In Lord Jesus' Book of Revelation, Chapter 13, there are 2 different 'beasts' being described. Many brethren make the mistake of thinking the 1st beast mentioned in Revelation 13:1-2 is about a singular Antichrist figure, when instead it is about a 'beast' kingdom, and it is made up of ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns. We should automatically understand by that structure that 1st beast is about a 'kingdom' structure.

In Daniel 7:24, and in Revelation 17:12, we are shown the "ten horns" represent "ten kings", so there is another Biblical proof that the 1st beast is about a kingdom structure. And this is very easy to grasp Biblically, so if you're being taught something else, then it means those are men's doctrines designed to deceive you. Satan has a plan in the works by his servants to prepare as many as possible for the endtime strong delusion, so don't be surprised why some preachers wrongly teach the 1st beast of Rev.13 is about the antichrist.

So if you don't understand that 1st beast in Revelation 13:1-2 is about a 'kingdom' beast, then you certainly will not understand about this 'previous' beast mentioned in Revelation 12...

Rev 12:3-4
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.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
KJV

We know per Revelation 12:9 that title of the "dragon" is simply another one of Satan's many titles. No mistaking who that "red dragon" is there then.

But notice what that red dragon did in the next verse. With his tail (symbolic) he drew a third part of the stars of heaven to earth. The stars there represent the angels that rebelled with Satan originally.

What that reveals is a 'previous' beast kingdom that Satan used to rebel against God with, in that old world when Satan first sinned, for Apostle John tells us that the devil sinned from the beginning, and for this reason Christ was manifested for us in order to defeat death and the devil (1 John 3:8).

So there's a lot more that God's Word is teaching than what is normally covered in the majority of today's Churches. Satan is not only the author of the final beast kingdom of Revelation 13:1-2, but also the author of the very first beast kingdom that he tried to setup in that old world against God's throne.

Just as the Ezekiel 28 chapter serves as a type parable about Satan originally having been created perfect in his ways as a covering cherub to guard God's throne, and then he fell because of coveting God's throne, likewise the Ezekiel 31 chapter is a parable type chapter about Satan being exalted in that old world, and then his fall. The simple way we know those things are about Satan is because we well know the flesh kings of Assyria, nor Pharaoh, never were in the Garden of Eden like those chapters refer to.

Beasts as you have shown represent governments/kingdoms in the Bible. We are now under the dominion of the eighth king who will reign but a short time. The eighth king is the United Nations.

The idea of 'beast' in Scripture also applies to men (see 2 Peter 2; Jude 10; Daniel 4).

Revelation is showing us 2 different beast ideas, a beast kingdom, and a beast king ("another beast").

The U.N. apparatus represents the 'beast kingdom', not the beast king that is coming to sit over it.

The beast king that is coming will be Satan himself, in Jerusalem, for the end prior to Christ's return.

Thanks Davy for bringing that out sir. Time of course will reveal how the scene will play out. satan has always had control over the kingdoms of the earth, correct Mat 4:8,9; 2 Cor 4:4

But how can the beast be a kingdom when it says the beast and false prophet will be thrown "alive" into the lake of fire at Christs second coming?

But how can the beast be a kingdom when it says the beast and false prophet will be thrown "alive" into the lake of fire at Christs second coming?

Because the beast of Revelation 13:1-2 that comes up out of the sea has ten horns which are ten kings, seven heads which are seven mountains or areas upon the earth, and ten crowns. And that is pointing to a 'kingdom', a system upon the earth.

And Jesus also associates that 1st beast with the Daniel 7 animal symbols of the lion (ancient Babylon), and the leopard (ancient Grecia under Alexander), which were previous kingdoms upon the earth. In Revelation 17, Jesus shows John the "waters" the harlot sits over represents peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues, and that is what a kingdom contains. That 1st beast coming up out of the "sea" represents those "waters" the whore sits over (Revelation 17:1-3).

The KJV uses the personal pronoun "his" in that description, but per the Greek it could have just been "its" instead...

Rev 13:1-2
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
KJV

But the later Revelation 13:11 forward Scripture about "another beast", what the 2nd beast is about is in regards to an individual working wonders and miracles to deceive the world with, and is associated with the "dragon" which is another title for Satan.

I do not see the world at present under an 8th king. The coming Antichrist at the end of this world will be the 7th king.

Rev 17:10-11
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.


11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
KJV


"and one is" = 6th beast king; in Apostle John's day, Roman emperor Domitian.

"and the other is not yet come; ... short space" = 7th beast king; the Antichrist for the coming "great tribulation". That is what that "short space" represents.

