The scarlet beast is....

[Spiritual Jew]

The term abomination of desolation is not mentioned in Luke 21. It is in Mark 13:14, however.

That is because the primary audience of Luke 21 were Gentiles and the primary audience of Mark 13:14 were Jews who would have been familiar already with the abominaton of desolation prophecy. Luke had to spell out what it related to because the Gentiles had no knowledge about the abomination of desolation.

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.

The similarities between these passages are obvious and undeniable. It's not even reasonable to conclude that Jesus was talking about different events in the two passages. The only reason there are differences is because the primary audience of Luke (the Gentiles) was different than for Mark (the Jews). That's why in Mark 13:14 (and in Matthew 24:15) it says "let him that readeth understand". It would not make sense to say that to Gentile readers who had no knowledge about the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel. The "desolation" referenced in Luke 21:20 is the same "desolation" referenced in Mark 13:14 and Matthew 24:15. There is no basis for claiming otherwise.

Satan is not in the bottomless pit. He goes about as a roaring lion seeking who he can devour.

Premils like to quote 1 Peter 5:8 as if Satan is all powerful and has no restraints, but seem to ignore or have no knowledge of the verse which follows it.

1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

So, are people powerless against Satan while he goes around like a roaring lion? No. Why not? Because he is bound/restrained from just doing completely as he pleases the way he was able to do in Old Testament times. In New Testament times during which believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, we merely have to resist him and he must then flee from us.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

It was not like this in Old Testament times. He must flee from us now if we resist him because he knows he cannot overcome the power of the Holy Spirit living in us.

In Old Testament times he held the power of death over people which resulted in them fearing death and having no hope of eternal life. But, in New Testament times he has had that power taken away because he is bound and that has resulted in multitudes being set free and having the hope of eternal life after previously being "held in slavery by their fear of death".

Hebrews 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Premils don't understand that what is taught in Revelation 20 is also taught in other scripture. They act as if Revelation 20 is the only scripture that speaks of Satan's binding, but that is not the case.

 

[Douggg]

So, are people powerless against Satan while he goes around like a roaring lion? No. Why not? Because he is bound/restrained from just doing completely as he pleases the way he was able to do in Old Testament times. In New Testament times during which believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, we merely have to resist him and he must then flee from us.

I don't think anyone here claims that people are powerless against Satan. He is not in the bottomless pit, however. And does attempt to destroy people. The verses you cited are valid. And no here would argue differently. Our power though is not our own, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within our soul, to be with us forever, even when this mortal body goes to sleep.

And there is another set of verses for Christians...

1John4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

[Truth7t7]

The beast out of the sea - having a composite make up of different beasts, i.e. the leopard, the bear, the lion - is the kingdom which the ten horn kings and the beast king will be a part of. That kingdom is end times, with 42 months left in the 7 years.

Differently, the Scarlet colored beast and the great red dragon beast - are not a kingdom - but Satan.

I Strongly Disagree As Seen Below

Scripture clearly teaches the scarlet colored beast is the same beast that rises out of the sea, (Satan/Dragon) gives him his power in the "Future"

Your claim the scarlet colored beast with seven heads and ten horns is Satan is "False", he will be the human man (The Beast) seen in Revelation 13:1-5 below, same seven heads, ten horns, name(s) of blasphemy

I hope that helps you, Jesus Is The Lord

(The Dragon Gave Him His Power)

Revelation 17:3KJV
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Revelation 13:1-5KJV
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
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.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

 

[Truth7t7]

The beast out of the sea in Revelation 13 is an end times kingdom

Your claim is "False" (The Beast) out of the "Sea" will be a literal human man, just as scripture teaches below

"Sea" represents multitudes of people, he will rise out of the earth's masses of people

(It is The Number Of A Man)

Revelation 13:18KJV
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

 

[Douggg]

Scripture clearly teaches the scarlet colored beast is the same beast that rises out of the sea, (Satan/Dragon) gives him his power in the "Future"

The beast that rises out of the sea has a composite make-up of three beasts of three ancient former empires. That composite beast is not an individual, but an end times kingdom.... that will, with 42 months left in the seven years, have gained control of the territory once held by the three former ancient empires.

That kingdom will have seven heads (no crowns, because the prophecy of the seven kings will be over before the 42 months in Revelation 13 begin) and ten horns - i.e. ten kings who have their crowns to rule with the beast king - the mortally wounded but healed head.

__________________________________________________________________________________

In Revelation 17 and Revelation 12 - the Scarlet colored beast and the great red dragon beast is Satan - an individual, not a kingdom like the beast out of the sea.

The great red dragon beast is said to be Satan in Revelation 12:9.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Here's what I would like for you to do Truth7t7. When referring to the man called the beast - refer to him as the beast king.

