  16. The secrets of 666 beasts (Rev 13:18)
¤ýÀÛ¼ºÀÚ: admin ¤ýÁ¶È¸: 4076 ¤ýÃßõ: 0

  Rev 13:1, "And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í What does this mean? Again, this was written in parables and symbols. What is "the sea"? And what is "a beast"? How about "ten horns" and "seven heads"? Let's find their mates in the Scripture to see what they mean.

¨ç What is the sea? <People, the saints>
  In Rev 13:1, ¡°a beast coming out of the sea.¡± What does this sea represent? If you look at Rev 17:1, it is said; ¡°the great prostitute, who sits on many waters (sea)", and in Rev 17:15, "The waters (sea) you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.¡± Here, the ¡°waters (sea)¡± stand for peoples, multitudes, and nations. In other the words, in Rev 13:1 can be explained as ¡°a beast coming out of the peoples¡±; ¡°the sea¡± is a symbolic sea, not a real sea, and it refers to a church organization of peoples (saints), namely the church of the Lamb (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) and its saints.

¨è What is a beast? <A false apostle>
  What does "a beast" in Rev 13:1 mean? In Titus 1:12, "liars, evil beasts". Thus, Rev 13:1 can be interpreted as "a beast (an evil liar) coming out of the sea (people, saints, church)". And here, an "evil liar" refers to a false apostle (2 Corinthians 11:13-14). In other the words, out of the sea (people, saints, church) comes a false apostle.

¨é What are ten horns? <Ten false prophets>
  In Rev 13:1, "a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads". What are these ten horns? If you take a look at Daniel 7:20, "I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell; the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully." Here, "a horn that had eyes and a mouth" means it is a man. Thus, ten horns indicate ten men. In Rev 17:12, ten horns are ten kings, and in Jeremiah 4:9, kings are priest and prophets. Therefore, ten horns represent ten prophets. This follows Rev 13:1, "a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads can be summarized as follows: ¡ìInterpretation¡í The sea is <people, saints, church>, a beast is <a false apostle who is a liar>, and ten horns are <ten false prophets>.

¨ê  What are seven heads? <Seven false prophets>
  Let's find out what seven heads, as in Rev 13:1, means by looking up the mates in the Scripture. ¡ìInterpretation¡í In Isaiah 29:10, "The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers)." In this passage, "seers" refer to "prophets". Thus, heads stand for prophets. Therefore, in Rev 13:1, "seven heads" represent "seven prophets", the LORD has brought over them a deep sleep.

 ¡ìSummary¡í Rev 13:1 "I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name." The sea is <people, saints, church>, a beast is <a false apostle>, ten horns are <kings of nations, ten false prophets>, and seven heads are <seven false prophets>. In other the words, under a beast (a false apostle), there are ten horns (ten false prophets) and seven heads (seven false prophets). ¡ìConclusion¡í This message in Rev 13:1 tells us the story, in parable, of what happens around July 1977 in the temple of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) after he died in a prison in January 1976; a beast , together with ten horns, seven heads (17 men) and false prophets, appears and deceives the people (saints) who believe in Second Advent Jesus Christ, depriving of their assets, oppressing the people, and spiritually killing them.

¢Á The dragon gave the beast his power
  Rev 13:2, "The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í What does this mean? The beast (false apostle) is as fast and wild as a leopard. But what about the feet like those of a bear? The feet represents an action and a bear means a foolish person. So, this means that the action of the beast was foolish and not proper. Also, that the beast had a mouth like that of a lion means, just like a lion cruelly kills and devours other animals, the beast (a false apostle) devours the assets and the spiritual lives of the people (saints) of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ). In Rev 13:2, "The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority", the dragon means, as in Rev 12:9, "great dragon, the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray". In 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, it is said; the Satan himself masquerades as apostles (false apostles). Thus, "the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority" means the dragon (false apostle) gave the power and authority to the beast (a man) so that the beast (a false prophet) can reign over the world on Satan's behalf.

¢Á One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound (a false prophet)
  Rev 13:3, "One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í What does this mean? It means one man our of the seven heads (seven apostles) under the rule of the beast (a false apostle) (Rev 13:1) nearly dies but recovers, as the wound heals; a false prophet nearly dies spiritually after being deprived of his assets by the beast (a false apostle) but he recovers, as the wound heals.