"the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth" = the devil after... Christ's future "thousand years" reign of Rev.20 when Satan is loosed one final time to deceive the unsaved nations.

"and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition" = Satan himself, who is behind all... the beast kingdoms of both past, and future history. Only Satan and his angels at present are already judged and sentenced to 'perdition' in the future "lake of fire", so that's a direct pointer to Satan.

Many people believe there will be an antichrist that comes Davy, as that is what their teachers have told them. The Bible of course has the answers, I will post all the verses for you that speaks of the antichrist.
(1 John 2:18) . . .Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as YOU have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour. . .

(1 John 2:22) 22 Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son. . .

(1 John 4:3) . . .every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s [inspired expression] which YOU have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.

(2 John 7) . . .For many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Do you discern from all these passages that a singular antichrist will appear on the scene in the near future sir?

You actually answered your own question when you posted the 1 John 2:18 verse where Apostle John points out TWO different "antichrist" ideas there...

1 John 2:18
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

KJV


"... and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come..." = they had already heard about the singular Antichrist that shall come. Where did they already hear about that? From Lord Jesus here...

John 14:30
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me.

KJV

Jesus is pointing directly to Satan coming to OUR world with that. He said that just prior to His being delivered up to be crucified, and with that "Hereafter..." He was pointing to some future period after... His crucifixion.

Likewise in His Olivet discourse of Matthew 24:23-26, the context about that false one there is not about many Christs, it's about a singular pseudo-Christ coming, and those who will say, "Behold, Christ is here, or there", and Jesus warned to not believe it. Jesus even showed that single false-Christ will work great signs and wonders that IF it were possible, would deceive even His very elect. So I don't know how anyone could miss these points He made.


John's 2nd antichrist idea:
"... even now there are many antichrists" = The Antichrist's workers of iniquity that are already at work, even back in Old Testament history. See the "workers of iniquity" spoken of in The Old Testament. That is about Paul's "mystery of iniquity" that he said was already at work. It is also what John was pointing to with "many antichrists".

1. The Antichrist, the coming pseudo-Christ of Matthew 24:23-26.
2. many antichrists, his workers

But how can the beast be a kingdom when it says the beast and false prophet will be thrown "alive" into the lake of fire at Christs second coming?

Not sure I properly answered that. Nor is the following explanation of this popular, but it is solid in rapport with the written Scripture...

Rev 19:19-20
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him That sat on the horse, and against His army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
KJV


That timing of course is the day of Christ's future return to defeat Satan and his armies that will come upon Israel out of the northern quarters (see Ezekiel 38).

As shown in Rev.13 & Rev.17, there are 2 beast types, a beast kingdom, and a beast king.

The Revelation 17:8-13 Scripture shows 2 beast types also, but it's easy to get them confused if you don't understand about the coming Antichrist that will be setup as a beast king over his beast kingdom. Even before one gets to Rev.13, they were to understand about the beast king of Rev.9.

(And as a side note, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, per Daniel 4 which Neb wrote, because of his haughtiness in claiming to be God, our Heavenly Father made ole' Neb's mind fall into a 'beast'-like nature to live with the animals, an actual disease called Lycanthropy.)

In that Revelation 19:20 verse, notice that the "dragon" (Satan) is NOT mentioned being cast into the "lake of fire" just yet. Only... the beast and false prophet go into the "lake of fire" and perish on the day of Christ's future return. So WHICH beast type must it be pointing to, the kingdom beast, or the beast king? It is pointing to the kingdom beast. Jesus will destroy it on the day of His future return.

It is also... very important to understand, that NO FLESH MAN has been judged and sentenced to perish in the future "lake of fire" just yet, not even Judas who betrayed Lord Jesus. Only Satan and his angels so far have already been judged and sentenced to perish. This is why one of Satan's titles is the "son of perdition". And even though Lord Jesus called Judas that too, and also said Judas was "a devil", still, Judas has not been judged yet, no flesh man has. Why is that important and helps us understand about the Rev.19:20 casting into the lake of fire event at Christ's return?

It means the 'beast' and 'false prophet' of Revelation 19:20 are 'roles' that end on the day of Christ's future return. That is why Satan as the "dragon" is not included in that, because he won't be cast into the "lake of fire" until after... the future "thousand years" reign of Revelation 20. It means the beast there is about the beast 'kingdom' that is destroyed. And the 'false prophet' there is that role of the "another beast" that the dragon will play as The Antichrist for the great trib. That ROLE is also cast into the lake of fire and ends when Christ returns. Think. If it meant some flesh man, that would mean the Great White Throne Judgment happened too early. So it has to be a 'role' that the "dragon" will play for the great trib, and that role is destroyed by Christ at His coming.

