I hope you are ready for some legit truths because I won’t be as cryptic as per my previous posts as I begin to blast this page with some biblical truths relevant for 2024 and beyond…
Todays post is a certified banger!
Be open to learn, leave your biases at the door, that includes traditions, culture, ideologies, and/or any personal beliefs that could hinder you from really getting to the gems of the post…
I’ll say it again for the stragglers…
leave your OWN interpretations behind you, pray for the leading of the spirit to guide you, be a student, bring your bible and be prepared to potentially….
have your realities reassessed as your eyes begin to open up … [if not already…]
ANY information you may read, and if the shoe fits, just be aware it is not referring to YOU personally, but rather the SYSTEM that it represents…
Ready?
Last chance to make a run for it, cause I won’t be rockabye babying you like “little one” if you don’t like what you read…
Approach it from the perspective of a willingness to submit to what you learn today…
and the understanding that when the biblical principles of studying is applied, there really isn’t a need for guess work, especially when it comes to the biblical truths…
“thus saith the Lord” remember… [don’t look at me mate, read it for yourselves - James 1:22, John 7:17]
oh…
and remember to keep your compass on Jesus if you find yourself too far down the rabbit hole - point blank, period! ..
yes, I’m being serious – “pls leave the kumbaya track on pause nan…this one is awake! ”..
Jesus should be central in ALL your biblical truth seeking because there is merit to this…. [John 5:39]
Enough talk – let’s go…
[hurry along now little “fact checker” ones]

Ok..
Revelation 13 opens up about a beast coming out of the sea with some familiar features as noted in the book of Daniel. But for us to understand who this beast is, and to understand what type of “mark” this particular beast will bear in the near future…
we need to first understand “what” and “who” the beasts are?..
We need to go back to Daniel 7 to help us understand this concept of beasts…
In verses 2-3 of Daniel 7, we see that Daniel is in a night vision, which is just another way of saying dream, he sees “four winds of heaven above a sea: and then shortly after, he sees “four beasts coming out of the sea.” Each having its own unique features and markings…
What does this mean?
in this particular text the following are all symbolic, and you will need the table of keys below, to help you understand some of the symbolic language of both Daniel and Revelation...
Remember the bible when used correctly should unravel and reveal key biblical truths when we allow it to interpret itself…
or, you can be a “cowboy” like some prominent leaders of religion are claiming, that apparently, when they drank from the fountain of elixir of life received a revelation that you only need certain books of the bible, this and that …
which btw won’t help you..
so, ignore those pretenders – if you value biblical AUTHENTICITY, TRUTH and FACTS…
just trying to help ya stay in the game...
copy the following for future reference then continue reading…
_____
PROPHECY SYMBOLIC KEY -
Sea – Represents nations and the collective population of humanity.
[context – Revelation 17:15]
Four winds – Represents war and strife between nations. [Context - Daniel 11:40, Jeremiah 49:36,37 and Jeremiah 25:31-33] – each of those references whirlwinds as “chariots, horsemen and many ships” to illustrate war and also “nations” warring against its “ops” [lingo for opposition little “fc” one]
Earth – Represents nations and or the collective population of humanity
Beast – Represents Kingdoms [Context – Daniel 7:23]
Horn [teeth/tooths] – Kings or kingdoms [Context – Daniel 7:24]
Eyes – Represents or symbolize understanding [Context – Daniel 7:8]
Day – Represents the biblical rule for a “day – 24 hours” equalling a “year – 365 days” in prophetic time periods [context – Ezekiel 4:6]
Woman or Bride – Represents the undefiled church [Context - Ephesians 5:25-27]
Bridegroom – Jesus [Context – everywhere in the bible]
Offspring/Children – Represents the believers and the same is opposite as well. [Context – John 1;12-13, Romans 8:16-17 just some references]
Harlot/Prostitute – Represents a corrupted “for the streets” defiled church system
[context – Ezekiel 16:15-17, Revelation 17:1-2 – also read the story of Jezebel in 1 Kings 16 through to chapter 32 and 2 Kings 9. The symbolism alone will blow your socks of ya rocks.]

ok – lets breakdown what we are seeing in Daniel chapter 7…
Daniel is having a dream, and he sees four beasts that rise up out of the chaotic sea of winds, which the bible makes clear in Daniel 7:17. These four beasts are……four kings, that arise up out of the earth.
Read Daniel 7:4-7 for context before you proceed…
ok - continue…
These four beasts are similar to the kingdoms of the Statue remember back in Daniel 2 which symbolized the kingdoms based on the different metals.
_____
Daniel 2 Statue
Babylon – GOLD, [605 BC – 539 BC]
Medo Persia – SILVER, [539 BC – 332 BC]
Greece – BRASS [332 BC – 63 B.C] and
ROMAN Empire [168 BC – 476 AD

