and of the beast that carrieth her,

which hath the seven heads and ten horns…

And here is the mind which hath wisdom.

The seven heads are seven mountains,

on which the woman sitteth.

And there are seven kings:

five are fallen, and one is,

and the other is not yet come…”

Revelation 17:7, 9, 10

SATAN’S KINGDOM

.

When Satan deceived Mankind, God allowed him to become the ruler of this lost and rebellious world.

.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 calls him, “the god of this world”!

.

https://theheavensdeclare.net/flood-waters-of-satan/Three times in the Gospel of John, Satan is referred to as, The prince of this world”. (John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11)

.

Ephesians 2:2 refers to Satan as “The Prince of the Power of the Air”.

.

But in these last days, Satan is coming as “the False Prophet”, spoken of in Revelation 13.

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fantasy_Kingdom_Front_Gate_Photo.pngAnd in his role as the False Prophet in the past few centuries, he has put a “happy face” on much of this wicked world, thus deceiving many of the naive and blinded multitudes into thinking that this ‘theme-park-like’ world is a pretty nice place, for the most part…and a lot of fun!

6TH & 7TH HEAD RISE UP

.

Now, these daily devotionals place a great amount of emphasis on the 6th head of Antichrist which has to do with atheism and humanism, with all their various side-kick ideologies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sigmund_Freud_LIFE.jpgEvolution, Socialism, Psychiatry, Psychology, Humanitarianism, and other aspects and devices and institutions which are used to indoctrinate people into these ideologies of Satan’s kingdom.

.

And when the 5th head (the apostate churches of Europe for 1260 years) received its deadly wound by God’s sword, the Bible, then appeared the 6th head (atheism, etc….).

Yes, just when that Romish apostate church (the 5th head) was stabbed by “the sword” (God’s Word, the “sword of the Spirit” Ephesians 6:17), then appeared Humanism (the 6th head) and its companion ideologies.

.

But maybe the 7th head of the Antichrist Beast should now be discussed. Yes, this Antichrist Beast has 7 heads.

APOSTATE PROTESTANTISM: THE 7TH HEAD

.

And along with the 6th head, the 7th head also began to rise up out of the earth at that same time period.

.

And just what was the 7th head of this Antichrist Beast?

.

Apostate Protestantism! Idolatrous and adulterous Protestantism.

.

Yes, when persecution by the European churches ceased, Protestantism began to grow sleepy-eyed and lethargic, and progressively apostate.

2ND BEAST EMERGES FROM 1ST

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Papessa_tiara.jpg

.

Now here is a somewhat difficult concept.

.

As we know, there were two beasts of Revelation, Chapter 13. The first beast being the Romish church, the 5th head of the Antichrist Beast which rose up out of the sea (the sea of nations).

.False Prophet

But there was a second beast, the False Prophet, which rose up from the earth. This second beast had two horns like a lamb, yet spoke as a dragon.

.

But here’s the difficult part: You see, those two horns of this False Prophet are comprised of the 6th and 7th head of the first beast. And so, the 2nd beast is really an integral part of the 1st beast.

.

Think of it as a deviant virus which splits away from its “mother virus”.

.

And as already mentioned, the 1st beast rose up from the sea (the sea of nations). But since this 2nd beast, the False Prophet, rose up out of the earth (symbolizing the industrial age and the earthy sins of the flesh), its behavior was very much different than the behavior of the 1st beast.

SATAN’S NEW MODUS-OPERANDI

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Avvakum_by_Myasoyedov.jpeg

.

Yes, this 2nd beast, the False Prophet, rose up out of the earth. And its behavior was very much different than the behavior of the 1st beast.

.

You see, the first beast brought war and famine and scarcity, and oppression upon Europe. And many who loved the Bible were tortured, banished, imprisoned and murdered. And Satan attempted to wipe out the Bible during these centuries.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Santo_Domingo_y_los_albigenses-detalle.jpg

But this 2nd beast exploited the riches from the earth to create a cornucopian/decadent super-society.  

.

And instead of scarcity, this 2nd beast brought opulence, excess, materialism, hedonism, conservatism, and false miracles!

.

Like over-feeding mice until they explode! No longer did he need to torture, banish, imprison, and kill. Opulence is a much more effective weapon to destroy God’s people!

.

Bibles were now everywhere, but most Christians were too busy in the world to seriously study them each day!

.

Now the 6th head, Humanism (or Secularism), began in Europe, but greatly rose to power in the USA.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mall_culture_jakarta75.jpg

.

But also, the 7th head, apostate Protestantism, also rose to power in the USA (Of course, these two heads of Antichrist, Humanism & Apostate Protestantism, eventually spread their tentacles in every direction around the globe.)

.

Now if the reader wants to more deeply explore all this, there are a number of articles on this website specifically devoted to this subject.

THE CHURCH APOSTATE

.

But today, only the 7th head of Antichrist will be looked at.

.companys-coming - revised

And just why are the evangelical churches considered to be the 7th head of Antichrist?

.

Well, all of a sudden, persecution stopped, and the world was now beginning to embrace the Church of God. And that was the crux of the problem!

.

Yes, whenever the world is our friend, you know that something’s wrong! Listen to the Wise Man… “the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:6

.

And so, instead of coming at us with swords and spears, the world now began to come at Christians with spatulas and meat forks to invite them over for a barbecue!

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3 

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
