DBY Daniel 8:21 Andthe rough goat is theking of Greece; andthe great horn that wasbetween his eyes is thefirst king.

DBY Daniel 2:33 itslegs of iron, its feet[w/ ten toes] part ofiron and part of clay.

DBY Daniel 2:40 Andthe fourth kingdomshall be strong as iron:forasmuch as ironbreaketh in pieces andsubdueth everything,

DBY Revelation 13:1And I stood upon thesand of the sea; and Isaw a beast rising outof the sea, having tenhorns and sevenheads, and upon itshorns ten [had]diadems,

[Notice this system has

DBY Daniel 7:23 Hesaid thus: The fourthbeast shall be a fourthkingdom upon theearth, which shall bedifferent from all thekingdoms,

and as iron thatbreaketh all these, soshall it break inpieces and bruise.

different from all thebeasts that were beforeit;

Ten Nations to Seven Nations [at the 1260th Day]

DBY Daniel 2:41 Andwhereas thou sawestthe feet and toes, partof potter's clay, andpart of iron,

the kingdom shall bedivided; ... thekingdom shall bepartly strong andpartly fragile[broken].

DBY Daniel 8:9 Andout of (the) one ofthem came forth alittle horn,

which becameexceeding great,toward the south, andtoward the east, andtoward the beauty {ofthe earth}. 10 And itbecame great, even tothe host of heaven;and it cast down{some} of the host andof the stars to theground, and trampledupon them. 11 (And hemagnified {himself}even to the prince ofthe host, and from himthe continual{sacrifice} was takenaway, and the place ofhis sanctuary was castdown. 12 And a timeof trial was appointedunto the continual{sacrifice} by reasonof transgression.) Andit cast down the truthto the ground; and itpractised andprospered.

DBY Daniel 8:23 Andat the latter time oftheir kingdom, whenthe transgressors shallhave come to the full,

a king of boldcountenance, andunderstanding riddles,shall stand up. 24 Andhis power shall bemighty, but not by hisown power; and heshall destroymarvellously,

and shall prosper, andshall practise, andshall destroy themighty ones, and thepeople of the saints. 25And through hiscunning shall he causecraft to prosper in hishand; and he willmagnify {himself} inhis heart, and byprosperity will corruptmany; and he willstand up against thePrince of princes: buthe shall be brokenwithout hand.

DBY Revelation 12:3And another sign wasseen in the heaven:and behold, a great reddragon, having sevenheads and ten horns,and on his headsseven diadems;[Notice this system hasseven crowns ordiadems on its heads;one for each nation.]

DBY Revelation 13:3and one of his heads{was} as slain todeath, and his woundof death had beenhealed:

and the whole earthwondered after thebeast.

DBY Revelation 13:4And they did homageto the dragon, becausehe gave the authorityto the beast; and theydid homage to thebeast, saying, Who{is} like to the beast?and who can make warwith it? 5 And therewas given to it amouth, speaking greatthings andblasphemies; and therewas given to itauthority to pursue itscareer forty-twomonths. 6 And itopened its mouth forblasphemies againstGod, to blaspheme hisname and histabernacle, and thosewho have theirtabernacle in theheaven. 7 And therewas given to it to makewar with the saints,

...and it had ten horns.DBY Daniel 7:8 Iconsidered the [ten]horns, and behold,

there came up amongthem another, a littlehorn, before whichthree of the firsthorns were pluckedup by the roots;

and behold, in thishorn were eyes like theeyes of a man, and amouth speaking greatthings.

DBY Daniel 7:20 andconcerning the tenhorns that were in itshead,

and the other [littlehorn] that came up,and before whichthree fell:

even that horn that hadeyes, and a mouthspeaking great things,and whose look wasmore imposing than itsfellows. 21 I beheld,and that horn madewar with the saints,and prevailed overthem;

and to overcome them;and there was given toit authority over everytribe, and people, andtongue, and nation;

Graphic of the Beast of Revelation

Kingdom of God

DBY Daniel 2:34 Thou sawest till a stone was cut out without hands;and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and clay, and broke them topieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and thegold broken in pieces together, and they became like the chaff of thesummer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, and no

DBY Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of theheavens set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and thesovereignty thereof shall not be left to another people: it shall break inpieces and consume all these kingdoms, but itself shall stand for olam.45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountainwithout hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay,the silver, and the gold, --the great God hath made known to the kingwhat shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and theinterpretation of it sure.

