In verse 9, everyone who has ears is invited to hear. This instruction reminds us of an expression often used by the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:15, Mark 4:23, Luke 8:8). The expression means that everyone is invited to pay attention to the message and to obey. Now then, what is the message? "If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes...

Interpretation of The Beast from The Sea
Keeping in mind that Daniel’s fourth kingdom is Rome, the sea from which John's beast arises is probably the Mediterranean Sea, to which Rome and Israel had access. In Revelation 17:5, we are told that the sea represents nations, and the sea also plays an important role in Revelation 18:17. It is also likely that the Mediterranean is the Great Sea of which Daniel 7:2 speaks. Moreover, it is likely that the beast from the sea in Revelation is Daniels’ little horn. Daniel’s fourth beast had 10...

Revelation makes reference to the seven churches in Roman Asia (Turkey), to the Euphrates River (which runs from Turkey through Syria and Iraq), to Jerusalem (Israel), and even to B...

An indication that the beast is a human since the man was created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:27-31) 4. A way to identify the beast’s name by using gematria (when the name of the beast is written in Gre...
chapter 3, the first beast or Beast from the sea is generally considered to be the symbol of Roman hegemony. 1 The phrase from the sea ( %Ë Õ ËÓ ÉÂÌ zÔÔÈÓ ) was traditionally understood to mean from foreign [places].

Nov 17, 2021 · There is much discussion about the identity of the heads and horns. Some believe that the book of Revelation is completely historical.

Apr 24, 2024 · Second, this beast in Revelation will come out from the sea, which represents the Gentiles. So this leader will be a Gentile ruler. He will rule over a ten-nation confederacy. This beast will have great power and authority given to him by the dragon or Satan. The identity of this beast is viewed by many to be the Antichrist.
The beast with ten crowned horns is the Roman empire, as divided into ten kingdoms; the beast with two horns like a lamb is the Roman hierarchy, or body of the clergy, regular and secular. This beast is otherwise called the false prophet; than which there cannot be a stronger or plainer argument to prove that false doctors or teachers were particularly designed.
