The first beast: the antichrist
“Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name[s]” (Rev. 13:1).
Days after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, which perhaps opened a portal to Hell and released the Spirit of The Antichrist into our world, Donald J. Trump was conceived (b. June 14, 1946). “‘He will be a child of fornication,’ says St. John Damascene, ‘and his birth will be saturated with the breath and spirit of Satan’.” End of the Present World (EPW) by Fr. Charles Arminjon, p. 43. De fide orthodoxa.
The First Beast, the Antichrist, rises from the Sea The sea represents people of the world, and the beast, which reveals itself over seven different time periods (or hills, as in City Upon A Hill), each led by its own head, is of the people, who becomes a powerful ruler (see Rev. 17 and Dn. 7). The last head reigns twice. “The beast that existed once but exists no longer is an eighth king, but really belongs to the seven and is headed for destruction. The ten horns that you saw represent ten kings (diadems) who have not yet been crowned” (Rev. 17:11-12). Each head is blasphemous, as he presents himself above God.
Description of the First Beast, the Antichrist “The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority” (Rev. 13:2).
Each of these seven heads has its own characteristics, which altogether describe the one beast. The Book of Daniel 7:1-6 describes the beastly characteristics of the lion, bear and leopard, which the apostle John refers to in his vision. The Prophet Daniel received a vision of four beasts arising from the same sea of evil, while St. John received a similar vision, but as one beast with seven heads. The dragon is Satan, aka Lucifer, the fallen angel. He gives his power and throne to the First Beast, the Antichrist, Donald J. Trump.
The throne of Satan and the First Beast, the Antichrist “Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it” (Rev. 12:7-9).
Satan cannot become incarnate, the way the Son of God, Our Lord Jesus Christ became human. However, he can give his “power and throne, along with great authority” to anyone he wishes. He attempted to do so in the third temptation he proposed to Christ:
“Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to him, ‘All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me.’ At this, Jesus said to him, ‘Get away, Satan! It is written: ‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve’’” (Mt. 4:8-10).
The Devil gives his throne to the First Beast, the Antichrist Jesus rejected all of Satan’s efforts to corrupt him, but the First Beast, the Antichrist (all seven heads), embody this last temptation. Together, these seven heads, as one beast, reign over the world to dominate and destroy its inhabitants. The 7th & 8th heads belong to one person, Donald J. Trump.
“I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast” (Rev. 13:3).
Whether former President Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election, or it was stolen, in either case he lost his power. It appears to be a mortal wound to the Head of State. However, in spite of the 4 indictments, encompassing 91 charges, which he must face in court, there is a real possibility he will be reelected. This explains the 8th king, who is really one of the seven, and it is where we find ourselves at the present time (August 2023).