DBY Daniel 7:9 I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of daysdid sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head likepure wool; his throne was flames of fire, {and} its wheels burning fire.10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousandthousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousandstood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.11 I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that thehorn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed,and it was given up to be burned with fire.

DBY Daniel 7:14 And there was given him [Christ] dominion, andglory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages shouldserve him: his dominion is an olam dominion, which shall not passaway, and his kingdom {that} which shall not be destroyed.

DBY Daniel 7:27 But the kingdom and the dominion, and thegreatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be givento the people of the saints of the most high {places}. His kingdom isan olam kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

DBY Revelation 12:7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael andhis angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and hisangels; 8 and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more inthe heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, hewho is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitableworld, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out withhim. 10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is comethe salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and theauthority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been castout, who accused them before our God day and night:

DBY Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy he who has part in the firstresurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shallbe priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousandyears.

DBY Revelation 21:4 And he shall wipe away every tear from theireyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distressshall exist any more, for the former things have passed away. 5 And hethat sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says{to me}, Write, for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said tome, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and theend.

Dan 9:24-27(Dan 9:27; 11:31; Rev 13:5; Dan 7:25; 12:7)

DBY Luke 21:20 But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then knowthat its desolation is drawn nigh.

[DBY Ezekiel 38:16-18] And thou shalt come up against my people Israel as acloud to cover the land--it shall be at the end of days--and I will bringthee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall behallowed in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 17 Thus saith the LordJehovah: Art thou not he of whom I have spoken in old time through myservants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days, for {many}

years, that I would bring thee against them? 18 And it shall come to passin that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,saith the Lord Jehovah, {that} my fury shall come up in my face....

[DBY Revelation 16:14,16] for they are {the} spirits of demons, doing signs;which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather themtogether to the war of {that} great day of God the Almighty.... 16 And hegathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon.

[Revelation 19:19] And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and theirarmies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse,and against his army. [Revelation 20:9] And they went up on the breadth ofthe earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: andfire came down {from God} out of the heaven and devoured them.]

These armies are some of the armies coming against Jerusalem (see PP5 & PP6)

E. Abomination of Desolation[see PP2]

DBY Mark 13:14 Butwhen ye shall see theabomination of desolationstanding where it shouldnot, (he that reads let himconsider {it},)

DBY Matthew 24:15 Whentherefore ye shall see theabomination of desolation,which is spoken of throughDaniel the prophet, standingin holy place, (he that reads lethim understand,)

DBY 2 Thessalonians2:3 Let not any onedeceive you in anymanner, because {it willnot be} unless theapostasy have firstcome, and the man ofsin have been revealed,the son of perdition; 4who opposes and exaltshimself on high againstall called God, or objectof veneration; so that hehimself sits down in thetemple of God,showing himself thathe is God.

DBY Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the continual {sacrifice} is taken away, andthe abomination that makes desolate set up,(1) {there shall be} a thousand, twohundred, and ninety days.

DBY Daniel 11:31 And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the

sanctuary, the fortress, and shall take away the continual {sacrifice}, and they shallplace (2) the abomination that makes desolate.

F. About Beast and the Abomination of Desolation [As we see in the Prophecy Papers 2 (PP2), there is a system of the Beastand there is a Beast-man, who is the anti-Christ. You may need to study PP2first to understand the following.]

This system of the Beast is actually the system of the abomination ofdesolation, because it is through this system's power (given to the Beast-man) that the world will be destroyed. (Dan 7:11, 24-25; Rev 19:20; see PP5)

This abomination is given to the world on the 1290th day before Christreturns. (Dan 12:11; PP2)

The abomination of desolation is also the abominable person, who is thelittle horn that will speak for the system of the Beast. He is thehorn/king/leader with eyes and mouth speaking great things and blasphemyagainst the most high and his saints. (Dan 8:9-10; 7:8, 11a, 20-21-, 24-25;Rev 13:5-7; pp171ff)  He is the man with the number six-hundred andsixty six (666) that can be calculated for his name ("number of his name").

