Rev 12: 3 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.
Revelation 13:1 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.
The Dragon in Rev 12 was crowned on 7 heads whereas the beast in Rev 13 was crowned on his 10 horns
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
Crown symbolizes RULE. Rev 12 shows the rule of the Dragon (Satan) through his 7 beastly kingdoms whereas the Rev 13 shows the final 8th beast RULING & carrying all the abominations of the previous 7 beastly kingdoms.
John is given the description of the beast he saw coming up out of the bottomless pit. To understand the symbolism of Satan being bound in the bottomless pit and his coming out which is synonymous with the eighth beast coming out of the bottomless pit please refer to my study on this blog 'The Binding of Satan and his Loosing'

Re 17:3 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.
Re 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.
Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour.13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast
TEN kings which had no rule are ruling with the beast for one hour showing off some godliness in hating the whore (Mystery Babylon) but actually being deceived by being one with the beast. These shall give their power and strength unto the beast. What does this mean?
The man of sin is the lawless man who is deceived by the whore and is fornicating in following false doctrines from Satan and oppose all those who hold on to the true doctrines of the Messiah and thinks that by persecuting (through scoffing and mocking) those who hold on to true doctrines they are doing Alahim service and in doing this they are trying to show they hate the whore but in deception are actually drinking the wine of her fornication.
Alahim's word gives a lot of examples of persecution the people of Alahim had to go through from their so called BROTHERS
Genesis 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the Alahim of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
These are the words of Laban to Jacob. Laban was his father in law and of his own brethren
Alahim restrained this wickedness and evil plot of Jacobs brethren against him but towards the end these so called brethren give their strength unto the 8th beast. You may refer to my study on this blog called Scoffers.
Alahim restrained this wickedness and evil plot of Jacobs brethren against him but towards the end these so called brethren give their strength unto the 8th beast. You may refer to my study on this blog called Scoffers.
Alahims promise is recited by Paul in Romans 9:11-12 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of Alahim according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) [12] It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
The elder shall serve the younger but because of Jacobs ( Israel) sin the elder is now ruling
The elder shall serve the younger but because of Jacobs ( Israel) sin the elder is now ruling
Genesis 25:23 And the Yahuah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Mt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Haggai 2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
The riders shall come down by the sword of his BROTHER. The TWO NATIONS have always been at war with each other.
Amos 1:11 Thus saith the Yahuah ; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Edom is Esau. Alahim will avenge his children.Israels enemies were of his own household.As long as they obeyed Alahim they were under Alahims protection.The kings giving power and strength unto the beast is a picture of Israel's brethren ruling while Israel is on a flight from his enemies of his own household.
Ezekiel 38:21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Yahuah Alahim : every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Jeremiah 9:4-5 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. [5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Look at Isaacs prophecy concerning Esau
Genesis 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
If one understands prophecy then you would see the fulfillment of it in that Esau the lawless man is in dominion now and in this way the strength is given to the beast. The ten horns have the CROWN-ONE HOUR with the BEAST.
Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
The elder brother receives POWER as KINGS ONE HOUR WITH THE BEAST.
Jeremiah 25:15-27 For thus saith the Yahuah Alahim of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. [16] And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. [17] Then took I the cup at the Yahuah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Yahuah had sent me: [18] To wit , Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; [19] Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; [20] And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, [21] Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, [22] And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, [23] Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, [24] And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, [25] And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, [26] And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.[27] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
Revelation 17:4 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:
Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Jeremiah 25 the verses I quoted above shows Alahim makes all to drink the cup of Mystery Babylon. This cup of Mystery Babylon is drunk by Jerusalem to her brothers Moab, Ammon (Moab and Ammon were children of Lot. The daughters of Lot made their father drink and slept with him to give birth to Moab and Ammon), Arabia (Ishmael) Edom (Esau) etc to all the kingdoms of the beasts. ALL have drunk the wine of the WHORE.
1 Kings 13:1-3 And, behold, there came a man of Alahim out of Judah by the word of the Yahuah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. [2] And he cried against the altar in the word of the Yahuah , and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Yahuah ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. [3] And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Yahuah hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
Messiah is the one who builds the tabernacle of David which fell in the days of Solomon because Solomon built high places for his wives to please them. Because of his mercy to David Alahim did not rend the kingdom in the days of Solomon but in the days of his son Rehoboam when Alahim allowed Jeroboam to snatch the house of Israel away from him and rule as king of Israel.
Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Jeroboam was an abominable king and tried to DISTORT the pattern of Alahim. He did this by setting up 2 calves in name of Alahim saying these are the gods that brought you out of the land of Egypt and one he placed at Bethel ( house of Alahim) and one in Dan( the tribe which set up false priest hood and tried to distort Alahim's pattern). To understand this better please refer to my study 'Guarding the Pattern' on this blog.
1 Kings 12:28-30 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.[29] And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan. [30] And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
1Ki 12:31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
Moreover Jeroboam also followed what Dan did. He set up priests of the lowest of the people which were not the sons of Levi. Another distortion just as it is said of Satan in Ezekiel 28 'sealest up the sum' which when translated means 'distorts the pattern'
Jerusalem was the place to go to worship and Levites were to be the priests and this was the PATTERN but the pattern was distorted. The brethren of Jacob themselves were responsible for this but Alahim kept preserving the line of David because Alahim promised him that the Messiah would come from his seed.
