That Wounded Beast Needs Defeating Again

Revelation 13:

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

 We’ve mentioned the Revelation 13 beasts a number of times here, often enough that it’s starting to feel like a theme. Symbolically, this sea beast is the worldwide cabal, the whore of all the earth, the great and abominable church, the secret combinations, the deep state, the anti-Christ. The symbolism of the sea means it extends beyond one nation; it crosses the seas. So it is multinational. The heads represent leaders, or aspects, or possibly particular countries or organizations. I’m sure you can use your imagination to try to name them. Horns represent powers or abilities, and so do crowns. The multiple numbers of them show great power. Seven is symbolic of completeness; ten also indicates completeness, so it probably means over the whole entire world. The dragon from which the beast gets its power, position, and authority is Satan.

Now take a look at verse 3. One of the heads is wounded. It looks like it is a mortal wound. But then that head is healed, which seems incredible to the world. I think the likely real-world corollary of this wounded head is the taking out of communism/socialism/fascism in the past century. We defeated this beast head in World War II. That should have been the end of it. The many millions who had died because of this beast head were a sure indicator of its evil nature, and the good people of the world wanted it thoroughly and completely defeated.

We thought we had done that. We thought we had conquered the ideologies that led to hundreds of millions of deaths in the last century. The people in general were absolutely against them. No communism. No socialism. No Nazism. We had won WWII. Korea and Vietnam were also against this ideological enemy. But eventually we even won the Cold War.