Beast-man shares power with the ten nations: He is the Beast-man who isconnected and has power with the ten horns/kings (toes) or nations (PP2;Rev 17:12; 13:1; Dan 2:41-43; 7:7-8, 20, 24) He has power with them only fora short period of time. (Rev 17:10, 12)

30 Days is the short time: The short time or the "one hour" that the tennations have power with the Beast-man is for 30 days or 1290 days minus1260 days. (Rev 17:10, 12)Â

After this short time the Beast-man is given the full power of the systemto speak for the whole group of nations. (Rev 17:13, 17; 13:12, 15, 5; Dan 7:8,20, 24-25) Since the power of the Beast-system is given to the Beast-man (thelittle horn) for 1260 days or 42 months (Rev 13:5; Dan 7:8, 25), he thusspeaks for the system; he is the eyes and mouth of the Beast-system for 1260days. (Rev 13:5; Dan 7:25)

Beast-man given this power of the nations after three of the ten are"subdued": But the Beast-man is only given this power after three of the tennations are "plucked up" or after three "fell" or after "he shall subdue threekings." (Dan 7:8, 20, 24)

Three "subdued" by a deadly wound of war: The removal of these threenations is the "deadly wound" to the seventh head. (Rev 13:3; 17:9-10) Thisdeadly wound is a wound of war ("sword," Rev 13:14), with nuclear weaponsand missiles (Rev 13:13).

Beast-man "subdues" the three: The one who will subdue three kings(Dan 7:24),

is the "little horn" of Daniel 7:8,11, 20, 24; 8:9,is the king of Daniel 8:23-25,is the king of Daniel 11:36-45,is the abomination of Daniel 11:31; 12:11 and Matthew 24:15,is the "man of sin" or the "son of perdition" of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12,is the mouth or spokesman or leader of the Beast system (Rev 13:5-6;Dan 7:8, 20; 24-25),and is the false prophet or lamb or anti-Christ of Revelation who speaksfor Satan the Dragon (Rev 13:11-18, 4; 16:13; 20:2), who has the powerto kill and destroy, and who has the number of his name that calculatesto six-hundred and sixty-six (666).

During this Beast-man's 1260 day sole rule he will magnify himself in hismind until he, at the end, will actually think he is God, and will say he is God.(Dan 8:25; 7:8, 11 25; 11:37; 2 Thes 2:4) At that time, at the end of the 1260days, he will be destroyed, and the Kingdom of God will take over thekingdoms of men. (Dan 2:44; 7:11, 25-27; 8:25; PP5, PP6) It is about that time(at the end of the 1260 days, when the Beast-man says he himself is God)that Jesus spoke about when he said in Matthew 24:15:

"When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which isspoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in (the) holy place, (hethat reads let him understand,)"

G. Great Tribulation (Continued)

to those that are with child,and those that give suck inthose days. 20 But pray thatyour flight may not be inwinter time nor on sabbath: 21for then shall there be greattribulation, such as has notbeen from {the} beginning of{the} world until now, norever shall be; 22 and if thosedays had not been cut short, noflesh had been saved; but onaccount of the elect those daysshall be cut short. 23 Then ifany one say to you, Behold,here is the Christ, or here,believe {it} not. 24 For thereshall arise false Christs, andfalse prophets, and shall givegreat signs and wonders, so asto mislead, if possible, eventhe elect. 25 Behold, I havetold you beforehand. 26 Iftherefore they say to you,Behold, he is in the desert, gonot forth; behold, {he is} inthe inner chambers, do notbelieve {it}.

these are days ofavenging, that all thethings that are writtenmay be accomplished.23 But woe to them thatare with child and tothem who give suck inthose days, for thereshall be great distressupon the land and wrathupon this people. 24And they shall fall bythe edge of the sword,and be led captive intoall the nations; andJerusalem shall betrodden down of {the}nations until {the} timesof {the} nations befulfilled.

