         What is the "Seven-Headed Beast" of Revelation?


Much controversy has arisen about the "end times", and the "seven-headed
beast" of Revelation. What happened to the world after Nimrod and Esau?
What had the mystery system of Babylon passed itself off as?

First, as we recall from Birds and Beasts, when the Bible talks about a
"beast" it doesn't automatically mean a derogatory reference, or some sort
of lowly animal, much like the word has been thought of as, today. The
words "Beast of the Field" could quite possibly be the title of a particular
group of people. In Revelation, the word "beast" was even used to
describe good, angelic beings of God (Revelation 4:6-8)! There is another
famous "beast" in the Bible: the Antichrist of Revelation! What would this
terminology mean to our future, and the "beast" who would be this
Antichrist? Lets see.

The book of Revelation clearly refers to the "beast" as a person. It, as far
as Revelation, may be the name of a person, as well as a system of
political and religious influence closely associated with this person.

If we look closely at the verses of Revelation chapters 13 and 17, we see a
"seven-headed beast", one which comes out of the water, and another out
of the earth. We know, in Genesis, the serpent (Nachash) was, "more
subtle than all the beasts of the field" (Genesis 3:1). This implies he may
have been part of this same group of people, or a leader of them, or some
other type of angelic beast. Was there a parallel of this 'beast' back then to
the 'beast' in the book of Revelation?

I personally believe the Biblical verse about life being today as the same as
"in the days of Noah" is so important, in regards to this. When our society
begins to change into the one that parallels the past, it easily adopts the
same ways practiced during the era of Noah:


"And lasciviousness and fornication increased among the children of
Cain, and they had nothing to occupy them except fornication - now they
had no obligation (to pay) tribute (taxes), and they had no prince or
governor - and eating, and drinking, and lasciviousness, and
drunkenness, and dancing and singing to instruments of music... and the
laughter which affordeth pleasure to the devils, and the sounds of the
furious lust of men neighing after women."

    The Book of the Cave of Treasures: The First 1000 Years


The time has now become ripe for the "beast" to make his move, again.
These cultural reflections will be discussed more in Way of Cain. As we
will see, the style of politics, religion and culture of Noah's day was
borrowed, and passed on, up to now; the only thing that changed was how
we look at those in power.

We know that the original serpent (or "beast") in the garden was probably
named Amalek, Nachash and Azazel. We also know, from the garden
story, that Satan "rode" the serpent: he was behind everything the serpent
was saying and doing.

The fallen angels of this day were said to be chained in the depths of hell
for their disobedience (II Peter 2:4). Possibly, Azazel was one destined to
be among them. Interesting enough, in the Bible, there was a demon
named Abaddon in Revelation, who would be released from his chains,
and be allowed to wreak havoc on man as the "beast". Could this "beast"
be the same as the spirit of the actual "beast" that was of old? Could
Azazel be Abaddon? It even says, in Revelation 20:2, the modern "beast"
would be known as that Old Serpent (or "Serpent of Old"), the dragon and
the devil (which, incidentally, comes from the same Hebrew root as the
word Nachash does). If this serpent is indeed the same angelic being as the
serpent of old, then we may have another parallel - this same "beast" of
the garden now allowed to make one last attempt to seduce mankind.

As we recall, in Genesis, we have two "beasts" - Satan and Nachash (the
serpent). In Revelation, we have two "beasts" as well. I believe these two
"beasts" are the above mentioned systems of influence, a parallel to these
two "beasts" (or fallen angels) in the garden. One "beast", or system of
influence, comes from the "sea" (the political sea), the other comes from
"earth" (the world of religion). Interesting, these seem to parallel Satan,
and his "riding" of Nachash in the garden. According to Revelation, the
religious "beast" will also "ride" the political "beast" (Revelation 13:12), and
tell him what to do or say.

Both of these future "beasts" have seven heads. What would, then, be the
seven heads that describes this modern beast? Apparently, it all comes
back to Babylon. Lets see more.

Apparently, there is a lot more to this than most would believe, or know.
The chosen people of God, those destined to carry on the seed of the first
Adam to the last "Adam", were obviously the Israelites. Abraham, the
father of many nations including the Israelites, was given a covenant, or
promise, by God, that through him would come the prophesied seed of
Jesus.

