The prophecies of the Bible and the papacy - the antichrist - the beast from the sea (Revelation chapter 13 verses 1-10)

Revelation 13:1-10

Commentary and interpretation

1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea.

Beast- religious-political power,

Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, he said which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

the sea- many warring peoples

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

and he had ten horns and seven heads;

horns-countries, kings

Danail 8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

heads –religious organizations, leaders

Revelation 17:9. And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

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.

(The antichrist – the last pope)

and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads blasphemous names

This blasphemous religious-political system (beast) that unites all the fake religions of the Old World in ecumenism is the Papacy - the Vatican.

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:

Leopard - the Greek dualistic philosophy, unity and struggle of opposites, pantheism, Plato's doctrine of the immortality of the soul,

Feet of a bear - actions, customs, holidays and other traditions of the Mid-Persian Mithraism, the cult of the invincible sun

mouth of the lion - the dualistic religion of Babylon with her worship of the gods of the elements - An-god of heaven (ether), Enlil of the air, Nintou - mother goddess of the earth and Enki - the protector of the fresh waters - abzu, later of Marduk - the god of fire, as well as the worship of the astral gods: Nana (Manna or Zwen, Semitic Son) - god of the moon, Utu (Semitic Shamash) - God of the Sun and Inana (Semitic Ishtar)- heavenly queen, goddess of love and war and mistress of planet Venus.

This false pagan system of worship through deeds involves faith in predestination (fatalism, zodiacs), but also in chance luck, and requires sacrifices and gifts to atonement of the cruel and vindictive gods, to whom besides the above two groups also belong the gods of the vegetation, the god Nigishzidda, often depicted as a grass snake, ie. a symbol of the reviving nature, and god Dumuzi (Tamuz), who dies and rises (nowadays he honors at Christmas and Easter). A separate group in the pantheon is the gods of the underworld and of the Land of the Dead, called arals. Their ruler is Ereshchagal with her husband Nergal. Her group includes both the messenger and the god of the disasters Nathar, as well as the demons. Lesser deities are: Netty, the door keeper, the scribe named Diplimekuk, as well as the boatman carrying the dead through the underworld. The judges of the dead are various gods, including Gilgamesh, the legendary hero and ruler of Uruk.

We see that the religion of the Papacy and the other religions that it will unite in ecumenism (Orthodoxy, fallen Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Judaism) has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ from the Bible, but is a pagan, satanic a system of false worship, which is presented as Christian.

and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

The dragon is Satan and his pagan and spiritic fake religions fictionalized by him - Babylonian, Mid-Persian Mithraism and ancient Greek mythology. During the pagan Rome they mingle, adding to them the cult of the emperor - god. One of the papal titles was taken by the Emperor of Rome, who was also the chief priest of the Empire, Pontifex Maximus, the chief builder of bridges (to the beyond world). Its apogee, this spiritual and pagan religious system, which is associated with state power to force its false doctrines, reached through the Middle Ages - Papal Rome. Later, it seems to have been destroyed, but passed on to the Vatican - the "new" papacy (founded in 1918-1929) its power (from its fraudulent teachings), the throne (judiciary), and its power over the consciousness of deceived humanity.

3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

The head wounded by the sword deadly and then healed is usually associated with the arrest of Pope Pius VI by French General Bertie in 1798, believing that the Papacy lost its power and later recovered it. But, as we have mentioned above, we are talking about the head of the beast, ie of the new papacy, not of the dragon-medieval papacy. Therefore, this event is forthcoming, and the arrest of General Bertie is a pre-performance with which God wants us to guide us, what will happen in the future. This can be an attack on the Vatican made by the papacy itself and then associated with a miracle of "resurrection," with which people will be deceived that God has raised the last Pope - the antichrist and He is on his side. This scenario is quite plausible, as it is now claimed that the antichrist - the papacy in Francis' face is hated by many groups he "fights" with, namely the Islamic state, the mafia, the big monopolies, some governments, the energy mafia, many rich people, extremists and others. because he heads the fight against their interests to protect the poor and the weak. So it will be claimed that the Islamic State, Mafia, Monopoly and other forces have allied and have made the attack on the Vatican and almost nobody will believe it was made by the secret services of the Vatican.

4. they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

The whole world (without the faithful to Lord Jesus Christ) will bow to the Satan dragon (imposing paganism, spiritism, idolatry) because it gave its power to the beast (the Vatican - the "new" papacy - antichrist)

Through false miracles (even "resurrection") the whole world will be deceived that no one can fight the beast - the papacy - the antichrist, because God is with him.

