Daniel 7:25-28

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.”
