What or who is the 8th king?

The Beast of Revelation 13 is a future human man, and he wasn't in the garden beguiling

The Beast isnt in heaven as you claim, he will be a future human man upon earth

Sorry but your wrong, the first beast is a political one world government , I mean really you can't see this happening before your very eyes? That system will receive a deadly wound , meaning it's gonna fall apart ,which will be healed by the anti Christ pretending to be Christ ,that in turn we will lead to a one world religious system headed by satan himself along with his fallen angels that come with him after the war in Heaven.

No mere man(human) will pretend to be Christ ,the anti Christ is and can only be satan, that's all he's ever wanted and he's gonna get his chance and those who follow him will think they are following the true Christ

 

[Oseas]

Revelation 13:v.1 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.

The Man Beast of sea
I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a Beast rise up out of the sea,...>sea=>peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues-Revelation 17:v.15 - The Man Beast of sea is a Gentile Beast;

... a Beast of the sea having seven heads...
The Beast of sea did rise up out of the Gentile nations. The nations are located in Europe, and Asia, Africa, Oceania(Australia), North America, Central America and South America, in fact 7 regions of the Earth; One of this 7 regions will be wounded to death or mortally wounded by a Sword, in fact a sharp Sword. (In my view South America);

...having also 10 horns...
The MAN Beast of sea in this moment is working only with his 7 heads. The 10 horns will be linked to the Beast of sea in very near future, as soon as the MAN Beast of the earth(earth here is Israel-the clay, the dry land) manifest himself like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah,an esoteric,and kabbalistic,and spiritist messiah in fulfilment of JESUS said(John 5:v.43-this is prophecy), who has two horns, but he speaks as a Dragon;

...and upon his horns 10 crowns...
The esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah(John 5:v.43-this is prophecy)is of the tribe of Dan(Gen.49:v.17), and he is(will be) the main ruler of the kingdom of Israel and its 10 crowned tribes symbolized as 10 toes-Daniel 2:v.42, and also symbolized as 10 kings in Revelation 17:v.3 and 7;

...and upon his (7) heads the NAME of blasphemy...
Vicarius Filii Dei

Revelation 13:v.2 - the Dragon will give to the MAN Beast of sea his Power, and his Seat (in Jerusalem), and great Authority-the Pope will sit on a Throne in Jerusalem-Israel-a great delusion; The COURT which is without the temple...is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city -Jerusalem- shall they tread under foot forty and two(42)months. THE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST WEEK

Revelation 13:v.5 - And there was given unto him (unto the MAN Beast of sea) a MOUTH(Rev.16:v.13) speaking great things and blasphemies;and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. THE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST WEEK

Revelation 13:v.6-9
6 And he opened his MOUTH in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make War with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth-the Jews-Israel- shall WORSHIP him (great delusion), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Daniel 12:v. 11 - THE SECOND HALF OF THE LAST WEEK - Matthew 24:V.15
11 And from the time that the...the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 1.290 days

Daniel 12:v. 12 - The glorious, the wonderful, the marvelous day 1335
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 1.260 + a gap of 30 days + a gap of 45 days = GREAT DAY 1.335

 

[n2thelight]

Thanks but I see the beast as a demonic being over Rome. Also the bible teaches that the beast is different that the antichrist

Demonic beings are already here coaxing man however the time will come when they will be here live and in color , physically .
Rome is just another deception , like buddist and Islam etc satan will come as the ultimate deception upon those who call themselves Christians

No these don’t get reigned over they do the reigning

Is Christ not your King in this life then?

Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

Your claim is false, The Beast will be a future human man that Is described by "Personal Pronouns" He, His, Him, that dosent depict a world government as you falsely claim

Revelation 13:4-8KJV
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Of course He is I’m not sure why you would ask that but it says that we reign with Him

 

[n2thelight]

Your claim is false, The Beast will be a future human man that Is described by "Personal Pronouns" He, His, Him, that dosent depict a world government as you falsely claim

Revelation 13:4-8KJV
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:4 "And they worshipped the dragon which [because he] gave power [his authority] unto the the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

The Christian world will also worship Satan [the Antichrist] and his "one world system", because they will think that he is Christ. It is obvious when you watch the news, to see God fearing doctors and nurses, as well as many other humanitarians, and even children all giving of themselves to others around the world, all in the name of this political beast. It is the stamp of the U.N. that gets the praise, not the individual or a nation, before the public.

The leaders of the United Nations, and it's agencies that have "the teeth of the lions." This verse is alive today, and the whole world is looking to this beast [U.N.] for its food, protection, guidance, medical aid, and so on; and even to the newly set of international trade and commerce treaty laws.