¢Á The dragon gave the beast to exercise his authority for forty-two months
  Rev 13:4-8, "Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" The beast was given a mouth to utter proud the words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in the kingdom of heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast; all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world."

His dwelling place,	namely heaven (Rev 13:6) (Church of	Second Advent Jesus	Christ)

 

His dwelling place, namely heaven (Rev 13:6) (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ)

 

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í The above passage has been accomplished in the church of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ). In this passage, the dragon (false apostle, Ezekiel) gives his authority to the beast (Judah who resigned his apostleship to go out to the world and returned to the church) to work for 42 months (3 years and 6 months). Then the beast (false apostle, Judah) returns to the church (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) to exercise the authority for 42 months, opens his mouth to blaspheme God, and is given power to make war against the saints who live in the kingdom of heaven (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) and to conquer them. Afterward, the saints worship the beast (false apostle, Satan, devil) and thus, their names cannot be written in the book of life. In Rev 20:15, it is said; ¡°if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he will be thrown into the lake of fire.¡± Therefore, those who worship the beast (Rev 13:4-8) are spiritually dead, so they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and will be thrown into the lake of fire in the last judgment.

¢Á If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go (a beast, a false apostle)
  Rev 13:9-10, "He who has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í To whom does this passage apply? It applies to the beast (false apostle). A beast (a false apostle) was given authority for 3 years and 6 months and came into God's tabernacle (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ), where he blasphemed God loudly and spiritually captured and spiritually killed the saints of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ). As a result, the beast (false apostle, Judah) deserves death by sword (word). According to Rev 6:1-8, a beast (a false apostle) acts on behalf of Satan, destroying the peace of Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ, causing death of the saints, stealing poor people's assets (the Tenth) with dishonest scales as well as rich people's assets (oil and wine), until the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) opens the fourth seal (Rev 6:1-8). And when the Lord opens the fourth seal (Rev 6:7), the beast turns into a pale horse (real Satan), spiritually killing and stealing the assets of a quarter of the Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ saints, with the power of Death and Hades, together with ten horns and seven heads (17 false prophets). These acts of the beast (false apostle) (Rev 13:1-10) occurred from July 1977 till January 1981. As in Daniel 7:25-26, after a time, times and half a time <three and a half years>, he becomes subject to judgment and loses his power and authority, faces destruction in the end, and leaves the temple of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ).

¢Á Another beast, coming out of the earth (false apostle), second 3 1/2 years
  Rev 13:11-12, "Then I saw another beast, coming 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 its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from the kingdom of heaven to earth in full view of men."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í The above passage means, after a beast (false apostle) was given authority to full Satan's act during the first 3 1/2 year period (from July 1977 to January 1981) as in Rev 13:1-10, another beast (false apostle, Andreas) comes up and exercises authority like the first beast (false apostle). This beast (false apostle, Andreas) has two horns like a lamb, and speaks like a dragon, meaning that it looks meek like a lamb but speaks like a dragon (Satan). And this beast performs Satan's act in the second 3 1/2 years (Rev 11:3-4), and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the head (false prophet) that was wounded to death (Rev 13:3).

¢Á Another beast performs great and miraculous signs (acts of Satan)
  Rev 13:13-15, "And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from the kingdom of heaven to earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í "Another beast (false apostle) that has two horns and speaks like a dragon performs great and miraculous signs, causing fire to come down from the kingdom of heaven" indicates Satan's performance of false miraculous signs (Rev 11:5). The beast also sets up the first beast (Rev 13:3) as an idol (false prophet), and gives him breath, so that it can speak and cause all (saints) who refused to worship the idol to be killed (let the saints' feet to slip).

