2 Peter 1:3 kjvPoint to one Prophet in Scripture that rambled on about political events.
MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN wasn't babble, it the LORD's response to disrespect:2 Peter 1:3 kjv
3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Daniel comes to mind when he spoke about the writing on the wall.
Our life does have political influences involved.
The political influences are there, just as much as spiritual forces we face.
Both forces are involved. If we talk about the political we realize:
The seed is parallel to the Word of God
Spiritual is more important, but we look at both.

John alludes to the book of Daniel in Revelation 13:1-2, the "beast-Empire" rises 'from the sea of spiritism' just like in Daniel (Isa. 27:1; Dan. 7:2-3). That points to the location of the "interpretative key" necessary for decoding the symbolism used here.Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. (Rev. 13:11 NKJ)
Most translations render ἀρνίον (721 arnion) as "Lamb" in Revelation 13:11 but its a fact lambs don't have horns. Accordingly, The Idiomatic Translation of the New Testament by William Graham MacDonald translates ἀρνίον as "ram" and the Louw Nida Lexicon agrees:Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last...
"The ram which you saw, having the two horns-- they are the kings of Media and Persia. (Dan. 8:3, 20 NKJ)
I saw another beast emerge from the earth, having two horns like a ram. He spoke like a dragon (Rev. 13:11 MIT)
Therefore, given the book of Daniel provides the interpretive keys to understanding much of the book of Revelation, it follows the 'two horned ram" in Revelation symbolizes a dual world power, just as the two horned ram did in the book of Daniel.4.25 ἀρνίονa, ου n: (derivative of ἀρήν ‘lamb,’ 4.24) a sheep of any age—‘lamb, sheep, ram.’ εἶχεν κέρατα δύο ὅμοια ἀρνίῳ ‘he had two horns like those of a ram’ Re 13:11. In the one context in the NT, namely, Re 13:11, in which ἀρνίον refers literally to a sheep, it is used in a phrase referring to the horns of an ἀρνίον. In such a context the reference is undoubtedly to a ‘ram,’ that is to say, the adult male of sheep.-Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996).

Formerly Christian free market nations, Britain and America now "speak like a Dragon" deploying their technological and military might in service to the Seed of Satan Adonikam and his centrally controlled membership only 666 economy.This second beast is referred to as a θηρίον, “beast,” only here in Revelation, for throughout the remainder of this pericope (vv 11–18), it/he is referred to only by a series of eight third-person singular verbs (13:11[2x], 12[2x], 13[2x], 14, 16) and two occurrences of the pronoun αὐτός (13:14, 15). This figure is elsewhere referred to as the “false prophet” (16:13; 19:20; 20:10), which clearly conveys the role the author assigns him.-Aune, D. E. (1998). Revelation 6–16 (Vol. 52B, p. 755).
