Revelations 18?

Question

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

John was taken into a vision, and the above is wat he saw. In his vision it was the time of the 6th king, the 7th was to be king for a short while, after him the 8th will come It also say that the 8th king will be the same as the one that is (6th). If you follow Bible prophecies you will know that those kings are the popes, that ruled after the beast recovered from his wound, about 1923, I think. Does this mean that the 7th is here right now, pope benedict, and he will stay only a short while, and then the antichrist will come? The Bible says that he, the 8th, will go into perdition.
Anybody here also see this? Does anybody have something to ad?
What do you think?

Answer 1

Its scary that so many people don't understand biblical prophesy, I agree with you 100% broer, Pope John Paul will make his appearance again as the last pope, and if or when this happens i hope the world will realize it!

Answer 2

I think a lot more reading needs to be done.
1 John chapter 4 1-6
John 2 18
I no of no deadly wound healed in 1923

Answer 3

I don't think its exactly represents the pope, but I think it represents the revived roman empire, which is coming up now. And besides later on it also speaks of the 10 horns and one horn devouring the others, I think this speaks of the nations in the revived roman empire , which I think is the EU. and so at the time of antichrist it would be having 10 nations under it.. time is not so far.. hmm :)

Answer 4

This is talking about Babylon the great , the empire of false religion....the kings of the earth committed fornication with christendom....the political powers and false religion we in cahoots together...and in one short period of time Jehovah will destroy her as she is pictured a harlot drunk with the wine of the holy ones of God...and the pope is the leader of one of the false religion here exposed as part of Babylon the great..but other religions hold as much accountability to God.

Answer 5

The Eighth of the Seven -

To understand who the “other is not yet come” and “he is the eighth, and is of the seven” (Re.17:10-11 below), we need to know that end-time prophecy is confronted with three separate and unique evil entities (Re.16:13 below). There is the dragon/Satan, the beast of Revelation 13:1, and the beast of Revelation 13:11.

It is the beast of Revelation 13:1 who is “to continue” (Re.13:5 below) along with the beast of Revelation 13:11 for an additional three and one-half years, a short space (Re.17:10 above).

The beast of Revelation 13:1 is the other who is not yet come, and the beast of Revelation 13:11 is the eighth, who is of the seven (Re.17:10-11 above).

The beast of Revelation 13:1 is seen in the book of Daniel chapter 7 as the fourth beast/king. He is a man/king and has the number 666 (Re.13:18).

At Revelation 13:1 we are witnessing the fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 "rise up out of the sea" (Dan.7:3), "out of the earth" (Dan.7:17), out of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Re.17:8).

The beast of Revelation 13:11 is seen in the book of Daniel as the "another" "little horn/king" (Dan.7:20, Dan.7:24, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:9, Dan.8:11, Dan.8:23-25, Dan.11:36-38). He is the false prophet (Re.16:13 below, Re.19:20). He is a man/king; he will not regard the God of his fathers (Dan.11:37).

After the fourth beast/king (Dan.7:7), seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1, comes upon the world scene, "another" beast/king comes up "out of the earth" (Re.13:11, Re.11:7), as did the first four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17).

Once the little horn/king of Daniel, the "another" beast of Revelation 13:11, sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4), he is seen as the scarlet colored beast of Revelation chapter 17, who has ascended out of the bottomless pit (Re.17:8).

The beasts/kings of Daniel/Revelation all come out of the bottomless pit. Their identities will not be known until they ascend out of the bottomless pit at the Fifth Trumpet (Re.9:1-2). The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1) is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem, and will be outside of that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Re.21:10) in the new earth. In the new earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1). In the new earth, all those who have transgressed against God will be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10) .

Satan gives these beasts/kings their power (Re.13:2, Re.13:12).


Re.17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Re.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition (Re.17:8).

Re.16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Re.12:9, Re.20:2, Re.9:11), and out of the mouth of the beast (Re.13:1-8), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Re.13:11-17).

Re.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 (1260 days/3 ½ years).
