"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." Revelation 13:1.

The beast is a power with a man at the head of it. Are you ready for this?

1. The prophetic book of Daniel tells us, "Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth." Daniel 7:23. The beast represents a kingdom, a nation, a power.

2. The beast comes up from the sea. Which represents power rising.

3. Seven heads and ten horns. A head represents the headquarters of government. A horn represents a king, a ruler. "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise." Daniel 7:24.

4. The beast has the name blasphemy. Blasphemy is for a man claim to be god. "And upon his heads the name blasphemy." Revelation13:1.

5.Rome has 10 horns. A horn is a king. The Alemani (Germany), the Franks (France), Burgundians (Switzerland), the Suevi (Portugal), the Anglo-Saxon (Britain), the Visigoths (Spain), the Lombards (Italy), the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli. The last three were destroyed by the Pope of Rome because they refused to become Christians.

6. "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." Revelation 13:8.

This is not only a political power but a religious power as well. It demands worship.

On the Pope's official mitre has been seen the title Vicarius Filii Dei, which means in Latin Vicar of the Son of God. They call him, lord god the Pope. That is blasphemy.

In Revelations 13:18 it say, count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. Which is 666.

I used Roman Numerals to figure this out.
V=5
I=1
C=100
A=0
R=0
I=1
U=5
S=0

F=0
I=1
L=50
I=1
I=1

D=500
E=0
I=1

Add all the numbers up and the total is 666.
