Wrath of Satan (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 (the demonic powers) which occupied Israel and caused great sufferings to the Israelites who were then the people of God. Christians are now the people of God.
After the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, Peter became the first bishop of Rome (Pope) of the New Testament Church in Rome. Vatican city, the home of Christianity in Rome sits on seven mountains seven heads. God allows the same demonic powers with deceptions and heresies to enter the church to test the faith of His children since the Apostolic age.
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 World War 3, the Antichrist will form the 'One World Order' and appoint 10 kings to rule the whole world.
Progress of World War 3
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 (blasphemous) as King Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 7:4)
The Antichrist will conquer the whole world (like a whirlwind in Dan 11:40) at full tilt (leopard). They will decimate the powerful (bear) and blasphemous (lion) West.
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?”
After the death of the Iranian Supreme Leader, Satan using his dead body will incarnate to become the Antichrist.
Men will marvel at his resurrection and follow him.
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.
He will form the 'One World Religion', which will deny the divinity of Jesus, thereby blaspheming God and His holy name Jesus.
Phi 2:9-10 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
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.
God allows the Antichrist to persecute and kill Christians for their refining. He will conquer and rule the whole world for 42 months.
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.
The Antichrist will proclaim himself God in the newly built so-called temple of God (Antichrist). All those who worship the beast will be cast into the lake of fire..
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.
