Who is the Beast of Revelation? | Daniel 7, Revelation 13 | Prophecy Bible Study | PROPHECY COURSE

In Revelation 13, we see a terrible beast rising out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. This beast receives worship, blasphemes God and wages war against the saints of the Lamb for 42 months. Who is this beast? And is the beast of Revelation past, present or in our near future? In this lesson, we’ll wrestle with questions like, “Who is the beast of Revelation?”, “When will the beast of Revelation war against the saints?” and “What does the number of the beast, 666, mean?” Our answers begin in Daniel 7. Who is the Beast of Revelation? To determine who John’s beast of Revelation is, we need to look back to the prophet Daniel; he saw the same beast about 600 years before John! In Daniel 7, while in his Babylonian captivity (“During the first year of king Belshazzar’s reign,” around 556 BC), the prophet Daniel dreams of four great beasts emerging from the sea. In verse 17, an angel interprets the dream for Daniel; these four beasts represent four kings and their kingdoms. Since the Jews likened their nation to the earth (having been separated from the sea) and their patriarchal priesthood their guiding lights (think sun, moon and stars), kings and kingdoms rising from the sea indicates these are Gentile kingdoms. In this lesson, we’ll look behind the material to see the ethereal and get a better understanding of the beast of Revelation. Prophecy Course. Bible prophecy made clear.
