Listening to this (video at end of this post), my mind kept going to Revelation 13 & 14 concerning the "image of the beast."
The "image" part of it has intrigued me for some time now. Is the image somehow, something that is man made? I don't know.
There are two beasts; one mentioned in Revelation 13:1-10 and the second; v.11-18. The first rises up out of the sea and the dragon (satan?) gave him his power, his seat and great authority.
All the world (v.3) worshiped the dragon that gave power to this beast from the sea (v.4)
This first beast has SEVEN heads and TEN horns. Question: Could there have been one horn per head at a point in time? But it says SEVEN heads. Can it be that when a horn is plucked up, so too, it's corresponding head goes too? Just wondering ..
Of the four beasts in Daniel, the fourth's number of heads is not mentioned, but it does have ten horns, three of which are plucked up and replaced by the little horn (antichrist, I believe)
Daniel 7:
7 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.
8 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.
If the ten horns are ten kings and if there are ten nations (confederacy of nations? e.g. "unions?" European Union (EU), North American Union (NAU), Mediterranean Union (MU) (SAT may have a better term for than MU but I can't think of it right now), etc.) ruled by these ten kings, what are the three kings (horns) uprooted? The old Roman Empire consisted of Europe and the Mediterranean region, mostly. North America, as we know it today, which is probably what matters .. "today", came largely out of Europe. So if the three horns (kings) uprooted by the antichrist are the heads of the NAU, EU and MU (old Roman Empire revived and expanded), then the antichrist would be ruling over what amounts to the power center of the earth, economically and militarily (assuming somewhat).
The second beast of Revelation 13 is all very interesting too. He is what "causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast," (Revelation 13:12)
At least one big problem with my understanding here: The above quoted Daniel 7:7-8 talks about the ten horns and three being plucked up by a smaller one and Revelation 13:3 talks about "one of the heads as it were wounded to death" and v.1 clearly says "seven heads." While I think it may be a timing thing as I stated above, it also may not be that.
Anyway, I find this video, largely concerning 5G, to be very interesting and something we should all be aware of:
