Breaking the Beast

[WhoIsLikeGod?]

The Beast from the Sea

“The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name (Rev. 13:1).”

Dragon = Satan (Rev. 12:9)
Beast = kingdom (Dan. 7:23)
Horns = kings (Rev. 17:12)
Heads = kings (Rev. 17:10)

The Holy Roman Empire was comprised of Italy and Germany. Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire: 1806.

The Beast-kingdom from the Sea (Rev. 13:1): the Neo-Roman Empire

Seven Italian Head-kings
1. Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia (1802–1821)
2. Carlo Felice Giuseppe Maria di Savoia (1821–1831)
3. Carlo Alberto Emanuele Vittorio Maria Clemente Saverio di Savoia (1831–1849)
4. Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso (1849–1878)
5. Umberto Ranieri Carlo Emanuele Giovanni Maria Ferdinando Eugenio di Savoia (1878–1900)
6. Vittorio Emanuele Ferdinando Maria Gennaro di Savoia-Carignano (1900–1946)*
7. Umberto Nicola Tommaso Giovanni Maria di Savoia (1946)**

* Wounded by an Austrian grenade and healed (Rev. 13:3)
** Reigned only 34 days, "a little while" (Rev. 17:10)

The blasphemous names: Emanuele, Giuseppe, Giovanni
Emanuele: “God Is With Us”
Giuseppe: “God Will Add, Increase”
Giovanni: “God Is Gracious”

Ten German Horn-kings
1. Frederick William III (1797–1840)
2. Frederick William IV (1840–1861)
3. William I (1861–1888)
4. Frederick III (1888)
5. Wilhelm II (1888–1918)
6. Friedrich Ebert (1918–1925)
7. Hans Luther (1925)
8. Walter Simons (1925)
9. Paul von Hindenburg (1925–1934)
10. Adolf Hitler (1934–1945)*

*Whose holocaust lasted 42 months: 25 Nov. 1941–8 May 1945 (Rev. 13:5)

Revealing the Antichrist

“The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth [head] and is one of the seven [heads], and he goes to destruction (Rev. 17:11).”

“When [the two witnesses] have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them (Rev. 11:7).”

The Beast from the Earth

“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he [the beast] spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed (Rev. 13:11-12).”

Beast = kingdom (Dan. 7:23)
Horns = kings (Rev. 17:12)

Beast-kingdom from the Earth (Rev. 13:11): the United Kingdom

Two UK Horn-kings (Rev. 13:11)
1. George VI (1936–1952)
2. Elizabeth II (1952–2022)

Name of the Beast

“And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six (Rev. 13:16-18).”

The 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet is “waw.” It has a numerical value of 6, like the Roman numeral “V” has a numerical value of 5 (Waw (letter) - Wikipedia). So in English, 666 is “WWW.” Why English? We have been living in the United Kingdom beast-kingdom since 1946. English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It uses Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and does not operate on the additive principle in which the numeric values of the letters are added together to form the total. Therefore 666 is literally "WWW." The official languages of Mandatory Palestine were English, Arabic, and Hebrew. This was formalized in Article 22 of the Mandate for Palestine, issued by the Council of the League of Nations in 1922. The official language of Israel has been Hebrew since 1948. 666 is the number of the beast-kingdom we are living in today, and it is also the name of the beast-kingdom (the World Wide Web). It is the number of a man. One man from London invented the World Wide Web in 1989: his name is Tim Berners-Lee. He is not the antichrist. The antichrist will kill the two witnesses (Rev. 11:7).

Mark = thing carved, sculpture, or graven work (G5480 - charagma - Strong's Greek Lexicon (nasb95))
“Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:16)” = smartphones

In 2024, 60.42% of the world’s population owns a smartphone (BankMyCell). 39.58% of the world's population does not own a smartphone. 25% of the world’s total population is ages 0 to 14 (United Nations Population Fund). This means that approximately 100% of 0 to 14-year-olds do not have smartphones and approximately 14.58% of adults in the world do not have a smartphone.

“Internationally, more than 50,000 people [less than 0.001% of the world’s population] have elected to receive microchip implants to serve as their swipe keys, credit cards, and means to instantaneously share social media information (Carnegie Council—The Rise of Preemptive Bans on Human Microchip Implants, 7/9/2024).”

Additionally, to use a microchip implant, you would need a graphic user interface to determine how much money to put on it. To use an implant, you must download an app on your smartphone, activate an account, and add some money to it.

