For
the leopard beast of Revelation 13:
Question
3. What
power does the body represent?
Question
4. Now,
in light of the answers to the questions about
the leopard beast of Daniel 7, what do those
heads represent?
Answers
to questions above:
1. Greek
kingdom of Alexander the Great
2. Greek
kingdoms after Alexander the Great
3. The
Papacy from 538 AD to 1798 AD
4. The
papacy after 1798 (devoid of the power it had before
1798)
The
7 headed leopard with 10 horns and crowns upon its
horns (from Revelation 13, aka sea beast), feet of
a bear and the mouth of a lion, looks a lot like the
4 headed leopard of Daniel 7. Notice that one
interpretation of heads is that they are kings, or
leaders of empires, so one could say that as the heads
on the 4 headed leopard were the leaders of the Greek
Empire (the 4 parts that succeeded Alexander the Great),
so also the 7 heads of the 7 headed leopard are leaders
of the leopard beast of Revelation 13 occurring after
1798 (God designates that there are 7 divisions -
by name as near as we can determine). This should
tell you that since the 7 headed leopard beast is
the papacy, the heads of the papacy must be the popes
that succeeded the Papacy after 1798.
One
can think of it like this. If the 4 heads on
the leopard beast of Daniel 7 represent the 4 kingdoms
or generals who succeeded Alexander
the Great after he died, then with the body of the
leopard beast of Daniel 7 being the papacy before
1798, who would the heads be? Obviously, the
popes after 1798 who succeeded the
beast!
Another
way to understand this is that one could say that
since the body of the sea beast primarily represents
a religious power, then by the Similarity
Principle the
heads must also be religious in nature.
Simply
put, if the body and heads on the 4 headed leopard
are Greek kingdoms and the body of the 7 headed
leopard of Revelation 13 is the Papacy, what else
could the heads on the 7 headed leopard be but
the Papacy? The rules are the same in both
books for similar symbols. There is NOTHING
saying the rules have changed. Those animals
in Daniel look a lot like those in Revelation 12,
13, and 17!
Do
consider that those heads on the leopard beast in
Daniel 7 represented simultaneously existing
kingdoms. They did NOT represent 4 kinghat
occurred in sequence,
one after another. That being the case, why
should it be that the heads of the leopard beast in
Revelation 13 are considered by many authorities to
be sequential kingdoms? Likewise,
why should the 7 heads of the scarlet beast in Revelation
17 be considered sequential kingdoms? Should
they be considered to be 7 simultaneously
existing kingdoms? Something
to seriously think about!
