nation-state. <strong>The</strong> 10 nations led by the 8 th king, antichrist the beast 666, constitutes<br />

the 4 th kingdom of Daniel’s vision.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scarlet colored beast is described in Revelation 17:3 as full of names of<br />

blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.<br />

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet<br />

coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.<br />

Note that the 10 horns are crownless here, but are crowned in Revelation 13:1.<br />

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads<br />

and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.<br />

(Revelation 13:1)<br />

This is because Revelation 17:16-18 teaches that the 10 horns aren’t given power to<br />

rule world-wide with the 8 th king, the antichrist beast 666, until the superpower is<br />

destroyed by these 10 kings.<br />

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make<br />

her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their<br />

hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God<br />

shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, wh ich reigneth over the kings<br />

of the earth. (Revelation 17:16-18)<br />

Symbolism of the 7 heads<br />

Why does the scarlet colored beast have 7 heads?<br />

As mentioned in chapter 2, Revelation 17:3 and 17:9-13 show that the 7 heads of<br />

the beast represent 7 kings and their kingdoms.<br />

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet<br />

coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:3)<br />

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. <strong>The</strong> seven heads are seven mountains, on which the<br />

woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;<br />

and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is<br />

the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are<br />

ten kings, which have received no kingdom a s yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the<br />

beast. <strong>The</strong>se have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (Revelation<br />

17:9-13)<br />

Those 5 past kings are considered by many Bible prophecy teachers to be the<br />

Egyptian (3100-1491 BC); Assyrian (884-612 BC); <strong>Babylon</strong>ian (612-539 BC); Medo-<br />

Persian (539-331 BC); and Grecian (331-44 BC) Empires. Because the prophet<br />

Daniel wrote of 4 world kingdoms in his visions recorded in Daniel 2 and 7, not 7 or 8
