A WOMAN RIDES
THE BEAST
8
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEASTREV 17:1 And there came one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials, and talked
with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will
shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of
the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication.
(Continued)
9
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten
horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden
cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication:
(Continued)
10
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
(Continued)
11
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth
her, which hath the seven heads
[governments, kingdoms, or empires] and
ten horns [kings].
(Continued)
12
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell on
the earth shall wonder, whose names were
not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains [big
governments, empires, or kingdoms], on
which the woman sitteth. (Continued)
13
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST10 And there are seven kings [kingdoms or
empires]: five are fallen, and one is, and the
other is not yet come; and when he cometh,
he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even
he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition.
14
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST The woman represents false religion with
whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication.
She sits on seven empires or governments.
John Walvoord believes that the woman is
best interpreted as apostate Christianity in
the end times, working together with the
political systems.
It will be a merger.
Notice how John Phillips and Jerry Vines
describe the Antichrist as a unifying
influence:
15
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST“Wickedness will get worse and worse. As ‘the
man of sin’ the promotion of sin will be his chief
aim. He will gratify lust and glorify sin. He will
appear as the messiah of the Jews, the mahdi
of the Muslims, the krishna of the Hindus. He
will be the ideal of the humanists, the Christ of
apostate Christendom, the mantra of the
eastern mystics. A war-weary, famine-ravished,
disease-ridden, plague-infested, panic-stricken
world will hail him – ‘till the
indignation[abomination of desolation, Matt
24:15] be accomplished.’”
16
THE INTERPRETATION In view of this, could it be that the final
religion will merge New Age beliefs, the
apostasy of liberal Protestant and Catholic
churches, and Islam together in a oneness
of spirit with nature? (See our teaching
and Newsletter “THE LUCIFERIAN
AGENDA” at www.creationrevelation.org).
Isaiah 2:2 refers to the future 1000 years
government of the Lord Jesus Christ on
the earth.
17
THE INTERPRETATIONISA 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last
days, that the mountain of the LORD'S
house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the
hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Jesus will be in top of and rule over the
mountain (big government or nations) and
hills (small government or countries) of
the earth.
18
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST Many have interpreted the seven
mountains as the seven hill of Rome, but
this cannot be because it is stated that five
have fallen, one is, and one is yet to come,
and it is further stated that they represent
kings.
Prophetic Interpretation Rule
Mountains or Heads (when not named) =
Big Governments, Nations, Kingdoms, or
Empires.
Hills = Small Governments, Countries.
19
A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST Therefore, the woman of Revelation 17:9 is
pictured sitting on seven big governments
or kingdoms.
The woman will have significant religious
influence over the seventh big
government.
20
SEVEN
KINGDOMS
21
SEVEN KINGDOMSREV 17:10 And there are seven kings: five
are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet
come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.
In the apostle John's day five empires had
risen and fallen: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon,
Medo-Persia, and Greece in that order.
Rome at that time was the empire that "is."
22
SEVEN KINGDOMS The Babylonian religious system, and her
daughters (the mystery religions of
Greece, Egypt, and Rome), dominated
these six empires.
The seventh empire would be future and
would last only a short time, and it would
come out of these empires or big powerful
governments.
The Seventh Head (“the other is not yet
come”) will be the Revived Roman Empire.
23
SEVEN KINGDOMS The Empires that had already risen and
“fallen”, in order =
1. Egypt, 2. Assyria, 3. Babylon, 4. Medo-
Persia, and 5. Greece
The Empire that “is” (now existed) in
John’s time =
6. Rome
The Seventh Head (“the other is not yet
come”) =
7. The Revived Roman Empire
24
SEVEN KINGDOMS The resurrected system, the seventh head,
will not be a restoration of the Roman
Empire, but of the system that produced
the Roman Empire.
It will be comprised of a minimum of ten
nations and will not necessarily be
contained in the same geographical area
as the Roman Empire.
We can only conclude that the seven
mountains refer to the seven great
kingdoms each ruled by a king.
25
SEVEN KINGDOMS Today six of them have now fallen.
The seventh head now showing itself will
produce the eighth head, the Antichrist.
26
THE SEVENTH
KINGDOM
27
THE SEVENTH KINGDOMREV 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are
ten kings, which have received no kingdom
as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.
(Continued)
28
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and
the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is
Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they
that are with him are called, and chosen, and
faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which
thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are
peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and
tongues.
(Continued)
29
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM16 And the ten horns which thou sawest
upon the beast, these shall hate the whore,
and shall make her desolate and naked, and
shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil
his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom
unto the beast, until the words of God shall
be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of
the earth.
