A Study on the Deadly Wound 
 
By Servant of God

Revelation 13 verse 1

Revelation 13:1  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.

sea = waters,  Revelation 17 verse 15  waters are peoples, and nations.
                                                                                                                                          
Now let's go to Revelation 17 for the explanation of the beast, and the heads and the horns giving by an angel.

 
The Beast
 
Revelation 17:7  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.
 
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that 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.
 
There is only one that was sentenced to go into perdition, and that is Satan.  the beast that was (first earth age) is not (Satan bound in heaven now) and yet is (coming as Anti Christ, future)

 
The Heads
 
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.   The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
 
Mountains are symbolic for Nations, these Nations or kingdoms are from the book of Daniel
 
Now these seven Nations on which the woman sitteth started in Babylon down to the fig tree generation. 1948

So we see that there are seven Nations and in the next verse we see that there are seven KINGS of those seven Nations


Lets see who these SEVEN nations are: 

1 Babylon
                                                                       
2 Medo-Persia
                                                                       
3 Greece (Alexander)
                                                                       
4 Rome (Caesar)
                                                                       
5 Mohammedan's took the temple site itself - a.d. 636 to 1948
                                                                       
6 When both the good and the bad figs partake of it, AND CONTROL, with no peace.  You have both entities from 1948 till now
                                                                       
7 Antichrist
                                                                       
8 satan at the end of the millennium



Now these were the Kingdoms (Kings) down through the ages, in Jerusalem (Temple Mount)
 
Revelation 17:10   And there are seven kings; five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not come yet; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
 
So we can see that the first 5 Kingdoms (Kings) have fallen, the 6th is now (the good and bad figs) and the 7th is not come yet and he must continue a short space.
 
Revelation 17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
 
He is the eighth at the end of the millennium.

 
Ten Horns
 
Revelation 17:12  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.
 
These ten kings have crowns and are supernatural and come with Satan.

Additional study material:

adding to this study a few comments of Pastors from his Revelation lecture on this sixth nation to consider:


Rev 17:9
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom (speaking to the elect). The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

"Number 6, in part, is when both the good and the bad figs partake of it, AND CONTROL, with no peace.  You have both entities, that's number 6."

"This is nations, and a group of nations .... the whole world wonders after her, when that force is brought to play upon the people of the world, and it leads to that place.  Watch Jerusalem after the false one is there. That’s where she sits, that’s where the main deception will sit, naturally where satan sits.  Son of perdition."

Rev 17:10
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.

'Don’t try to make 10 kings out of this. For satan goes by many names. We are changing away from a geographical location, we’re going into an entity'.
