A beast in prophecy symbolizes a kingdom, hence why this beast in the book of Daniel was said to symbolize a kingdom,
As such, the first beast of Revelation having multiple heads symbolizes multiple kingdoms, hence why it rises out of the sea,
Since the sea symbolizes many kinds of peoples and languages,
And so, each head of this first beast symbolizes a series of kingdoms that comes forth chronologically one after the other, with the sixth head as the current ruling power at the time the vision was given,
With one kingdom expected to come, and five kingdoms already fallen. As such, the current ruling kingdom at the time the vision was given were the Romans. And after these seven heads, comes an eighth head, and that is the kingdom that will be in ruling power at the coming of Jesus Christ,
As such, just as we observe the first beast rising from many peoples, and just as each head encompassing a large span of time throughout a series of kingdoms, we can also observe a correlation between these other descriptions of the first beast,
To the four beasts of a Daniel, which were four kingdoms, in which case beast one of Daniel was likened to a lion, which relates to the mouth of a lion of the first beast of Revelation, who we came to know as the Babylonians,
And beast two of Daniel was likened to a bear, which relates to the feet of a bear of the first beast of Revelation, who we came to know as the Medo-Persians,
And beast three of Daniel was likened to a leopard, which relates to the appearance of a leopard of the first beast of Revelation, who we came to know as the Greeks,
And beast four of Daniel had ten horns, which relates to the ten horns of the first beast of Revelation, who we came to know as the Romans,
As such, because of this correlation, we can further identify the heads that precede the Romans as the sixth head, which were the Greeks as the fifth head, and before them were the Medo-Persians as the fourth head, and before them were the Babylonians as the third head. And lastly, we can also identify the two remaining heads, which were the Assyrians as the second head, and ultimately, we arrive at the first kingdom to ever rule over the people of God, which were the Egyptians as the first head, who enslaved the Israelites for around 400 years,
And so, the first beast symbolizes all kingdoms ruling over and coming against the people of God from the time of the Egyptians to the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ. This is also why anyone who is not written in the book of life ends up worshiping the first beast, both in the past, present, and future, because throughout time the first beast has manifested itself through various kingdoms, which were all powerful and influential kingdoms for their time,
And just as the dragon gives his authority to the first beast,
So has Satan, who is symbolized by the dragon, throughout time, has granted his authority to each kingdom symbolized by the heads of first beast,
And whoever worships these kingdoms by serving them, also worships Satan,
And so, the kingdom of the Romans, as the sixth head of the first beast having ten horns, which is also beast four of Daniel having ten horns, broke up into ten kingdoms, in which case, although the fall of the Roman empire is obscured by many different historical accounts, the ten kingdoms may be said to be the Franks, the Huns, the Visigoths, the Burgundians, the Suevi, the Anglo-Saxons, the Lombards, the Vandals, the Ostrogoths, and the Heruli. And during these horns, came forth an eleventh little horn,
In which case, this little horn symbolizes the papacy, hence why the little horn is described as having the eyes of a man,
In which case, the papacy destroyed the Vandals, the Ostrogoths, and the Heruli, which are the three horns uprooted by the eleventh little horn. This little horn not only symbolizes the papacy, but is also the antichrist that the elect were expecting to come,
As such, the antichrist is a Roman seat of authority occupied by one man, which began as the authority of Roman emperors, in which case, Titus fulfilled the prophecy as the desolator that came and destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, who even desecrated the temple of God and exalted himself above gods,
And so, this Roman seat of authority continued to live on through what later came forth to be the Roman papacy, in which case, the final pope will be the one upon whom the "decreed end is poured out on the desolator", in which case he will be destroyed by Jesus Christ himself at his second coming,
And so, during the rule of Roman emperors, the apostasy that was prophesied to come brought forth the catholic church, which in turn brought forth the papacy, who through various popes has made arrogant boasts exalting himself to be God on earth,
Which correlates with the first beast of Revelation also speaking haughty words,
Even altering Jewish laws and times by establishing new times, such as Christmas, Easter, Sunday as the new Sabbath,
And has even spoken blasphemies against God and those who dwell in heaven through many false teachings,
This little horn is also said to persecute the holy people for a time, times, and half a time,
And since Nebuchadnezzar lost his sanity for seven times, which was seven years, therefore a time is derived to be one year,
As such, a times is derived to be two times, therefore, one time plus two times plus a half time is three and a half years, which corresponds to forty two months that the first beast is said to have authority to wage war against the holy people,
And from a known prophecy in Daniel, one prophetic day is derived to be one literal year, which was the seventy weeks prophecy of Daniel which predicted the coming of Jesus Christ to be four hundred and ninety years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity,