2017: Sep. 23 Sign of the Son of Man (

) (Rev. 12:1–2)

Sophia the Robot made global headlines when she was granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, making the kingdom the first country in the world to offer its citizenship to a robot. Sophia, therefore, has human rights. And since Saudi Arabia has capital punishment, if one were to destroy a Sophia robot in Saudi Arabia, he could get the death penalty.

"And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause all who do not worship the image of the beast to be killed (Rev. 13:14–15)."

“Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone [1.] worships the beast [the World Wide Web] AND [2.] his image [social, humanoid robots], AND [3.] receives a mark [smartphone] on his forehead [figuratively, as an idol] OR on his hand [literally, as an assistant], he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus (Rev. 14:9-12).’”

You would have to commit ALL THREE offenses to be tormented with fire and brimstone.

 

[Ivan Hlavanda]

“When [the two witnesses] have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them (Rev. 11:7).”

Rev 11 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit[a] will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically[b] is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.

And when did this happen? I'm not aware of there being two witnesses prophesying in Jerusalem, doing those miracles as described, died and resurrected after 3.5 days.

1996: SMARTPHONES = MARK OF THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH (Rev. 13:16)

I have a smartphone, as do many born again Christians. It is not the Mark of the Beast as every Christian is sealed by the Spirit.

Furthermore, the beast ' was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them' (rev 13:7)

The antichrist will make a false peace treaty with Israel, they will call him a messiah, and he will sit down in the temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself to be God. There is no temple in Jerusalem, so this has not happened yet. Also, Jesus will come at the end of the great tribulation.

Everything you wrote just falls apart.

[WhoIsLikeGod?]

And when did this happen? I'm not aware of there being two witnesses prophesying in Jerusalem, doing those miracles as described, died and resurrected after 3.5 days.

I did not say this happened already. I merely suggested this is the way one would identify an antichrist (by the one who kills the two witnesses in the future). However, there have been two witnesses prophesying in the streets of Jerusalem since February 26, 2022, clothed in sackcloth. I do not believe these are the real two witnesses, as fire has not flowed out of their mouth and devoured their enemies. They prophesied no rain on July 21, 2022. It did not rain in Jerusalem from March 26, 2022 to October 19, 2022. They again prophesied no rain on October 26, 2022. It did not rain in Jerusalem again from June 14, 2023 to October 1, 2023. Apocalypse 11:6 makes it sound like it will not rain during the full 1,260 days that the two witnesses prophesy, so again, not a perfect match.

"The Holy Land was shocked last week [the week of May 10, 2020] when a West Bank river ran blood-red in an incident many are likening to a biblical plague. The Yad Hanna stream, which leads to Israel’s Alexander River and, eventually, the Mediterranean Sea, was churning with blood, feathers and other chicken parts caused by 'one or more Palestinian slaughterhouses in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem,' according to the Times of Israel (Freshwater river turns blood-red ‘like a biblical plague of Egypt’)."

As you know COVID-19 struck at the end of 2019. I'm not saying these are the real two witnesses, but they do appear strikingly close.

I have a smartphone, as do many born again Christians. It is not the Mark of the Beast as every Christian is sealed by the Spirit.

You would have to commit ALL THREE offenses to be tormented with fire and brimstone.

"Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.' Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus (Apoc. 14:9–12)."

You may not want to believe that you won't quite make the cut, but if you're reading straight from Apocalypse 14:9–12, then you have no choice but to believe that even if you prayed the Sinner's Prayer, you still won't go to heaven. It is clear that everyone will receive a mark. But not everyone will worship the World Wide Web or social, humanoid robots.

"And he causes ALL, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name (Apoc. 13:16–17)."

Furthermore, the beast ' was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them' (rev 13:7)

The Neo-Roman Empire was allowed to make war on the holy ones and to conquer them for 42 months during the Holocaust (25 Nov. 1941–8 May 1945).

The antichrist will make a false peace treaty with Israel, they will call him a messiah, and he will sit down in the temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself to be God. There is no temple in Jerusalem, so this has not happened yet. Also, Jesus will come at the end of the great tribulation.

Why does everyone claim that an antichrist will make a false peace treaty with Israel??? First of all, one Antichrist embodying Satan is not supported in the Bible.

"Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one [anyone] who denies the Father and the Son (1 Jn. 2:22)."

"For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist (2 Jn. 1:7)."

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now it is already in the world (1 Jn. 4:1–3)."

"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour (1 Jn. 2:18)."

John was teaching new believers what an antichrist is. He defined "the antichrist" as anyone who denies the Father and the Son.