And when referring to the kingdom of the beast - refer to that as the beast kingdom. It will help keep things straight of what we are talking about.


The beast out of the sea is the beast kingdom.

The mortally wounded, but healed head is the beast king.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

I don't think anyone here claims that people are powerless against Satan.

So, why do Premils like you focus on 1 Peter 5:8 and not 1 Peter 5:9 then?

He is not in the bottomless pit, however.

He is. You just don't understand what that means.

Do you believe that the beast is in the bottomless pit now? That is what is indicated in Revelation 17:8, right?

Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: 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, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Don't the beast and the dragon (Satan) work together (see Revelation 13)? To me, it makes sense that if the beast is in the bottomless pit, as John indicated is the case, then it only follows that the dragon is in the bottomless pit as well since they work together.

I just thought of something in relation to what you believe. Don't you claim that the Revelation 17 beast is Satan? If so, can't you see that it indicates that he was in the bottomless pit when John wrote the book and he would ascend out of it at some point in the future?

And does attempt to destroy people. The verses you cited are valid. And no here would argue differently.

Yet, for some reason you don't recognize those verses as being related to Satan's binding. Despite the fact that those verses reflect a major change in Satan's status in the New Testament time period compared to the Old Testament time period.

Our power though is not our own, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within our soul, to be with us forever, even when this mortal body goes to sleep.

Of course! Do you think I would say otherwise? It is because of the power of the Holy Spirit through the preaching of the gospel that Satan is unable to keep the world in spiritual darkness and in the fear of death with no hope of eternal life the way he was able to do in Old Testament times. That is what his binding is all about. It has nothing to do with him being completely incapacitated and unable to do anything as Premils believe.

And there is another set of verses for Christians...

1John4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Yes, this is a good scripture passage that we should all take to heart. So, the question I have for you is why would you not relate this passage and passages like Hebrews 2:14-15 to Satan's binding? Is it not true that Satan has much less power in NT times than in OT times because of the Holy Spirit's presence in us and in the world today through the preaching of the gospel and through the works that the Holy Spirit does through us?

 

[Douggg]

Your claim is "False" (The Beast) out of the sea will be a literal human man, just as scripture teaches below

No, it is the mortally wounded/healed head that becomes the beast king, king 8. He is also called the beast - which does cause some confusion.

But there is the beast out the sea - a kingdom
And there is the mortally wounded but healed head - also called the beast (king)

As it indicates Revelation 13:18, and I agree with you, that person called the beast will be a man. But he is the mortally wounded but healed head - not the overall beast out of the sea.

 

[Douggg]

I just thought of something in relation to what you believe. Don't you claim that the Revelation 17 beast is Satan? If so, can't you see that it indicates that he was in the bottomless pit when John wrote the book and he would ascend out of it at some point in the future?

I understand your rationale. But Revelation 17:7 introduces Revelation 17:8 as the mystery about the Scarlet colored beast - Satan.

The mystery about Satan in Revelation 17:8 is the connections he has. Back in the garden of eden, he spoke through the literal serpent beast to get man to sin. God punished the serpent, and he died. And that is the beast in the bottomless pit. Now a disembodied spirit to someday ascend out of the bottomless pit to possess the end times beast king.

The second part of Revelation 17:8 is the connection that Satan will have with the end times beast king, who Satan will give his power to.

The people of the world will witness king 7 killed and brought back to life as the beast king, king 8. They will be dumbfounded to witness it happen.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

I understand your rationale.

That's about the best I can hope for from you as I know we will almost certainly never agree on these things. But, just trying to get you to understand what I believe is sometimes a major challenge. So, I'll take this.

But Revelation 17:7 introduces Revelation 17:8 as the mystery about the Scarlet colored beast - Satan.

The mystery about Satan in Revelation 17:8 is the connections he has. Back in the garden of eden, he spoke through the literal serpent beast to get man to sin. God punished the serpent, and he died. And that is the beast in the bottomless pit. Now a disembodied spirit to someday ascend out of the bottomless pit to possess the end times beast king.

You lost me here. So, even though you had said before that the beast of Revelation 17 is Satan, now you're saying that not every reference to the beast in Revelation 17 is a reference to Satan? Do you have any idea how confusing your view is? It's almost impossible to make any sense of it.

The second part of Revelation 17:8 is the connection that Satan will have with the end times beast king, who Satan will give his power to.

What does this mean? Please try to communicate more clearly. You're being far too vague. Who exactly is it that you're saying is the beast that will ascend out of the bottomless pit? You're saying some nameless dead serpent that is now a disembodied spirit? You understand that the serpent was Satan, don't you?

Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

The people of the world will witness king 7 killed and brought back to life as the beast king, king 8. They will be dumbfounded to witness it happen.

I'm dumbfounded that you believe in that.

 

[Douggg]

So, why do Premils like you focus on 1 Peter 5:8 and not 1 Peter 5:9 then?

