AND I SAW, RISING OUT OF THE SEA, A BEAST WITH TEN HORNS AND SEVEN HEADS. ON HIS TEN HORNS WERE TEN CROWNS AND ON HIS HEADS WERE WRITTEN BLASPHEMOUS NAMES. AND THE BEAST THAT I SAW WAS LIKE A LEOPARD, HIS FEET WERE LIKE A BEAR'S, AND ITS MOUTH WAS LIKE A LION'S MOUTH. AND TO THE BEAST THE DRAGON GAVE HIS POWER AND HIS THRONE AND GREAT AUTHORITY. ONE OF THE BEAST'S HEADS APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN MORTALLY WOUNDED, BUT HIS DEADLY WOUND HAD BEEN HEALED. THE WHOLE WORLD MARVELED AS THEY FOLLOWED THE BEAST. THEY WORSHIPED THE DRAGON BECAUSE HE HAD GIVEN AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST, AND THEY WORSHIPED THE BEAST, SAYING, "WHO IS LIKE THE BEAST?" AND, "WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM?" THE BEAST WAS GIVEN A MOUTH TO SPEAK ARROGANT WORDS AND BLASPHEMIES, AND HE WAS ALLOWED TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY FOR FORTY-TWO MONTHS. HE OPENED HIS MOUTH IN BLASPHEMIES AGAINST GOD, TO BLASPHEME HIS NAME AND HIS DWELLING, THAT IS, THOSE WHO LIVE IN HEAVEN. THE BEAST WAS ALLOWED TO MAKE WAR AGAINST THE SAINTS AND TO CONQUER THEM. AND HE WAS GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER EVERY TRIBE AND PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE AND NATION. AND ALL THOSE LIVING ON THE EARTH WILL WORSHIP HIM, EVERYONE WHOSE NAME HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. IF ANYONE HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR! IF ANYONE IS MEANT FOR CAPTIVITY, INTO CAPTIVITY HE WILL GO. IF ANYONE IS TO BE KILLED BY THE SWORD, BY THE SWORD HE WILL BE KILLED. THIS CALLS FOR THE ENDURANCE AND FAITHFULNESS OF THE SAINTS. THEN I SAW ANOTHER BEAST RISING OUT OF THE EARTH. HE HAD TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB, BUT HE SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON. HE EXERCISED ALL THE AUTHORITY OF THE FIRST BEAST ON HIS BEHALF, AND MADE THE EARTH AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN IT TO WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST, THE ONE WHOSE DEADLY WOUND HAD BEEN HEALED. HE PERFORMED IMPRESSIVE SIGNS, EVEN MAKING FIRE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF EVERYONE; AND BY THE SIGNS HE WAS ALLOWED TO PERFORM ON BEHALF OF THE BEAST, HE DECEIVED THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH. HE TOLD THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH TO MAKE AN IMAGE IN HONOR OF THE BEAST WHO HAD BEEN WOUNDED BY THE SWORD YET LIVED. THE SECOND BEAST WAS ALLOWED TO ANIMATE THE IMAGE OF THE FIRST BEAST SO THAT THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST COULD SPEAK, AND COULD CAUSE ALL THOSE WHO WOULD NOT WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST TO BE KILLED. HE ALSO CAUSED EVERYONE--SMALL AND GREAT, RICH AND POOR, FREE AND SLAVE--TO RECEIVE A MARK ON THEIR RIGHT HAND OR ON THEIR FOREHEAD. AND NO ONE WAS PERMITTED TO BUY OR TO SELL UNLESS HE BORE THE MARK, THAT IS, THE NAME OF THE BEAST OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME. THIS CALLS FOR WISDOM: LET THE ONE WHO HAS INSIGHT CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, FOR IT IS THE NUMBER OF A MAN, AND HIS NUMBER IS SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX.

Israel's fourth millennium, at the very end of which, the Jewish Antichrist will rise out of the Gentile "sea," out of the 10-nation Russian federation and he will take down 3 of its 10 presidents (see Daniel 7:8,24). The remaining 7 will be blasphemers. This empire will be very strong and Satan, the dragon, will give the Jewish Antichrist his power. It appears that he will be killed and Satan will raise him from the dead, causing the whole world to worship the Jewish Antichrist and even Satan, directly or indirectly. The Jewish Antichrist will speak arrogantly and blaspheme and be allowed to gain power over Israel for 42 months, 3 1/2 years, beginning in 2023. He will blaspheme God and those who live in heaven--literal heaven or figurative heaven, Israel. He will make war with the covenant people, the Jews, and conquer them and be given authority over every Gentile nation too. All the reprobate will worship him. At that time, God will be sovereign over those who hear, those who go into captivity and those who are killed. It will be a time for endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints. The False Prophet will rise out of the "earth," Israel, and be, I suspect, either the Prime Minister of Israel or the Jewish High Priest of the fourth temple (after Solomon's, Zerubbabel's and Herod's). Perhaps the 2 horns harken back to Judah and Israel. The False Prophet will appear as gentle as a lamb but speak like the dragon, Satan, authoritatively, blasphemously and deceptively. He will exercise the authority of the Jewish Antichrist and will make the "earth," Israel, and Israelis worship the Jewish Antichrist, the one whom Satan will raise from the dead and possess. The False Prophet will perform on behalf of the Jewish Antichrist supernatural signs, calling fire down from heaven, deceiving the Israelis. He will tell the Israelis to make an image of the Jewish Antichrist who will be resurrected from his fatal knife or sword wound. Perhaps this will be a hologram of the Jewish Antichrist, speaking his words. The False Prophet will kill all Israelis who do not worship the image of the Jewish Antichrist. He will also require all in Israel to receive a financial mark or microchip on their right hand or forehead, without which they will not be able to buy or sell. Those who receive this mark or microchip will essentially receive the Jewish Antichrist and the number of his name. His number is the number of a "man," a figure for a Jew. Man was created at the end of "day" (year) 6, as the Jews will be spiritually created at the end of millennium 6. The trinity of 666 is perhaps representative of the evil trinity of Satan, the Jewish Antichrist and the False Prophet. As well, it predicts the time that the Jewish Antichrist will appear on the world stage. It is a series: 6, 60, 600. 6,000 is the next number in the series, which indicates that the Jewish Anticrist will appear at the end of 6,000 years of human history, which concludes in 2030.
