THE LEOPARD-BEAR-LION BEAST

BEHOLD THE BEAST

THE LEOPARD-BEAR-LION BEAST

For a general overview with maps and more detail regarding the LBL beast, please visit the beast page. The following is a verse-by-verse of Revelation 13.

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.

The sea is people, tongues and nations per Rev 17:15. The seven heads are the seven empires from Egypt through Islam. After the Roman empire fell to the Islamic First Jihad, it later divided into roughly 10 nations - the horns.

Revelation 13:2 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. Regarding gender, Daniel's beast is "his".

Daniel defined the term "beast", when used in the context of the figurative language of a vision or dream in prophecy: Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth...

Once we understand John's leopard-bear-lion composite, of Daniel's lion, bear and leopard "beasts", to be another in the chain of successive kingdoms that conquered and controlled the Middle East and the holy land, and oppressed God's people - today as the Islamic Empire - the rest of this chapter falls neatly into place.

Revelation 13:3 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.

The deadly wound inflicted on the First Jihad of the Islamic Empire - the seventh head of the leopard-bear-lion beast - was delivered by the hand of Charles "Martel" ("The Hammer") in the Battle of Tours France. This battle marked the zenith of, and was responsible for the demise of, the Islamic First Jihad. Daniel pinned the year of this epic battle of 732 AD with his 1335 "days". Many believe this to be the most important battle of the Christian era, and the reason the whole world isn't speaking Arabic and bowing toward Mecca today. All the world wondered after the beast that nearly conquered the whole known world, before being stopped by Martel, who was fighting against the astronomical odds of an Islamic cavalry of hundreds of thousands. (Strong's - world - 1a) the portion of the earth inhabited by the Greeks, in distinction from the lands of the barbarians)

In the very next verse in Daniel we learn Daniel 12:12: Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

From the Tanach: 12:12: Fortunate is he who waits and reaches days of one thousand, three hundred, and thirty-five.

And fortunate was he who waited and reached the 1335 without being killed, enslaved - sexually or otherwise - or being forced to convert to Islam.

Revelation 13:4 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?

We learned in Rev 13:2 that it is the dragon - Satan - that gives his power, and his seat, and great authority to the Islamic Empire beast. As sad as it is, there are 1.5 billion Muslims that worship this beast (Second Jihad) today, truly setting up the greatest tragedy in the history of mankind, if the church doesn't reach them with the truth in time. Through an ethnographic view of John's whole world, who indeed was able to make war with the beast, that conquered nearly the whole known world. An ethnographic view, or looking through the eyes of the prophet and his whole known world, would seem particularly important in Revelation because of John's assignment: Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; JOHN IS THE "THOU".

Revelation 13:5 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.

The mouth that was given to the beast was Mohammed/Quran, which speak such blasphemy as God has no Son. This is the most important element in Islam, known as "shirk". Power was given to this beast to continue 42 "months". This math problem is covered here and pins the Islamic mosque the Dome of the Rock to the year.

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

The Islamic beast through his mouth, the Quran, says God has no Son, Islam also renamed the I AM - Allah - blaspheming His name, and built the blasphemous Dome of the Rock on the holy hill, Mt. Moriah - God's footstool - where the Solomonic temple once stood and the holy of holies was once kept - blaspheming God's tabernacle. Also their god allah curses Christians and Jews - regenerate persons being temples of God.

Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

Revelation 13:7 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.

The Muslims slaughtered Jews and Christians, thus overcomming the saints, for the 152 years of the Islamic First Jihad, nearly succeeding in claiming the whole known world.

Revelation 13:8 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.

As the map of the First Jihad illustrates through an ethnographic view, or looking through the prophet John's eyes and his known world, there is just a tiny remnant left whose names are written in the book of life, as the map of the Second Islamic Jihad below, shows.

Revelation 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Revelation 13:10 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.

They led the saints into captivity, and then were taken captive by the two horned beast. They battled with the weaponry described. The First Jihad required 152 years of patience and faith for the saints to endure, and Islam continues to oppress God's people unto this day.