I. As in the Day of Noah

The End will come at once, as the flood in Noah's day and thedestruction of Sodom:

As an overrunning flood (Nah 1:8); speedy riddance (Zeph 1:18); a moment (Ps73:18);

one day (Isa 10:17); in an instant, suddenly (Isa 29:5); destroy and devour at once (Isa42:14); avenge them speedily (Lk 18:8; Eccl 9:12); one day (rev 18:8); as a whirlwind(Ps 58:9-10); one hour (Rev 18:10, 19); as a flood (Dan 9:26); one day (Isa 47:9);suddenly (1 Thes 5:3); swiftly, speedily (Joel 3:4; Mal 3:5)

The transgressors destroyed together:

(ps 37:38; Isa 1:28; Jer 51:48-49)

Evil shall not raise again; perpetual peace after the instant destruction:

they shall not learn war anymore (Isa 2:4; Mic 4:3); violence no more (Isa 60:18);affliction not to rise a second time (Nah 1:9); shall not see evil anymore (Zeph 3:15);hail will sweep away the lies (Isa 28:17); they shall not hurt nor destroy in all God'sholy mountain or kingdom (Isa 11:9); in all God's holy mountain or kingdom, nooppressor shall pass through them anymore (Zech 9:8); God's kingdom and peace will

not depart or be removed (Isa 54:10)

At Christ's coming all the kingdoms will be his (Rev 11:15), and there will be no morewar as the above scriptures prove.

9. It deceives them that dwell on the earth (Rev 13:14)

World Deceived: How, Why10. His lying wonders appeal to those destroying themselves,

because they have not received the love of the truth that theymay be saved, and for this reason God sends to them aworking of error, that they should believe what is false, thatall might be judged who have not believed the truth, but havefound pleasure in unrighteousness ( 2 Thes 2:10-12)

11. For he shall come up, and shall become strong with adiminished people [the 7-nation Beast that came from the 10-nation Beast; diminished from 10 to 7 nations] (Dan 11:23)

12. The deceived are those that received the mark of thebeast, and those that worship his image (Rev 19:20)

Egotistical: Will Place Himself as God[As Christ fulfilled scriptures on his last day, so too will the

Beast-man fulfill many of the following verses on his last day]

13. Who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called Godor worshiped, so that he himself sits down in the temple of the God,showing himself that he is God (2 Thes 2:4) "I am God." (Ezek28:2, see Hebrew text; the prince of Tyrus was a type of the Beast-man)

dragon [Satan] (Rev 13:11)

23. False prophet (Rev 19:20; 20 10; 13:11)

World's Reaction[It is the Satan inside of him that most perfectly deceivesthe whole world and that the world worships; he is but areflection of what is inside of him]

24. And all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage ... Andit deceives those that dwell upon the earth (Rev 13:8, 14)

25. Deceives the whole world (Rev 19:20; 20:3; 12:9)

Beast gets Power and wonders from Satan

26. And the Dragon [Satan] gave it [Beast] his power (Rev 13:2)

27. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power [butthe power of Satan], and he shall prosper, and practice (Dan 8:24)

28. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god[Satan] (Dan 11:39)

World's Reaction29. And the whole earth wondered after the Beast. And theydid homage to the Dragon, because he gave authority to theBeast (Rev 13:3-4)

Other Characteristics and Actions

30. He has the number of the Beast which is 666 (Rev 13:18),which is the number of a person, not a title, state, language, ornation.

31. Man of lawlessness, Son of Destruction (2 Thes 2:3, 8) Because he is lawless he hopes to change the holy set times andlaws (Dan 7:25) To a lawless person, morals mean nothing. Thelawless have no shame.

32. In his estate shall he honor the god of forces (Dan 11:38)

33. And his power shall be mighty (Dan 8:24), and it practiced,and prospered (Dan 8:12)

34. In prosperity (or in careless security or peace), he shall destroymany (Dan 8:25; 11:24)

35. Grows great toward the south, and toward the east, and towardthe pleasant land (Dan 8:9)except the land of Edom, Moab, the chief of the children of Ammon(Dan 11:41) Remember Jerusalem, especially in the Old Testament,is the geographical center of the Bible.

