that rule over specific kingdoms and work in specific Gifts. We must understand that the prince that controls the beast will have to know and understand how to run the type of government that will be needed. This prince will be the king or prince of the Abyss because he understands government he runs all the princes and all the demons in the Abyss. He also was considered the god of law and order by the Grecians.
Apollo was the Greek god over pestilence which is also a result of war and is also associated with witchcraft. Every nation that worships Idols or Satan has to deal with a great deal of pestilence.
Apollo was the same as the ancient Sumerian god “ Nergal” Whos names and titles were.
1st. The destroyer “ Apollon is the destroyer”
2nd. The god of war and sudden death.
3rd.The ruler of the realm of the dead
4th.The King of the Abyss “Apollon is king of the Abyss”
5th.The King of the dreadful sWord
6th. The god of plague “ Apollo is the Greek god of plague”
Apollo was the giver and the interpreter of laws. We can read that the beast will try to accomplish this in Daniel 7:25 (KJV) And he shall speak great Words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Apollo was an orical speaking god or fallen prince.His sanctuary in Delphi became the most influential political and religious center of the world. He was also in control of the wars of the Grecians.
The Greek term arche and its equivalent Lat translation principium, carries the basic meaning of primacy in time or rank. It is an abstract term for power and often used with the meaning of “sphere or authority’.This is power that is wielded by someone in a position of political, social or economic authority.Which will be the case with the beast or the prince that controls the antichrist “a man” . Arche can be used as a supernatural power ;good or evil which has control over Mortal human beings such as the antichrist.
We can read in the book of 1Enoch 61:10” and he will call all the host of the heavens, and all the holy ones above , and the host of YahWeh and the Cherubim and the Seraphim and the Ophannim, and all the angels of power ,and all the angels of principalities ( presuming the archai )This is spoken of in the book of Jude. Dan.10:20 speaks of the “prince of Persia and the prince of Grecia” which are angelic beings over kingdoms in the spirit realm. In 1Enoch 6:8 archai is used of twenty named angels or
Watchers each of whom commands ten angels of lesser status.
The call to 7. Armageddon
Rev. 14:17-19 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of Eloheem (God). [ symbolic of Armageddon ]
Rev. 16:13-14 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [These are demon Spirits coming out of two demon possed men and satan himself.] 14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of Eloheem (God) Almighty. Rev. 19:17-19 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great Eloheem (God);
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. Rev.19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [ Then he become their Prince and will bring the kingdoms of the north and east as defeated nations to the battle of Armageddon on a dark and gloomy day.]
Armageddon
Joel 2:1-2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: [Jerusalem] let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of YAHWEH (the LORD) cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. Then at the battle of Armageddon they will take ½ the city . For the beast’s army to have to retake ½ the city then they will have had to loose control of the city at some time. This will happen when the beast’s armies are focussecd upon the armies of the North and East .Dan 11:40-44
Zech. 14:2-3 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [Then Jesus will come ] Zech. 9:14 And YAHWEH (the LORD) shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning:and YAHWEH (the LORD) Eloheem (GOD) shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.[Eloheem ( God) shall blow the trumpet]
Rev. 19:11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of Eloheem (God). [Also with all his Saints and Angels ] Rev. 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, YAHWEH (the Lord) cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [ Not just ten thousand but ten thousand thousands which means that it is as innumerable number of saints also in Zech
Matthew 25:31a When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, [Then he will go forth and fight ]
Zech. 14:3-7 Then shall YAHWEH (the LORD) go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; [The Mount of Olive will become a valley ] and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; [ The Word mountains here and many places in the Word means nations ] for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: [ The valley of the nations/armies shall reach Azal The heathen will be judged at this time in] yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and YAHWEH (the LORD) my Eloheem (God) shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Joel 3:12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [The first half of this verse refers to the Battle of Armageddon and the second half is the judgment of the nations in .]
Matthew 25:31-46 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:[when Eloheem (God) comes back to earth at the battle of Armageddon to set up his kingdom not at the resurrection of the church.] 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, YAHSHUA (Lord), when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Mt.25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44Then shall they also answer him, saying,YAHSHUA (Lord), when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
[ Then Eloheem (God) will re-gather all of Israel ] Isaiah 11:11-12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the YAHWEH (Lord) shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria ;Isaiah 11:12 ;Jeremiah 23:3 ;Jeremiah 29:14 ;Jeremiah 31:10 ;Jeremiah 32:37 ][Then in Joel 2:3-11 the armies of Heaven will fight the antichrist/beast armies and Satan and his angels and defeat them and the tents of Judah will be saved first from the armies of the antichrist/beast, then all will be saved ] Zech. 12:7 YAHWEH (The LORD) also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.Joel 2:3-11 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. [This is Eloheem’s (Gods )Army ] 4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. [ This is Eloheem’s (Gods) Army ] 5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. [This is Eloheems (Gods) Army ]
Joel2:6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.[ The faces of the antichrist armies/peoples which are before/in front of Eloheems (Gods) army will grieve with pain .]7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: [This is Eloheems (Gods) Army] 8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sWord, they shall not be wounded.
[ Only Eloheems (Gods) Army will not be wounded. ] Joel 2:9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. [ Eloheems (Gods) Army ] 10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: [This is Eloheems (Gods) Army ] 11And YAHWEH (the LORD) shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his Word: for the day of YAHWEH (the LORD) is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
[ The day of YAHWEH (the Lord) is here when Jesus puts down this rebellion and sets up his kingdom on earth; The day of YAHWEH (the Lord) is not the Resurrection ] Zech.14:12-13 And this shall be the plague wherewith YAHWEH (the LORD) will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 13And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from YAHWEH (the LORD) shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Zech. 14:14-16 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. [ Judah will also fight at this battle ]
15And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
[ The same day Jesus defeats evil at Armageddon he sets up his kingdom on earth after this battle which will be the same day ,one day.] Zech. 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to YAHWEH (the LORD), not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. [ Eloheem (God) will set up his kingdom here on earth that day when the battle is over and the light appears.]
Zech. 14:8-11 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 9And YAHWEH (the LORD) shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one YAHWEH (LORD), and his name one.
Zech.14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from
