with seven
heads and ten horns

A Great Image
(Dan 2:31-35
KJV)
v.31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. v.32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, v.33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. v.34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
|
(Dan 2:36-37 & 39-41 KJV) v.36
This is
the dream; and we will tell the interpretation
thereof before the king. |
(Dan 2:42-43
KJV)
v.42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. v.43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. |
(Dan 2:44-45) v.44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

THE
CHURCH, God's Kingdom
(Mat 13:31 - 32 KJV) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. |
(Mat 13:37-43) He answered and said unto
them, He that soweth the good seed is the
Son of man; The field is the world; the
good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but
the tares are the children of
the wicked one; The enemy that
sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
|
God's church is God's
kingdom on earth

(Dan 8:1, 3,
5-9 KJV)
v.1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. v.3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. v.5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. v.6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. v.7 And I saw him "he goat" come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. v.8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. v.9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. |
(Dan 8:21 KJV)
v.20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. v.21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. |

Four Great Beasts
(Dan 7:2, 3 KJV) v.2 Daniel
spake and said, I sawin my vision
by night,
and, behold, the four winds of the heaven
strove upon the great sea.
v.3 And four great beasts came up from the sea , diverse one from another. |
(Dan 7:17 KJV) These great beasts, which are four, are
four kings, which shall
arise out of the earth.
|
(Dan 7:4-8
KJV)
v.4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. v.5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. v.6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. v.7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. v.8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
(Dan 7:19 - 25 KJV)
v.19
Then I would know
the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse
from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose
teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass;
which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the
residue with his feet;v.20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. v.21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; v.22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. v.23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. v.24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. v.25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. |

WhereFore Didst thou Marvel?
(Rev 17:7
KJV)
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 17:8 KJV)
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. |
(Rev 17:9
KJV)
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. |
Mountains, in
the prophets are
symbols of world powers |
(Zec 4:7 KJV)
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. |
(Ezek 34:13, 14
KJV)
v.13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. v.14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. |
(Rev
17:9
- 13 KJV)
v.9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. |
v.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. |
v.11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition. |
v.12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the
beast. |
v.13 These have one mind,
and shall give
their power and strength unto the beast. |
(Rev 17:15 - 18 KJV) v.15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. |
v.16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. |
v.17 For God hath put in
their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree,
and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the
words of God shall be fulfilled. |
v.18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the
kings of the earth. |
(Rev 11:8
KJV)
And their dead
bodies shall lie in the street of
the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also
our Lord was crucified.

desolate. |