Because Satan is totally evil and intents to destroy anyone he can. We as Christians need to be aware of that.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

Because Satan is totally evil and intents to destroy anyone he can. We as Christians need to be aware of that.

Of course we should be aware of that, but that wasn't the question (whether or not we should be aware of that). The question is why Premils focus far more on 1 Peter 5:8 than 1 Peter 5:9. What is your answer to THAT question? Are you saying we should focus more on Satan being evil and trying to destroy anyone he can than the fact that all we need to do is submit to God and resist Satan and he has to then flee from us?

 

[Douggg]

You lost me here. So, even though you had said before that the beast of Revelation 17 is Satan, now you're saying that not every reference to the beast in Revelation 17 is a reference to Satan? Do you have any idea how confusing your view is? It's almost impossible to make any sense of it.

Spiritual Jew, you are not communicating as well as you should.

I did not say the beast of Revelation 17 is Satan. I said that the Scarlet colored beast is Satan.

King 8 in Revelation 17:11 is not called a Scarlet colored beast - and thus is not Satan..

Three entities in Revelation 17 are called the beast. They are...

1. the Scarlet colored beast - Satan
2. the beast in the bottomless pit - the garden of eden serpent beast
3. the eighth king beast - the end times beast king

The mystery about Satan is that he is associated with 2. and 3.

 

[Douggg]

Of course we should be aware of that, but that wasn't the question (whether or not we should be aware of that). The question is why Premils focus far more on 1 Peter 5:8 than 1 Peter 5:9. What is your answer to THAT question? Are you saying we should focus more on Satan being evil and trying to destroy anyone he can than the fact that all we need to do is submit to God and resist Satan and he has to then flee from us?

I am saying first a person has to be aware of the problem before a solution can be applied.

 

[TribulationSigns]

Again, the beast is Satan personify! Not a separate entity. The beast is the body of Satan which are unsaved people to who Satan gave his seat and power to do his will. His people! Just like we, Chosen Elect, are the body of Christ.

I did not say the beast of Revelation 17 is Satan.

The beast "IS" still Satan.

I said that the Scarlet colored beast is Satan.

On this one, you are correct!

King 8 in Revelation 17:11 is not called a Scarlet colored beast - and thus is not Satan..

False!

Rev 17:11
(11) And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

This beast is still Satan.

Three entities in Revelation 17 are called the beast. They are...

Entities? No. They are all pointing to Satan.

1. the Scarlet colored beast - Satan

Good job.

2. the beast in the bottomless pit - the garden of eden serpent beast

Huh? Did you read what God says about who he is?

Rev 20:2-3
(2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
(3) And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

He is not "garden of eden serpent beast" that you made up. He "IS" Satan, that old serpent! And no, he was not thrown in the bottomless pit in the beginning or in the future before 1,000 years. He fell at the Cross when Christ defeated him. Read Revelation 12 yourself.

3. the eighth king beast - the end times beast king

No. The eighth is STILL Satan. This is the same beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven.

This is the little horn that the Lord spoke of that speaks of Satan's POWER for a SHORT SEASON as the eighth but is of the seven! So, sorry, no Superman for you.

The mystery about Satan is that he is associated with 2. and 3.

Did God mention THIS mystery in the Bible? No, it is your own speculation that you claimed to be a "mystery" because you want people to believe your "beast-little horn-man" theory.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

Spiritual Jew, you are not communicating as well as you should.

If I'm not communicating as well as I should, then you definitely are not.

And let me tell you something. It's far more difficult for me to try to follow what you're saying than vice versa because I believe every reference to "the beast" or "scarlet colored beast" is to the same entity. You, on the other hand, differentiate between all the references to the beast, which is very difficult to follow.

I did not say the beast of Revelation 17 is Satan. I said that the Scarlet colored beast is Satan.

LOL!!! Douggg, you are unbelievable. I can barely believe that you are for real. You have beliefs that likely no one else in the world has. How does that happen?

Follow the flow of what is said in Revelation 17 up to verse 8, which is the beast that I was talking about that will ascend from the bottomless pit.

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: 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, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Do you see here in verse 7 where the angel told John that he would tell him "the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns"? Which beast was the angel talking about? Obviously, the scarlet colored beast that was referenced in verse 3. Agree? And then the angel said about THAT beast (the scarlet colored beast with seven heads and ten horns) that it "was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit". So, how can you try to say that the beast of Revelation 17:8 that will ascend out of the bottomless pit is not the same as the scarlet colored beast? It most definitely is! The angel talking to John said so! You're not being honest with the scripture here, Douggg.

King 8 in Revelation 17:11 is not called a Scarlet colored beast - and thus is not Satan..

The angel said that beast is the one that John had previously seen that was carrying the woman, which was the scarlet colored beast. You are ignoring the context of these verses.