So you are asking “relevance”…
how is this connected to the Sea Beast in Revelation 13 that is depicted like a bear, a lion and a leopard? …
Impatient much aye, sheesh… I’m getting there sister…
_____
BEASTMODE ACTIVATED….
A beast is a Kingdom or a Nation in biblical prophecy… [Context – Daniel 7:23]
Throughout all of history, we associate animals to symbolize different nations. Think kangaroo for Australia, eagle for America, bear for Russia, Kiwi bird for New Zealand, Springbok for South Africa and even the dragon for China…
Beasts represent KINGDOMS and/or NATIONS past, present or future within the biblical narrative and in particular unlocking prophecy truths…
God is using dialect, or lingo that is familiar to everybody….
did you notice that there were also “ten horns” which grew out of the FOURTH beast of Daniel 7 not to mention a “little horn” in particular, which seemed to be running the show…
what’s that all about, you might ask…
Buckle up - the ride is about to get bumpy… you’ll see
follow along closely…
_____
The ten horns in Daniel 7 represents “ten kings” or as we know in verse 24, these ten kingdoms, nations or powers that shall arise “from within” or “out of” the fourth kingdom, which we know to be the Roman Empire…
A quick google or encyclopedia check of history and you will note that the Romans ruled with an iron fist for a whopping six centuries of global dominance and history notes that…
the Northern Germanic Tribes came sweeping down and divided Western Europe into ten parts – seven stand as nations with us today which formulate what we now know as the basis of modern day Western Europe…
It's how you got your soccer tribes and hooligans…anyway back to the topic,
so…
_____
The Ten Horns [Nations/Kingdoms]
- The Visigoths [Spain]
- The Franks [France]
- The Lombards [Italy]
- The Suevi [Portugal]
- The Anglo-Saxons [England]
- The Burgundians [Switzerland[
- The Alemanni [Germany]
- The Ostrogoths [extinct]
- The Vandals [extinct]
- The Heruli [extinct]

Now remember, there is one more little horn that seems to be the pebble in the shoe as to speak...
Seems to be a little bit on the pesky side their lad, “Sir Pocket Rocket” as to speak...
As you read verse 8 and verse 25 of Daniel 7, it indicates that this little one is enacting some true dictator vibes…
Also important to note, that the earthly kingdoms of Daniel 2 [the statue remember..] didn’t end with the fourth beast...
We know this as you read this post in 2024. As per the biblical narrative we are currently living in the times of the iron and toes which is a representation of weaker and stronger kingdoms or world powers where some are stronger [iron] than the others are [clay]…
We evidently see this in our world today, no surprises there…
You’ll also notice, that the rock that destroys this last kingdom would then imply, that the bible is claiming this kingdom or power structure of the toes…
would be the last world kingdom before Jesus [rock] comes back, as per his promise to His disciples “when all is ready, I promise I’ll come back and get you, that where I am, you may be with me as well..” [context - John 14:3]
In regards to the Roman Empire itself - it never actually fell, or was ever conquered by any other single military force or nation…
Instead, it just assimilated into a soaring religious force as per the interpretation of the dream to Daniel in chapter 7 where we read in verse 22 that this religious force will still be active and operational…
yes, all the way through until the end of the known world, or New World Order. [context - Daniel 7:22]…
This is the power that Daniel sees in this eye opening dream, now read Daniel 7:8 real quick for context then lets continue…
So here is the firth Kingdom or power structure represented…
Read closely…
It comes out of the divided Roman Empire - care to take a stab [not literally “adalays”]...
what Kingdom obtained the authority of the Roman Empire as it declined to irrelevance, or so most of the world thought, within the stage of world history...
Only one clear answer, and that is….
The Papal Rome, or better known as The Catholic Roman Church-State.
History books would verify this to be true, all the narratives we learnt and read at school clearly indicates this to be the fact – I mean you can check for yourself after, so settle your nerves,
BUT….
should this theory be questioned by ANY in regards to the biblical texts – God takes it one step further as he lays out the following for us to marvel at…
Are you awake?
If so, continue on to the next post for the TRUTH…
…….
…….
yep, to be continued next post -
