My Vision on Revelation 17
In the early morning
hours of this March 23, 2013, I was taken in vision regarding the players in
Revelation 17. I had been supplicating the Lord Jesus for answers on this
important prophesy so that His people might be well informed on all the
implications of this chapter of Holy Writ. Here is what I was shown.
The mountains upon
which the woman sitteth is seven great powers; and as the mountains are heads
of the beast, they are symbolic of the seven greatest POWERS in the world.
Religion is a great power in the world for men have always fought and died to
preserve the integrity of what they believe about their religion.
The word mountains is
figurative as in Revelation
6:14; Revelation
16:20. See also Isaiah
2:2, Isaiah
2:14; Jeremiah
51:25; Daniel
2:35, etc. wherein the word mountains is
emblematic of a great power.
Satan was given domain
over this earth to prove whether his or God’s way is the best. Satan is the
beast of Revelation 17:6, which was prominent in heaven, then “is not” by being
cast out of heaven, and yet still is by dwelling in the bottomless pit from
which he emerges at the end-time.
“The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in
the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast
that was, and is not, and yet is.” Revelation 17:6.
As Ellen White said, there are
often more than one interpretational meaning to many scriptures and to say that
there is only one is not actuated by the Holy Spirit.
Deeper Meanings
of Scripture
"To say that a passage means just this and
nothing more, that you must not attach any broader meaning to the words of
Christ than we have in the past, is saying that which is not actuated by the
Spirit of God." E.G. White, Review and Herald, 10-21-90.
"It is impossible for any human mind to
exhaust even one truth or promise of the Bible. One catches the glory from one
point of view, another from another point yet we can discern only
gleanings." E.G. White, Education, p. 171.
The seven heads on the 10 horned
beast, are also the seven major “faces of Satan” as reflected in the seven
major religions of the world. They constitute the Synagogue of Satan, and are
the counterfeit of, and counterpart to, the seven eyes of the Lord in
Revelation 5:6
Zec 4:10 “For who hath despised
the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in
the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD,
which run to and fro through the whole earth.”
Rev 5:6 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”
The
Royalty Symbols of the Synagogue of Satan--The Seven Heads, Ten Horns, Seven
Crowns, Ten Crowns
Rev 12:3 “And there appeared another wonder in heaven;
and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his
heads.”
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy. Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst
thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the seven
heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:9 And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.
The
meaning of the Symbology of the Heads, Horns, Crowns and Mountains
In my first vision on Revelation 17, I was shown that
the seven heads were representative of pagan religions. In my last vision on
Revelation 17, I was shown the kingdoms represented by the seven heads and I
have associated them with their respective religions below. Some thought I had
erred in associating the pagan religions with the seven heads, but not so. It was those pagan
religions that were an integral part of the seven heads, making them “of the
eighth,” the confederacy of the Synagogue of Satan. Thus, the seven heads (kings,
kingdoms, subjects, and pagan religion(s), cannot be separated and still
constitute the confederacy of Satan.
1.
Egypt: Ancient
Egyptian religion was a complex system of polytheistic
beliefs and rituals which were an integral part of ancient Egyptian society.
2.
Assyria: The ancient Assyrians
were pagans, which means they worshipped many gods. Each god or goddess
represented a different thing.
3.
Babylon: All false religions
began in Babylonia
4.
Persia: Zoroastrianism. The ancient pre-Islamic
religion of Persia
5.
Greece: Polytheism--The major gods and goddesses:
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus,
Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia and Hera.
6.
Rome: Roman Catholism has
adopted paganism from all of the other 5 heads that reigned before her.
7. United States: Apostate
Protestantism. The Lamblike Beast that clasp hands with Rome to speak like a
Dragon.
· The seven crowns upon
those heads represent the representative leaders of those religions, such as
Mohammed, Buddah, etc.
· The ten crowns refer
to the leaders of the ten divisions of the world as divided by Satan’s Elitist
Overlords.
· The seven mountains
symbolize a number of different things: 1. Primarily, at the very end of time,
the seven mountains refer to the seven mountains Jerusalem is built upon and
from whence the final antichrist will rule. 2. Secondarily, they refer to the
seven hills the Vatican is built upon.
Satan’s New World Order will involve a return to the
feudal system. Satan’s Lords (the elite who own and control the world banking
system) divide the world into ten divisions, thus the ten horns. The principle
rulers of the 10 divisions of the world will be family members and/or
confidants of the ruling elite. The
ruling elite will exercise every royal prerogative for one hour with the Beast
of Rome. I asked how long this one hour will be, and was shown that this
will be very apparent to the 144,000 before long. Lord Maitreya will work in
conjunction with the Pope of Rome for the one hour and then the Vatican will be
burned, per Rev. 17:16. Before the antichrist goes into perdition, he will for
a short time:
· Promulgate all laws.
· Exercise the power of
life and death.
· Designate the type of
currency used and control all exchange of services which will involve a credit
and debit system of points with no money exchanged. This gives them full
control and no one will ever be able to amass any form of force against the
ruling elite except raw human numbers.
· Maintain a military
force for their own protection.
· Impose taxes
· Confiscate all land
holdings. No private ownership will be permitted except as they choose to
flatter some.
· Rent land to vassal
slaves in return for their rendered homage, fealty, police and military service
to the “Lord elite.”
The Seven
Kings of Which Five are Fallen, One is, the Other is not yet Come, and the
Eighth
I was shown that the view that seven kings of
Revelation 17 have nothing to do with the Papacy in specific regard to the
erroneous belief taught by some SDA’s who have taught that Pope John II would
be revived as the final Pope—to be the 8th king.
Some apply the seven heads to the eight Popes since
the Lateran Treaty in 1929. This view is taught at the following link: http://www.666beast.net/
The view I present is primary in importance because it
covers many more facets than just the papacy, while being inclusive of the
papacy. But it is necessary to understood all true versions of prophecy. It is
wrong to believe that Revelation 17 deals only with the papacy because the red
dragon beast (Rev. 17) is not the scarlet beast of Revelation 13, which is
Rome.
10 And there are seven kings: five
are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he
must continue a short space.
11 And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:10, 11.
Relative
to the above verses, I was shown that the key to properly interpreting
Revelation 17:9-11, is Daniel's vision in 2:36-49, and that Daniel's
interpretation makes it very clear that we are living in the end-times.
There have been 6 world powers throughout history; namely, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. Revelation 17:10 says 5 kings are fallen and one is, as Rome was still in power during New Testament times when Revelation was written in A.D. 96.
Nebuchadnezzar
was the head of gold (Babylon). Medo-Persia was the breast of silver. Greece
was the thighs of brass. The Roman empire was the legs of Iron. Rome fell to
ruin in 486 A.D. In our day there are no world powers controlling the entire
world, but there are major powers that are new to the world scene.
The
7th king is the United States, the Lamblike Beast.
The 8th
king is Satan (who is certainly of the seven) when He impersonates Christ and
makes himself appear to the people of each false religion, in the person of the
“god” they worship, eg. Mohammed, Budda, etc. He will attempt to appear as
Christ to Christians. He is of the seven before him because he was the father
of and spirit behind them all.
The
above is all that I was shown regarding Revelation 17, this March 23, 2013. The
final interpretation of the book of Revelation will not be known for sure until
the sounding of the seventh angel (Revelation 10:7 and 10:11) when John was
told he must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and
kings. This is a providence of God, so that Satan cannot manipulate the meaning
of Revelation 17:10, 11.
