Hello All
Why Does Daniels Fourth Beast have seven heads?
Why Does The Beast in Rv 13 have seven Heads?
The SEVEN HEADS on the Revelations Beast
(ruled by the "harlot" Babylon) represent seven
"Kings" and/or "Mountains".
These Kings are also shown as the SEVEN HEADS
of Daniel's four Kingdoms. They include one head/king
from Daniel's (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom (Lion), another
head/king from Daniel's (2nd) Jewish Kingdom (Bear).
It includes four heads/kings from Daniel's (3rd) Christian
Kingdom (Leopard) and the last head/king is from Daniel's
(4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom... namely, the Anti-Christ
("Little Horn" or "False Prophet"), for a total of
seven "Heads", seven "Kings", seven "Mountains".
Five Kings "are fallen" because (when the Apostle John
saw the vision) the head/king from Daniel's (1st) Pre-Flood
Kingdom and the head/king from Daniel's (2nd) Jewish
Kingdom were both "fallen". In addition, three
(out of the four) heads/kings from Daniel's (3rd)
Christian Kingdom were also "fallen"...
for a total of FIVE FALLEN KINGS.
The last remaining head/king of the New Testament
Kingdom had not yet "fallen" because the last head/king
in the (3rd) Christian Kingdom was also the author
of the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John.
The one King that "is not yet come" [Rev 17:10] is
the "Little Horn" or "False Prophet" of the (4th)
Great Tribulation Kingdom. This is the Seventh "King"
that arises after the "testimony" of the Two Witnesses
was "finished" (after the Great Commission), when
Satan is "loosened" from the Bottomless Pit and given
spiritual "dominion" over the "Wise Virgins" during
the "1st Woe".
It's the Seventh King that led the "Ten Virgins" out of
the (3rd) Christian Kingdom, as we "went forth" into
the Fourth Kingdom. It's the Seventh King that
"overcomes" and then "kills" the Saints during the
Reign of the First Revelation "Beast". However,
the Seventh King only "continues a short space"
[Rev 17:10]. The Seventh King suffers an
apparently fatal wound at the END of the "1st Woe".
But later he's resurrected as the EIGHTH "King"...
during the "2nd Woe".
Rev 17:11 And the Beast that was, and is not,
even he is THE EIGHTH, and is OF THE SEVEN,
and [the Eighth Head/King] goeth into Perdition.
The EIGHTH King of the Revelations Beast is
"of the seven" because that King is the same
"False Prophet" (the 7th King) after he has been
'resurrected' from his near fatal "wound", suffered
at the end of the "1st Woe". The Eighth King is the
same False Prophet ruling over the "image" of the
First Revelations Beast. This shows the Fourth
Kingdom during the 6th Trumpet (the "2nd Woe").
It is this Eighth King that made everyone
(living in the 4th Kingdom) worship the "image"
of the First Beast. It was this Eighth King that caused
everyone (in the 4th Beast) to take the
"Mark of the Beast". It was this Eighth King that
was cast alive into the "Burning Flame" or
"Lake-of-Fire" at the end of the 4th Kingdom
- as the Eighth King "goeth into Perdition".
