    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Sure, the imagery in the Apocalypse includes metaphors that morph from one symbol to another. "Symbolic Heads" morph into "Symbolic Mountains" which then morph into "Satanic Kingships" as the narrative unfolds. Head 1: The controlling spirit aspect of Egypt was slavery, and still is in satanic...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Just because one person doesn't understand the question and answer technique it doesn't mean that technique is wrong and shouldn't used. Likewise, just because one person doesn't know the difference between Divine Predestination which follows on from Divine Foreknowledge, and the false doctrine...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    The function of heads is different from the function of horns. Your head houses your brain which controls your body. By analogy the word head is used to identify parts and persons in positions of prominence and control. Likewise animals use horns to execute their wills and enforce their rights...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    If faith comes by hearing the Word of God why doesn't everyone who hears the Word of God hear it in the sense of trusting it to be true, thereby coming to faith in Christ? In the Parable of the Sower we are given various reasons for those who receive the Word not being fruitful, but why don't...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Works for when crowns are specified. When they are not specified there is kingship but it is under the sovereignty of the specified rulership, namely the heads of the Dragon, and the horns of the Beast.

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Depicted metaphorically as the Dragon in Revelation 12 Satan is wearing 7 crowns on his 7 heads. 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. Crowns symbolise sovereignty. Heads...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    The Great Apostasy. The escalation towards it is underway.

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    In the Apocalypse the specific use of crowns speaks to sovereignty. No crown mentioned = no sovereignty symbolised. Take it or leave it. My thinking about the false prophet includes his upbringing and career leading to the same extreme narcissism that Roman Caesars fell prey to.

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    Not all Seven Mountain-Head Kingdoms are positioned before Christ's Advent, Ministry, and Sacrifice. Rev 17:9-10 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; (10) they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    No problem. The two Beasts of Revelation 13 are both cast into the Lake of Fire, ending the sovereignty of Satan over them on earth. One thousand years later after being released from Abyss the Dragon tries to regain the ground it lost but also ends up in the Lake of Fire. So much for its...

    Yeah. Give it a try.

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    The Seven Crowned Heads of the Dragon represent the inherent sovereignty of Satan himself exercising complete corporate control over the principalities and powers under his control. The same template applies to the Beast from the Sea who we originally see in Revelation 13 but with no crowned...

    I don't reference Daniel when the disclosure made to John doesn't.

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    As the metaphorical Dragon, Satan doesn't give up his sovereign control symbolised in the crowns on his 7 heads, but unregenerate humanity in the metaphorical portrayal as the Beast from the Sea rises up to achieve sovereignty of enforcement as symbolised by its 10 crowned horns. Revelation 17...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    The Dragon is a separate entity to the Beast from the Sea, which is also the Beast on which Mystery Babylon the Great sits. The crowns (7) on the Dragons heads represent sovereignty of complete corporate control. The crowns (7+3) on the horns of the Beast from the Sea represent sovereignty of...

    Revelation 17:7-18 Who are these guys?

    I consider the Beast from the Sea in Revelation 13 to be a metaphor depicting the Eighth Empire of Revelation 17:11, to which the short time of 42 months apply, not excluding the duration of Papal Rome being its 7th Head for a short time. Applications of 42 months mentioned in the Bible The...