Secondly, the Daniel did not use the words "peace treaty." He used the words "covenant with many." The covenant Daniel referred to was the covenant to the people as referred to in Isaiah 42:

"This is what God the Lord says,

Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:
'I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,
I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the nations,
To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison (Isa. 42:5–7).'"

This covenant to the people was confirmed in AD 33 by Yeshua appearing to Paul, who was apostle to the Gentiles. We know it was AD 33 because the Council of Jerusalem occurred in AD 50, and Paul was baptized 17 years earlier (Gal. 1:18; 2:1).

Paul was baptized 3 1/2 years after Yeshua was crucified (AD 30). And Yeshua was crucifed 3 1/2 years after his baptism in the Jordan River (AD 26).

This fulfilled Daniel's 70th week, which occurred 69 weeks of years, or 483 years, after Artaxerxes's decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (Ezr. 7) in 458 BC.

Daniel 9 says, "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city... (Dan. 9:24)," not "355 weeks have been decreed..." Your Antichrist would have had to have come 2,000 years earlier.

Titus already entered the temple and displayed himself as being God. "Vespasian sent Titus who said, Where is their God, the rock in whom they trusted? This was the wicked Titus who blasphemed and insulted Heaven. What did he do? He took a harlot by the hand and entered the Holy of Holies and spread out a scroll of the Law and committed a sin on it. He then took a sword and slashed the curtain. Miraculously blood spurted out, and he thought that he had slain God himself, as it says, Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly, they have set up their ensigns for signs (Talmud, Gittin 56b)."

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but the great tribulation has already happened.

The great tribulation was discussed in Yeshua's Olivet Discourse. Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded Yeshua's discourse; John did not. The discourse was the same; but the synoptic Gospels recorded Yeshua's words differently. His words did not change; it was how they were recorded that differed. When Matthew wrote "great tribulation," Mark wrote, "time of tribulation," and Luke wrote, "times of the Gentiles." All three were spoken of by Yeshua in the same part of his discourse. They are to be equated.

Matthew 24​	Mark 13​	Luke 21​
“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place—let the reader understand—then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house. And whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak."	“Now when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be—let the reader understand—then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Whoever is on the housetop must not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house. And whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak."	“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are inside the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of punishment, so that all things which have been written will be fulfilled."
"But woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Moreover, pray that when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath."	"But woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Moreover, pray that it will not happen in winter."	"Woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days;"
"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again. And if those days had not been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short."	"For those days will be such a time of tribulation as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will again. And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days."	"for there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
"Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them."	"And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Look, there He is’; do not believe it; for false christs and false prophets will arise, and will provide signs and wonders, in order to mislead, if possible, the elect. But beware; I have told you everything in advance."

Therefore the great tribulation = the times of the Gentiles. There is supporting evidence.

Apocalypse 7:9 says, "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all the tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;"

These are the Gentiles.

Apocalypse 7:13–14 goes on to say, "Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, 'These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?' I said to him, 'My lord, you know.' And he said to me, 'These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'"

The Gentiles are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. That's why the great tribulation is called the times of the Gentiles.

Now, the great tribulation lasted 42 months of years. "Then there was given to me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, 'Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. Leave out the courtyard which is outside the temple and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations; and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months (Apoc. 11:1–2).'"

Daniel 12:1–4 also discusses the great tribulation. "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. And mow at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be any of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. And those who have insight will shine like the glow of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But as for you, Daniel, keep these words secret and seal up the book until the end of time; many will roam about, and knowledge will increase."

How long did it last? A time, times, and half a time (or 42 months of years).

"And someone said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, 'How long will it be until the end of these wonders?' And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish smashing the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed (Dan. 12:6–7)."

A time = 1 year
Times = 2 years
Half a time = 1/2 year

= 3 1/2 years​

3 1/2 years * 12 months/year = 42 months
42 months * 30 days/month = 1,260 days

The abomination of desolation is the Dome of the Rock. The Nazis finished smashing the power of the Jews by 8 May 1945.

Dome of the Rock (AD 688) + 1,260 years (Dan. 12:7) = Israeli Declaration of Independence (AD 1948)

"And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days (Dan. 12:11)."

Dome of the Rock (AD 688) + 1,290 years (Dan. 12:11) = Camp David Accords (AD 1978)

"Blessed is the one who is patient and attains to the 1,335 days (Dan. 12:12)!"

Dome of the Rock (AD 688) + 1,335 years (Dan. 12:12) = Israeli-Hamas War (AD 2023)

The great tribulation and times of the Gentiles lasted from AD 688 to 1948. It was a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time. The Jews were without their homeland for 1,260 years.

