Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 6

Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 6

In this final segment of our study on the Seven-Headed Beast, we focus in on the final/seventh empire in the series of earthly world powers who had dominion over Israel when God's people were/are in their land with a Temple in Jerusalem. We know this seventh empire has "two horns" and that it is an end-times empire. Since all of the seven empires have had their own great Harlot cities, what can we learn about the seventh empire itself from Revelation 17's description of its great harlot city which employs biblical allusions to the ancient Phoenicians? Can we learn more about the geographic origin or location of the seventh kingdom? Can we learn anything about the people group(s) it emerges from? Is there information about its governmental type or other major features or characteristics?

Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 5

In part five, we delve a little deeper into our exploration of biblical indicators of the geography of the ten-horned empire. After this, we turn our attention to additional scriptural details about the characteristics and possible location of the two-horned empire. Passages such as Isaiah 23, Ezekiel 26-28, and Daniel 11 all somehow connect the ancient Phoenicians with Revelation 18's lengthy description of the Harlot which is likely to be the great or leading city of the two-horned empire.

Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 4

In episode 4 we focus in on the sixth and seventh angelic kings and their earthly, political kingdoms in the final years before Christ's return. We will return to our examination of Revelation 17:8-11 as well as Revelation 9:11 and 11:7 to help identify the "healed head" as the angel who once ruled over the ancient Roman Empire. We will then discuss the identify and timing of the seventh angelic king and his kingdom in relation to the symbol of the two-horned beast of Revelation 13:11-12 as well as the casting out of the cheif adversary in Revelation 12 and the clay of Daniel 2's statue. The last segments of this session include some consideration of the geographic location of the ten-horns as well as a look at the larger biblical use of the symbol of a harlot to describe the seven leadings cities of each of the seven empires.

Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 3

This week in our study series we discuss the significance of the bible's indications that wicked angels rule over Gentile nations in relation to the series of beastly empires discussed in Daniel and Revelation. Who are the ten horns? Are they a world-wide or global political system? Are they centered in Rome, Italy? Or, does the bible allow for or point to other options? Which beastly king in the series of seven is restored to rule for a second period of time? How does Revelation 13's two-horned beast fit in with the other beasts (heads) of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13? We will also consider some possibilities for how the specific kind of beast used to symbolize each empire may relate to the angels who preside over them.

Seven-Headed Beast Study - Part 2

In week two of our study, we continue our look at key passages from Revelation 13 and 17 along with Daniel 7 and 8. In this episode we posit our theory that the second beast of Revelation 13 which has two horns is, like the first beast and the beasts of Daniel 7 (and 8), is or includes an earthly empire of kingdom. This would mean that the bible prophesies that in the end times there will be a short period with two major world political powers: the ten-horned beast and the two-horned beast. We also consider connections to Daniel 2's statue as well as strong indications from Revelation 17:8-11 that each of these earthly kingdoms is presided over by an angelic king (or prince in accordance with Daniel 10). There is also some discussion of the historical identification of the first six beastly empires and their satanic angelic patrons.