According to ancient sources, Abraham, himself, was imprisoned by the
leader of this original Babylon: none other than Nimrod himself! Along this
vain, the seven-headed beast, as we shall see, quite possibly are none other
than the succeeding "heads" to Nimrod's Babylon, the number of Gentile
"heads of state", or "empires", who imprisoned, ruled, or had some sort of
upper hand over the Israelites. Beyond Nimrod's rule over Abraham, the
influences and system that began in this primary system were passed on,
through seven succeeding "heads of state", up to today.

Jacob, Abraham's grandson, had his named changed by God to "Israel".
He was the father of this promised nation. Jacob and his 12 sons (the
"twelve tribes of Israel") were imprisoned by the Egyptians. We can
conclude that Egypt was succeeding "head" number 1. Since then, the
children of Israel have been taken captive by 5 other "heads of state", or
empires: the Assyrians, the Babylonians (a later Babylonian empire, under
the king known as Nebuchanezzer), Media/Persia, Greece and Rome. The
total now is 6 "heads".

Interesting, the same "proof" for this theory lies in the book of Daniel. In
Chapter 8, Daniel stated there would be four empires which would lead up
to the end times since his day: Nebuchanezzer's Babylon, Media/Persia,
Greece and Rome. Again, the same last four as above. The other two were
the Egyptians and Assyrians, before Daniel's time.

There eventually are seven "heads", we know. By the time the book of
Revelation was written (around Jesus' time, approx. AD. 70), there were
already six in place:


"And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is..."

         Revelation 17:10 KJV


Before we find the seventh, we need to discover that there are also two
distinct group of "heads" - one for the political "beast", the other for the
religious "beast".

As far as the political "beast", we have the "heads of state" in this verse:


"And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, the other is not
yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space."

         Revelation 17:10 KJV


"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly
wound was healed..."   

          Revelation 13:3 KJV


What does this mean? Simply, one "head", or empire, was wounded as if it
were dead, but it became healed, or revived again. As we recall, the last
(and 6th) head of Daniel's prediction was Rome. The 6th "head" that ruled
over Israel at the time of Revelation was none other than Rome. Could this
be the "head" that was wounded, and revived?

After the rule of Rome finally died, the nation of Israel was disbursed, not
to become a nation again for almost two thousand years. In 1948,
however, the nation of Israel was, once again, re-established, as well as
one other thing: the influences of this same city of Rome.

The European Union was established around the same time as Israel was.
This all went down with the "Treaty of Rome". The nation which now
encompasses Rome (Italy) was one of the founding countries of this
European Union. This treaty formed a conglomerate of nations, those
nations that became, in actuality, the "revived" or "healed" political empire
of nations Rome once held, thousands of years ago. Here, the seventh
"head" of the political "beast" is the sixth head that was "wounded to
death", but was "healed" or "revived" - we now have a "revived Roman
Empire", head number seven, fashioned and beginning at the Treaty of
Rome.


" ...and when he cometh, he must continue a short space."

        Revelation 17:10 KJV


The 7th head, at the time when the Revelation was written, was not yet
come, but when he comes, the Bible says he must continue a short space.
The European Union has only been in existence some 50 years, a far cry
from the hundreds of years other empires of the past were in control.

This last conglomerate of nations will, according to the Bible, be held
together by "clay" (Daniel 2:43); this means it will be a group of
independent nations held together in much the same way objects would be
held together by clay - together, but not solidly. The whole European
Union is, today, held together in exactly that same way, a fragile agreement
between these countries, at best.

As far as the seven-headed religious "beast", things are a little different:


"And here the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads
are seven mountains, on which the woman (or whore) sitteth."

       Revelation 17:9 KJV


Rome is one of the only cities of the world that sits on seven hills. There is
a verse which makes the meanings of these "heads" clear as day:


"And the woman (or whore) which thou saweth is THAT GREAT CITY,
WHICH REIGNETH OVER THE KINGS of the earth."

       Revelation 17:18 KJV


There was indeed an empire named after that great city. There is indeed an
established treaty, which led to a conglomeration of former Roman lands,
which began at that city. There is also a religion named after that city. The
church of this city will "ride" the political system established at this city,
which happens today. The church has been a huge influence over Europe,
throughout the ages. What other system do we have today with that kind of
a set-up? What other empire appears to have been in this way "revived"?

We begin to follow the "beast", the parallel to the ways of the past, when
we begin to follow the societal, political and belief changes of those in
charge of Western European influence. This was the "torch" of Roman
influence being passed on, ultimately from mother Babylon, to the Roman
Empire, to its present authority.