30
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM In order to avoid confusion, it should be
realized that the “beast” described in the
book of Revelation sometimes refers to the
system or empire, and at other times to an
individual, the Antichrist.
In each case the context makes it clear as
to the identification.
For example, when the beast is cast alive
into the Lake of Fire it refers to the
individual; and when it is the beast on
which the woman rides it is the empire or
empires.
31
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM “The beast that was, and is not” probably
refers to the fact of Rome’s fall, and
apparent demise, yet Rome never
completely disappeared, but lay
embedded within the colonial systems of
the nations split from the old Roman
Empire.
Rome will rise again and the leader of the
newly revived system, the Antichrist, will
become the eight and he will eventually be
cast into the Lake of Fire.
32
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM Notice in Revelation 17:17 that this is the
will of God, to fulfill His prophecy.
This is the Key verse for prophecy for the
entire Bible: “For God hath put in their
hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and
give their kingdom unto the beast, until
the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Rev
17:17
33
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM The seventh head, the future world
government becomes operational under
the eight head (Antichrist).
According to Revelation 17:10 it lasts only
a short space (3-1/2 years of the
tribulation).
During this time the Antichrist brings
together the governments, armies,
commerce and religions of the Ten Nation
Confederacy.
34
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM He uses the Harlot system to advance
himself to the center of the World Religion.
At mid-tribulation the Antichrist, produced
by the seventh head (the revived Roman
system), assumes the identity of the
eighth head.
He attempts to force himself on the world
as a self-appointed “god” existing for only
3-1/2 years before being totally destroyed
when Christ returns.
35
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM The "Ten Horns" in Revelation 17:11 are
ten kings who will receive great kingdoms
by assisting the beast (Antichrist).
They rule for a short time (3-1/2 years).
This is the alliance of rulers and armies
that the Antichrist leads on the final day of
the Tribulation which are destroyed in the
Battle of Armageddon.
36
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM In Revelation 17:16 "Hate the Whore"
indicates that the Antichrist must destroy
the religious system to make himself god.
"That Great City" is the headquarters of
the Harlot (the religious system).
37
THE SEVENTH KINGDOMDAN 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold,
there came up among them another little
horn, before whom there were three of the
first horns plucked up by the roots: and,
behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes
of man, and a mouth speaking great
things….
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are
ten kings that shall arise: and another shall
rise after them; and he shall be diverse from
the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
38
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM The beast of Revelation 17:11 described
from Daniel's perspective is the same as
the eleventh horn ("little horn") of Daniel
7:8-27.
The eleventh horn of Daniel 7 will rise to
power among ten nations of the Revived
Roman Empire.
The Antichrist will arise out of the ten
kingdoms.
39
THE SEVENTH KINGDOM "He shall subdue three kings" (Daniel
7:24) indicates that he will deal with three
obstructionist kingdoms by striking them
down and removing their kings, after
which he will assume control of the ten
kingdoms.
Remember the ten regions proposed by
the Club of Rome we saw in a previous
lesson that are for the most part
operational today.
40
THE INTERPRETATION
41
THE
TRIBULATION
42
THE TRIBULATIONDAN 7:25 And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the most High, and think to change
times and laws: and they shall be given into
his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time.
The Antichrist will blaspheme God.
The Lord will execute judgment on all that
do likewise.
43
THE TRIBULATIONJUD 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and
to convince all that are ungodly among them
of all their ungodly deeds which they have
ungodly committed, and of all their hard
speeches which ungodly sinners have
spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers,
walking after their own lusts; and their
mouth speaketh great swelling words,
having men's persons in admiration because
of advantage.
44
THE TRIBULATION Many will speak against God in the last
days, but the Antichrist will outdo them all.
The word translated “against” in verse 25
literally means “at the side of,” meaning
that the Antichrist will attempt to elevate
himself to the same level as God.
We see this characteristic of the Antichrist
in the following verses:
45
THE TRIBULATIONDAN 11:36 And the king shall do according
to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and
magnify himself above every god, and shall
speak marvellous things against the God of
gods….
2 TH 2:3 …that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God.
46
THE TRIBULATIONThe Antichrist will receive the worship of
many.
REV 13:5 And there was given unto him
[Antichrist] a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies….
15 And he [False Prophet] had power to give
life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed.
47
THE TRIBULATION That he shall “wear out the saints of the
most High” refers to the persecutions of
the Tribulation Saints, those who are
saved during the Great Tribulation.
Many will be saved after the Rapture of the
Church.