Pr 29:2 ¶ When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Pr 29:16 ¶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
The transgressors will come to the full and these transgressors will be of our own brethen. Those whom we walked to the house of Alahim.
Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
The beastly rule is a reflection of those who understand dark sentences (Alahim's law) and these are the BRETHREN who once we took sweet counsel together and spiritually walked to the house of Alahim. These are the TRANSGRESSORS come to the FULL.
Ps 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of Alahim in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 ¶ As for me, I will call upon Alahim; and the YAHUAH shall save me.
Ps 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O YAHUAH, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
1Jo 2:18 ¶ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Alahim paints GT picture in the rules of wicked kings influenced by beast. We read in
1 Kings 13:1-3 Alahim sends a prophet to prophesy against the altar at Bethel. The name of the prophet is not mentioned but we see this prophet who spoke in the name of the Yahuah being deceived by his own BROTHER a fellow prophet who spoke lies to him causing his death. Before we look at this let's look at the altar at BETHEL. This cry was against the altar in Bethel. Bethel was the same place where Jacob dreamed of the ladder to heaven. Messiah the pattern
Angels of Alahim ascending and descending on Son of Man (You may refer to my study 'Cherubs guarding the Pattern' on this blog). This abominable altar tried to distort Alahims pattern.It was rent by Messiah when he died and measured all those who were appointed to salvation.
The man of Alahim who prophesied against the altar at Bethel came to pass in the days of Josiah the righteous king
2Ki 23:13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the YAHUAH which the man of Alahim proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
You may refer to the prophesy of the man of Alahim as stated in 1 Kings 3 once again.
1 Kings 13:1-3 And, behold, there came a man of Alahim out of Judah by the word of the Yahuah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. [2] And he cried against the altar in the word of the Yahuah , and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Yahuah ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. [3] And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Yahuah hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
Josiah means Yahuahh heals. This Josiah was a type of Messiah and the prophecy spiritually finds it fulfillment when Messiah builds the tabernacle of David which was fallen down.
Amos 7:8-13 And the Yahuah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Yahuah, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: [9] And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. [10] Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. [11] For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. [12] Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: [13] But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
Plumb line is measuring line of Messiah and Alahim tells that he will lay waste the high places of desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel waste when he sets the measuring line. Amaziah priest of Bethel tells him not to prophesy in Bethel but to go to Judah. They can't stand the truth from Alahim's word.
Now coming back to the prophet sent by Alahim who prophesied against the altar at Bethel.
This prophet was charged by Alahim not to eat or drink anything at the place where Jeroboam's kingdom was
1Ki 13:7 And the king said unto the man of Alahim, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
8 And the man of Alahim said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the YAHUAH, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
He went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel.
1Ki 13:10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
There was living in Bethel an old prophet. Was this prophet a man of Alahim? If he was, what was he doing at Bethel where the abominable altar stood? No prophet of Alahim would dwell in an abominable place. Moreover with the instruction Alahim gave this prophet who came to prophesy against the altar of Bethel it is evident that Alahim abhorred this place and didn't want his prophet to even eat and drink at this place and yet there was this old prophet living there which shows he was a false prophet like Balaam. He pursued this prophet to deceive him.
1Ki 13:11 ¶ Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of Alahim had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
1Ki 13:15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17 For it was said to me by the word of the YAHUAH, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the YAHUAH, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
While the man of Alahim believed this old prophet and went to eat and drink at the table of the old prophet the word of the Yahuah came to the old prophet who prophesied that because he did not obey the word of the Yahuah his carcase will not come to the grave of his fathers.
....thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 1Kings 13:22
This man of Alahim when went out met a lion who killed him and his carcase was cast in the way and the ass stood by it and the lion caused no harm to the ass.
1Ki 13:24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
1Ki 13:28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
This man of Alahim is a spiritual picture of the elect of Alahim who prophesied the word of the Yahuah but were deceived by their own brethren in compromising and fornicating with the whore and we all met the LION (Satan) who caused us to be killed and our carcase lying on the streets not being buried/gathered up to our fathers.
1Pe 5:8 ¶ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:8 ¶ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Re 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
The 8th beast who rises up from the bottomless pit shall make war and overcome the elect and kill them. How? By their own brethren (through false doctrines) who are now all merry making giving gifts one to another (scoffing and mocking) because the elect have now seen their sin of fornicating with the whore in holding on to false doctrines and are in repentance and mourning.
Satan causes no harm to his people, no persecution for them. This can be seen from the picture of the lion standing besides the ass and not causing any harm to the ass.
Satan causes no harm to his people, no persecution for them. This can be seen from the picture of the lion standing besides the ass and not causing any harm to the ass.
1Ki 13:29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of Alahim, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of Alahim is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
The burial of the man of Alahim in the city Bethel in the grave that belonged to the old prophet is symbolic of Mystery Babylon known as Sodom and Egypt where we all lay killed by the beast. The old prophet calls the prophet the man of Alahim "Alas, my brother!'"
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.
Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
We all fornicated with the whore by the sweet counsel of our Brethren who walked up to the house of Alahim with us.
Da 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their Alahim shall be strong, and do exploits.
The flatteries of Mystery Babylon are known by us, the craftiness of our brethren exposed. Alas my brother is their deceptive cry.