¢Á What are 666 beasts?
  Rev 13:16-18, "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í Everyone (Rev 13:8) who believe in the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) would be forced to receive a mark, the number of the beast, 666. What does this mean? It means 666 beast gives the word of Satan on the right hand, lays hand on the forehead, giving Satan's seal. And what does "no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark" mean? "Buy and sell" usually means transaction. However, in this passage, it means the beast does not allow any communication with any other people than this 666 beast. In Rev 13:18, it is said; "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Here, what does 666 beast (a man) mean? The number of the beast, 666, has been a riddle that could not be expounded in the past 2,000 years. Only a man with wisdom and insight would be able to solve what the number was about. The only one who can count the number of the 666 beasts (men) is Michael (a prophet), whom the Root of David, the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) is with. If the number were to be counted, 6+6+6=18, representing 18 beasts (18 men). In Rev 13:1, there is a beast, with ten horns and seven heads, coming out of the sea. Let's count the number of these beasts: 1 beast + 10 horns + 7 heads = 18 beasts. These 18 beasts (18 men) are the spiritually the highest Satan and devils. Once people receive mark (hands laid) on the right hand or on the forehead, they become spiritually dead, and will not be written on the book of life, so that they will be subject to last judgment on the last day, and will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev 20:15). Those dragon, a beast, another beast, ten horns, seven heads, 666 beast (18 men, false apostles), and false prophets were appointed as true apostles and prophets, while Second Advent Jesus Christ was alive in flesh. However, after the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) was slain in prison in January 1976, as in Rev 5:9, they violated the law, sinned against the Lord, slipped away, and became vicious beasts (Satan), spiritually killing and depriving assets of the saints, and forcing them receive marks (laying hands - spiritually lethal act) on their right hand or forehead.

¢Á An enormous red dragon (false apostle) and his angels (666 beasts are hurled down)
  Rev 12:3, "Then another sign appeared in the kingdom of heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í Here, "an enormous red dragon" stands for a false apostle, and seven heads/ten horns represent 17 false prophets. These 18 beasts are 666 beast (men) (Rev 13:18), and great dragon, ancient serpent, devil, Satan are who leads the whole world astray (false apostles) and their angels (false prophets) (Rev 12:9). These 18 beasts (666 beasts) start their Satanic act in the first 3 1/2 years and in the second 3 1/2 years (for 7 years altogether) from July 1977 in God's dwelling place, the heaven (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) as in Rev 13:6. And they seize the saints of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ), forcing them to receive mark (laying hands) on their right hand and forehead, spiritually killing them, taking assets from them, and do other vicious acts to them. And then in the 7th year, July 15, 1984, they are hurled down by Michael (a prophet) and his angels (teachers). In Rev 12:7-9, "And there was war in the kingdom of heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in the kingdom of heaven. The great dragon was hurled down and ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

 ¡ìInterpretation¡í In the passage above, the kingdom of heaven represents the church of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) (Rev 13:6). There was a spiritual war in the kingdom of heaven (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ). Michael <one prophet> and his angels (teachers) fought with the great dragon (false apostle) and his angels (17 false prophets), expelling the dragon and his angels out of the church (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ). In Rev 12:10-12, it is said; "Then I heard a loud voice in the kingdom of heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice, you the kingdom of heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short." ¡ìInterpretation¡í Above, "the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down" means the great dragon (false apostle) of Rev 12:9 has been expelled. And the winners in the war against the great dragon (false apostle) are the ones who did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death in preaching the good news about the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ); they are Michael <one prophet> and his angels (teachers). They kept the laws of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) and followed the precepts of the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ). In Rev 17:14, "They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." ¡ìInterpretation¡í Here, "they" refer to the winners, Michael <one prophet> and his angels (teachers) in the war against the great dragon (false apostle) and his angels (false prophets) (Rev 12:7-11). In Rev 15:2-3, it is said; "And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps given them by God and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages."

¢Á Interpretation <The victorious Michael and his angels>
  In this passage, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb. Here, beast, his image, and the number of his name refer to the beast (false apostle), image (false prophet), and the number of his name (666 beast) (Rev chapter 13), red dragon, seven head, ten horns represent false apostles and false prophets (Rev 12:3), and the great dragon stands for false apostle (Rev 12:9). The ones (Michael and his angels) who won over these false apostles and prophets stand at a sea of glass (where truth is found), singing the song of Moses the song of the Lamb, thus praising God. If you look at Rev 20:4-6, "I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus Christ and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."

¢Á The victorious will be priests of God and of Christ for a thousand years (ten years)
  The above passage means that those winners (Michael and his angels) who did not worship the beast, his image (666 beast), namely false apostles and false prophets, will have part in the first resurrection and will be priest of God and of Christ for a thousand years. Here, 1000 years is written in parable; you need to compute 1000 years as 10 years. So, Michael (one prophet) and his angels (teachers) became priests and reigned for 1000 years (10 years) from 1990. Now, Satan will begin his act (Rev 20:7-15), and the Lamb, Lord of lords, King of kings (Second Advent Jesus Christ) will spiritually come to us, sitting on a white throne, and will begin his judgment on the world.

