The Beast with Seven Heads, Ten Horns Video

My Bible reads different:

11 "And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. (Rev. 17:11 NKJ)

I only interpret scripture.
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. (Rev. 13:1)

The Beast only has seven in total, where's the eighth? The entire beast is counted as the eighth, but it's with the SEVENTH head, there's no eighth head.

Daniel is the key to this symbolism. In Daniel four beasts rise, one had four heads = seven heads total.

The Seven head beast of revelation is its own head = 8 heads.

The angel is clear:

10 "There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
11 "And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
(Rev. 17:10-11 NKJ)

The beast is of the seven, which the Antichrist rules as king, was Rome and now its 10 headed version exists, is itself an eighth king and goes off into total destruction at Aramageddon, unlike the other kingdoms which continue to exist during the Millennial kingdom:

11 "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
12 "As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
(Dan. 7:11-12 NKJ)

The beast's last head is still the seventh, as the beast is "of the seven", there's no additional eighth head. Rev. 13:1 says only seven in total.

You can't be "of" something, and be that something at the same time.

The wording of scripture never impacts your interpretations. You can have the final word, I got consequential things to do.

Only God has the final word, in this case, the beast has seven heads in sequence, one after another all the way to the seventh. At John's time, five had fallen, the sixth was, the seventh was yet to come.

Similar language doesn't mean the same thing is denoted. The mortal wound to the head, for example, is not the sword wound to the Beast which he survived and which Greek tense proves the wounds happened in different times.

Daniel's fourth beast existed in the days of Christ, and its 10 horn version that God destroys exists for seven years in the End time.

There's only one mortal/deadly wound, why do you keep making stuffs unnecessarily complicated? I see it as a fake death and resurrection, the deadly wound a fake death, the miraculous healing (probably by the earth beast) a fake resurrection.

Yes, you see what you see, scripture is irrelevant. Change in Greek tense, different objects wounded, different types of wounds, none of that difference is in your vision. You see what you see, that's is it.

You're entitled to your own opinion but not your own scripture.
 
That might be witty if 1)its what i did; 2)if you didn't ignore scripture whenever it suits you.
The beast only has seven heads in total, and only one deadly wound received, John repeated the same thing several time for emphasis, you on the other hand was just making stuffs up.

The angels say the entire beast is the "eighth head":

9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10 "There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
11 "And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
(Rev. 17:9-11 NKJ)

You still miss the key Daniel gave, to interpret this. Some equivocation occurs with the word "head" and "beast", these can refer to kindgom or king ruling it. That's why the two horned beast (Britain and America) is called "the false prophet" because they unite under one leader.

Its also why a head can die from a mortal wound, but the beast government that is struck by a sword (warfare) can survive it without a healing. Context indicates whether king or kingdom is meant. The entire seven headed beast with 10 horns and blasphemous mouth, that ends up in the lake of fire, is the Antichrist Beast, the king ruling the eighth kingdom. He is also called a horn in Daniel. Context must be carefully followed to know precisely what the symbolism is referring to.

Confirming this, the Dragon has seven heads and ten horns. That symbolizes these are govenments and kings through which he works, deceiving the earth since the Tower of Babel. Perhaps you don't now, literally its the Tower of Babylon, and that is why we see the Harlot Babylon return, the mother of harlots. That's where all false religion had its start, in the Tower of Babylon. They were scattered throughout the earth taking elements of Babylonian religion with them.

The "eighth", not the "eighth head". Yes the beast itself is counted as the EIGHTH, there's no additional eighth head on top of the seven.

All I'm saying is that the seven heads do not exist simultaneously, but rather in sequential order, one comes after another, becuase the angel told John: "five have fallen, one IS, and one is yet to come." So at John's time only one head was present, which was the sixth; when the seventh comes, the sixth will be gone like the other five before it, and it will be the seventh head that receives a mortal wound. And as a matter of fact, none of that is in Daniel’s vision, Daniel saw the ten horns but not the seven heads.

Great, you finally agree with me.
