BOOK OF REVELATION
(The angel continues.) 11 - “As for the beast that was and is not, it’s an eighth but it belongs to the seven {at final fulfillment, seven become one?} and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received ruling power, but they are to receive authority as kings - for one hour [hรณra - hour, time, finite season] - together with the beast{/entity/institution}. {Ten horns, kings, seats, divisions, toes-Dn2. Rev.13:5 - And a mouth was given to it, speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority for forty and two months. Second 3.5 of a lauded treaty that alas only lasts 7 yrs.}
13 These (ten) are - of one mind - and they hand over their power and authority TO the beast. 14 They will make war against the Lamb (Ps.2, Rev.6:3-4) and the Lamb will prevail [nikaรณ - prevail, subdue, overcome, conquer, from nikฤ - have the victory, 1Cor.15:(22-)27-28] for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
15 And the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.16 And the ten horns and the beast {political} will hate the prostitute {$ity Babble}. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour {consume, waste} her and will burn her with fire {warfare, seal 2, but the seals are described as a blend of their first and last effects} 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of Earth.”
