I have seen it for myself in revelation that the papacy was the 2nd beast of revelation when it worked in tandem with the imperial state. Church (2nd beast) and Imperial State (1st beast) worked together and served each other. But the Imperial State is gone now and the 2nd beast operates by itself and thus cannot serve as beast without the 1st beast. So it is now the False Prophet. The era of the 1st beast and 2nd beast was about 1260 years. This era is gone now and We are now in the era of Whore of Babylon where the beast (1st beast that is) once was, now is not, and is yet to come.
This is what I have seen on my own.
