As shown in part 1 of Messiah 2030 on day 3 of creation week the land was provided and yielded seed. Then during millennial day 3 Abraham was promised the land and seed. Also the Torah is given which is also referred to as the seed of Israel.
Now there is a noteworthy distinction between Beast 1 and Beast 2 of Revelation 13. Beast 1 comes from the Sea (See the thread "The Whore of Babylon and the Northern Kingdom). Beast 2, the False Prophet comes from the Land!
Therefore since the land is symbolic of Israel does it mean the False Prophet must come from Israel?
Here is another consideration my brother... I have come to believe the books of Daniel and Revelation of Jesus Christ, have been revealed in the dates 1948 and 1967, 688 CE when the dome of rock started it's construction, and that the "False Prophet" is Mohamed, and the"beast" is Islam. See for yourself and study this work by Ellis Skolfield. The "narrow road" is getting defined more and more every day.
Peace in all you do my brother, and keep "seeking" and you will find.
I think it is very clear from the text that both the Beast and the False Prophet are actual people that have total world dominance for a period of 3.5 years. Both of whom are literally thrown into the lake of fire at the return of the Messiah. By your interpretation Mohamed would have to have his own special resurrection and an entire corporate entity (Islam) would also have to some how be thrown in as well. There are a lot of good sounding theories out there but almost always they focus on the parts and totally neglect the whole. You have to be able to put the pieces together, run the simulation of how things would work in the sequence of events laid out in the scripture, to see if it actually works in a sensible way. Or to put it another way, the whole prophecy should be much easier to understand once the literal identities are known. Knowing the true identity of the relevant entities should never make it harder to understand it should make it dramatically simpler.
Shalom
Dear sir, The Beast has never been a person. Always a kingdom. Terms are important definitely. If you are interested in some mind expansion knowledge, Regarding God's Prophetic time precision, I suggest you go to and read the most excellent work on the "13 time stamps " and Historical facts that point us to the opened "seals" of Daniel and Revelation. Then perhaps you will understand what I have written about Mohamed and Islam. Not my work but another Godly man. When you can see it, you will spread it as much as you can so that all will see and not be looking for Man made ideas about "times and seasons" DAY as a Thousands YEARS has got to be the measuring rod and you will see my friend.
Peace to all who read and study to show thyself approved. :)
"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. " 2 Thessalonians 2
Revelation 13:18
"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a MAN: His number is 666."
In the scriptures the king and his kingdom are often referred to synonymously. There is the beast the man and there is the beast the kingdom.
" And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:5-8
Revelation 19:20
"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone."
Now dear Sir, I recommend you go directly to the well, the pristine water of the Word of God, and may it always be your main source!
Blessings and Shalom.
