his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of
the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor
night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever deceiveth the mark of his name.

FIRST BEAST
1. The Division & Departure
REVELATION 16:13, 14
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come]
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, [which] go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty.

REVELATION 16:17, 19
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air; and there came a great voice out of the temple
of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And
the great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell:…
3. THE DESTRUCTION
REVELATION 16:19
And the cities of the nations fell: and great
Babylon came in remembrance before God, to
give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness
of his wrath.

11. THE LITTLE HORN AMONG THE TEN
HORNS
REVELATION 12:1-4
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a
woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth,
and pained to be delivered. 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. And his tail drew the
third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to
the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman
which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her
child as soon as it was born.

12. QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS
Who’s this child…?
Was this child born during the reign of this Roman
Empire?
REVELATION 13:1, 2
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. 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.

13. COMPARE: REVELATION 13 &
DANIEL 7
REVELATION 13:1, 2 DANIEL 7
 Dragon  Lion
 Leopard  Bear
 Bear  Leopard
 Lion  Dragon
Notice: The order…why? Notice: The order…why?

14. CONNECTING ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
 Who was the Little Horn of DANIEL 7?
 Who is the child that the dragon had planned on
devouring?
 Was this child born during the reign of this pagan
empire? “Yes” 168BC TO 476 AD
 Rome: Dragon Beast
 The Dragon: Civil power of the Roman Empire
 Pagan Rome: Jesus

16. IDENTIFYING THE LITTLE HORN:
REVELATION’S FIRST BEAST
DANIEL 7:23, 24
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from
all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth,
and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten
kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise
after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings.

18. HOW MANY STAGES DOES ROME
HAVE?
• Rome: Empire [Fourth Kingdom]
• Rome: Ten kingdoms
[Ten Horns]
9. Rome: Little Horn [Papal Rome]

19. HOW LONG WOULD THE LITTLE
HORN’S DOMINION LAST?
DANIEL 7:25
And he shall speak [great] words against the most
High, and shall wear out the saints of the most
High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time
and times and the dividing of time.
His Dominion: Time, Times, and ½ of Time.
4. Time= one year
5. Times= two years
6. ½ of Time= half of a year

20. BIBLE EXPLANATION: YEAR/DAY…?
• Ten kingdoms were complete in 476 A. D.; if the
little horn ruled until the judgment (in 1844), then
the three and one half times of dominion of the
little horn must be 1260 years, and not literal
days. If the days were literal, then the little horn
would have ruled only from 476-479 A. D.
• GENESIS 5:5 [Days Adam lived were 930 years]
• GENESIS 6:3: [Days are linked with years.] [His
days shall be years.]
4. The Papacy did indeed rule for 1260 years, during
which the true church had to flee during that
period. 538-1798 A.D=1260 years.

21. EXAMINING, UNDERSTANDING,
ESTABLISHING, AND COMPUTING…
 The Jewish Calendar: 12 months [year]
 Each months: 30 days
EZEKIEL 4:6
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again
on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of
the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed
thee each day for a year.

22. REVELATION 11:2, 3
But the court which is without the temple leave out,
and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty
[and] two months. And I will give [power] unto my
two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred [and] threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.

23. 1260 DAYS=YEARS=42 MONTHS
REVELATION 12:6, 14
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she
hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed
her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore
days. And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is nourished for a time,
and times, and half a time, from the face of the
serpent.

24. DANIEL 7 AND REVELATION 13:5
ARE PARALLELS
 Each biblical month has: 30 days
 Each biblical year has: 12 months or 360 days
 30*12 = 360 days
 42 months * 30days = 1260 years
 Time=1 year + Times=2 years + ½ Time= 6
months=(42 months/1260years)

25. WHAT TOOK PLACE AFTER 1260
YEARS?
REVELATION 13:9, 10
If any man have an ear, let him hear. 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.
 General Berthier captures, arrests, and curtails
Rome’s [Papal Rome] authority to govern in the
year 1798
 What is the meaning of the sword?

26. ROMANS 13:4
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But
if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he
beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath
upon him that doeth evil.
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.

27. WHO WAS WOUNDED WITH/BY THE
SWORD?
DANIEL 7:26, 27
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away
his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto
the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the
greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the
most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting
kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey
him.

28. ZEROING ON REVELATION’S FIRST
BEAST
 How many nations have arise shortly after 476
A.D.?
 How many have ruled for 1260 years?
 How many have been held captive by the sword?
 How many will have had a resurrection making the
entire world wonder after the beast?
 How many a power will exist until Jesus comes?
 Can the antichrist be a person?
 Could this power or system have ruled for a
millennia?
 Where is the epicentre of this first beast power
based and commandeered?

29. LOCATION: FIRST BEAST
DANIEL 7:2, 3
…The four winds of the heaven strove upon the great
sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another.
ISAIAH 17:12
Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make
a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing
of nations, [that] make a rushing like the rushing of
mighty waters!
DANIEL 7:8
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up
among them another little horn, before whom there
were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of
man, and a mouth speaking great things.

30. 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.

31. BEHAVIOURAL PATTERN: FIRST
BEAST
DANIEL 7:25
And he shall speak [great] words against the most
High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and think to change times and laws: and they shall
be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time.
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.
JOHN 10:33
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work
we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because
that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

32. REVELATION’S FIRST BEAST
SPEAKS BLASPHEMIES
MARK 2:7
Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins but God only?