36. He will stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and theland of Egypt shall not escape. (Dan 11:42)

41. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver(Dan 11:43) and no one should be able to buy or sell except hethat had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name.(Rev 13:17)

42. By reason of the Last War he will take away the dailysacrifices of the whole world, for it is with this war that the old agewill end and the new age without suffering will begin, and it is byhim that the living sacrifices of the saints will end. (See Last Warpaper; Dan 8:11, 12; 11:31)

43. And causes that those who don't worship the image [7 nationsor Satan] to be killed (Rev 13:15)

Time of the Beast's Power with Satan -- 3 1/2 Years

44. There was given to him authority to pursue his career forty-twomonths. (Rev 13:5)

45. And he shall speak great things against the Most High ... and

they shall be given into his hand until a time and times anddividing of time [3 ½ years: "time" = one year] (Dan 7:25, 8, 20,24)

46. The abomination that makes desolate (the Abomination ofDesolation) is set up 1290 days before the daily sacrifice is takenaway (Dan 12:11); the abomination is the Beast system andindividual who leads the system which is set up at first with tennations [horns] (Dan 7:8, 20, 24; Rev 13:1; PP2#pp180), but threenations [horns] are subdued or destroyed leaving seven nations[horns] (Dan 7:8, 20, 24; Rev 13:5 "deadly wound" leaving thesecond beast w/ seven nations); and it was this second beast whohad the deadly wound yet lived (Rev 13:3, 17:8) that had the"mouth speaking great things and blasphemies" (Rev 13:5; Dan 7:8,20, 25) for forty two months or a time and times and dividing oftime [3 ½ years]. (Rev 13:5; Dan 7:25)

So 30 days after the system of the Beast is set up, three nationsare destroyed, and then the seven nation beast with theindividual Beast who blasphemies God will rule for 3 ½ years or1260 days.

47. This 1260 days or 42 months rulership of the Beast System andIndividual is just before Christ and his Saints take control of thewhole world. (Dan 7:25-27, 9-11; see Beast Papers PP2 and PP3)

Church During the 3 1/2 Years

48. Holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months (Rev11:2)

49. Holy people's power scattered for a time, times, and a half [3½ years] (Dan 12:7); woman or Church nourished for a time, andtimes, and half a time [ 3 ½ years] from the face of the serpent(Rev 12:14)

50. The woman or Church is fed [Spiritual food] for 1260 days(Rev 12:7); the two witnesses teach in their 1260 days (Rev 11:3)

At the very end, Beast fights against Christ and hisSaints

51. Make war against the saints (Dan 7:21; 8:24; Rev 13:7)

52. Stand up and try to make war against the returning Christ (Dan8:25; Rev 17:14; 19:19)

53. Sits in the temple and calls himself God (2 Thes 2:4; Ezek28:2)

But54. The saints will prevail (Dan 7:22, 27; Rev 11:18)

55. The Lamb or Christ will overcome (Dan 7:14; Rev11:17; 17:14; 2 Thes 2:8)

1. Read our Prophecy Papers for more information not provided here; read the Greekand Hebrew scriptures if possible; Since the Beast-man is in the shadow of Satan, mostscriptures that describe Satan will also describe the Beast-man.

Two WitnessesThe two witnesses, noted in the book of Revelation, chapter 11, will also teach during the last1260 days, which is the same 1260 days of the Beast. They will also be killed by the Beast. Seeour Beast papers and our Two Witnesses paper for more info on this at:

www.becomingone.org/pp/pp2.htm

www.becomingone.org/pp/pp3.htm

www.becomingone.org/pp/pp8.htm

We Christians will also be alive during this last 1260 day period, unlike what the "rapture"believer believes. The resurrection of the two witnesses is not a special resurrection after theChristians are "ruptured," but the same resurrection as when the Christians are resurrected orruptured. Read all the Prophecy Papers to better understand this.

The main things to look for in the coming months are:

The appearance of the Beast-man (name = 666) along with the Beast-system (ten nations,then the seven nation Beast)

The two witnesses, who most of the world do not see as the two witnesses and that is whythey celebrate their death.

The events in the last 3 1/2 years as predicted in the Bible.

Those of the world said: "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, youhave filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's [Christ's] blood upon us."

But Peter and the apostles answered:"We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:28-29)

"All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility ... But the peculiar evil of silencing the expressionof opinion is, that it is robbing the human race ... If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity ofexchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and

livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." (John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, Chapter 2)
