* Therion - 

 The Therion - an Overview
      For the believer, we need to both unlearn some interpretations and relearn what the Scriptures themselves actually say (in Hebrew and Greek).   The Bible tells us that we either will worship the invisible GOD, He who made the Heavens and the Earth, or we will find ourselves worshiping a limited yet tyrannical and fiercely rotten creature. In effect, the unsaved will find themselves worshiping the invisible Therion...the serpentine beast of Revelation 17 (though called a poisonous viper in Acts 28:4,5...reminiscent of Satan in the Garden of Eden slithering words to Eve).  It is a literal 7 headed spiritual creature currently in the Abyssos / Bottomless Pit (hence the Center ) of the Earth that may or may not be as large and as fierce-some as some monstrous dinosaur creature.  

In Revelation 11:7, we find that the First time that Therion rises, is when he is loosed from the bottomless pit for the purpose of fulfilling the slaying of the Two Great Witnesses on Day 1286 1/2 ff. of the Tribulation Period.

The second time we see the 7 headed Beast is at the assault upon Heaven in Revelation 12:1. Satan's "unsecret" weapon, no matter how fearsome and persuasive an entity it might be, is no match for the assault ambush attempt to prevent the Elijahn Rapture 3 1/2 days later, after having been loosed.

It seems to me that the effects of the 4th SEAL in Revelation 6:8 do not happen upon the Earth until AFTER the breaking of the 6th Seal in Revelation 6:12.  It is as if the 6th Seal is an immediate effect, and the result of the opening of the 4th Seal is still traveling to Earth to begin following the Elijahn Rapture on Day 1290.  In other words it is as if it takes days or weeks for the 4th Seal authorization and events to be set in motion, to cross both time and space slowly,  as if on a long journey over a vast expanse, while (like the Rapture) the 6th Seal instantaneously crosses both time and space, as if through a portal or worm-hole that bridges the distance of time and space, placing it ahead of the earlier issued Judgment (that regarding the 4th Seal) that left the same location (Heaven), being dispatched to the Earth prior to it (i.e., the Sixth Seal Judgment). IF this is the case, and it may well be, this would clear up how that events happening in Heaven seem to be out of sequence in how they happen upon the Earth.  Thus there is NO discrepancy between the events of the breaking of the 7 Seals, the sounding of the 7 Trumpets, and the pouring out of the 7 bowl/pans in Revelation.  

The Day of the Elijahn Rapture being known once the Tribulation Period starts and is preceded by the Enochian (sudden and unseen) Rapture, the Therion is finally allowed to awaken or be unloosed from the Bottomless Pit / Hades / Abyssos and slay the Two great Witnesses at the appointed time that they have completed their assignments. The authority of the Two great Witnesses given them by G-D to prevail against any man (hence inclusive of angels and cherubim) in Revelation 11:5, prevents Satan himself from killing the Two great Witnesses, and shows his ineffectualness even next to GOD's own being empowered human beings.


The third time we see this 7 headed Therion, is when he rises from the Sea in Revelation 13:1. Notice that in Rev. 13:4, the Dragon (Satan) is a separate entity from the Therion having 7 heads and 10 horns who rises from the Sea. This, indeed is the Therion of Revelation 17:3, that had risen from the bottomless pit and attempted to devour Heaven's Rapture Saint Snatchers, was cast out and down (not having strength or capability), that is slain 3 1/2 years later in Isaiah 27:1 at the 2nd Coming of Christ.

The Therion must empower an entity -- such as the coming One World Government -- in the natural...somehow. We see that in Revelation 13:18, that a man who visibly heads that organization, then, takes on the same number as the Therion, and that of Satan himself. 

Satan, who demonstrates his claim to the kingdoms of the world in Matthew 4:8, before casting a lie, hands over ALL that he has to the Therion to persecute and kill every last remnant of Judeo-Christianity from the face of the Earth. That is, a human element carries out the will of the Therion unblinkingly.

What is missing? The power of deception is not able to be carried out now to the same scale capacity as when the 7 headed Therion is unleashed from the Bottomless Pit. The 5th Angel sounds his trump, and a star falls from Heaven, having been given possession of the key to the bottomless pit, from which the unnatural demon locusts ascend, and torment for 5 months…yet no Therion is made known to rise as yet.

The rise of the 7 headed Therion from the abyss leads to what is termed as a “war” (Gr., polemon) with the Two great Witnesses. It may be that the means of hail, lightnings, fire, tornado, are all used to no avail by the command of the Two great Witnesses; but we cannot know for sure. We do know that the event will happen before the 7th Trump sounds and the Second Woe comes. Traditionally, we have been perceiving the 6th Trump at the end, near to the Second Coming, and attributing the 200,000,000 to the Kings of the East (presumably headed by China). But this doesn’t appear to be the case regarding the 6th trump.

When the 4 angels of Revelation 9:15, which are bound in the Euphrates River until the 6th Judgment trump, are loosed for the time to head a 200,000,000 man (mechanized / horseless, by description) cavalry driven army and destroy the third part of mankind, this appears to more or less correspond with the Ezekiel 38’s Invasion of Israel by Islamic forces, while the 7 headed Therion and the other forces of Satan attempt to STOP the Elijahn Rapture by laying ambush.

It is at the Elijahn Rapture, in the same hour, that the second woe comes and departs, a 100 % worldwide Earthquake in which the Earth shakes off its own axis, and reels to and fro like a hut, while every island on Earth slips and disappears from existence.

It is the cast down Satan (and his Therion which was cast into the sea), that is the Third Woe. Following this are 1335 more days until the Second Coming of Jesus at the end of the 7 years.

Babylon, who in her madness aids and assists in the hunting down and killing of Christians in the Tribulation Period based on Greed, is devoured…perhaps because possessions and money don‘t really mean all that much any more, just provision from the State entity to survive…or something to this effect.

At any rate, we need to re-look at and re-evaluate Revelation in terms of Biblical Prophecy from a more literal perspective than allegorical, even if like unto a newspaper journalist using metaphors to describe actual events in a journalistic lingo.

----------------------------------------------------------------

** Distinguishes G-D the Father as being distinctly far above the Islamic pseudo-deity of Allah, who like flawed man, lies, and plots and plans deception as the greatest liar, faker, and bluffer of all -- as if that evil were a virtue.  G-D cannot and will not lie.  Hence, the deity of Islam is a perversity, and abomination to the True Reality of what is, made manifest and known exclusively through Judaism and thereafter faithfully through the King Messiah Yeshua HaMesshiach / Jesus Christ, who gave us true Judaism restored in what was thereafter labeled as Christianity.
