THE EARTH SYMBOLICALLY, MEANS THE NATIONS THAT OPENED UP: Revelation 12:16 " And the earth helped the woman, The Earth opened her mouth. The earth swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth." The Earth that opened her mouth was the undeveloped Nations. Nations such as America, and many other undeveloped Countries. These Countries was the Earth that opened her borders to the Emigrants, this was the mouth that opened up. The Earth helped the Woman. The Woman was the Church or the Elects of God. The Earth helped the Woman: by opening up to the Elects of God. The earth was the Countries that opened up to the Protestants. Now they could live in a Country where they could Worship God freely. They could Worship God freely without a Priest, or a Pope. They fled Catholicism. NOW We will go to those that were to make WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF HER SEED: Revelation 12:17 " And the dragon was wroth with the Woman. He went to make war with the remnant of her seed. He made war with those, which keep the Commandments of God, and those that had the testimony of Jesus Christ." The Dragon did this through Catholicism. The Remnant of her seed was the Protestants. The Vicars which are the False Christ. The Priests were furious they did everything possible to war against their former Enemies: the Protestants.
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS: Revelation 13:1 " And I stood upon the Sands of the Sea. I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. Upon his horns ten Crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." The Seven Heads were Seven Great Heights the City Rome Reached. Seven heads, as in Revelation 17: 9 "... The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the Woman sits." Revelation 13: 1 " And I stood upon the Sand of the sea..." John the Revelator stood upon the earth. The Sand of the Sea: This means that John stood upon Land. John stood upon Land; Where as Daniel Saw only the Beasts. Daniel did not see the Seven Heads Rising up out of the Sea, as in Daniel 7:3. Daniel said nothing about the Seven Heads.
This is because Daniel saw only the Roman Empire. In Revelation 13:1. John stood upon the Land, and from this Point of View: John could see the ancient City Rome Rise. He could see Ancient Rome Rising up out of the Land. The ancient City had only to do with the seven Heads. The Seven Heads are Seven great height or Mountains that Rose up out of the Ancient City Rome.
THE SEAT: Revelation 13:1 " And I stood upon the sand of the Sea. He saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. Crowns of 10 upon his heads, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. The Sea is used in Daniel 7:3 and Revelation 13:1, meaning: the Nations. These are the Nations around the Mediterranean Sea. This is where the Four Beasts in Daniel came up from. This was the Inland Sea where they came up from, As in Daniel. Daniel 7:3 " And four great beasts came up from the sea. These Four Great Beasts were the Babylon Kingdom, Media Persia Kingdom, and the Greek Kingdom. The last the fourth to Rise, was the Great Roman Empire.
AND UPON HIS HEAD THE NAME OF BLASPHEMY: (Reading from the, Hebrew, Greek, English Translation Bible.) Revelation 13:1 " This Seventh Head was where the (Catholic) Whore Sits..." She Sits on the Seven Heads. The Seventh Head, which was the Papal States, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Seventh Head was the Vatican in Rome, and the Papal States. Revelation 17:9 "... The seventh head is the seventh mountain, on which the Woman sits." The Seven Mountains are symbolic, meaning the Seven Great Heights. Seven Heights the Kings Reached with the Political People in Ancient Rome. This is where the Whore Sits. Revelation 13:1 "... And upon his heads the name of blasphemy." The Whore is the Church at Rome. The Blasphemy is the Pope and Priests, and the Catholic Priesthood. The Vicar of Christ and a Christ Instead: this is Blasphemy against Christ.
THE BEAST WAS LIKE UNTO A LEOPARD: Revelation 13:2 " And the beast, which I saw, was like unto a leopard. His feet were as the feet of a bear. His mouth as the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." The symbolic meaning of a Leopard, and the different color of spots, the different color are the Different Races. Like the Spots of the Leopard was symbolic for Races of all mankind. This was when the Roman Empire reached it’s Great Heights: It Covered all Races and Colors.