The beast that comes up out of the abyss is an eighth (head) and is one of the seven (heads), and he goes to destruction. He will be an actual person. He will kill the two witnesses. He is not quite the beast from the sea, though he is one of the seven kings of the Neo-Roman Empire (think heir to the defunct throne). Paul's man of sin was Titus.

was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
“Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.

The King of the north (man of sin, beast from the sea) recovers from his deadly wound And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
A satanic healing takes place, The King of The North not only survives his deadly wound. But is not possessed by the spirit of a long-departed Roman emperor.
The prophecy of Revelation 17 testifies to this.

The prophecy of Revelation 17 testifies to this.

The beast (from the sea) that carries the woman has seven heads and the ten horns (Apoc. 17:3). The heads are kings (Apoc. 17:10) and the horns are kings (Apoc. 17:12), which means the beast (from the sea) that carries the woman has 17 kings. There's no way a kingdom (Dan. 7:23) that has 17 kings can be a single person. The beast which was, and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. He is the beast that comes up out of the abyss. He is a single person (Dan. 7:17) and will kill the two witnesses. You're right, Babylon the Great is Rome. The seven mountains are:

1. Aventine Hill
2. Caelian Hill
3. Capitoline Hill
4. Esquiline Hill
5. Palatine Hill
6. Quirinal Hill
7. Viminal Hill

The five head/kings who fell were:

1. Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia (1802–1821)
2. Carlo Felice Giuseppe Maria di Savoia (1821–1831)
3. Carlo Alberto Emanuele Vittorio Maria Clemente Saverio di Savoia (1831–1849)
4. Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso (1849–1878)
5. Umberto Ranieri Carlo Emanuele Giovanni Maria Ferdinando Eugenio di Savoia (1878–1900)

The one who was was:

6. Vittorio Emanuele Ferdinando Maria Gennaro di Savoia-Carignano (1900–1946)​

He reigned during WWI and WWII. He was wounded by an Austrian grenade and healed (Apoc. 13:3). “BERLIN. Dec. 28, [1915] (by wireless to Sayville, N.Y.)—A report that King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has been wounded by an Austrian grenade and is in a hospital was given out today by the Overseas News agency, which describes the report as a ‘sensational rumor.’ The news agency adds: ‘There is a general dislike of the war in Italy, and it is said that if only the right man were at the head of the government it would make peace in spite of the London agreement (California Digital Newspaper Collection).’”

When the tenth horn/king, Adolf Hitler, had completed his reign in 1945, Victor Emmanuel III still "was ('is')." Hence, "on his horns were ten crowns (Apoc. 13:1)." Victor Emmanuel III reigned until 1946. That's why he "was ('is')." By the time the beast from the sea's horns had completed their reigns, they received their crowns.

The other (head/king) who had not yet come was:

7. Umberto Nicola Tommaso Giovanni Maria di Savoia (1946)​

He reigned only a little while (34 days) (Apoc. 17:10).

The blasphemous names were: Emanuele, Giuseppe, and Giovanni. Emanuele means “God Is With Us.” Giuseppe means “God Will Add, Increase.” Giovanni means “God Is Gracious.”

"Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven crowns. And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her Child (Apoc. 12:3–4)."

When the seventh head/king, Umberto II, had completed his reign in 1946, the 1946 October Draconids had zenithal hourly rates of thousands of meteors visible per hour, one of the most impressive meteor storms of the 20th century. Hence, "on his heads were seven crowns (Apoc. 12:3)." By the time the beast from the sea's heads had completed their reigns, they received their crowns.

The Apocalypse was written around AD 95. The currently reigning emperor was Domitian, not Galba.

The beast was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction because the Neo-Roman Empire was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. Also, if the seven emperors of ancient Rome were in successive order according to your book, wouldn't the ten kings also be? Your book sounds like a lousy horror flick.

The King of the North was the Seleucid Empire. The man of sin was Titus. The beast from the sea was the Neo-Roman Empire from 1806 to 1946.

I'm curious, what is regarded as worshipping the www, would it be frequenting on platforms like this, or owning a smartphone. Does the OP own one? Is the OP using the www for posting and research?

Worshipping is defined by Webster as loving exceedingly. I do own a smartphone, but I do not love it. I use it sparingly. I also do not love the World Wide Web or social, humanoid robots. In fact, I hate robots. Apocalypse 14:9–12 says you have to commit all three offenses. I do use the Web for posting and research. But Apocalypse 13:16 says, "And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hands or on their forehead..."

