The First Beast/Babylon Rising

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast

Rev 13:1-3

This beast in Revelation is called the “first beast” (Rev 13:12) and is represented as a 10 horned, composite beast because it is a composite of nations. It arises to prosper for the same length of time as the little horn in Daniel’s vision that also blasphemes God, persecutes the saints and rules over the 10 horns representing the remnants of the fourth dragon-like beast (Dan 7:24-25). So we should look for the rise of the first beast as the power of the fourth beast wanes. John the Revelator tells us that this first beast was to receive a mortal wound, but would later be somehow healed and all the world would wonder at its resurrection. The mark of the beast will be enforced.

In Daniel’s vision the four beasts represent a succession of world leading kingdoms. The first kingdom in the sequence is Babylonian in character while the final fourth kingdom is a republic that towards its collapse, completes the cycle by repudiating its founding principles and assumes the character of the first beast. That sets the stage for a reincarnation of the first beast again and a repeat fulfillment of the four kingdoms. The very first kingdom was Nimrod’s Sumer based at Babel (circa 2500BC), the fourth one was Assyria that towards its end relocated its capital from Nineveh to Babylon and adopted the worship of the Babylonian god Bel. The first kingdom was then reincarnated in Nebuchadnezzar’s neo-Babylonian Empire (600BC) and the fourth one was the pagan Roman republic which became an empire, accepted Catholicism and relocated its capital. Upon its fall, the first kingdom reemerged in the form of the so-called Holy Roman Empire (also known as the first Reich). The American republic is the fourth kingdom that is in the process of repudiating its republicanism and separation of church and state. Its demise necessarily coincides with the resurrection of the first beast. This is explained in detail in the post about the four kingdoms.

Only the blind can not see that America’s days as a superpower are numbered. Powerful forces from within and without are vehemently driving it to repudiate its own history and republican principles. Private interests have largely destroyed its economic might. It is militarily overextended trying to maintain its hegemonic empire. When the fourth kingdom falls Daniel tells us that in its place a new world order arises consisting of ten kings (Dan 7:23-25) and John the Revelator says:

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. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast… 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.

Rev 17:12-13,17

This Babylonian beast with seven heads and 10 horns in Rev 17 is the same beast as the one in Rev 13. It is the Holy Roman Empire that Napoleon mortally wounded in 1798. Yet it has miraculously been healing, and will soon regain its preeminence. Paul tells us that the man of sin which controls the woman that rides this first beast can not arise until that which “withholds” him from being revealed is “taken out of the way” (2 Thes 2:1-8) America is today in the process of being taken out of the way. As I wrote in my last post the White horse period of American history has come to an end and the red horse is standing in the wings, ready to make its entrance. Its decline begins under the first head of Esdras’ three headed eagle.

The “great reset” promoted by the world economic forum and others is a means to further subjugate America to the interests of the reincarnating Holy Roman Empire that is the European Union. Some in America may try to resist its downfall, but these will ultimately fail, the plans have been laid too deeply for too long. God’s Word will be fulfilled. Depending on the outcome of the presidential election, America will either succumb willingly or be forced to do so. Without realizing it, in the interim, since 1945, America’s might has been used to further the interests of the European party, heal its wounds and reestablish is might. It will continue to do so until America is no longer needed. That time is drawing near.

I am not suggesting that the EU and its leaders are in control of the USA. It is important to note that the first beast does not act of its own volition but is just a vehicle for the harlot Babylon. Likewise the EU and its leaders are just accessories in this geopolitical game. They are neither aware of the whole game plan nor are they in a position, by themselves of bringing it about. The plan to raise the EU at the expense of the USA, is beyond their limited scope. Similarly the kings of the old Holy Roman Empire were just middle managers to the real power behind the scenes. On the other hand the ambitions of the harlot Babylon is not limited to the EU, she has global reach and seeks power over all the nations.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Rev 17:8; 18:3

This plan to make the EU the world leading nation is becoming more visible to astute students of geopolitics. In the context of Russian -European -American relations a recent article by Tom Luongo from the Gold Goat’s and Guns blog, lays it out. He says:

Glenn Deisen writing for RT chalked this up to Germany’s plans for domination. He rightly sees Germany using Russia to get what it wants in Europe.

…They know that the incoming Great Reset, which will have its Jahr Null event in Europe likely next year, is all about consolidating power into Europe and sucking it away from the U.S., a process Trump is dead-set against….

And what’s been pretty clear to me is Europe’s delusions that it can subjugate the world under its rubric, forcing its rules and standards on the rest of us, including China, again allowing the U.S. to act as its proxy while it tries to maintain its standing.

I know what you’re thinking. That sounds completely ludicrous.

And you’re right, it is ludicrous.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. This is clearly the mindset we’re dealing with in The Davos Crowd. They engineered a mostly-fake pandemic to accelerate their plans to remake the world economy by burning it down.

The plan itself may seem ludicrous and the actuality of it being brought about even more so, but, the prophecy says it will happen. It won’t happen overnight because a 150 year old plan can afford to wait a little longer, but the game is clearly in play.

Update Nov 3, 2020: If there was any doubt about this plan Alastair Crooke via The Strategic Culture Foundation, provides some more details:

Germany just offered Washington ‘a sweetheart deal’ in which, Europe – with Germany leading – accepts to leverage America’s full-spectrum strategy of isolating and weakening Russia and China. And in return it is asking the U.S. to acquiesce to German leadership of a ‘power-political’, European entity that is raised to parity with the U.S. That, bluntly, is to say, Germany is angling for ‘superpower’ status, atop an EU ‘empire’ for the new era. Putin recognised such a possibility (Germany aspiring to be a superpower) during his recent speech to Valdai.

That sounds ominously like a push to establish a fourth reich, which implies that the same hidden hand behind the premature and abortive third reich is still active. This time the harlot Babylon that rides the first beast will succeed in bringing her beast to world power. For now, the identity of the harlot is not important, astute students of history will know it. More important is correctly identifying the mark of this first beast, but we will leave that discussion for another time.

So now you know who has been pulling the strings behind the scenes and who stands to gain when America eventually falls. More importantly you know that the mark of the beast is near and a time of trouble is at hand and that the Lord’s return is near. How will you fare?
