I thought I would narrow the question to what is the beast coming of of the sea? Revelations 13:1

My take on this is---the beast rising from the sea is the kingdom of the antichrist, the sea is the Mediterranean Sea. The kingdom of the antichrist comprises of the nations surrounding the Med sea, the old Roman empire

Your thoughts?
 
People have been guessing at interpretations of Reevaluation since it was put down as text.

This truth should be enough for all to understand it will be understood when our Father chooses .

No man can force an interpretation on the meaning of the Book, howeve if guided by the Holy Spirit he will share it with all who will hear.

It has been my belief thaqt when the time comes, we who believe will know. I get this notion from Daniel when the Angel told him to seal up the words in a book for another generation to come will understand it................
 
The sea represents the the realm of the living dead; it is the nations/people who have no knowledge of God.

Revelation 17:15 Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where
the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages."

It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns,
Revelation 13:1
This verse coincides with Daniel 7:23-25
‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time."

This fourth and final beast kingdom is made up of a combination of 10 horns but once this kingdom is established 3 of them must fall and a little "horn" kingdom rises from out of them. This is Antichrist as depicted in verse 7
"While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully."
Because this little horn kingdom "speaks against the Most High, blasphemes God, and oppresses His holy people" (Revelation 13:6-7/Daniel 7:31), this is during the tribulation of seven years, the first half a false peace the second half the Great tribulation, Jacobs trouble (Jeremiah 30:7-10/Matthew24:15-25) the AC turns on God's people after having confirmed a covenant with them in the middle of the tribulation but God has them flee for safety,"
"then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains." Matthew 24:16/"The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach." Revelation 12:14)

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. Revelation 13:5/Daniel 9:27) must be referring to Antichrist.
"He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’, he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Daniel 9:27
Many Bible scholars in eschatology agree that this fourth beast of ten horns comes out of the revived Roman Empire, today called the European Union.

Well said 1loverof god. If I had any exception it would be the European Union in which Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia is not part of the European Union.

Dan 11:43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall follow in his train.

Heres a reference to the verses you cited to help explain the connection of the nations you mentioned

He will take the land of Egypt.
And he shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be [at his doorsteps or] at his steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with his great fury to destroy, and utterly make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; he shall come to his end, and none shall help him ( Daniel 11:43-45 (NAS)
43 But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels. 44 But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

Now this is a reference to the antichrist who will be the leader of the united nations of Europe. He shall be moving towards Africa in the conquest of Africa. Taking Egypt, passing through Israel, taking Egypt moving towards Libya and Ethiopia, at which time he will hear of the troops from China and Russia coming against him. So he will turn from his proposed conquest of Africa and come back and they will meet in the Valley of Megiddo there in Israel. The tremendous force of the Chinese for whom the river Euphrates will be dried up in order that they might cross, according to the book of Revelation. Those forces that are remaining in Russia, gathering against the combined forces of Europe, and the United States will no doubt be in league with those forces of Europe at this point. And this final great world war, the major scene of battle, will be the Valley of Megiddo there in Israel. This is what is commonly called the Battle of Armageddon of which you have read and heard so much about. And this, of course, is what will perpetrate this battle, as he is moving against Africa, getting news that Chinese and the Russians have confederated together to come against him. He turns in great anger and the place of the their meeting is the Valley of Megiddo. And it is at that time where the blood will flow to the horses' bridle throughout the whole Valley of Megiddo as the slain of the earth. Millions destroyed in that great carnage and bloodshed.

The reference of those nations you cited are referring to the Battle of Armageddon to take place at the end of the tribulation with the AC leading this war with his military cohorts who will all be thrown into the lake of fire at Jesus second coming, with his saints----we the church.

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, whiteand clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
king of kings and lord of lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deludedthose who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Revelation 19:11-21
