Who is the first Beast coming out of the Sea
The book of Revelation is not written in a strict chronological order, like a timeline from beginning to end.
Instead, it is a series of visions that John received at different times while he was “in the Spirit.”
Each chapter shows what John saw, but these visions do not always happen one after another in time. Sometimes they go back, repeat, or show the same events from a different perspective.
So, when we read Revelation, we should not always think, “this happened next.” Instead, we should understand that John is describing different visions that together reveal God’s message.
Revelation is not written step by step in time.
John saw different visions while he was in the Spirit.
Each chapter tells what he saw, but not always in time order.
Some visions repeat the same events in a different way.
So we must read Revelation as a collection of visions, not just a timeline.
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
Rev 20:2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
Rev 20:3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Rev 20:4 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 about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who share 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.
Rev 20:7 When the thousand years are over, SATAN will be released from his prison
Rev 20:8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—GOG AND MAGOG—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Rev 20:9 THEY MARCHED across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 AND THE DEVIL, who deceived them, was thrown into The Lake of Burning sulfur, where THE BEAST and THE FALSE PROPHET had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Reading the book of Revelation in the Bible, you encounter references to Magog, Gog ,The Dragon, The Devil, The First Beast, The Second Beast, The False Prophet, The Image set up in honour of The First Beast,
The Dragon or The enormous red dragon represents Magog, The Devil.
MAGOG , THE DEVIL -also known as SATAN , THE SERPANT etc IS LUCIFER THE FALLEN ANGEL. ( I EXPLAIN WHO MAGOG IS IN ANOTHER VIDEO)
MAGOG, THE DEVIL, along with his angels or demons, has been in captivity in THE SEA since The Resurrection of JESUS. currently, Magog remains in captivity but will soon be released, marking the beginning of the tribulation period. It is important to note that after a certain period of time, GOG and some of the demons are released from captivity (The Bible refers to these time periods as 'a thousand years) which is why the world is in such a mess.
Satan, Magog, has been carrying out his deceitful and destructive work through GOG and the other demons.
Let us remember that THE DEVIL IS THE GOD of this world, and as we will soon face MAGOG, the DRAGON himself, it means He will be free from captivity to deceive the human being directly but as he is a Fallen Angel or Demon, He is still an invisible entity. Since human beings are unable to see in the spirit world,
We stand on the threshold of the imminent tribulation period preceding the second coming of JESUS.
(The Righteous Christians, the Church, will experience THE TRIBULATION PERIOD for a duration of three and a half years The Righteous Christians will be taken in Rev 11:15 after the Second Woe
Rev 20:7 WHEN THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE OVER, SATAN WILL BE RELEASED FROM HIS PRISON
Rev 20:8 And will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—GOG AND MAGOG—and to gather them for battle. in number they are like the sand on the seashore.
Rev 13:1 THE DRAGON stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw A BEAST coming out of the SEA. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
The First Beast, Gog, is a demon, an invisible entity the chief angel of Magog. Gog, also represented as, The First Beast. Gog : Is The Chief Angel of Magog .
Since human beings are unable to see in THE SPIRIT WORLD, two things will happen for MAGOG to be able to do his work during the time of THE TRIBULATION PERIOD , there will be a human being called THE FALSE PROPHET aslso described as THE SECOND BEAST and AN IMAGE will be created to make GOG, represented as, THE FIRST BEAST , visible and ‘able to be seen.’
THE QUESTION IS WHY ?
Let us revisit the question of why there are two, THE FALSE PROPHET AND THE IMAGE —performing miracles on behalf of the first beast.? It is because GOD will appoint HIS TWO WITNESSES , two human beings , to perform the miracles on behalf of JESUS .They will do the work like what MOSES did and what ELIJAH did and what JESUS did and even greater things . How amazing are the thoughts and plans of our FATHER GOD, THE ONLY TRUE GOD .
In this teaching, we will uncover three powerful realities happening at the same time:
The rise of the Two Witnesses… The rise of the Beast and its system… And the final warning given to all humanity.
In Revelation 11, God appoints His Two Witnesses—anointed servants who will prophesy with power for 1,260
These Two Witnesses are appointed for a specific time—to prophesy, to perform mighty works, and to stand for truth during a period of great deception and tribulation. They are described as having power over the heavens, the earth, and even life itself.
Rev 11:1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of GOD and the altar, with its worshipers.
Rev 11:2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
Rev 11:3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."
Rev 11:4 They are "The Two Olive Trees" and The Two Lampstands, and "they stand before THE LORD of the earth."
Rev 11:5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm THEM must die.
