Who is the Beast to come in the End Time?



John is told in Rev. 17-10-12, "They are seven kings (representing 7 kingdoms) five have fallen (the previous 5 kingdoms) one is (at that time Rome) the other (the 7th) has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. And the beast which was ( Satan's kingdom) and is not, even he is the eighth, and he is of the seven---." So we see that when the final 7th kingdom appears, "even he is the eighth kingdom", That being made up of Satan's kingdom also. This is seen in Revelation chapter 13, the beast of the sea and the beast of the earth. The political kingdom from the sea being the 7th kingdom, and the spiritual or church kingdom, the beast of the earth being the 8th kingdom, both given authority to rule by Satan called the dragon. "And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but (rather) they receive "authority" as kings with the beast (as "leaders" of the 7th beast kingdom) for one hour". The leaders of this kingdom are called "Presidents", and when "inaugurated in office", is why the term "one hour" is used here. Where then they become the President or "king" given "authority" to rule "with the beast." To rule "with the beast" for they do not have "absolute rule" of this kingdom.

Daniel tells us that Satan's kingdom comes from these ten horns. Dan. 7-7-8, "---there came up among them (from the ten horns-the 10 kings) 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 a man, and a mouth speaking great things." Satan's anti-christ kingdom, the 8th, coming from within the ten horns (Presidents) and 7th kingdom, called the "beast of the earth." Using the beast to do and speak great and blasphemous things against God Almighty.

Several related verses in the book of Revelation clearly indicate that the ten horns seen in Daniel's vision is the same ten-horned beast seen in Revelation. "And he (the dragon) stood on the sand of the seashore. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea (worldwide sea of peoples) having ten horns (10 kings given authority to rule in this beast) and seven heads (the previous 6 and this 7th kingdom) and on his horns were ten diadems (symbolic of the 10 kings "crowned" giving them authority) and on his heads (kingdoms) were blasphemous names (names of these 7 kingdoms past and present)---.And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain (the 6th head, the Roman Empire where Satan received his mortal wound through Christ), and (or but) his fatal wound was healed (through the beast of the sea and earth), And the whole world was amazed and followed after the beast---, (therefore) it was given him (God's judgment) to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him" ( Rev. 13-1,3,7-8).

The significance of these passages describing the final beast empire of Satan's, is that it would be made up of all ancestries of peoples "of the seed of men" throughout the world. When looking to history, we see only one kingdom that fits what the context of prophecy is speaking of. One kingdom that would come to birth that would freely allow and except and take into their kingdom the table of nations seen in Genesis chapter 10, all ancestral peoples of the world. One kingdom made of iron, yet mixed with clay-"the seed of men"--. History shows the only kingdom fitting this description is the United States of America. This truth is engraved on a tablet within the pedestal on which the Statue of Liberty stands. It reads in part; "Keep (your) ancient lands, your storied pomp!" Cries she with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore (your lands). Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

These past six kingdoms up to the time of Christ's ministry were; Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. And it is noted that the 7th and 8th kingdom is said to be the beast of the sea and the beast of the earth. The political and religious makeup that makes up this final beast kingdom in the end time. What now needs to be looked into is the ten horns (President-kings) seen in this final kingdom prophecied. For prophecy reveals that "after" these ten horns have come forth and been "crowned" (inaugarated), Satan comes forth and gives all his authority to the beast of the earth and the beast of the sea to fulfill what our Lord prophecied.

In Dan. 7-23-24, Daniel is given the interpretation of the vision concerning this fourth beast with the ten horns, and the other horn that would come forth from them. He was told that this kingdom would be different from all the other kingdoms and shall devour, and rule the whole earth. "And the ten horns "out of this kingdom" (are) "ten kings" (that) shall arise; and another shall rise after them; and he (Satan's beast kingdom) shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings" (Dan. 7-24). We see that the ten horns come out from this final kingdom, which we know as being the "7th kingdom." We also know the horns are "kings," not "kingdoms," Kings given authority to rule over this kingdom (Rev. 17-12). In this kingdom they are called "Presidents", who have been given authority to rule this kingdom. After these ten horns or kings arise and have been "crowned" to rule, another horn or king shall arise after them; but "different" than these other kings. This horn or king is Satan, the dragon who gives all authority to this beast kingdom. At that time, it becomes the beast in its final form, as some have come to express it. In any case, it has then become an anti-christ kingdom, who rules over the world, and whom the world follows (Rev. 13-3-4). And he shall subdue three kings. The word "subdue" is to mean "to bring under one's power, to bring under one's control."

