Isn't It About Time We Know What These Things Really Mean?
If you have ever watched movies about the end times, you have seen lots of images and themes similar to the image used for this post. Don't forget who owns Hollywood and the media. Hollywood's representation of the end times and what most preachers believe and teach is not the way that the end time comes about. Learn what these symbols really mean. It is my hope that after reading this post, you will have a better understanding of what the Bible really says.
Revelation 17:16 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.
1. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Notice that this wonder appeared in heaven. This beast is not upon the earth. A beast is representative of a governmental system or a leader of a governmental system. This beast is the New World Order, also known as The One World System of the previous age. The seven heads are actual kings with dominions because the crowns are on the heads, not on the horns. Horns are representative of power, whereas heads are representative of kings. These ten horns are actually associated with the seven kingdoms.
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.
Notice that this beast rises out of the sea. The sea is a sea of people. This is on earth, not in heaven. This beast also has seven heads or kings, but the power (or horns) does not belong to these kings, so they don't have crowns. The crowns are on the horns. The power behind these kings comes from the beast that was in heaven. These horns are given power 'as' kings for one hour with the beast. The blasphemy upon the heads is that this beast is of satan and claims that satan is GOD.
Revelation 17:12 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.
So, these 10 horns are ten kings that have no kingdom. They have no kingdom because they come with satan to earth and receive power 'as' kings for one hour (the hour of temptation) with the beast.
That would mean that they are fallen angels that get cast out of heaven along with satan by Michael and his angels.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
2. these shall hate the whore,
Why do these ten horns hate the whore? Because the whore is GOD'S children whoring after anti CHRIST. She thinks satan is JESUS as satan plays out his deception. GOD uses the metaphor of marriage to symbolically show the offensive behavior of HIS children. If HIS children are the Bride Of CHRIST, then since they fall away to satan before JESUS returns, then they are committing adultery. They are playing the whore with another man before the GROOM returns for the wedding.
As it states clearly in 2nd Thessalonians, chapter 2, We don't gather back to CHRIST until after there is a falling away from the TRUE CHRIST to the false, and satan sits in the temple of GOD claiming to be GOD. Most Christians don't care enough to know GOD'S TRUTH, so they get spoon fed deceptions from lying and ignorant preachers that are just after their donations.
2nd Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2nd Thessalonians 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.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2nd Thessalonians 2:4 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.
2nd Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2nd Thessalonians 2:6 and 2:7 says that the one that lets is Michael. So, Michael let's until it's time for satan to be taken out of the way. The false CHRIST is taken out of the way at the seventh trump and is bound for one thousand years.
2nd Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2nd Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Notice below that these whore Christians are unrighteous. Remember, these Christians tell JESUS they did good things and even cast out devils in HIS name. Well, any good they did is all lost because you can't really be much more unrighteous than worshiping satan. JESUS tells them to depart from HIM and that HE never knew them. And GOD is plenty angry at them. HE sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe a lie and perish. Read verses 10 and 11 below over and over again and pray that you understand it if it is in GOD'S Will.
2nd Thessalonians 2:8 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:
2nd Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2nd Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2nd Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2nd Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So, in verses 2nd Thessalonians 2:8 through 2:12, GOD sends those children a delusion to believe satan. Why? Because they are unrighteous and enjoying it! They are worshiping satan and are so happy that their savior has returned. How much more unrighteous can you get?
3. and shall make her desolate
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Anyone or place that is without GOD is desolate or empty. You can be sure that worshiping satan is a state of desolation. Desolation means you are without GOD and HIS TRUTH, which is HIS WORD (JESUS is HIS WORD).
4. and naked,
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. ('saint' means 'set aside one')
The clothing that we wear in Heaven is made of our righteous acts.
When the whore worships the devil, these ten horns will strip her of every righteous act she has ever had and since she now has no righteous acts because she worships satan, she is naked.
5. and shall eat her flesh,
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
1st Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
When the ten horns eat her flesh, they are converting her to satan. They are no longer TRUE Christians. You see, The WORD became flesh. If you don't consume The WORD, meaning eat HIS Flesh, you will be ignorant of GOD'S WORD and any knowledge you did have will be eaten away by the fallen angels (ten horns). You see, if the Christian is supposed to be like JESUS and they eat JESUS' FLESH, they are absorbing HIS WORD. The WORD is the BREAD Of Life. It is THE HOLY COMMUNION. If the ten horns cause the Christians who are ignorant of GOD'S WORD to stop partaking of THE HOLY COMMUNION to CHRIST and start partaking of it to satan, who is pretending to be CHRIST, then what are those Christians losing? They are not virgins anymore, because they did not fill their lamps with OIL (TRUTH).
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
6. and burn her with fire.
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2nd Thessalonians 2:4 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.
The ten horns (fallen angels) will burn her with the devils fake fire. This means they, along with satan will deceive the whore into believing that satan is GOD. These deceived Christians will wish for the rocks to fall on them to hide them from HIS Face.