5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;

As mentioned above in the comment in verse 2, the beast has a "mouth of a lion," ie the religion of Babylon with its worship of the "gods" of the elements, the astral "gods," the "rising gods, the "gods" of the "kingdom of the dead", therefore the phrase "it was given to him to speak proudly and blasphemously" means that a religion that removes the worship of God (keeping faith in His Ten Commandments) is introduced, but instead introduces a human fake religion that requires worship in front of man and imposes human commandments and is related to the worship of nature, of creation, and with spiritualism, communion and worship of the "souls of the deceased", which do not exist.

and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.

Forty-two months is three and a half years, as much as Christ served on the earth, and as the disciples served until the end of the "grace period for the Jews" with the murder of deacon Stephen, also the period equals time (one year or 360 days), times (two years or 720 days) and half time (half a year or 180 days) or a total of 1260 days, as here it is predicted this period to be a literal 1260 days, as opposed to Revelation chapter 12, verse 14, where the expression "time, times and half a time "means 1260 years (at prophetic time one day is equal to one year).

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

The beast (the papacy - the antichrist) blasphemes because he claims to be the god of the earth and the viceroy of the Son of God (Jesus says he will send another Comforter, God the Holy Spirit, not man), claims to have the right to forgive sins (provided he himself is a mortal man) that he can sue all, and no one has the right to judge that he is a Holy Father, that is, sinless, accepts a worship as God, asserting that by transubstantiation the priests create the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ of the bread and wine so blasphemed God by not recognizing him as a Creator, but the priests become "parents of God", does not recognize Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer because the Pope - the antichrist - appears to be the savior and redeemer of mankind. The "Name of God" is His universal character expressed in His Law, the Beast - the Papacy - the Antichrist rejects the Law of God, and does not accept what God declares in the Second Order that he punishes those who violate His commandments and blesses those who keep them through faith and instead of worshiping God by preserving His Orders by faith introduces idolatry - worship of statues, icons, dead and living people, rosaries, jubilees, panahids, vigils and many others. He mentions God's name in vain, that is, the character of God, introducing false doctrines, changing the festive day of worship from the Sabbath (Jesus declared, "I am Lord of the Sabbath) to the day of sun-Sunday. The expression “to blaspheme the tabernacle” means that the" heavenly sanctuary "is being blasphemed, ie the salvation that God does to justify all sinners who have believed in Him.Jesus Christ is currently participating in this heavenly Research Court as our Mediator, Redeemer, Advocate, that is, a high priest, but the papacy - the antichrist claims he is our High Priest. Jesus declares, "Come to me all the hard-pressed and burdened, and I will reassure you," and the papacy declares that if someone goes directly to Christ, he will face an angry God, but if he goes to a "saint" or to Mary , they will be mediators in salvation (in fact the deceased sleep and there are no "souls of the dead"), Jesus says make disciples, and the beast the papacy says that making disciples is a sin. To blame "those who live in the heavens" means that the papacy - the beast - the antichrist will blame the believers in Jesus Christ, who according to the words of the Apostle Paul are in heaven, "and our citizenship is in heaven." They will be accused of being heretics, sectarians, fanatics, extremists, blasphemers, criminals and even terrorists.

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.

He will defeat the saints, because people will believe in his words, not the words of the believers, and all without the "saints" who "live in the heavens" will obey his authority and false teachings.

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..

All who live on earth will worship him, and they will perceive his false doctrines, accept him as a divine authority and moral leader, both in the religious and the political spheres. Papacy - the antichrist will be declared the moral leader of the world government (for state and religious governance) that will be created at the UN, according to the plan for a new world order. Only those who are recorded in the book of the slaughtered Lamb, that is, they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior will not be deceived by the destructive lies of the beast - the papacy - the antichrist.

9. If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Here God's Word appeals to listeners to harness all their efforts and desire and to ask God to reveal to them what he wants to tell them with this prophecy, why it is important to our eternal fate. If we believe in God and keep His Orders by faith, we will have eternal life with our God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but if we do not believe we will die with eternal death.

10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.

Here the Word of God speaks of divine justice, which will be pronounced as a result of the Investigative Court, which is now taking place in the heaven, which began in 1844 and when it was finished, everyone would receive according to his deeds.

Romans 2: 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

The saints - the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior are warned by Him:
