Lord Blackwood has been arrested and is in prison for murder and for attempting to murder another on an alter of sacrifice during a demonic ceremony.
It's interesting that a movie would have an actor quoting the King James Version of the Holy Bible, but also interesting to note that the character quoting it is full of the devil and seems to think he can be the leader that this chapter describes, because he fakes his own death and resurrection. (Maybe he got the idea from verse 3 of that chapter.)
REVELATION 13
1 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.
Very simply, the beast rises up from the sea (the people) so that must mean he is elected by the people. He obviously didn't come to power through his blood-line or by appointment but rises up out of the "sea". He is popular and got the popular vote. He will probably be charismatic and charming.
He has seven heads and ten horns and each horn has a crown. Now, I'm thinking if he has seven heads, those seven heads must be just as evil as he himself because they are a part of him, maybe they have his face or at least they represent him identically in word and deed. Could this possibly be the G7 (Group of 7: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK and US)?
Ten horns with crowns on them would probably be kingdoms that grew out of the heads so the heads are supporting the horns. And, horns are used to fight with.
All the heads are on the same neck and every one of them has the same name: "Blasphemy". There's a clue.
(Personally, to me, the biggest blasphemy of all is the attempt to unite all the world's religions--- as if they all worship the same God. That is blasphemy against the One True God and Father of our Lord Jesus. There is only one God and to suggest that everyone is praying to the same God is heresy. Any religion the rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord is a false religion.)
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
His what? His name.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
There is no other god who promises salvation through faith in his name. Names are important. This seven-headed beast bears the name of blasphemy. (To blaspheme God is to insult God. Not a good idea. That's worse than rejecting God.)
For example when someone says, "I am God", that is blasphemy. I have actually heard many people tell me, "I don't need God. I am God." Yike. People who think like that usually end up in situations where they discover that they are not in control of their own lives. Sorry to say, sometimes it takes an accident or bereavement or disaster to cause them to bend the knee and repent.
I hope this doesn't have to happen to you. I hope and pray that you have an open-heart relationship with the Lord and are able to humbly admit that you need Jesus and salvation and the Holy Spirit.
Satan is upping the ante. He's raising the stakes and pulling out his big guns. He can't wait to set his newest deception on display for all of mankind. And he has the means through "Smart" phones, and all that technology to broadcast his dramatic entry onto the world's stage all over the world, simultaneously.
Before the "Antichrist" comes to power, the "False Prophet" will prepare the way before him.
Let's take a look at the rest of the description of the "First Beast":
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.
A leopard is fast (maybe he moves quickly into position and makes sudden changes internationally?) but his feet are like a bear (big heavy steps?) and his mouth is the mouth of a lion. (Either he roars something like how Hitler did? Or, he devours the world with his mouth and words. Or perhaps the Lion represents England and it means he speaks in English? I guess we'll find out.)
The dragon who gives him his power and seat and great authority, I believe now, is the "False Prophet" or the "Second Beast" we see further on in this chapter. They work in tandem with each other, supporting each other in their New World Order goals. After all, taking over the world is a big job for one man alone.
"Great authority" - What greater authority could there be than to rule the entire world?
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.
(Later in the chapter it says he had a wound by a sword and did live.) Perhaps this head is the "main head" of the beast himself that is miraculously healed. I don't see how it could mean that the head is a nation because directly following this, it says, "all the world wondered after the beast" so there is wonder directed toward the beast himself and it seems the world is amazed that he did not die.
Again, this is all up for interpretation and I am guessing for the most part. But, we will all be sure of its meaning very soon! Because IT IS HAPPENING NOW.)
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
They (all the people of the world) worshipped the False Prophet. (Here I should note that there is a man who has been called a "prophet" in the news media and one who performs "miracles" and that is Pope Francis. He is a powerful man gaining power and popularity and taking front and center stage. I believe, as I have mentioned before that he could very well be the False Prophet. He fits the bill.)
And, they worship the "First Beast" and say, "Who can go to war against this dude? He has all the military power of the world." And, we all know that that is the US today. Nobody dare attack them.
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.
12 months is a year. 3 1/2 X 12 = 42
Although the Beast or Antichrist comes on the scene with the 7-year peace covenant, it seems his greatest power will "be given him" in the middle of the 7 years when he breaks the covenant.
Who else could rule the entire world except Satan himself? He offered the world to Jesus, but Jesus refused because Satan wanted Jesus to bow down and worship him. So, that's what it's going to take to be able to rule this world, obeisance to the Devil.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
In other words, "Consider yourself warned." If we don't read His Word, how will we be warned? If we don't make a habit of continual reading and re-reading of the Holy Bible, how will we know what's going on around us in this world full of deception?
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivitiy: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
(This is a little encouragement to say that, whoever puts us believers into captivity or kills us will also be taken captive or killed. It's not "vengeance" in the way man understands "getting even", but it is a spiritual law that "Whatever a man sews, he will also reap." So, I guess it's also up to us to warn our enemies that whatever they do to us, they will reap the rewards for either good or evil. Some call that "karma".)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
This guy comes up out of the earth. Ooooh. I'm thinking his roots go down deep and he's coming from a very dark place. And I'm also thinking that the Roman Catholic Church has a history of generations of persecuting real believers and "excommunicating" heretics, burning so-called heretics at the stake and torturing those who don't bow down to Catholicism.
Also, this second beast has two horns "like a lamb"--- wow! Is he pretending to be Christlike? Is he using the cross of Christ to fraudulently represent God? But, in reality he wants the worship of God for himself?
He speaks like a dragon. How does a dragon speak? Don't dragons have a long, pointy tongue that's split in two?
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
We have seen Pope Francis catch a dove on his finger and walk under a rainbow that suddenly appeared on his arrival and "heal" children that he has held and (supposedly) cause a woman to be able to bear children... He is really garnering the kind of adulation that crowds gave to Jesus when he went about everywhere doing good. This pope is going about everywhere doing ...something.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 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:
17 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.
Most of us believe now that this "Mark of the Beast" will be an RFID computer chip. And we know that we should NOT TO ACCEPT IT. That's the dividing point right there. Will you receive the Mark of the Beast or not?
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
His number? Could his name also be his number? The way numerologists "count your name" is to use a number for each letter and add them up. One number for each of your names. So if the Antichrist has 3 names (first, middle, last) the number his name adds to could be: 666.
That's just a guess. But, whatever his name is, somehow his number will be 666. Man's number is 6 and God's number is 7. So, numbers and names are important to God.
It's important to ACCEPT the right NAME of God and it's important to REJECT the NUMBER of the Beast and the Mark of his NAME.
Did you take notes? God bless you with the knowledge of the truth so you will not be deceived in these apocalyptic times we're living in!
