Revelation Chapter 13 (R13a)

Wrath of Satan
5th Seal – Wrath of Satan/Tribulation
 
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) and not from the church.
 
seven heads
  Satan manifests himself into the various forms (heads) to deceive mankind. His first appearance was the serpent to deceive Eve.
  Just before World War 3, he will manifest himself, using the corpse of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah, as the Antichrist , the incarnate of Satan.
  During the dedication of the so-called temple of God, he will manifest himself as (false) God seated on the mercy seat of the Ark in the Holy of holies.
  Since the Apostolic age, God has allowed Satan to corrupt the church, but the faith of His Apostles and disciples in the Council in Jerusalem overcame the wiles of Satan.
 
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 World War 3, the Antichrist will form the 'One World Order' and appoint 10 kings to help him 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 and proud (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 Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah is killed (mortally wounded), Satan using his dead body will incarnate (deadly wound healed) 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 blasphemes God by denying Him as the One and only Almighty God, the Creator and also denies the divinity of Jesus and the Triune Godhead.
  The king of the North (new Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah) is the Antichrist, the incarnate of Satan.
Dan 11:36a  “Then the king (king of the North) shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods,"
 
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.
  For forty two months, God allows the Antichrist to persecute Christians for their refining.
 
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.
