Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” – Revelation 13:1-4
It is the year of our Lord 2022, and as of the time of this publishing, we are still waiting patiently on our sovereign Lord’s long-awaited return for His bride, the Church. In the meantime, however, something curious is happening that has caught many a prophecy student by surprise…the rising of the Beast government.
As of 2020, we began witnessing this monstrosity rising up out of the sea of humanity under the guise of an international crisis by way of a “pandemic.” It was here that we all witnessed the terrible abuse of power by local, state, national, and international governments, as well as private corporations, and nonprofit organizations. What began initially as global compliance quickly turned into varying forms of tyranny.
Since then, this bent toward global governance has increased exponentially, all under several unassuming names such as the Great Reset, Agenda 2030, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and even the resurrected “New World Order.” Thus, the ascendance of this tyrannical beast system is not coming to us by military might as many suspected. For now, the men and women pushing this one-world system are hiding their true intentions very much like the iron fist cloaked in the velvet glove.
Author’s Note: Before moving forward, a little clarification is required. The arrival and even appearance of the Beast system is not necessarily a prerequisite for the official start of the 70th Week of Daniel. We should also know that the Rapture doesn’t start the 70 Week either. What starts that prophetic week of years is the covenant confirmed (Daniel 9:27) which triggers the unleashing of the Seal Judgments by our Lord Jesus Christ. The appearance of the “Beast System” before the Rapture as a form of governance, seems to be the pre-staging necessary for it to take over the minute after.
Although Revelation 13 is in the middle of the book of Revelation, it provides the reader a panoramic view of the ascendancy of this final human kingdom and how it comes to dominate the world in the 70th Week. Ergo, Revelation 13 really covers the period from Revelation 6-17. The use of fantastic imagery and symbolism (as given to John) is done to provide a timeless visual aid designed to make it relevant to every generation. For all its trappings in technology and modernity, the ferocity of this final human kingdom is absolutely beast-like in nature. Furthermore, the imagery is not arbitrary or random (as some believe), the imagery comes straight from the Old Testament book of Daniel chapters 7 and 8. These are actual kingdoms that will one day form the hybrid beast that rises up out of the sea of nations.
