Eschatology: Terms and Vocabulary

Introduction

At the close of chapter 10, John was told to eat the little book and to prophesy about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.

In chapter 11 John wrote about the rebuilding of the Tribulation Temple, the two witnesses, and the impact they will have on the world.

In chapter 12 he wrote about Satan being cast out of heaven, and how it will affect Israel and the other believers in the world.

Now in chapter 13 John will tell us about the two powerhouses of the Tribulation Period—the Antichrist (the political powerhouse) and the False Prophet (the religious powerhouse). These two end-time dictators will merge church and state. The results will be disastrous.

I. The Beast from the Sea

Revelation 13:1 NKJV

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.

The dragon*, Satan, will stand on the shore of the masses of humanity in the last days. The Beast, the Antichrist*, will rise up out of this sea* of wickedness that will reign when the Church is gone.

The ten horns* are ten rulers who will reign with the Antichrist during the Tribulation Period.

The seven heads have a double meaning:

(1) they are seven world governments*, and

(2) they are seven hills* where the world religion will be located for a short time during the Tribulation Period.

The ten crowns are the ten divisions of the last world government.

It will be divided into ten divisions, with each division having its own ruler and set of false religions.

According to the Bible, mankind will go through seven heads*—

the heads of seven world kingdoms or seven world governments.

Each of the seven heads will have a blasphemous name,

because all seven world governments and their corresponding false religions will be noted for their wickedness.

The seventh head (seventh world government) will be run by the Antichrist.

His world government will be subdivided into ten crowns (ten major divisions),

with each division having its own wicked ruler.

The prophet Daniel teaches that the Antichrist will come up among the ten horns and uproot three of them (Daniel 7:7–8, 23–25).

There is some debate as to whether the Antichrist is one of the ten or whether he is an eleventh person who arises while the ten are in power.

I personally do not think he is one of the ten.

I think he rises while they are in power. He takes over the power of one, then a second, a third, and finally the remaining seven give him their power.

He is then the head of the world government, which started with ten divisions and was whittled down to seven.

The seven heads are seven mountains (kingdoms).

Five have fallen; one is; the other has not yet come (see Revelation 17:9–10).

The ten horns will receive authority with the Antichrist (see Revelation 17:12).

The Antichrist will subdue three kings (see Daniel 7:24).

Then all ten will submit to the Antichrist (see Revelation 17:13).

Jack Van Impel - In man’s search for international leadership, there has always been the drive to find the one who is destined to hold it all together. Are people today really ready to accept a “devil” as the new CEO of world affairs?

Grant R. Jeffrey - The Ten Regions (Divisions) of the New World Government: Region 1 • Canada and the United States of America Region 2 • European Union—Western Europe Region Region 3 • Japan Region 4 • Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pacific Islands Region

5 • Eastern Europe Region 6 • Latin America—Mexico and Central and South America Region 7 • North Africa and Middle East (Moslems) Region 8 • Central Africa Region 9 • South and Southeast Asia Region 10 • Central Asia

Mal Couch - To say that he [the Antichrist] emerges from the depths may simply mean that his wicked motivations are inspired from the pits of Satan. Other passages of Scripture show him to be an evil and rational earthly being and not simply a demonic creature. When he arrives upon the world scene, he may become the most powerful and most loathsome human being to reside on earth. He acts as the devil’s arch tool for the physical and spiritual destruction of humanity.

closing

I wish I could say what happens to America, but I would only be speculating. All that can be said is that Europe is going to replace America as the dominant power in the world.

Salvation

John 3:16 NKJV

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

As we bow our heads:

Repeat after me:

1. Lord I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died On the cross for my sins and His resurrection from the dead gives me eternal life. I asked forgiveness of my sins, and I Except Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In his name I Pray, amen.

Communion

I want to take a few moments to give you the opportunity to ask forgiveness of any sin in your life.

Let us pray over the elements (Cross Exposed) in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost

Read first Corinthians 11:23- 26 - (Taking the elements together)

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