Three entities in Revelation 17 are called the beast. They are...

1. the Scarlet colored beast - Satan
2. the beast in the bottomless pit - the garden of eden serpent beast
3. the eight king beast - the end times beast king

The mystery about Satan is that he is associated with 2. and 3.

This is completely wrong and something that someone could only dream up in their imagination. It's not indicated in the text itself at all. The angel speaking to John very specifically indicated that the beast in the bottomless pit was the beast that he previously saw that was carrying the woman who sat on many waters and that was the scarlet colored beast. There is no basis whatsoever for differentiating between the scarlet colored beast and the beast referenced in Revelation 17:8-11. You are ignoring the fact that the angel speaking to John indicated that the beast of Revelation 17:8-11 is the same beast referenced earlier in verse 3. Also, there is no basis for differentiating between the beast who is in the bottomless pit and will ascend from it and the beast referenced in verse 11 because it says "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.". Who is the beast that was, and is not"? That is the same beast as the one referenced in Revelation 17:8 that would one day come out of the bottomless pit.

Revelation 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

John didn't reference two beasts with each being a beast "that was, and is not". He was referring to the same beast he had just referenced here:

Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:

That beast, which, according to the angel, is the same as the scarlet colored beast of verse 3, "shall ascend out of the bottomless pit". So, if you're saying the scarlet colored beast is Satan then you'd have to conclude that Satan is now in the bottomless pit because that is what Revelation 17:8 says about the scarlet colored beast. Just because its scarlet color isn't referenced in Revelation 17:8-11 doesn't mean that passage is talking about a different beast. It's scarlet color doesn't need to be referenced every time it is referenced. That would be like saying that the references to the dragon can only be referring to Satan when they reference the red dragon, like it does in Revelation 12:3, which obviously would be ridiculous since we know every reference to "the dragon" is to Satan.

 

[Douggg]

He is not "garden of eden serpent beast" that you made up. He "IS" Satan, that old serpent! And no, he was not thrown in the bottomless pit in the beginning or in the future before 1,000 years. He fell at the Cross when Christ defeated him. Read Revelation 12 yourself.

Satan is called that old serpent - because in the garden of Eden, Satan spoke through the serpent beast to get man to sin.

 

[Douggg]

Do you see here in verse 7 where the angel told John that he would tell him "the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns"? Which beast was the angel talking about? Obviously, the scarlet colored beast that was referenced in verse 3. Agree?

Yes.

And then the angel said about THAT beast (the scarlet colored beast with seven heads and ten horns) that it "was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit".

That is where you have misunderstood. Revelation 17:8 is about the mystery of the scarlet colored beast. Not that the scarlet colored beast himself "was, is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit". It is talking about the relationship between the scarlet colored beast and the beast now in the bottomless pit - to some day ascend out of the bottomless pit.

Also, there is no basis for differentiating between the beast who is in the bottomless pit and will ascend from it and the beast referenced in verse 11 because it says "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.". Who is the beast that was, and is not"? That is the same beast as the one referenced in Revelation 17:8 that would one day come out of the bottomless pit.

No, the beast king, king 8, is not the beast in the bottomless pit. The beast in bottomless pit, was in the bottomless pit at the time of king 6, the "one is" king.

What you are not getting is that in Revelation 17:8, Satan has had a relationship with the beast in the bottomless pit. That beast, the garden of eden serpent beast, has been there for a long long time.

The other relationship in Revelation 17:8 that Satan has will be with another entity called the beast - the beast king - king 8 of verse 11. That king is an end times king, first as king 7, then he is killed, then comes back to life as king 8, the beast king - who Satan will give his power to.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

Satan is called that old serpent - because in the garden of Eden, Satan spoke through the serpent beast to get man to sin.

No, Satan is called that old serpent because he was that old serpent. Do you not recognize what this passage is saying:

Genesis 3:14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

Do you not know that God was prophesying here about the fact that His Son, the Messiah, would defeat Satan one day with His death and resurrection? Satan merely struck Christ's heel by having him killed, but Jesus crushed Satan's head, metaphorically speaking. His death on the cross was a death blow to Satan because of what resulted from it, as passages like these indicate:

Hebrews 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

1 John 3:8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

 

[Douggg]

Did God mention THIS mystery in the Bible? No, it is your own speculation that you claimed to be a "mystery" because you want people to believe your "beast-little horn-man" theory.

The evolution of the little horn person is....

Starts as the little horn, king 7 > then becomes the prince who shall come > then becomes the Antichrist > the becomes the revealed man of sin > then is killed > then comes back to life > becoming the beast king, king 8

little horn, king 7 - leader of the EU ten kings
the Antichrist - anointed the King of Israel, coming in his own name
beast king, king 8 - dictator of the EU