This is how this horn-king Satan accomplishes this, through this beast kingdom that he gives full authority too. The subduing of these three kings are seen and accomplished through the "land for peace covenant called the Oslo Accord" signed on Sept. 13,1993. Phase two of that Accord was signed on Sept. 28,1995. Attending the signing of the "Phase two Accord" were President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan. These two countries and kings had made peace with Israel. Yitzhak Rabin of Israel makes the 3rd country and king. These are the three horns or kings that were to be "subdued" into this "land for peace covenant." By the horn-king Satan using the beast kingdom to try and destroy God's land covenant promise given Israel, and Israel herself as a nation.

In Rev. 12-3-4 John sees a great wonder in heaven. "A great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.---and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." Most agree that the "woman" spoken of here, represents "Israel," and the "child" referred to here is the "Christ-child" seen in Rev. 12-5. The "child was caught up unto God, and (to) his throne." After Christ was "caught up unto God", history tells us that the woman-Israel was scattered throughout the world. This can be seen in verse 6. "The woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness (countries) where she hath (after the dispersion) "a place prepared of God,---." After their dispersion into this "wilderness", they would be brought back to "a place prepared of God", the land of their forefathers in Palestine and be made a nation again when that time would come. But here at this time, the dragon is seen as having "seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."

From this context we see at this time he has "seven heads." To indicate the 7th kingdom now exists, and Satan rules "in part" over it. We know this because we see these seven heads are "crowned" representing ruler-ship and authority as kingdoms. But here, not so with the ten horns, for here they are not crowned as yet. We only see the ten horns "crowned" in Rev. 13-1, where he horn-king Satan is about to give all authority to the beast whose ten horns have now been "crowned." But here in Rev. 12-3, he has only limited power and stands before the woman (Israel) who is "ready to be delivered" from her worldwide dispersion, so that he Satan,  can devour the child, the nation's birth, as soon as it is born, figuratively speaking. History reveals the truth of this prophecy. No sooner was Israel delivered and gave birth in 1948 did Satan try to devour the "child" (Israel) using the Arab nations to accomplish it, but limited in power, he failed. Continuing with verse 6, the "fleeing in the wilderness" before her birth, "they (wilderness-world) should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." This anticipates or looks forward to the time when after she's a nation again, she would be protected in that time from the "face of the serpent." This is seen in Rev. 12-13-17, where after the war in heaven Satan has now been cast to the earth, where the child-Israel had been given birth as a nation. "He (the dragon) persecuted the woman which brought forth the man-child (Christ). And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle (God's protection using the U.S. to help give her birth) that she might fly into the wilderness, (then), into her place (God's promise, her birth as a nation), where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (three and a half yrs.), from the face of the serpent." (Rev. 12-13-14).

We see during this time "The serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman." A figure of speech to mean using his followers to persecute and attack her. "That he might cause her to be carried away of the flood", that she might be destroyed in this way. But he fails for "the earth (peoples) helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood", peoples preventing it from happening; "which the dragon cast out of his mouth."And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (that remnant) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ "(Rev. 12-15-17). These are the saints in the body of Christ.

These verses show us at that time the dragon only had limited power, for his ten horns had yet to be crowned. We see that meanwhile he begins to make war with all those who believe in God and Jesus Christ, the saints in the body of Christ. To bring about the "falling away" or apostasy prophesied to come in the end time.

It was noted, that these ten horns or kings would come from this final 7th kingdom as being the U.S.A. When looking to history, we see that shortly before and to the time that Israel was given birth as a nation, the 1st horn or king in office was President Harry Truman (1945-1953). Throughout scripture kingdoms, kings and nations are only mentioned when they come into contact with Israel, the Jews, its land and its history. This is why we see the beast having ten horns on its head, and not more or less. For these are they that would come in contact with Israel, the Jews, its land and its history when they would become a nation again. So even though this nation, the U.S. has had many Presidents before Harry Truman, they would not be recorded in scripture as "horns" on the beast's head. Only those "horns" Presidents seen there on the beast's head would be recorded, and they are seen as being "10 horns" or Presidents.

Because of Harry Truman's policies concerning the state of the Jewish people, by God's will, became the greatest reason why Israel came to birth. When we look to the history and chronology of the Presidents in office, beginning with President Truman, at the time when Israel was given birth as a nation, we would see "the 10 crowned horns" on the beast's head. Where then he would come forth in his final form to fulfill the prophecy seen in Revelation chapter 13.

The chronology of the ten horns or Presidents from the time of Israel's birth.

1.Harry Truman, 1945-1953. 2. Dwight Eisenhower, 1953-1961. 3. John Kennedy, 1961-1963. 4.Lyndon Johnson, 1963-1969. 5. Richard Nixon, 1969-1974. 6. Gerald Ford, 1974-1977. 7. Jimmy Carter, 1977-1981. 8. Ronald Reagan, 1981-1989. 9. George Bush, 1989-1993. 10. Bill Clinton, 1st term, 1993-1997. Second term, 1997-January 2001.

