I am speaking scripture in paraphrase and you know it.
We are to look for God's prophetic words being fulfilled in two ways:
First, we are to search the scriptures to find Jesus, and how He fulfilled all that was prophesied about Him of His first appearance. John 5:39
Second, we are to search the scriptures to
to verify how the scriptures are being "fleshed out" by the church, as well as those who are of the world. Mat. 24:4-14.
In Rev. 13:1-9 we have the symbolic picture of the last phase of the evolved formation of the 4th 10H Beast of Daniel, which began as the Roman Empire. Its depiction in Rev. 13:2 reveals it contained the remnants of the 3 beasts before it, but had through time, evolved into the status of a global power, beyond that of military might. Because the last phase of that 10H Beast shall be ruling over all the world, having no boundaries, as did the other 3 Beasts that came before it, we are to look for HOW it is ruling, and in what manner.
Now since quite a few nations today have an enormous amount of power and the military ability to destroy the world, we must look in a different direction. The evolved 10H Beast of today, does something that no other Beast or country did or does. Its heads of leadership literally worship Lucifer, aka the dragon, who is satan.
Rev. 13[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
So then what people, power of world authority literally worships satan/Lucifer?
Ans.The Global Financial Empire of the Global Banking Elite- the Rothchilds, Rockefellers and the JP Morgans, etc.
Th
THAT IS the LAST stage of the 10H Beast.
You think not? Then try understanding the words: "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" Rev. 13:14
