Here is the model so that:
-
The Beast = a composite global political-military system (UN-style) with seven heads (successive or coexisting major powers).
-
The Papacy = blended in with the beast — not the entire beast, but a key part in its prophetic life with influence and control.
-
Mystery Babylon = Judaism, who rides the beast, controlling and influencing it through alliances, finance, and diplomacy.
This actually makes a lot of sense in terms of how Revelation 13 and 17 work together.
1️⃣ Beast Structure in this View
-
Beast body = political and military power of the world — in the end times, something akin to the UN + major world powers acting in concert with Judaism, Islaam, & Christianity.
-
Seven heads = major phases or seats of beast power across history (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome) none of which obeyed God's Commands.
-
Secular Israel (Zionist) fits in as head 7 in a historicist count.
-
-
Ten horns = final end-time alliance of kings/powers that give their strength to the beast for “one hour” (Rev 17:12).
-
Crowns = active ruling authority during the end-time phase.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Revelation 17:11
2️⃣ The Papacy’s Role
-
In this model, the papacy is blended in with the beast, not the whole beast.
-
It represents the religious-political phase of Rome (Daniel’s little horn period from 538–1798).
-
After 1260 years in 1798 the ending of papal political control, papal influence morphs into the control of Napoleon Bonaparte, still very much a part of the beast but not as much independent power politically.
3️⃣ Mystery Babylon’s Role
-
Revelation 17’s woman = apostate Israel/Judaism.
-
She rides the beast — meaning she uses the global political-military system (with all its heads, including the papacy) for her own purposes.
-
Her power is economic, political, and diplomatic — not exactly military.
-
The kings of the earth commit “fornication” with her — symbolic of corrupt alliances and shared goals.
-
Eventually, the beast (including the papacy and other heads) turns against her and destroys her (Rev 17:16–17).
4️⃣ How This Fits the Text
-
Revelation 13: Focus on the beast’s composite nature — all the heads {Kingdoms, Government}, including the papal head, Christianity, Islaam, Judaism, working together.
-
Revelation 17: Focus on the woman (Mystery Babylon) riding the beast — Jewish/Israeli influence using the beast system until she’s betrayed.
-
Daniel 7: Shows the little horn phase (papacy) within the Roman beast, but not the full end-time beast structure.
5️⃣ End-Time Picture
-
Global beast system (UN-like body) = 7 heads (historic empires, including the papacy and Christianity, Islaam, Judaism) + 10 horns (final kings).
-
Papacy and Christianity = blended in with the beast, with revived global influence.
-
Mystery Babylon = apostate Israel riding this entire beast, wielding disproportionate influence.
-
Military dominance = from the beast’s political-military body — fulfilling “Who can make war with the beast?”
-
Judgment = the beast turns on the woman and destroys her (Rev 17:16).
Why is the Entire Beast Considered Antichrist?
Well, lets recap. The "little horn" in Daniel speaks blasphemies against God, Changes His Laws and Holidays. The beast has the same name on it's heads. The entire world lies in the power of the wicked one (1 John 5:19). There is NO government today, absolutely NONE that observe God's Commands, Laws, Set Times, Feasts, they are all an abomination. Every world religion, Judaism, Christianity, Muslim, Hindu, and many more make up this Antichrist, this beast, is in opposition to God. None of them keeps God's Laws and commands, NOT ONE!
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36
