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
