Deadly Wound

Revelation 13

1.  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having

seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Comment: The sea or waters represents "peoples or nations" Rev 17:15. The beast is one of the descriptions for the Global Government or Political Beast. The seven heads are seven nations or kingdoms, Rev 17:9-10. The ten horns are ten kings, Rev 17:12. The reason he has the name of blasphemy upon or in his head is because the whole system is against God.
2.  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Comment: These animals are the way the beast works; a leopard is spotted or corrupted, a bears' feet tromp and subdue, a lions' mouth rips and tears his prey, and the dragon is one of the names given to Satan, Rev 12:9.
3.  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Comment: Here is where one of the nations or head gets a deadly wound, now this deadly wound goes back to David and Goliath, 1Sam 17:49. This is pretty deep but the political system right now is a giant and the only one to conquer it is Gods Elect, and the Stone is Christ, Dan 2:44-45. How do we know it is economics? Because thats what motivates all men and kings/leaders of nations. Power and Greed.
4.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?

Comment: Once the nations of the world become desperate because of the wound, they rally together and try to come together as one, but it won't last. Too much greed out there. They say who is able to make war with him because its basically one world peace.
5.  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Comment: Forty two months is 3 1/2 years, which is half of the seven years, if you don't understand read my study on the seventy weeks of Daniel.
6.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Comment: 2Thessalonians 2:4 explains this.
7.  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Comment: Mark 13:9-11 if you don't understand this scripture read my study on Mark. The word "saints" means, set aside ones or Gods Elect, not the saints of the Catholic Church as some may think, those saints have been ordained by men, not God.
8.  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9.  If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10.  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11.  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Comment: This also reflects 2Thess 2:4, why does he look like the lamb (lowercase) because he claims to be the Lamb (Christ/God).
12.  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13.  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14.  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Comment: The sword represents words.
15.  And he 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.
16.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Comment: What do you do with your right hand? Make deals and agree. What is in your forehead? Your brain or mind. Not a bar code like some idiots think. See God also sets a mark on the men that don't worship Satan claiming to be God, Rev 9:4. You might say, I would never worship Satan. But think about it like this, when you don't have a job and any money or food is too expensive to buy, or your home is taken away from you because you can't pay the mortgage and he, Satan is saying he is God and performing miracles in your sight, and saying just come to me and I will fix it all, how much more will you remember these words.
17.  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18.  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 666

Comment: What happens at the Sixth Seal, Sixth Trumpet, and the Sixth Vial, Satan is kicked out of Heaven and his angels with him on to this Earth, Rev 12:7-9.