¢Á Conclusion
¨ç Many theologians and pastors of conventional churches argue that the place where Revelation chapter 13 is fulfilled will be in European Community. However, their claim is not consistent with the Scripture. They need to understand that it is in His (God's) tabernacle (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ), where this prophecy is fulfilled (Rev 13:6-10).

¨è Spiritual leaders of conventional churches claim that the sea referred in Rev 13:1 is Mediterranean Sea. But this sea is not a real sea, but is, in fact, a symbolic sea; the sea stands for the Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ organization (Rev 14:7, Rev 13:1, Rev 17:1, Rev 17:15, Rev 8:8, Rev 20:13, Rev 21:1).

¨é Pastors of conventional churches argue that the beast referred in Rev 13:1-10 is the prospective president of the European Community (which consists of ten countries), the anti-Christ, who will reign over the whole world, trampling it, blaspheming God, and persecuting saints. However, again, their claim is not consistent with the Scripture. The beast out of the sea (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) is a false apostle, and this beast, a little horn, a false prophet, has been given authority to act on Satan's work for forty-two months (first 3 1/2 years), from July 1977 to January 1981, in God's tabernacle (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ) (Daniel 9:26-27, Daniel 7:25-26, Daniel 12:11, Matthew 24:15, John 17:12, 2 Peter 2:1-3, 2 Corinthians 11:13, Rev 6:1-8).

¨ê Ten horns in Rev 13:1 are claimed as ten countries of the European Community. But this, again, is not correct according to the bible. Ten horns are not kings on earth but represent ten false prophets in God's tabernacle (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ, Rev 13:6) (Daniel 7:20, Rev 12:3, Rev 12:9, Rev 17:9-12, Isaiah 29:10)

¨ë Pastors of conventional churches interpret the seven heads in Rev 13:1 as Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. Their interpretation is not in accordance with the bible. Here, seven heads are not nations, but seven men. Namely, seven heads stand for seven prophets (Isaiah 29:10).

¨ì The dragon as in Rev 13:1-4 is interpreted as a dragon that would really exist in the kingdom of heaven, but this interpretation is biblically wrong. Great dragon, ancient serpent, Satan, devil, the one who leads the whole world astray all represent men; namely false apostles and their angels, who have sinned against God, and thus fell away (Rev 12:9 ~, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, Rev 13:1-4). They should understand that it is in God's tabernacle, namely the kingdom of heaven (Church of Second Advent Jesus Christ, Rev 13:6), where the great dragon (false apostle) is found.

¨í In Rev 13:3, the beast whose one of the heads had a fatal wound is interpreted as the prospective president, the Anti-Christ, elected in the European Community. But this interpretation is not correct. The head refers to a false prophet (Isaiah 29:10)

¨î Theologians and pastors of conventional churches deny that 666 beast number (Rev 13:18) is merely symbolic, and claim 666 number is a bar code number 666, and a computer 666 number, which will be used by the Anti-Christ (the president of the European Community) who will reign over the world and trample it, as a mandatory instrument of all types of transaction (buying and selling of merchandise). They also claim that this 666 number or mark will be grafted into people's forehead or hands, just like a tattoo, so that people without this instrument will be entirely excluded from any kind of transaction and thus they will be starved to death. So, in order to survive, people would be forced to receive this 666 mark from the Anti-Christ. This, again, is not consistent with what God's Scripture says.
  666 beast is a symbol. It represents 18 beasts (men), false apostles, and false prophets. It is by no means a computer number or a mark forged by the Anti-Christ.
  Receiving 666 beast mark means that receiving the words taught by 666 beasts (18 men), false apostles, false prophets, and devils, and being laid hands by them.

¨ï In the past 2,000 years, many Christian leaders on earth have come up with hundreds and thousands of different interpretations. 666 beast has been frequently called as Anti-Christ. And in fact, so many leaders such as Emperor Nero, Mohammed, Roman Pope, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin have been dubbed as Anti-Christ. However, no theologians, in the entire Christian history, could not unravel what 666 beast truly meant. How could they know its secrets? How could they find out the divine fact that the work of seven seal opened by the Root of David, the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) would begin in July 1977? In Rev 13:18, it is said; "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." These secrets are known to only one prophet, who is given the mission by the archangel Michael, whom the Lamb (Second Advent Jesus Christ) is with.