We recall from Legacy of Nimrod, Esau's descendants would go on to
form the Edomites, which would eventually form into a major empire -
Rome! It all makes sense, when you think of this rivalry on a large scale.
Jacob (or Israel) was Esau's brother. Israel's descendants will be at odds
with Esau's Roman descendants. It was that way all throughout history,
from the conquering of the Holy Land by the Romans at the time of
Christ, to the Crusades of the Roman Church, to today. That's why God
really hated Esau. Israel and Rome will always be at odds for this very
reason: their origins.

As stated earlier, Esau, probably, had control of the clothes of Adam, and
passed it on through his generations. You ever wonder why Rome has
such a dominating hold, or majesty, over the world? Why are so many
people attracted to the influences of this city? This could be the reason.

Beyond the political, religious and cultural influences that originated in
Babylon, and passed on to Rome, we now have an actual "torch" of
Babylon's political dominance (the clothes), first used by Nimrod, which
may have also been passed on to Rome.

We know about the brother of Israel, what about the rest of the influences
of the "days of Noah"? The Kenites, as we recall from Other Flood
Survivors, were the serpent's post-flood descendants (through Cain). The
Kenites had a very special role in the development of Israel, as well. In the
book of Deuteronomy, the Kenites were once said to be scribes to the
ancient priests. Later, as time went on, they slowly assimilated into the
priestly duties of the children of Israel: much like a ball-boy inserting
themselves as a real baseball player.

It was the legacy of these Kenite priests, up to the time of Jesus, who were
responsible for stirring up the people, and causing him to be crucified on
the cross. This is what truly fulfilled the prophecy of Genesis 3:15: the
seed of the serpent (the Cainite/Kenite priestline) would bruise the heel of
this seed of Eve (Jesus). They would have Jesus crucified, but he would
rise again on the third day, and bruise the head of what the serpent
brought to the world - death. The culture started by the descendants of
Cain would also go on, to further influence the world.

The other groups of pre-flood people were involved in immoral and
sacrilegious practices as we know. Although the giants of the pre-flood
world were eliminated from the world by Joshua and other leaders of the
day, we may possibly have influences that were first practiced by them, as
in ancient cities such as Sodom and Gomorrah. The giants, among other
groups such as the Remes that Creepeth, may have settled in these areas,
and passed on a variety of sexual and immoral practices that come from
the society before the flood.

These ways are truly coming back to us, into our society, in much the
same ways as before, just as Jesus predicted. They come via many
cultural, political and religious channels. There is so much more on this in
my upcoming book, which takes a good, hard look at the "parallels" of
these two ages, and who is bringing it all back.

For now, however, we are told where this system of influence has its
origins:


"And upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH."

       Revelation 17:5 KJV


Now, we know the post-flood origins of these problems and tribulations
that face our world, and what will be the "parallel" system of influence to
come. We know how those leaders of ancient Babylon stole the concept of
Genesis 3:15 ("it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel"),
which was the prophecy of Jesus' eventual coming and sacrificing himself
for our sins, and used it to their own benefit. It was replaced by Nimrod's
supposed "martyr", which made him the pre-Christ "savior". This clearly is
why the "beast" of our end-times will be called Antichrist - the prefix
"anti" means, "close, but the opposite". The Antichrist appears to be like
Christ, but is not.

This is the false duplication of God's prophecy, the false views on politics,
religion and culture that looks Christ-like, but leaves him (and God) out
of it!

Now, you notice, today, there is so much talk about seemingly good moral
goals, such as "peace" or "safety", which end up being hallow, or secular.
People press for the peace and safety that would come from God, without
any reference to God! The scariest verse in the Bible, in my opinion, is
along the lines of these hollow, godless desires:


"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as
a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them..."

          I Thessalonians 5:3 KJV


These godless, "copy-cat" ways of thinking and acting that had it's origins
in Babylon should not be taken lightly, but ultimately exposed for what
they really and truly are - the "copy-cat", Babylonian version of Biblical
thought and morality.

There is only one who fulfilled this prophecy:


"But he (Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed."

      Isaiah 53:5 KJV


Only one.

The answer does not lie in pointing fingers at any one group, or blaming
any person, place or thing for what they do, but understanding what are
the politics, religion and culture that were first brought back, after the
flood, that were in "the days of Noah". Ultimately, this helps us increase
our own power of discernment, to not allow any of this to manipulate the
way we live our own unadulterated, lives today.

The Way of Cain will go even deeper.
