If anyone feels inclined, I invite your thoughts on what this might mean. The pattern of numbers in Revelation exactly match the pattern written in John's Gospel chapter 4. in the dialogue between the Woman and Jesus. The pattern as written in the book of Revelation is below.
Rev 17 9-19
9 “This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; also, they are seven kings, 10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
The words in red match the story of the Samaritan woman and Jesus. Notice how when they end the story it seems to begin the beasts story. "as for the beast" as if what was written before wasn't the beast. The Samaritan woman and Jesus in the Gospel is below
John 4 16-19
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
In the Samaritan woman's story so far there is the five who have fallen and the one that is now.
Also note that the History of Samaria is also a pattern of the same history as the woman. Samaria had five pagan nations invade them in their history. Each invasion set up their own Pagan king and pagan religious practices. The pagan king at the time Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman was the sixth. This is most likely why Jesus calls her 'Woman'. She is Samaria.
Rev 17 9-19
9 “This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; also, they are seven kings, 10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come;
Notice the story in John's Gospel describes a scene that is exact to Revelation. The Samaritan woman is waiting for a messiah "yet to come" And Jesus tells her that He is the one she waits for. She was waiting for a Messiah and Jesus told her he is the Messiah she has been waiting for. That would make Jesus the seventh King. Read that part of the story below.
John 4 25
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”
Rev 17 10
when he comes, he must remain only a little while.
Jesus did just that. He stayed a short while. After the woman and 'those who believed because she believed' accepted Jesus as their Savior they asked Him to stay but He only stayed two days.
John 4, 39-40
39 Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I have ever done.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.
Jesus was going to the cross. For some the cross is a stumbling block and they see nothing more than a man going to his destruction. Continue below.
Rev 17 11
11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.
For unbelievers Jesus is the beast. For believers the antichrist is in truth the beast. Think of the two witnesses and how the unbelievers respond. The two witnesses are beasts to the unbelievers. They rejoice when the two witnesses lay dead in the streets.
The seventh king is antichrist the imitator of Jesus, but also Jesus who, for the woman at the well, was yet to come, but when He did come, He stayed a short while, He was going to His cross and what would seem like destruction to unbelievers. For antichrist as seventh king, is wounded and comes back to go to his destruction. But Jesus is the eighth in the resurrection and one of the seven to the new believers at the well. Note, for antichrist as the eighth king goes to his destruction. For Jesus, as the seventh king goes to the cross (destruction)and is the eighth that is the True resurrection for those who believed in Him at the well. Please correct me if this is wrong.
Has anyone noticed this before? Is there any previous commentary?
It seems the pattern in John's Gospel is repeated in John's Revelation and a clue to the antichrist's deception as the messiah?
Does this add any meaning to the current interpretations of the Antichrist?
