CHAPTER I | EPISODE I

 

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Revelation 13:8

 

The imagery of the beasts in Revelation 13 has fascinated and puzzled readers for centuries. Cloaked in vivid and terrifying symbols, this passage has been interpreted in various ways, yet one theme remains clear: the beast represents a powerful force of evil on the earth. As we examine its depiction more closely, we uncover a compelling image of a government under demonic influence, standing in direct opposition to God and His people.

 

This Chapter will explore the meaning behind the beast's imagery, dissecting its features to uncover how it symbolizes a government ruled not just by human ambition, but by dark spiritual forces. By analyzing the ancient symbols found in the Bible, we will draw connections to modern global systems are actively paving the way for this oppressive and blasphemous force.

 

But first, we must discuss the important imagery that is given to us in regard to the beast of the sea

 

 

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.

Revelation 13:1-2

 

Understand this, the imagery that the Apostle John presents of this beast is not just symbolic, but it is also spiritual. Things that take place in the physical world have much different implications in the spirit realm. With this understanding, it is easy to identify that though the beast is a living entity in the spiritual realm, it likely doesn't manifest this way in the natural realm.

 

So, what do the seven heads, and ten horns symbolize for us on the Earth?

 

 

The seven heads are often interpreted as representing seven kingdoms or empires—systems of power that will rise, exerting authority over the world. These heads can also symbolize the completeness of worldly authority, indicating the beast's total dominance in political, cultural, and religious spheres.

 

The ten horns, topped with crowns, are a clear symbol of power and strength. In the bible, horns are used to represent kings and their might (see Daniel 7:24).  The fact that there are ten horns suggests a coalition of rulers or nations unified under the beast's authority. The horns help illustrate the beast as a complex political power that draws its power from various sources.

 

And this doesn’t point to a simple alliance between nations, but instead it indicates complete world domination.

 

 

Although this system promises world peace and deceptive lies about the betterment of the world, it will actually stand in complete opposition to God and all that is good. Revelation specifically mentions that the heads of this beast are covered with blasphemous names. This detail implies that this beast government or system will exalt itself above God, demanding loyalty, worship, and allegiance.

 

This system will not only stand against God, but it will stand against those who refuse to support it.

 

One of the beast's primary functions is to wage war against the saints—those who refuse to submit to its authority. This persecution will bring Satan’s ongoing war against God’s people to a different level. This is because the beast demands worship and seeks to crush dissent, enforcing conformity through economic, social, and political pressure. This imagery warns believer to stand firm in their faith, amid a government under demonic influence; one that opposes righteousness and exalts itself as the ultimate authority.

 

 

This is because this government is under the direct influence of Satan

 

And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

Revelation 13:4

 

The dragon, previously identified as Satan in Revelation 12, grants this beast its power, throne, and great authority. This shows that the beast is not merely a human institution, but instead is a manifestation of Satanic influence over earthly governments. By giving authority to the beast, Satan establishes a government that aligns with his agenda to deceive and dominate humanity.

 

 

The beast’s dominion extends globally, suggesting that it represents more than just a single nation or empire. Its ability to subdue and influence the world once again hints at a unified political system, one that isn't restricted by borders, laws, or personal agendas and unites the entire world under its rule. Historically, empires like Rome have exhibited similar traits, demanded loyalty and imposing their culture and beliefs on conquered territories.

 

In modern times however, the imagery of a global government aligns with discussions of international cooperation, globalism, and centralized control. The beast symbolizes a future political system that, under demonic influence, will consolidate power on a scale never before seen.

 

And we are now seeing this prophecy come to life.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