Perhaps, perhaps not. I do not believe there is going to be an "antichrist" who will rise, but I guess time will tell.

I have a question. Do you think seven heads and ten crowns could mean that 3 are countries divided, (like into north and south), with two different rulers?

Ah, STG, the ten horns/hills/mountains/heads are the false religions that have existed on the earth over time.

The beast of Rev 13:1-10 is an amalgamation of the four beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 which in our near future will be judged and imprisoned in the Bottomless pit to arise up out of the Bottomless pit as a single entity with all of the former characteristics of the four beasts of Daniel 7:1-12.

The beasts exercised their influence over the seas such that people in the sea manifested the beasts and displayed their respective dominate characteristics.

The five beasts in Daniel 7:1-12 are fallen heavenly hosts that God allowed to exercise their influence over the peoples of the earth up and until they are judged in our near future when the kings of the earth are also judged and imprisoned with the heavenly hosts, i.e. the four beasts, the Little Horn/False Prophet and Satan.

In Daniel 8 we are told that the Little Horn was and still is given an army to trample God's Sanctuary and His Earthly Hosts and historically this began around the year 250 BC and will end in our near future.

The Army formed in the Book of Revelation come out of the people who rejected God's redemption or have accepted the Great Delusion and it is this army that comes into being in the region of Gog and Magog that begins marching all over the earth attacking the Saints of God before they finally enter Jerusalem and the Beast and the False prophet begin to show their true colours.

Sadly, many people from among mankind, unwittingly join Satan's quest to becoming a deity in his own right before he is captured and thrown into the Lake of Fire.

What is being described in Revelation is a spiritual battle for the minds of the peoples of the earth and those who resist the Devil, and his cohorts, will receive the promises of God and inherit his Earth. Unfortunately, we apply our logical understanding to what is happening and add confusion to our understanding of what has and will take place.

Shalom

Hmm…okay. What are the seven crowns?

I assume that you are referring to this verse: -

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.​
NKJV

The ten horns are lesser fallen angels that have been given authority to act on behalf of the Beast. They too are fallen heavenly hosts.

Just like in many churches today, we have a hierarchy order of authority, so to do the demons that are the fallen heavenly hosts.

In Daniel 10 we are told this: -
Dan 10:12-14: - 12 Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come."​
NKJV

The spiritual entity, identified as the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia, opposed God's purposes in sending an Angel to Daniel 21 days before Michael, one of the chief princes in Heaven came to help. The Prince of Persia could be considered to be one of the horns of the fourth beast of Dan 7:1-12. Because he was a prince, he would have also had a crown to match his level of authority.

In Daniel 7 we are told that the Beasts in verse 1-12 are kings and as such they have crowns to mark their authority within the spiritual realm of darkness.

Shalom

Oops.
seven heads, ten horns, ten crowns.

you see the seven heads as seven false religions. I meant to ask, what are the ten horns. Sorry.
So you think they are seven fallen angels. And the ten crowns?

Oops.
seven heads, ten horns, ten crowns.

you see the seven heads as seven false religions. I meant to ask, what are the ten horns. Sorry.
So you think they are seven fallen angels. And the ten crowns?

The fourth Beast of Daniel 7:1-12, become the part of the Beast of Rev 13:1-10, that was dead and is now alive, whose primary purpose was to speak out against God. The ten horns on its body represent ten false religions of which three are forcibly remove by the Little Horn.

I have a question. Do you think seven heads and ten crowns could mean that 3 are countries divided, (like into north and south), with two different rulers?

Dan 7:24
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings.
KJV

That's the "little horn" of that chapter, another that rises among the ten kings ("ten horns"). We are actually given this same accounting in Revelation 17:8-11. That "little horn" is to 'subdue' 3 of the ten kings.

The Hebrew for "subdue" does not mean to destroy, but to abase, to humble. In my opinion, it is pointing to a pyramid type ruling structure the "little horn" will setup. Seven kings over the seven mountains, and above the 3 kings on top of them, and then above them all the "little horn" over all of it.

What kind of political structure have the globalists been attempting to setup in our era? The EU is only one part of their plan. They also have tried to create an American Union in the past decade (Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America). They also have plans for a Pacific-Asia Union. That has also been part of the working by the Trilateral Commission which Rockefeller made President Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzenzinski over in the late 1970s. A Tri-part world, a "one world government" divided up into 3 main areas.

The seven kings over the seven mountains to me will represent seven geographic areas of the earth they will be over, under that Tri-parte system, with the Antichrist in power over it all, in Jerusalem.
