That's good then. So you should be able to explain Revelation 11 to me.
How about the beast with the 10 horns and seven heads? Is that literal?
Sure it is, if you understand what those 10 horns and seven heads Represents.
God Himself fortold what those 10 horns and seven heads Represents throughout
Revelation.
Note God fortells who the Mother of Harlots is throughout Revelation
Chapters 17,18.
Revelation Chapter 11, happens just 3 1/2 days before Christ Jesus returns.
Notice in Rev 11 Verse 7 the beast ascendeth out of the bottomless pit, This being the same beast that comes up out of the earth in
Revelation 13:11. That has two horns like a lamb and he speak as a dragon"
Notice in Revelation 17:10 --"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"
Ok, so who is this king that must continue a short space ?
God fortells who this king is that must continue a short space in Revelation.
In Revelation 11:11, here we find out who this king is, "And they had a king over them which is the angel of the bottomless pit.
Now we found out who this king is, being the king of the bottomless pit.
Now who is this king of the bottomless pit?
Now in Revelation 20:1-3, Here we find that Satan being cast into the bottomless pit.
Seeing that Satan is the only one to ever been cast into the bottomless pit, So the king of the bottomless pit would be Satan himself.
Now back to Revelation 17:10, Notice "he must continue a short space"
Now in Revelation 12:12, Here we find, The devil being cast down to the earth, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time ( space ).
Therefore the king in Revelation 17:10 must continue a short space ( time )
Is the devil ,Satan. That knows he has a short time ( space ).
Notice in Revelation 17:12 ten horns and ten kings, Notice horns in scriptures Represents power and those ten kings have not yet received no kingdom, but will receive power
( horns = power ) as kings one hour with the beast.
Note that these ten kings receive power one hour with the beast, this beast being Satan, and those kings are Satan's kings that will receive power with Satan for one hour.
Notice ( one hour ) what is this ( Hour )?
In Revelation 3:10, God tells what this Hour is.
"Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation"
Here's the ( Hour ) This hour being the hour of temptation that Satan and his kings (Angels) that come with Satan into the world, to deceive by deception the whole world into believing that he is Christ Jesus.
