REVELATION 17 - 18
PART 3 of 3
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.
14) 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 chose, 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.
16) 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 fulfill 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. King James Version (KJV), Public Domain
COMMENTARY
The ten kingdoms in verse 12 are yet in the future. There will surely be some cataclysmic event that will require strong leaders to take the helm and steer this world on a smooth path: At this time in our study, there has been a global earthquake, three and a half years of drought, all kind of creatures attacking the two thirds of the population remaining after the initial third of the population perished. So there is an opening for the strongest of leaders. However, as strong as they are, they will all give up their power to one. The one who was able to overcome the two witnesses of God, perhaps? The one who receives his power from the dragon (Satan). Let us not forget that he appears to die and be restored with life.
Verse 15: refers to all those who have been deceived by spiritual Babylon since the beginning of time.
Verse 16: There is no Holy Spirit on earth. True believers have been raptured excluding the 144,000 who were chosen and received the seal of God. And the apostate churches have multiplied in direct conflict of which the 144,000 preach. Even so, the beast only allows Israel to have their religious system restored for 3.5 years. Then, ALL religions will cease and the earth dwellers will be forced to worship the beast only.