Rev 11:6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
Rev 11:7 Now when they have finished their testimony, THE BEAST that comes up from THE ABYSS will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Magog, the Devil, along with his angels or demons, has been in captivity since the resurrection of Jesus. Currently, Magog remains in captivity but will soon be released, marking the beginning of the tribulation period. It is important to note that after a certain period of time, Gog and some of the demons are released from captivity (The Bible refers to these time periods as 'a thousand years) which is why the world is in such a mess.
Satan, Magog, has been carrying out his deceitful and destructive work through Gog and the other demons.
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.
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 filled with wonder and FOLLOWED THE BEAST.
Rev 13:4 People 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 wage war against it?"
(an invisible entity)
Rev 13:5 THE BEAST WAS GIVEN A MOUTH to utter proud words AND BLASPHEMIES and to exercise ITS authority for forty-two months.
Rev 13:6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme GOD, and to slander HIS NAME and HIS dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
Rev 13:7 It was given POWER to wage war against GOD'S holy people and to conquer them. AND It was given AUTHORITY over every tribe, people, language and nation.
Rev 13:8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship THE BEAST—all whose names have not been written in THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, THE LAMB WHO was slain from the creation of the world.
Rev 13:9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
Rev 13:10 "If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed." This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people
Rev 13:11 Then I saw A SECOND BEAST, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but It spoke like a DRAGON.
Rev 13:12 IT exercised all the authority of The First Beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship THE FIRST BEAST, whose fatal wound had been healed.
Rev 19:20 But THE BEAST was captured, and with IT THE FALSE PROPHET who had
PERFORMED the signs on ITS behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received THE MARK OF THE BEAST and worshiped ITS IMAGE. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Rev 20:14 Then death and hades were thrown into The Lake Of Fire. THE LAKE OF FIRE IS THE SECOND DEATH.
Rev 13:13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.
Rev 13:14 Because of the signs IT was given power to perform on behalf of THE FIRST BEAST, IT DECEIVED the inhabitants of the earth. IT ordered them to set up AN IMAGE in honor of THE BEAST who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Rev 13:15 The Second Beast was given power to give BREATH to THE
IMAGE of The First Beast, so that THE IMAGE COULD SPEAK and
cause all who refused to worship THE IMAGE to be killed.
Rev 20:4 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 about JESUS and because of THE WORD OF GOD. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. they came to life and reigned with CHRIST a thousand years.
Rev 15:2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over THE BEAST AND ITS IMAGE and over THE NUMBER OF ITS NAME. They held harps given them by GOD
Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before THE LAMB. they were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Rev 7:10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
Rev 7:11 All the angels were STANDING AROUND THE THRONE and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
Rev 7:12 saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
Rev 7:13 Then one of the elders asked me, "these in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?"
Rev 7:14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "these are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood oF THE LAMB.
Rev 7:15 therefore, "they are before the throne of GOD and serve HIM day and night in HIS TEMPLE; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
Rev 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, i saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of THE WORD OF GOD and the testimony they had maintained.
Rev 6:10 they called out in a loud voice, "how long, SOVEREIGN LORD, HOLY AND TRUE, until You judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
Rev 6:11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
Rev 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
Rev 13:17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
This is what the book Revelation is about – the warning not to worship Magog The Devil :
Rev 14:6 Then I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL FLYING IN MIDAIR, AND HE HAD the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
Rev 14:7 HE SAID IN A LOUD VOICE, "FEAR GOD AND GIVE HIM GLORY, BECAUSE THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT HAS COME. WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, THE SEA AND THE SPRINGS OF WATER."
Rev 14:8 A SECOND ANGEL FOLLOWED AND SAID, "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,' which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."
Rev 14:9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships THE BEAST and ITS IMAGE and receives ITS MARK on their forehead or on their hand,
Rev 14:10 They, too, will drink the wine of GOD'S FURY, which has been poured full strength into the cup of HIS WRATH. They will be tormented with …..burning sulfur …..in the presence of the holy angels and of the LAMB.
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship THE BEAST AND ITS IMAGE, or for anyone who receives THE MARK OF ITS NAME."
Rev 19:20 But THE BEAST was captured, and with IT THE FALSE PROPHET who had
PERFORMED the signs on ITS behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received THE MARK OF THE BEAST and worshiped ITS IMAGE. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Rev 20:14 Then death and hades were thrown into The Lake Of Fire. THE LAKE OF FIRE IS THE SECOND DEATH.
THIS IS THE MESSAGE IN REVELATION
DO NOT WORSHIP THE BEAST or THE IMAGE of THE BEAST . That means DO NOT OBEY SATAN - who is MAGOG , THE DEVIL.
IF you are disobedient during this time of testing -THE TRIBULATION PERIOD-then this will be your punishment -THE SECOND DEATH – ETERNAL LIFE IN THE LAKE of BURNING SULFUR
Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to THE FIERY LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR. …..THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH."