Revelation 13:11 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.

Kingdom "beasts" rise up out of the earth, and Daniel defined beast for us as a kingdom when the figurative language of a dream is used, so that definition still applies. But this beast is like a lamb, or better translated lambkin, meaning it will appear to be Christian, or doing the Lord's work. But this beast spake as a dragon, so we know that in fact his works are more the works of Satan than Christ. When we look to the history of the area we find the two horns that fit this beast are the Crusades, which raped pillaged and plundered in the name of the Lord, and later the British mandate. Indeed the spoils of pillage were a big incentive for many, and some were told that if they went to fight they would be given blanket absolution from sin for the rest of their life, so how would men be expected to behave?

Revelation 13:12 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.

Before him in this verse means "in the presence of" or in front of. So the two horned beast was exercising control as the first beast - the Islamic First Jihad - but in the presence of the Islamic beast. Not instead of. Two horns caused those on earth to worship the first beast, by healing the deadly wound (Battle of Tours) of the First Jihad through Western wealth transfer by oil purchase, and arms shipment, financing the Second Jihad in the image of the First Jihad.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Through an ethnographic hermeneutic the earlier manifestation of this might be British artillery, or prior to that perhaps catapulted fireballs during the Crusades, and eventually we witnessed the tremendous spectacle of desert storm and the wonder of "smart" bombs - still "in the presence of" the beast.

Revelation 13:14 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.

The world was deceived into believing that the Western powers, through these wonders, could continue to have influence over this beast, but the Crusades and British Mandate - two horns - eventually yielded the power they exercised in the presence of the Islamic LBL beast. Indeed even empowering the beast with Western wealth transfer in oil purchase, financing the Second Jihad to conquer, in the image of the First Jihad, with 2 million slain in the Sudan alone, and 55 countries yielding to Islam worldwide - so far.

Today the Saudi's (the most radical Wahabi sect) spend over 10 billion per year setting up Islamic centers and mosques in the U.S. alone. Regarding peace in the Middle East, has the Lord allowed those people to live peacefully together and prosper, whose collective primary religious tenant is that God has no Son - "that spirit of antichrist"? Peace doesn't exactly describe the historical reality of this part of the world. And even today we see the Sunni on Shiite mutual murder and bloodshed, and the relatively backwards 3rd world conditions the people suffer under, in spite of the trillions of dollars that the world has transferred to the area through oil purchase.

The Second Jihad of today is the image of the First Jihad, that was mortally wounded in the Battle of Tours, and "did live" indeed.

Revelation 13:15 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.

And two horns had the power to give life unto the Second Jihad by Western wealth transfer through oil purchase.

If a Saudi doesn't show up for morning prayers they send the police to his house. Regarding those killed, Saudi Arabia is the beheading capital of the world. The penalty for "apostasy" or turning away from Islam is death, by beheading as we nearly witnessed on the level of world-wide attention in Afghanistan. In order to avert the spectacle of beheading a national because he became a Christian, and the global outrage it would have inspired, the Afghani government had to pretend he was mentally incompetent.

Revelation 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:

This is a spiritual mark. Heads and our thoughts drive the works of our hands, to do what, in Islam's case, is Satan's work. If this mark were to be physical then how is the "seal of God in their foreheads" to be physically manifest in regenerate believers? Here is a Skolfield paper exploring the Mark of the Beast through other scriptures.

After all, does God really need the aid of a mark in order to sort us all out?

If it was to be a microchip or something goofy like that, what would happen if you were under general anesthesia and the doctor implanted you when you were unconscious? Would you then go to hell?

Revelation 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.

And this is the condition of the Middle East today, John's whole world, where life is becoming ever more impossible, for that tiny remnant that do not carry the mark. The beheading capital of the world.

Revelation 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.

And we have some Muslims own testimony that "the Quran is the 666". And being the number of "a man": "GOD made His Messenger a witness with the letter Qaf and the number 666."

Brothers and Sisters, understanding through an ethnographic herneneutic applied to this chapter above, the Lord could return this very day! John's whole world already has the mark of the beast.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