The political beast has another head, and it is the head of an religious beast. When the authority behind this political beast arrives on earth, at that time the people of the world will call him "saviour". That authority [in verse two] is Satan, the dragon, and he is cast onto the earth by Michael.

The "head wound" is not to an individual then, but to a "political system". When one of the major players drops out of that system, it will be in serious trouble of ending. We see also that if the system is world wide, no one could make war with it, for their all part of it.

Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power [authority] was given unto him to continue forty and two months."

When Satan has arrived to rule over this beast, or one world system, and out of his mouth will come all sorts of lies and blasphemies. He has power only because he was given that power and authority from God, as we saw in Revelation 9:1. Now note how long it is for: "forty two months". Remember, all times given in days are given to the children of God of the light, while all times given in months or moons pertain to Satan and his system of darkness. Revelation 9:5, 10 let us know that this time has been shortened to five months for the elects sake.

Daniel 8:22-24 tells us that Satan comes in peacefully, and prosperous, and those within his system will have the same prosperity. Who can fight that promise? How much is your soul worth? Satan is not here now, however, when he arrives as the Antichrist, he will offer you to what ever you think your soul is worth.

Revelation 13:6 "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven."

Satan [the Antichrist] is mad and in rage against God, and all who are God's children, as well as the authorities in heaven, and this is because he just got kicked out of heaven. There is only one group of people that will not accept Satan, and that is God's elect. They know what is to come upon the earth, while all others will worship Satan, and be part of his system.

Revelation 13:7 "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nation."

The only war that exists now will be a spiritual war, a war of words, ideas, concepts, and doctrine. This is why we must have our full armor of God on, as recorded in Ephesians 6:10-20. It spells out the type of warfare and the armor necessary. Satan has power over all other peoples of the earth, because he rules the over his one world system. The "elect of God" will be delivered up to Satan's revival for the purpose of conversion.

Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

The whole world will worship the Antichrist [Satan] as Christ, except those "whose names were chosen from before the foundations of this world." They are the "elect" of God. Also in the group to stand against Satan are the 144,000 of chapter seven. The twelve thousand individuals sealed from each tribe of Israel. These are the only ones God will allow to understand the prophecies of the end times.

The elect's names were written in the "book of life" for the stand they took in the first earth age, that time when Satan fell and took one third of angelic souls with him.

Revelation 13:9 "If any man have an ear, let him hear."

If you have the seal of God, or the knowledge and understanding of end time prophecy in your mind, you can stand against Satan [Antichrist].

 

[Stumpmaster]

Then who gets ruled over if the birds have eaten all people?

Obviously the earth is repopulated during the millenium.

Rev 20:7-9 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison (8) and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. (9) They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

I believe the 70th week to be back in the days of Antiochus Epehanies

Couldn't have been, antiochus did not make a covenant with Israel. He was a prototype for the future antichrist and Jesus was satill over a century and a half away!

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The he of verse 27 refers back to the prince of the people that shall come and destroy the sanctuary. So it cannot be Antiochus Epiphenes IV

Of course it was in 9:25 and in 9:26

A Question about RABIES

The 70 weeks of Daniel 9:24-27 are "Future" and will start at a "Future" command to build

I believe it will be in preparation of a "Future" temple, this will cause the Muslim nations to come against Jerusalem and stop the building, as the Antichrist is revealed in the 70th week starting the future 3.5 year tribulation

Daniel 9:v.24 to 27-Complete Jewish Bible

-24 “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and for your holy city for putting an end to the transgression, for making an end of sin, for forgiving iniquity, for bringing in everlasting justice, for setting the seal on vision and prophet, and for anointing the Especially Holy Place.

25 Know, therefore, and discern that seven weeks [of years] will elapse between the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Yerushalayim until an anointed prince comes. -JESUS. It will remain built for sixty-two weeks [of years], with open spaces and moats; but these will be troubled times.

26 Then, after the sixty-two weeks, Mashiach -Messiah- will be cut off and have nothing. The people of a prince yet to come (Ezekiel 21:v.25) will destroy the city and the sanctuary, but his end will come with a flood, and desolations are decreed until the WAR is over. 27 He -a prince yet to come (Ezekiel 21:v.25)- will make a strong covenant with leaders(who are these leaders?) for one week [of years]. <---This prophecy has nothing to do with the time of JESUS, no, absolutely. Again: Who are those leaders with whom the ruthless PRINCE makes a STRONG COVENANT for one week? For half of the week he -a prince yet to come- will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”


Revelation 13:v.2 - KJV -
2 And the Beast which I saw ... the Dragon-the Beast of earth like a lamb- gave him his Power, and his Throne (in JERUSALEM), and great Authority. HERE IS A STRONG COVENANT BETWEEN THE BEAST OF SEA and the Beast of the Earth like a lamb, a false lamb, a false messiah of the Jews, son of perdition-sea mean peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues-he is a Gentile Beast- the Papacy.
Both Beasts will build an Universal and satanic religious kingdom - the esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist Judaism with the Roman Catholic Church, which rides upon the Beast of sea- the Pope - the Papacy.