Revelations 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelations 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelations 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Revelations 13:16 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:
Revelations 13:17 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.
Revelations 13:18 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.
(The word 'count' means to study over a long period. If you don't, how will you be wise enough to know the devil when he gets here?)

Notice 'as worn smooth by handling' means to study over a long period of time.
Most Christians don't realize that satan comes in peacefully and prosperously and will destroy many with peace. This fake CHRIST will cause all who don't have The Seal Of GOD (TRUTH) in their forehead to take a mark in their forehead or in their right hand in order to buy or sell. In their forehead means they believe a lie (they believe that satan is GOD) and on their right hand means they are actually doing work for him. The Book Of Revelation can be thought of as The Book Of The Revealing or The Book Of The Unveiling or The Book Of The Disclosure. The word Apocalypse in the Greek language means 'to disclose', which is the same as 'to reveal'. When JESUS opened the Seven Seals, HE gave us eyes to see and ears to hear (that means we understand HIS WORD), and when we study HIS WORD, we then have The Seal Of GOD in our foreheads. And what does GOD tell satan and his angels? HE tells them: Don't touch those who have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads.
So, start studying and rightly dividing The WORD Of GOD. Don't let some dumb lying preacher that is actually a worker for satan steal your soul away and charge you for doing it.

2nd Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2nd Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So, in verses 2nd Thessalonians 2:8 through 2:12, GOD sends those children a delusion to believe satan. Why? Because they are unrighteous and enjoying it! They are worshiping satan and are so happy that their savior has returned. How much more unrighteous can you get?
3. and shall make her desolate
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Anyone or place that is without GOD is desolate or empty. You can be sure that worshiping satan is a state of desolation. Desolation means you are without GOD and HIS TRUTH, which is HIS WORD (JESUS is HIS WORD).
4. and naked,
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. ('saint' means 'set aside one')
The clothing that we wear in Heaven is made of our righteous acts.
When the whore worships the devil, these ten horns will strip her of every righteous act she has ever had and since she now has no righteous acts because she worships satan, she is naked.
5. and shall eat her flesh,
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
1st Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
When the ten horns eat her flesh, they are converting her to satan. They are no longer TRUE Christians. You see, The WORD became flesh. If you don't consume The WORD, meaning eat HIS Flesh, you will be ignorant of GOD'S WORD and any knowledge you did have will be eaten away by the fallen angels (ten horns). You see, if the Christian is supposed to be like JESUS and they eat JESUS' FLESH, they are absorbing HIS WORD. The WORD is the BREAD Of Life. It is THE HOLY COMMUNION. If the ten horns cause the Christians who are ignorant of GOD'S WORD to stop partaking of THE HOLY COMMUNION to CHRIST and start partaking of it to satan, who is pretending to be CHRIST, then what are those Christians losing? They are not virgins anymore, because they did not fill their lamps with OIL (TRUTH).
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
6. and burn her with fire.
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2nd Thessalonians 2:4 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.
The ten horns (fallen angels) will burn her with the devils fake fire. This means they, along with satan will deceive the whore into believing that satan is GOD. These deceived Christians will wish for the rocks to fall on them to hide them from HIS Face.
Revelations 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelations 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelations 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Revelations 13:16 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:
Revelations 13:17 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.
Revelations 13:18 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.
(The word 'count' means to study over a long period. If you don't, how will you be wise enough to know the devil when he gets here?)
G5585
ψηφίζω
psēphizō
psay-fid'-zo
From G5586 ; to use pebbles in enumeration, that is, (genitive case) to compute: - count.
G5586
ψῆφος
psēphos
psay'-fos
From the same as G5584 ; a pebble (as worn smooth by handling), that is, (by implication of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote: - stone, voice.
Notice 'as worn smooth by handling' means to study over a long period of time.
Most Christians don't realize that satan comes in peacefully and prosperously and will destroy many with peace. This fake CHRIST will cause all who don't have The Seal Of GOD (TRUTH) in their forehead to take a mark in their forehead or in their right hand in order to buy or sell. In their forehead means they believe a lie (they believe that satan is GOD) and on their right hand means they are actually doing work for him. The Book Of Revelation can be thought of as The Book Of The Revealing or The Book Of The Unveiling or The Book Of The Disclosure. The word Apocalypse in the Greek language means 'to disclose', which is the same as 'to reveal'. When JESUS opened the Seven Seals, HE gave us eyes to see and ears to hear (that means we understand HIS WORD), and when we study HIS WORD, we then have The Seal Of GOD in our foreheads. And what does GOD tell satan and his angels? HE tells them: Don't touch those who have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads.
So, start studying and rightly dividing The WORD Of GOD. Don't let some dumb lying preacher that is actually a worker for satan steal your soul away and charge you for doing it.