33. FIRST BEAST BLASPHEMES AGAINST
GOD
DANIEL 7:21
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the
saints, and prevailed against them...
REVELATION 13:5, 6
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. And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and
them that dwell in heaven.

34. SUMMARY OF BLASPHEMIES: FIRST
BEAST
 First Beast claims to be God
 First Beast claims to forgive sins
 First Beast makes war against the Saints of God
 First Beast claims to change Times and Laws
Notice: The Roman Catholic System has changed
God’s prophetic calendar.

35. VALUES: NON-NEGOTIABLE--EVEN IN THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
“The protection of a work-free Sunday as an essential pillar
of the European Social Model and a part of the European
cultural heritage.” The declaration shows just how, despite
much tolerance for diversity, everything is still not
possible. The document, which must be ratified by gaining
a majority of MEP’s signatures by May of this year, states
in part that “. . . the European institutions, bodies and
agencies have not worked on Sundays since their
creation and do not intend to do so in the future, despite
the diversity of religious, cultural and ethnic
backgrounds of EU officials and decision-makers . . .”
Written Declaration 0009/2009, recently presented to the body
(Feb 02, 2009)

36. QUOTES: CATHOLIC SOURCES
“We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.”
The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII
page 304. Benziger Bros., New York
“Prompta Bibliotheca” “The pope is of so great
authority and power that he can modify, explain, or
interpret even divine laws. The pope can modify
divine laws, since his power is not of man but of
God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth
with most ample power of binding and loosing [the
plain inference is that this is done by modifying
divine law] his sheep.”

37. ELLEN WHITE, EDUCATION, p. 101
“. . . even the child, as he comes in contact with
nature, will see cause for perplexity. He
cannot but recognize the working of
antagonistic forces. It is here that nature
needs an interpreter. Looking upon the evil
manifest even in the natural world, all have the
same sorrowful lesson to learn--"An enemy
hath done this." Matthew 13:28.”

38. Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, Maryland, September
23, 1893:
“The Catholic Church for over one thousand years
before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her
divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to
Sunday. …The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this
day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic
Church as spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word
of remonstrance from the Protestant world.”
“Who gave you authority to tamper with the
fourth?”
Library of Christian Doctrine; Why Don't You Keep
Holy the Sabbath Day pages 3, 4.

40. UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE: A STUNNING
PRECEDENT
Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul [Time Magazine: The
Holy Alliance]
A checklist: REVELATION 13:11-18
 Does the first beast and his image become buddies?
 Does the papacy arise from Europe?
 Does the papacy govern from Europe?
 Is his seat in Rome [Vatican]?
 Does the Roman Catholic system in its writings claim that
the Pope is Christ on earth?
 Does the Roman Catholic system have a history stained in
blood?
 Through the inquisition, did this church wear out and
persecute the people of God?

41. THREE METHODS OF PROPHETIC
INTERPRETATION
Did the Papacy try to change God’s Law
[Prophetic Calendar]?
Two: Alcazar & Rebeira
 Alcazar: Preterism: Bible prophecy [Antichrist]
is fulfilled in the past
 Rebeira: Antipas Epiphanies [Futurism]:
someone will arise out of the Middle East
 Adventist: Historicist: History/Church/Little
Horn

42. ROMAN CATHOLIC SYSTEM CHANGED
GOD’S PROPHETIC CALENDAR
1. The time: Antichrist will arise
2. The place: Antichrist will arise out of
3. The system: Bible identifies as the Apostate
Church
 Who change God’s Law?
ACTS 10:25, 26
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him,
and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself
also am a man.

43. ONLY GOD IS SUPREME: EARTH
 Who on earth have power to forgive sins?
 Who on earth have power to change God’s Law?
 Who on earth is infallible in faith and morals?
 Who on earth is able to set up and take down kings?
 Any system which claims it does these things is
committing Blasphemy against God.

44. FIRST BEAST: NAME & NUMBER?
REVELATION 13:1, 16-18
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. 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: 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. …It is the number of a
man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore
[and] six.

45. LANGUAGE: FIRST BEAST…?
Long ago…[numbers were written with letters]
In Greek: [Alpha & Omega]
Roman poets used Six Letters of the alphabet to write
all the numbers know as: “Roman Numerals”
LATIN
V= 5 F= 0 D= 500
I= 1 I= 1 E= 0
C= 100 L= 50 I= 1
A= 0 I= 1
R= 0 I= 1
I= 1
U= 5
S= 0
112 + 53 + 501= 666

46. HIS NAME AND NUMBER VALUE
Note: In the original Roman System, the “M” did not exist.
Whenever they wrote 1000, they would write it as “DD”.
The beast has a name whose number value is 666
The Pope’s Official Latin Title:
VICARIUS FILII DEI
SUBSTITUTE SON GOD
REPLACEMENT
REPRESENTATIVE
The word “Antichrist” does not necessarily mean one who is
against Christ. Rather, one who seeks to occupy the place of
Christ, thereby going against Christ himself.

47. REVELATION 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
her plagues.
No doubt... this passage refers to:
The Roman Catholic [Apostate System]
