9-11 and the Bible II
Chapter XI
The First Beast Out of the Sea of Revelation Thirteen (13)
One of Obama’s priorities at the (G-20) summit in 2009 was his strategic turn towards Asia-Pacific, shifting the focus from Europe for 200 years to Asia or turning from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Thus, Obama proclaimed himself “the first president of the United States in the Pacific.” Behind this title, China is a direct factor. Thus, the scarlet dragon (G-7) group gives authority to the first beast (G-20).
E.U. (G-7), under the presidency of Barack Obama, gives authority to the first beast of Revelation 13 - (G-20), China.
The Foundations for a New Order
“The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten (10) horns and seven (7) heads, with ten (10) crowns on its horns and each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard but had feet like a bear and a mouth like a lion. The scarlet dragon of chapter 12 (G-7) out of the sea. “Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.” (Revelation 17:15).
The beast represents peoples, multitudes,
nations, and tongues. “Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the
prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.” (Revelation
17:15).
The sea also represents the lowest kingdom on earth and this vast sea of flesh; old Adam's humanity, as imperfect as a man can be at its lowest point. Individually it speaks of the lower aspect of our human nature and life – and the body with) its passions and desires. The sea represents the physical desires and impulses that disturb, drive, convince, and take us out of control.
God is now taking men out of the lowest sphere
of the sea of vanity, sin, and death towards the highest kingdom of heaven,
the realm of the spirit, to the fullness of their life, nature, wisdom,
authority, and glory. This is accomplished entirely by the almighty power of
God’s word and by the moving of His Spirit. It is not by the mind of carnal
man, self-effort, or the world's wisdom.
This first beast of Revelation thirteen has the same configuration as the scarlet dragon of Revelation twelve (12) (G-7), with seven (7) heads and ten (10) horns. The difference is that the crowns in chapter twelve (12) are in the scarlet dragon’s heads (G-7). In chapter thirteen's (13) first beast, the beast’s diadems[1] are in its ten (10) horns (G-20). The diadems, symbolizing its political and economic power, are vested by the scarlet dragon (G-7) to the first beast (G-20).
The seven (7) heads and ten (10) horns of the scarlet dragon’s
chapter twelve configuration parallel the world's dominant political and
economic arrangement. The seven (7) heads represent the (G-7) group, represent the
seven wealthiest nations in
the world, and the ten (10) horns represent the first North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in its beginnings.
(NATO’s)
origins are in the signing of the Washington Treaty of 1949, through which ten
countries on both sides of the Atlantic: (Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the United
States, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal,
and the United Kingdom), pledged to defend each other in the event of armed
aggression against any of them.
[1] As nouns, the difference
between a crown and a diadem is that a crown is a reward of victory or a mark of
honor, while a diadem is an ornamental headband worn as a badge of royalty. The crown is to place a crown on the head, while a diadem is adorned with a diadem.
The dragon gives authority and the throne
and power to the first beast
Both the scarlet dragon of (chapter 12) and the
first beast of (chapter 13) have the same configuration – seven (7) heads and ten
(10) horns. But there is a difference – instead of the crowns being in the dragon’s
chapter 12, seven (7) heads, here in the first beast of chapter 13, the diadems
are in the ten (10) horns. There is a shift of authority, throne, and power from
the chapter (12) dragon to the chapter (13) beast.
The
(G-8) group
After 9-11, in October 2001, the high
representatives of Justice and Domestic Affairs of the G-8 group met in Rome to
discuss the measures that the G-8 group should take to combat international
terrorism, and they decided to combine the “Lyon Group” (fighting transnational
crime). Since then, the Lyon Group and the G-8 Group have met annually in joint
sessions.
United States
as the leader of the G-7, delegated many of its responsibilities to the
countries of Europe and Russia, consolidating itself like Group G-8. With the
participation of Russia in the decision-making of the G-7 in world affairs and,
above all, in dealing with international terrorism – the (G-7) becomes the
group (G-8).
In 2009, a new possibility was
presented to the world when the G-20[1],
an assembly that brings together the leading developed nations and emerging
economies, met in Pittsburgh to formulate a response to the global financial
crisis. As the highlight of the US presidency of the G20, US President Barack
Obama presided over the summit that designated the G20 as the leading global
economic policy coordinating body.
One of Obama’s priorities at the (G-20) summit in 2009 was his strategic turn towards Asia-Pacific, shifting the focus from Europe for 200 years to Asia or turning from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Thus, Obama proclaimed himself “the first president of the United States in the Pacific.” Behind this title, China is a direct factor. Thus, the scarlet dragon (G-7) group gives authority to the first beast (G-20).
Thirty years after 9-11, 1990-20021
This 2021 meeting continues Obama’s strategic turn towards Asia-Pacific, shifting the focus from Europe for 200 years to Asia or turning from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The dragon of (Revelation 12), the (G-7) group, gives his power, throne,
and great authority to the (G-20) group, the first beast of Revelation chapter
(13). The dragon gave the beast his power, throne, and
great authority. One of the beast’s heads seemed to have had a fatal wound, but
the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with
wonder and followed the beast. People
worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also
worshiped the beast. (Revelations 2,3).
“And they worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the first beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying: “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” (vs. 4).
The scarlet dragon gave the
beast a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and exercise its
authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God and
slander his name, dwelling place, and those who live in heaven. The scarlet
dragon (G-7) group gave the first beast (G-20) the power to wage
war against God’s holy people and conquer them. It was given authority
over every tribe, people, language, and nation. (vs. 5-7).
“The beast was allowed
to wage war against the saints, defeat them, and give authority over every
tribe, people, language, and nation.[1] All the earth's inhabitants, whose names are not written in the Book of
Life, worshiped the beast.” (8).
From the following verses, it is implied that
these are moments of decision. You will no longer be in a “happy medium,” in a spiritual
warmth, the white will be white, and the black will be black. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness
for light and
light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20).
The prophet Jeremiah seems to warn the nations
that it is not through alliances between peoples that peace is achieved in the
world when he says: “The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have
rejected the word of the Lord, what kind of wisdom do they
have? Therefore I
will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners.
All are greedy for gain from
the least to the greatest; prophets and priests practice deceit. They
dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. “Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.” (Jeremiah
8:9-11).
“Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered! Listen to all you distant lands. Prepare for battle and be shattered! Devise your strategy, but it
will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God
is with us. This is what the Lord says
to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way
of these people.” (Isaiah 8:9-11).
All the sinners among my
people will die by the sword, all those who say, ‘Disaster will not overtake
or meet us.’ (Amos 9:10). But those whose names are written in the Book of Life
will not worship the beast.
“The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him. ‘Now our God's salvation, power, kingdom, and the authority of his Messiah have come. The accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God, day and night, has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” (Revelation 12:9-10).
“Whoever has ears, let them hear. If anyone
is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed
with the sword, they will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and
faithfulness on the part of God’s people.” (Revelations 13:9-11).
