the Bible shows that the
Beast of Daniel 7 & Revelation 13 is
both a King and a kingdom and not just a
kingdom as shown in your above post.
This same beast of Daniel 7 & Rev.
13 is also from the sea (kingdom) and
from the earth (king) as shown by the
verses below:
Daniel 7:2-3, "Daniel spake and
said, I
saw in
my vision by night, and,
behold, the
four winds of
the heaven strove upon
the great sea. And
four great beasts came
up from the
sea, diverse one from another. "(This would
represent 4 kingdoms on
earth of which each will
have a king over them.)
Daniel 7:7-8, "After this I
saw in
the night visions, and
behold a
fourth beast, dreadful and
terrible, and
strong exceedingly; and
it had great iron teeth: it
devoured and
brake in pieces, and
stamped the
residue with
the feet of
it: and it was diverse from all the
beasts that were before it;
and it had ten horns. 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." (This fourth beast
is a kingdom that will
have 10 horns which are
kings, and another little
horn is a son of a king,
who plucks up 3 of the
first 3 horns by the
roots. This little
horn has eyes to see and a
mouth to speak.)
Daniel 7:11, "I
beheld then because of
the voice of
the great words which
the horn spake: I
beheld even till the
beast was
slain, and
his body destroyed, and
given to
the burning flame."
(This beast is a
man and now a horn who
is a king who is
eventually slain and his
body destroyed and given
to the burning flame
(the beast AC is thrown
into the lake of fire
and brimstone)
Daniel 7:17, "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall
arise out
of the
earth."
(These 4 beasts are
4 men who are 4 kings
who arise out of the
earth.)
Daniel 7:19-20,
"Then I
would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were
of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows."
(This
fourth beast is a
kingdom with a king,
other horn, that has
eyes and a mouth to
speak is a
man.)
Daniel 7:23-25, "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. 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."
(While Daniel 7:17
shows that the four beasts are
four kings which arise out of
the earth, this verse shows
that the fourth beast is the
fourth kingdom so this beast
is both a king and a
kingdom. Another shall
rise after the 10 horns; he is
the Little Horn, prince, son
of a king, who arises to
become a horn and is now a
king. He is the beast of
Rev. 13:5 who continues for 42
months.)
Rev. 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. (This beast
represents a kingdom.)
Rev. 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."
(The beast that the
dragon gives his power to is
the Antichrist who was the
Little Horn who became a
King (Horn).
Rev. 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. (The beast who is a
man is wounded to death
and his deadly wound was
healed.)
Rev.
13:4, "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?"
(And they
worshipped the dragon
(Satan) which gave power
to the beast and they
worshipped the beast,
Antichrist, the man who
is a king. They don't
worship a kingdom.)
Rev. 13:5-8, "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. 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. 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."