THROUGH A STRONG COVENANT BETWEEN THE BEAST OF SEA - THE POPE-THE PAPACY-and the Beast of the Earth like a lamb, a false lamb, a false messiah of the Jews, son of perdition-
when the Beast of earth like a lamb-gives to the Pope his Power, and his Throne(in JERUSALEM, and great Authority, then the Pope will sit on the Throne of the false messiah in Jerusalem according their strong COVENANT, what will be a strong DELUSION. The false messiah will exercise all the power of the first Beast-the Pope-before him, and will cause the earth-Israel-and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast-the Pope-, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he -the false messiah- will do great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceives them that dwell on the earth-Israel-by the means of those miracles which he has power to do in the sight of the Beast-the Pope; saying to them that dwell on the earth-dwell in Israel-, that they should make an image to the Beast, which has the wound by a Sword(a sharp Sword), and still lives.

The things above will fulfil LITERALLY in near future. Get ready

 

[Brakelite]

According to the Book of Revelation, the Fall of Babylon will be in evidence as a result of its termination by the TEN CROWNED HORNS of the BEAST from the SEA, which is still around, manifesting in part through the ideologies of Papal Rome, and working towards Global Governance that is a continuance of Political Rome.


Glory to God who knows all things and reveals the meaning of His Word as follows:


1. Egypt (fallen)
2. Assyria (fallen)
3. Babylon (fallen)
4. Medo-Persia (fallen)
5. Greece (fallen)
6. Political Rome (fallen since Paul wrote to the Thessalonians and John wrote the Revelation)
7. Papal Rome (active)
8. PERDITIOUS ROME - on the way, watch this space. (Figuratively Rome is all exalted human government worldwide)

I like the way you are tending here. May I offer a slight adjustment, but staying within the same concept? I see the heads also as empires. But I would hold to the same empires as depicted in Daniel, and repeated as comprising the first beast of Revelation 13. So we start with Babylon. History informs us and prophecy declared this would be so, that Babylon was followed by Media-Persia, then Greece, then pagan Rome. This more or less covers old testament literal physical empires. The first 4 of the 7.
The new testament however things changed. Literal Israel was superceded by spiritual Israel. Literal Babylon was superceded by spiritual Babylon. So in the new testament age, the empires of prophecy I believe are spiritual global powers, rather than literal localized powers. So the 3 powers to be identified I believe are first papal Rome... The 5th power which was killed by a "head wound". This took place at the end of the 18th century when France entered Rome and took the Pope into captivity, where he died in exile. This was not the demise of spiritual Babylon, but it was a mortal wound in that the papal power lost her political strength as a church/state union. Her lands were confiscated and declared a republic, the college of Cardinals disbanded, and all this took place in the context of the French revolution which rejected religion and officially placed the goddess of reason as the head of state... Thus giving birth to the 6th global power, atheism. It was from these actions that atheistic communism arose, and the rejection of biblical creationism to be replaced by evolution, which in turn revolutionized education and science throughout the world. This global atheistic power was depicted as a beast from the bottomless pit who killed the two witnesses, being the old and new testament of scripture. France banned scripture, burnt Bibles and all writings that alluded to scripture, for exactly 3½ days/years. After this short period, France rescinded her previous enactments, and the spirit of life re-entered the Bible as the foundation of faith and practise and it was from that time Bible societies came into being, and the distribution of scripture all over the world materialized. The revolution in France however had done it's work. Atheism had taken root, and the beast grew. Which leads us to
The 7th empire I believe is now on the rise. This is depicted in the second beast on Revelation 13. The first was the Papacy, comprising the philosophies and pagan teachings of the first 4 beasts (and having a hand in the rise of the 5th, but that is another conversation) and going into captivity. That second beast which arose at the same time as the papacy sank, being the end of the 18th century, was Protestant America. Protestantism of course is spiritual, is global, but did not take on the nature of global influence until it had the protection of American constitutional freedoms. The lamb like beast had the appearance of being Christ-like, but would through it's actions and legislation, speak like the dragon at some time, becoming a persecuting power, and enact legislation which would bring about within it's political sphere am image to the first beast, a union of church and state, which would globally influence mankind in accepting a worship, reverence for, and submission to the tenets and false teachings of the 8th empire which is the 5th resurrected... The Papacy with it's head wound healed.
So the 8 powers are the literal local powers of
Babylon
Media Persia
Greece
Pagan Rome and the global spiritual powers of
Papal Rome
Atheism
Apostate Protestantism.
