THE BIBLE IS CLEAR - THE LITTLE HORN OF DANIEL 7 & THE FIRST BEAST OF REVELATION 13 ARE ONE & THE SAME POWER - PAPAL ROME: THE PAPACY!
Rev. 13:1 - "SEA": This represents peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. In Daniel 7:2-3, beast also arise out of the sea. " The waters which thou sawest... are peoples, multitudes, and nations, and tongues." - Revelation 17:15.
"BEAST": The beasts represent kings or kingdoms. - "These great beast shall be the fourth kings." - Daniel 7:17 "The fourth beast shall be the forth kingdom." - Daniel 7:23.
"OUT OF THE SEA": This beast arises from an area where there are many people. This great beast (an earthly government) comes up out of the water, which means out of a well-populated area (Rev. 17:15). You may recall that, in Daniel 7:2-8, Daniel also saw beasts arising out of the sea. Revelation 13 is remarkably parallel to several portions of Daniel 7.
"HEADS & HORNS": Standing on the seashore, John sees this horrible appearing creature arise out of the ocean. Like the fourth beast in Daniel 7, this one also has ten horns. So we know it is in the area that was once ruled by the Roman Empire, which was broken up into ten parts. In addition, it has seven heads. In Daniel 7:8, three of the original ten nations that took over the Roman Empire were destroyed, with seven heads remaining, when the little horn arose and gained great power. So this first beast of Revelation 13 is the same as the fourth beast of Daniel 7:7-8, 19-20, 25, after that little horn arose to power.
"SEVEN CROWNS": He would ultimately reign over the kings of the earth.
"NAME OF BLASPHEMY": This identifies this beast as the little horn power in Daniel 7:20-21,25. (Please read Daniel 7:20-21, 25)
BLASPHEMY - What is included in this "name of blasphemy"? FIRST: It represents blasphemous titles, and claims to be God on earth. SECOND: It claims to have the power to forgive sin, - which only God can do. THIRD: It attempts to change God's Ten Commandments law. FOURTH: It dares to bring pagan rituals, rites, holy days, and errors into the church. FIFTH: It persecutes and slays God's faithful children.
A significant fact is that it would continue to d