Those who have been saved during these
seven years will suffer much persecution
at the hands of the Antichrist.
48
THE TRIBULATION He will “think to change times and laws,”
and in doing so he shall repeal the Judeo-
Christian system of laws, religion, and
institutions.
To attempt to change the times and the
laws is an attempt to exercise authority in
areas that are the exclusive right of God.
Times and law are the instruments used
by God to regulate the affairs of man on
earth through natural and moral laws.
49
THE TRIBULATION However, his persecutions of God's
people will have a time limit of "time,
times, and the dividing of time.“
"Time" being one year, "times" being two
years, and "half a time" being six months.
As we have already seen, this makes the
time limit to be 3-1/2 years.
It may be that the words "think to change
the times" refers to a new universal
worldview, or new world order and belief
system.
50
THE TRIBULATION Jumping ahead to chapter 9 we see that
there is a prophecy that is referred to as
the “Seventy Weeks of Daniel” in which
the weeks correspond to years.
Just how the word translated "weeks"
refers to "years" will be explained fully
when we come to Daniel Chapter 9, verse
24, in the course of these lessons.
There is one year of this prophecy that has
not yet been fulfilled.
51
THE TRIBULATION That "week" represents a future seven-
year tribulation period during which God
completes His plan of redemption
culminating in the return of Christ.
We will discuss this prophecy in great
detail when we get to chapter 9, but we
need to describe that "week" at this point
in order to introduce the Tribulation Saints
so as to make the remainder of chapter 7
understandable.
52
THE TRIBULATIONDAN 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon
thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression, and to make an end of sins, and
to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring
in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the
vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most
Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from
the going forth of the commandment to restore
and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore
and two weeks: the street shall be built again,
and the wall, even in troublous times.
53
THE TRIBULATION26 And after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end
of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many
for one week: and in the midst of the week he
shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate.
54
THE TRIBULATION In verse 27 we find that special week
separated from the previous 69 weeks.
That week has been separated by a gap
called the Church Age beginning when
Messiah was “cut off.”
Notice John Walvoord’s portrayal of the
events of Bible prophecy as follows:
55
THE TRIBULATION
56
THE TRIBULATION First, there will occur the Rapture of the
church before the seven-year Tribulation
begins.
At that time the "man of sin" is revealed
and that which hinders (the Holy Spirit
working in the Church) is removed.
2TH 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind,
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of
Christ is at hand.
(Continued)
57
THE TRIBULATION3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for
that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with
you, I told you these things?
(Continued)
58
THE TRIBULATION6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he
might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit
of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying wonders,
59
THE TRIBULATION "Letteth" in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is an old
English word meaning "to hinder," or
"hold fast."
Next the Antichrist rises to power and
enters into a seven-year covenant with
Israel.
At the midpoint of the seven years, the
Antichrist will break the covenant after
which there will be 3-1/2 years of great
persecution for the Tribulation Saints by
the hand of the Antichrist.
60
THE TRIBULATIONDAN 7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and
they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the
greatness of the kingdom under the whole
heaven, shall be given to the people of the
saints of the most High, whose kingdom is
an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him.
(Continued)
61
THE TRIBULATION28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for
me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled
me, and my countenance changed in me: but
I kept the matter in my heart.
62
THE TRIBULATION After the 3-1/2 years allotted in Daniel 7:25
Satan’s and the Antichrist’s dominion over
the Saints will end, and God's judgment
on him will be swift with the return of
Christ, and finally the millennial one-
thousand year reign of Christ will begin.
It should be understood that the revived
Roman system will be completely
destroyed before the Millennial Kingdom
will begin; no remnant of it will remain.
63
THE TRIBULATION The kingdom under the “whole heaven”
refers to the greatness of the earthly
domain.
God’s Kingdom will be given to the saints
of the Most High God.
The Kingdom was prepared for them from
the beginning.
Notice what Jesus says to those on His
right hand (the righteous) at the judgment
of the sheep and the goats after the
Tribulation.
64
THE TRIBULATION
MATT 25:34 Then shall the King say unto
them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:
65
THE TRIBULATION Even with the prospect of the Messianic
age, Daniel was deeply troubled because
much would take place before that event.
Renald Showers concludes his
commentary on this section of Daniel with
these words:
66
THE TRIBULATION“Daniel 2 portrayed Gentile world dominion
as it appears to rebellious man; therefore, it
presented that dominion as a brilliant,
glorious human image. Daniel 7 portrayed it
as it appears to God; therefore, it presented
Gentile dominion’s true, inward nature – that
of wild, voracious beasts.”
