Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
red dragon..
Just my observation from studying different things...
heaven to me is the mind. earth is the body.
There appeared a wonder in heaven... I don't see this as the physical sky, but an .. hmm.. Aha moment. Oh, I see...
a new "understanding" a teaching,
what is this new teaching? by whose authority...
Mat 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
2Ch 15:3 Now for a long season Israel
hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
2Ch 15:4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
red dragon.. always makes me think of communist China.
seven heads, ten horns, seven crowns...
riddle me this.
What has seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns upon it's heads?
In the book of Genesis when describing Eden, it says there were four heads, rivers that went forth from eden.
Kind of like the four gospels that make up the New Testament.
This beast has seven. and they wear crowns.. authority. Ten horns... speakers.
I hear seven roads.. like the Silk Road.. commerce. travel. trade.
Like Paul on the "ROAD" to Damascus... but it got cut off because the Lord appeared to Paul so the mission would not be accomplished.
Cut off at the pass, so to speak.
There are an unlimited amount of ways to interpret things. I don't believe any are entirely true or entirely false.
It's the language we use trying to explain how we see the events unfolding.
Some say tomato..
But in the end it's all the same salad.
I don't know if we will "see" this beast, or if we will just "know" it.
I never knew you...
It's in the knowing.
It's in the mind..
Where is your treasure?
Deu 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee
his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and
thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Mat 13:44 Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.
What is that treasure?
Pro 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell
it not;
also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven...
Is this a new ideology?
How old is communism?
History of communism
The history of communism encompasses a wide variety of ideologies and political movements sharing the core theoretical values of common ownership of wealth, economic enterprise and property. Most modern forms of communism are grounded at least nominally in Marxism, a theory and method conceived by Karl Marx
during the 19th century.
Relatively new I would say...
By 1985,
one-third of the world's population lived under a Marxist–Leninist system of government in one form or another.
[1] However, there was significant debate among communist and Marxist ideologues as to whether most of these countries could be meaningfully considered Marxist at all since many of the basic components of the Marxist system were
altered and revised by such countries.
[4] The failure of these governments to live up to the ideal of a
communist society as well as their general trend towards increasing
authoritarianism has been linked to
the decline of communism in the late 20th century.
[1] With the
dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, several
Marxist–Leninist states repudiated or abolished the ideology altogether.
[5] As of the 21st century, only a small number of Marxist–Leninist states remain, namely
China,
Cuba,
Laos and
Vietnam

We can add Venezuala, and probably eventually Taiwan, ...