Therefore, forty two months, which is also three and a half years, is derived to be one thousand two hundred and sixty literal years. As such, this time of papal authority was fulfilled beginning around 538 AD when the pope was officially granted power by the Justinian Code, to around 1798 AD when the pope was taken into captivity by the French, and so, throughout this appointed time, inquisitions and massacres were perpetrated by the rule of the papacy, which indeed martyred the holy people of God. And when the pope was taken into captivity is when the sixth head received its fatal wound,
After the sixth head, also came the Ottomans as the seventh head, which came for a little time,
And around the time that the papacy was abolished, came forth the second beast of Revelation,
As such, just as the seas symbolize many peoples, the earth symbolizes a sparse population, and so the United States ascended as a new kingdom in what was said to be a new world, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the second beast. And in likewise manner that the second beast exercises all the authority in relation to the first beast,
So has the United States come forth as a kingdom related to the kingdoms symbolized by the first beast, in great authority in the world as those kingdoms once were, and was even birthed from the descendants of the kingdoms that the kingdom of the Romans broke up into, which were the European colonies that gave rise to the Americans. In which case, the United States ascended in the form of government that the sixth head first was, which was the democratic government that the Romans first were, which is a rulership of the majority, determining good or evil by the vote of the majority. In which case, this democratic form of government is also what the eighth and final head will be,
Since at the time the vision was given, the sixth head was not a republic, but a kingdom ruled by Roman emperors, hence "the beast that once was, and now is not". This also relates to why the ten horns that the Romans broke up into had crowns,
As opposed to the ten final horns of the first beast that do not have crowns, when the time that the eighth head comes to be, because a horn with a crown symbolizes a monarchy whereas a horn without a crown symbolizes a republic. As such, the government of the United States was formed in the image of the Roman government, which is the form of government that it tells the inhabitants of the earth to form as an image of the beast,
Which are democratic forms of government throughout the world that image the first beast and itself, and so, we see this already fulfilled with the promotion of independent democracies by the United States throughout the entire world, even fighting wars to create and promote new democracies and quash opposition, thus also fulfilling this prophecy,
In which case, most of the kingdoms of the world have already become republics that image the first beast. And not only does the second beast influence the entire world, but it also exercises great power, to even cause fire to rain down from heaven,
Which relates to the power the United States exercises by its own technology, to even bomb and destroy entire cities using its military and air force, displaying incredible power that no kingdom has ever had before. Such signs, among other technological wonders in various industries, such as communications, transportation, and medicine, have caused the entire world to be in awe and deceived by its signs,
Which has caused the world to want to mimic the Americans as a result of the deception. The second beast has not just promoted its form of government to the world, but also its way of life, which includes entertainment with movies & music, financial system of debt, its sexual lewdness, and decadence. The two horns of the second beast symbolize congress and the presidency as the two ruling powers of the United States,
In which case, as a lamb, the United States is perceived to be godly, yet as a dragon it spreads wickedness around the world. During this time, the eighth and final head of the first beast is already forming as the European Union, in which case many countries have already given their authority to this union, yet its final form will be a republic that will be given authority by ten kingdoms that have not yet received authority,
And their sole purpose when they receive authority will be to give their authority to the final formation of the European republic, in which case, this final republic will wage war against Jesus Christ when he returns,
And as the formation of the eighth head comes to be, the fatal wound of the sixth was healed,
Which was the reinstatement of the papacy around 1929 by Benito Mussolini, which brought forth the whore of Babylon, which sits upon the first beast that has the seven heads and ten horns,
And is involved with the kings and governments of the world, and has made the inhabitants of the entire world drunk with the wine of her false teachings,
And is also a mother of whores,
Because as a false church symbolized by a whore, she has given birth to more whores, which are all the false churches and false denominations that have come forth from the catholic church, borrowing many of her false teachings. In which case, the papacy is enthroned at the Vatican, which sits in the city that has seven hills, which is Rome,
As such, the Vatican sits upon the first beast because she is a culmination of all the heads of the first beast, which is why the teachings and symbols of the catholic church all relate to teachings and symbols going back to the Babylonians and the Egyptians. The whore of Babylon is also said to be drunk with the blood of the saints,
Because the papacy persecuted the people of God as the first beast having authority for one thousand two hundred and sixty years before it became drunk with their blood when it became the whore of Babylon during the formation of the eighth and final head of the first beast. As such, the Vatican will be destroyed by the ten kingdoms that will give their authority to the final European republic,
And before they burn the Vatican with fire, they will first make her naked by exposing something shameful about her and will then will devour her flesh by ransacking her. This is one of the final signs before the second coming of Jesus Christ.