People think that just because it says something bad will happen in the Bible, they can avoid it. That's not what a prophecy is. A prophecy says what WILL happen in the future, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. You can't stop a prophecy from coming true. For example, if you were to not receive a smartphone in the not-so-distant future, you wouldn't be able to buy or sell. You would starve to death. Prophecies exist to demonstrate YHWH's omniscience and faithfulness, not so you can avoid doing a bad thing.

I'm not saying these are the real two witnesses, but they do appear strikingly close.

They cannot be the two witnesses.

The two witnesses will prophesy during the first half of the 7 year tribulation. The antichrist has not yet been revealed, as for now he is restrained by the Holy Spirit as we see in 2 Tes 2. The antichrist will sign a false peace treaty with Israel, but after 3.5 years, he will break the covenant with them, and he will sit in a temple in Jerusalem proclaiming himself to be God. As for now, there yet is no Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and there is no sacrifices. How do I know all of this?

Daniel 9 26 And after the sixty-two weeks (one week is 7 years as should be the proper translation), an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.

So the antichrist will make a covenant with Israel for 7 years, but after 3.5 years, he will break the covenant. Isaiah prophesised about this.
Isaiah 28 14Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem! 15 Because you have said, “We have made covenant with death, and with Sheol we have an agreement

Israel will accept the antichrist as their saviour, their messiah, as prophesised by the Lord. John 5 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
Israel will receive the one who comes in his own name - antichrist.
Then he will break the covenant after 3.5 years, he will sit in temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself God. However God will pour His Spirit on the Jews and they will see that the one who sits in Jerusalem is the false messiah and they kick him out. He will get really angry, second 3.5 years start, also know as Great Tribulation. Antichrist will gather enemies of Israel and will gather against them, then Armageddon, then the Lord comes.

You may not want to believe that you won't quite make the cut, but if you're reading straight from Apocalypse 14:9–12, then you have no choice but to believe that even if you prayed the Sinner's Prayer, you still won't go to heaven. It is clear that everyone will receive a mark. But not everyone will worship the World Wide Web or social, humanoid robots.

Not everyone will receive the mark of the beast. Those who refuse it will be killed by the antichrist. Born again Christians cannot receive the mark as they are sealed by the Holy Spirit and they are the children of God. Everyone who will receive the mark will have the same fate as antichrist in the lake of fire, not one child of God will be in lake of fire. The elect of God will be protected.

Btw the mark is not the smartphone, as we can buy and sell without the smartphone.

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but the great tribulation has already happened.

The Great Tribulation did not happen. The Great Tribulation is the second half of the 7 years, and the Lord will come at the end of it. Has the Lord come yet? No. So it did not happen, it's a futuristic event.
Also, during the Great Tribulation God will pour 7 bowls of wrath on Earth via his angels on all inhabitants of the world. That has not happened yet.
Matthew 24: 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
The Great Tribulation will be greater than what happened in 70 AD, greater than Holocaust.

I'm sorry, but what you wrote is all over the place.

Good luck waiting for that to happen. It's all misconstrued but hey, at least there are others like you. None of the prophetic details work in your favor.

 

[Hawkins]

The beast coming out of the sea is basically UK. United Kingdom is multi-headed because it is composed of multiple countries. The beast is in the shape of a leopard with a bear feet and lion mouth. This refers to the island map where England and Ireland are located.

White circle - body of sitting leopard
Red circle - mouth of a lion
Blue circle - feet of a bear

What the book of Revelation mentioned, in terms of end time, is a distribution of world power with its effect. The world shifted from the England dominance to the US dominance, something significant (spiritually) emerged along with this power shift.

Revelation 13:11
Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

This is the description of the US. While it's largest Christian country (having two horns like lamb), but something else is conveying through its worldwide education influence, where atheism was born and grown and is plague. The blasphemy is far beyond countries with people who don't know God. The worst of atheism is from those who grew up in a Christian country and they know the Bible and God enough to launch their attack.

Revelation 13:17
so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

It's a characteristic of the US dollar, it's indicative with a portray of Washington. Washington is the name of the US and the name of the beast and the image indicative of US currency without which international deals cannot be made. US dollar represents the US power (as delivered from England after WWII, England is the head with a fatal wound).

Revelation 13:13
And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.

Another indication of the US power, the only country ever dropped the atomic bomb in a war. "Worshiping England" means US delivers its education system in the same language (English) from England, while secular education (since childhood till university graduated) is the hotbed where atheism and anti-God notion are produced.
