Wrath of Satan (5th Seal)
Antichrist - the Beast (5th Seal)
Rev 13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
rising out of the sea this beast (Antichrist) comes out from among the people (water).
seven heads are the seven mountains where the harlot sits.
Vatican city, the home of Christianity in Rome sits on seven mountains (hills). God allowed heresies to enter the church since the Apostolic age to test the faith of His children. The depravity of the seven churches (seven mountains) was the result of deceptions and demonic doctrines.
In every sound church today, we will find both saints and depraved Christians worshipping together, with the latter increasing at a fast rate during the last days.
Rev 17:9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
ten horns with ten crowns
Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast."
After the success of WW3, the Antichrist will appoint 10 kings to rule the whole world, thereby replacing the abominable UN.
End Time Beast
Rev 13:2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
leopard speedy conquest as Alexander the Great (Dan 7:6)
bear powerful and devour its enemies (Dan 7:5)
lion boastful as King Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 7:4)
The Antichrist who posesses Satanic power joins hands with its allies to conquer the whole world at full tilt (leopard). They decimate (bear) the US and EU and blaspheme (lion) God and the heavenly host.
Rev 13:3-4 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
The final angelic warfare will see the banishment of Satan and his fallen angels from heaven forever. On earth, Satan will possess the dead body of an Imam and resurrect as the Antichrist (beast), who will annihilate the warships of the West. Having conquered the whole world he will rebuild the temple of God, where he will proclaim himself god.
Men will foolishly marvel at his appearance and worship him as God.
Rev 13:5-6 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
For 42 months, God gives the Antichrist free rein to run amok and to massacre the saints.
Rev 13:7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Rev 13:8-9 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Whosoever worships the beast will be cast into the lake of fire, for his name will not be found in the Book Of Life.
Rev 14:9-10 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone..."
Patience of the Saints
Rev 13:10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Our Lord demands our patience for 'Vengeance is His' and His judgment is just; this is the faith of the saints.
