From a previous study, we know that the 2nd beast of Rev13 represents the USA, which began coming into power in 1776, which seems to fit with the accending "out of the bottomless pit". Are there other qualities of that beast that match with the "scarlet coloured beast"? Yes, at least these three:
-
In Rev13:11, the USA was "coming up out of the earth", similar to the scarlet beast that "shall ascend out of the bottomless pit"{or abyss in 1776}.
-
In Rev17:8, it is said, "they that dwell on the earth shall wonder" after the "scarlet coloured beast". And, we read in Rev13:13 that the USA "doeth great wonders".
-
In Rev13:11 the USA "spake as a dragon", like the "great red dragon" of Rev12:8, which seems to be the "scarlet coloured beast" that "was" until 1453.
This prophecy also says that this beast will "go into perdition" - being destroyed. Does prophesy indicate that the USA will be destroyed? Yes. In a previous study, we determined that the 2nd beast of Rev13 is also the "false prophet" of Revelation and is also the USA. And, in the following text, we will see the final end of the "false prophet"(the USA):
-
Revelation 19:20 And the beast{the papacy} was taken, and with him the false prophet{the USA} that wrought miracles before him{the beast/papacy}, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
So, when we consider the 2nd beast of Revelation 13 - the USA, we can easily understand how the ecclesiastical power of the papacy will be using it's image(the apostate Protestant "church") to control the civil powers of the USA, which will use it's laws to enforce the dogma of the papacy. Since we understand this, it makes good sense, to me, to understand the USA as the last of the "seven heads" of the "scarlet coloured beast".
1 Corinthians 8:4-6 ... there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 17:1,3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, ... this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 12:48-50 He that ... receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself... whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Desiring to live by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah (Deut8:3; Matt4:4)
