Section 21 About scarlet colored beast

Preliminary data: under the reference to Rev.13:1 we have addition to Rev.12:3, that seven crowns upon beast’s heads have names of blasphemy; each of 10 horns also has crown. The animal leaves the sea. Under the reference to Rev.17:3 we have addition, that a beast is CRIMSON. The beast residence is wilderness. Under the reference to Rev.20:2 we have instructions, that the dragon is Satan. For the further explanation we will take advantage of the words of Angel which has been written down in Rev.17:1 - the great whore sits upon a scarlet colored beast, but Angel has told: « Upon many waters ». Angel has explained, that waters are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues that is the kingdom upon Earth, Dan.7:23 which the Satan owns means. Other name of this kingdom is the SCARLET COLORED BEAST. According to conception of specified above« peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues » - they exist in itself, but we understand, that behind their activity (outwardly as if independent) there is red dragon. As already it has been shown above (section 20 see) the beast head (or the mountain, see Rev.17:9) designates the peoples, and kingdom, or a city. So, the kingdom of the dragon has 7 main cities. It can be capitals of seven various nations, each of which formed the country, and these 7 countries (together with the beast kingdom) makes the union of the states.

The first kingdom on the Earth, uniting all people wherever they lived, was kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, Dan.2: 37,38, the king of Babylon, Dan.1:1. After that kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar has been divided, God has finished it, and the kingdom has been given to the Medes and Persians, Dan.5:18, 22, 24-28. This is second big kingdom on the Earth. It has been shown to Prophet Daniel in vision in a form of the ram having two horns (or kings), Dan.8:20. Subsequently this ram has been stroked, was cast down and crushed (see Dan.8: 5-7) by some he goat, that is by the king of Greece, Dan.8:21. Greece also became the third big kingdom on the Earth (shown to Prophet Daniel in the form of a leopard, Dan.7:6). At last, it has been shown to the prophet Daniel and last, fourth kingdom (Dan.7: 7, 23) after which the power will be given to the people of the saints of the most High, Dan.7:27. This fourth beast has been shown as well to apostle John in Revelation visions, Rev.13:2. As it is visible from this place of the book of Revelation, the fourth kingdom consists of parts of the kingdoms which were before it. As already it has been shown above, four big animals mean: similar to a lion - the Babylon kingdom. A bear - Medes-Persian. A leopard - the Greek state. Proceeding from this symbolic, verse Rev.13:2 can be written down so: «And the Kingdom which I saw was like unto the Greek state, and his feet were as the feet of Medes-Persian kingdom, and his mouth as the mouth of the Babylon kingdom: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority». Not opened here there are two words: "feet" and "mouth".

About BEAST FEET. Its feet there have copper claws, Dan.7:19. By feet the beast trampled on the rests, Dan.7:7, trampled and broke all Earth, Dan.7:23. But the Lord should destroy them which destroy the earth, Rev.11:18. “To come" is in prophetical sense means «be at war», Dan.8:6. “To stamp" means to smote, win, Dan.8:7. The sanctuary and the host (or troops) will be stamped (or trodden under foot of beast, Dan. 8:13). The concept "army" or "troops" will be generalization of all these places of the Holy Writings about feet. Thus, beast feet mean an army of this fourth kingdom considered by us, and an army rather strong.

2. About the BEAST MOUTH. In the mouth are the big iron teeth, Dan.7:7, the beast devours with a mouth and breaks; the beast mouth are the that mouth speaking haughtily, Dan.7: 8,20. With this mouth the beast made war against the saints, Dan.7:21, Rev.13:7, devoured all earth, Dan.7:23, against the most High he will say words and shall wear out the saints of the most High, Dan.7:25, Rev.13: 5-7. The saints (that is Christians) «shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Then judges will sit and will take away his dominion to consume and to destroy (the people of God) unto the end», Dan.7:26. Time, when the dominion of antichrist to exterminate the holy Christians will be taken away, corresponds to the beginning of term of flight of the woman, and it has already been specified in the end of section 14. The beast is mentioned and in Dan.11:36 («he shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods»). Listed above line of the beast difficultly give in to generalization. It is: Extraordinary bloodthirstiness, cruelty, arrogance, intolerance to sanctity, irrepressible capture of the lands, blasphemy, oppression and destruction of the saints. With the account told, verse Rev.13:2 can be written down so: «And the Kingdom which I saw was like unto the Greek state, and his armies were as the armies of Mede-Persian kingdom, rather strong, treading under foot all earth, and his unusual bloodthirstiness, cruelty, arrogance, intolerance to sanctity, capture of the lands, blasphemy, oppression the saints as the of Babylon kingdom: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority».

Section 22  ABOUT THE MYSTERY OF THE BEAST

First of all, we will specify, that it is a question of the beast «having seven heads and ten horns», Rev.17:3. Here, in 17th chapter, it is spoken and about the mystery of the beast, Rev.17:7. One of the beast signs: it is crimson (or scarlet colored), Rev.17:3; it is one of shades of red color). In Rev.12:3 about the same beast, having the same seven heads (and with the same 10 horns) it is told, that it is red. About the beast it is spoken doubly: as about the country, Rev.17:9, and as about the king, Rev.17:10. Beast heads are cities of the peoples (see section 20), those cities of the nations that are mentioned in Rev.16:19. Not too it is a lot of in the world of the countries which have received the name "red". That circumstance that the given kingdom consists of seven allied states (or of “seven heads”) too clears up. And 10 "horns" of the beast are well distinguished too. That 10 horns are meant as 10 kings, it is told just here, in Rev.17:12. Since the given kingdom began to be called "red", in it 10 governors are. The statement for that the beast (that is the given red kingdom) «was, and is not», Rev.17:8, speaks about the termination of existence of this state (and about renewal of its existence already in other kind). But in history of the "red" state is and the specified moment: so, publicly, in mass media, it has been declared (besides not so long ago) the termination of its existence, then it exists already in other kind (in the form of the union of seven states). As about the beast it is spoken and as about the king, Rev.17:11 in this case means itself antichrist (in the kingdom of a red dragon he is the eleventh under the account, Dan.7:8). The specified state of the beast is named by «rising up out of the sea», Rev.13:1. As "sea" (and in general - water) in the Holy Writ is understood as peoples and the nations (Is.57:20, Rev.17:15) the given state (after the existence termination in a former kind) «rises up out of the sea», that is will be transformed (is transformed, integrated, etc.) into much big the union of the states, in this case into Empire of antichrist, which power is 42 months, Rev.13: 5-8.
