Rev 13:1, “Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.”
Originally when I first learned about the Anti-Christ and his rule over the world, I believed it to be worldwide. However upon further study of the scriptures His rule is limited to only ten nations on Earth. Revelations 13:1, states a great beast will rise up out of the sea. The sea here represents people appointing him to power, next we read of 7 heads. These heads, represent 7 different empires that have persecuted Israel in the past and present day. The ten horns represent the nations that have yet to be formed that the Anti-Christ will rule over.
So who are these 10 nations of his rule? The old Roman Empire which will return. Daniel 7:7-8 reads, “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that werebefore it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.”
With the Anti-Christ rulership being such a smaller area as I previously learned, it’s possible that during his reign a majority of the world may not even realize who he is. It’s important that all Believers discern the times that we are living in, so that we may be ready to stand firm for Jesus Christ, Shalom…