Looking to this chronology, we see the ten horns or kings that "must be crowned" before Satan can come forth and give authority to the beast seen in Rev. 13-1 to fulfill the prophecy seen throughout Revelation. "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and (they) to be of one mind and give their kingdom unto the beast (that would come forth in Rev. 13-1 in its final form), until the word of God shall be fulfilled."

We see here that once the ten horns, or the tenth horn king has been "crowned", Satan would then be able to come forth to fulfill the prophecy. And we have noted here above that the 10th horn or king that would come from this kingdom, since the birth of the woman Israel was Bill Clinton, inaugurated in January of 1993, his first term in office.

So we see the prophecy reveals that when this final beast kingdom comes in its final form seen in Rev. 13-1, Satan the dragon would then give the beast "his power, throne, and great authority." This would in turn begin that phase of the Lord's end time prophecy. The prophecy also reveals that these 10 horns or kings come out of and within this 7th kingdom, and not from a 10 nation kingdom alliance taught by many that would give their allegiance to the beast. The prophecy states in Rev. 13-4-8 and here in Dan 7-25, it is during this time he subdues three kings. "And he shall speak (blasphemous) words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think (try) to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand "until" a time and times and the dividing of time."

The word "until" is important to understand here, for the word means "up too, as far as, up to that time." Up to that time given him and no further. So the meaning of this verse is that "this power" to be given him is limited in time to what the context reveals. After that, that particular power given him, will begin to wane and be taken away. For "The judgment (court) shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion (power, rule, and authority), to consume and to destroy it unto the end" (Dan. 7-7-12). So we see from these verses that once he's given this power to fulfill what is given him for 42 months, his power would then begin to be taken away, but not the end of the prophecy fulfillment itself. This time of the prophecy is seen in Dan. 9-27, in the midst of this "seven," he shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make (it) desolate even until the consummation, and that determined ( God's judgments) shall be poured upon the desolate."

In Revelation chapter 18, the mysterious beast kingdom seen there called "Babylon" where "no man might buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name, which is man's number 666 is noted by us as being the United States. We the "People"-letters-6, of the "United"-letters-6, "States"-letters-6. This is the mark, the name and the number of the beast. The word "mark" given here, is to mean a brand, stamp or sign of some kind, " where no man could buy or sell, lest he receive the mark---." This mark or stamp in order to buy or sell in this kingdom is what is called U.S. currency, and it is "man's number, mark and name of the beast. Made up from the people of the United States government. The stamp of approval in order to buy or sell, which has the name of the beast on all its currency. Thus refusing to take the "mark of the beast", one could neither buy nor sell.

It has been noted that once the 10th horn or king was crowned, the dragon would come forth using the beast of the sea and the beast of the earth, the false prophet (apostasized church) to fulfill the prophecy. And it is seen that this 10th horn to be crowned since Israel became a nation in 1948 was Bill Clinton, inaugurated in January of 1993. History goes on to tell us that two days after Clinton's inauguration, he issued executive orders overturning restrictions on abortion. Lifted the ban on fetal tissue used in medical research. Ordered a review on RU-486, a French made abortion pill. Ended a ban on abortions in U.S. military hospitals. Ended a ban barring homosexuals from enlisting or being discharged if found to be gay.

Shortly after that time on Sept. 13,1993, the "land for peace covenant, called the Oslo Accord", concerning the prophecy of Israel, was signed by the PLO and Israel in Washington. Two of the three kings who would be subdued presided. President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Yitzhak Rabin, the signer to that covenant. Shortly thereafter, on July 25,1994, King Hussein of Jordan, Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and President Clinton of the U.S. signed on the White House lawn, a declaration that ended an official state of war between Israel and Jordan. On Oct. 26,1994, the formal peace treaty with Jordan was signed on the Israeli-Jordanian border near Aqaba and Eilat. It is at this time we see that three kings have been "subdued" into this "land for peace covenant called the Oslo Accord," since the "crowning of the 10th horn." Shortly thereafter, all three were present when "phase two" of the Oslo Accord was signed in Washington on Sept. 28, 1995.

"And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast; and they worshiped the beast saying, "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue (until) forty two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle (his dwelling place), and them that dwell in heaven." And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, (that is) whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear." ( Rev. 13-4-9).

So we have seen here that since Israel's birth in 1948, the Lord prophesied that from that time the prophecy's fulfillment of the coming beast seen in Rev. 13-1 where the beast would have seven heads and "ten crowned horns" would then have come forth; and he would subdue three kings. And in that fulfillment it would bring about the breaking of the Lord's Holy Word. The breaking of the Lord's Land Covenant promise given the Jews nearly 3500 years ago. But as he swore to himself; "Heaven and earth would disappear before his Holy Word given to Israel and his saints be broken by any power that exists."
