The time of the three beasts of Revelation
7th June 1841
Question: What does the Revelation of John, chapter 13 verse 15-18 mean: And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
[1] Just write in My Name, I already know in what you fall short!
[2] For things that is far off, your 'extended eyes' are not sufficient to see. You cannot see things at a medium distance, for it is too close for you and is thus of too little interest to you.
[3] These verses of Revelation can be grasped with the hands, though and yet you are not able to understand it ! Yes, the easier something is, the more blunt you are to understand! Next time, ask something that seem to be easy – truly, in that you will possibly become more humble than by these easy verses! Now, pay attention:
[4] Firstly, in this chapter is spoken of three beasts: Firstly of the main dragon, secondly the beast with seven heads with ten horns each, climbing from the sea and thirdly the lamb-like beast, having two horns on the head.
[5] You will surely know who the main dragon is, after I have oftentimes – especially in the “Twelve hours” made sufficient mention of My arch-enemy.
[6] But if you would want to recognise the second beast, turn your eyes towards the closely stationed self-love and all the attributes thereof will be confirmed for you! It rises from the “lake” [sea] of selfish desires and has 'seven heads', meaning: for each commandment of neighborly love, a separate head with 'ten horns', where on as well as the other heads simultaneously resist all ten commandments. The 'injured' head is the everywhere punishable robbery and plunder. But is the beast damaged by it? Oh no – for this damaged head is completely healed by all the political state and trade laws. And so the whole world lives under such laws and acts according to it – thereby daily mocking the Lamb and His commandments.
[7] The third beast rises from the earth, looks like the 'lamb', but also has 'two horns'. But what does it mean? I tell you, it is the closest to you! This is the industry which strongly support the beast from the water and at the end even gets idolised. With it's two horns it directly resists the main commandment of love! It being so, just have a look at America, England, etc. !
[8] Just how this industry is represented by the third beast, look at the cruel child abuse in the English and American factories, where they often have to work from five o'clock in the morning till nine o'clock at night, standing the whole time, half-naked and often from eight years of age. They receive no education, except for what is needed for their industrial slave-destination!
[9] Oh, if you would see the essence of the industry with Me and through Me, you would say: “Oh Father, this is then the dragon himself!”
[10] Does this third beast not exercise the full violence of the second beast, whose head is healed? Does it not cause the whole earth, that is to say at least the main inhabitants thereof, to worship the second, wounded beast completely? Is not kings, rulers and other (industrial) founders and discoverers worshiped and not mentioned everywhere!? Is there not monuments erected all over the world in their honor? Does it not do the greatest signs and let it not fall fire from heaven – that is to say, does it not teach quite wisely all the blind people that such diligence is the essence of religion and the most worthy honour unto God – if not the best of worship!? Is it not the most blatant robbery of the fire of heaven, to let man believe that I can also be honored by abominable deeds! (But this will last but for a short time still!)
[11] Oh, just look at the deception of the inhabitants of the earth! The image of the beast with the sword wound is now, by means of political justice, completely alive! People are being forced to erect this image with their blood! Now it shines and talks and commands, it kills and is worshiped by all worms and spit-gum balls, going by the titles of 'learned' and 'journalists', wanting something of everything from a great number of drone flies (stock exchange speculants), wanting to earn something without working for it.
[12] But let no-one dare to worship this beast – he will soon discover what hour has come for him, in a worldly sense!
[13] This is thus the 'spirit' (or 'life') in the image of the beast, that self-love and greed which reached it's peak with all the great ones of the world. This is the full number of 666, of which the self-love is equal to 600, the love robbed of heaven 60 (that is, to apply the godly commandment tenfold to selfishness!) and love to the neighbour, equal to 6 (that is, the most perfect slavery applies)! Instead of giving one for a hundred, a hundred is demanded for one!
[14] Look and understand the meaning of the 'right hand' and of the 'forehead' with the great and the small, the rich and poor, the free and servant! Is it not lust for rule, whether by power or worldly mind? Tell Me, can anyone attain to anything without those signs? What worth have man without those signs? Truly, I tell you, if any of you have daughters, would he give them to anyone not having the marks – or will they accept anyone which is not marked? Can anyone, if he does not have the sign or an office, find any worldly joy?
[15] You are 'marked' yourselves – except My servant, whom I have managed to keep 'unmarked' up till now with great effort. But I do tell you, if I would allow that he would ask any of your daughters, you would look at him doubtfully and give him friendly advice to forgo the thought, for it is not suitable, for he is not 'marked'.
[16] If you would already do this to someone whom I, in the night of nights, have given unto you for a light, what would you do if someone else who is 'unmarked' would dare to expect such a thing from you? I say: You would rather hide your daughter behind a brick wall concrete alive – do you understand?
[17] I am of opinion that 'being marked' will be rather clear to you now! Who can now buy or sell without this sign ?
[18] But the '42 months' is almost over, since the commandments of love unto your neighbour is already applied five times sevenfold on self-love. But I tell you, try to destroy this sign with the fire of My love, then you will achieve the true inner life!
[19] Exactly because of this it is so difficult to obtain the inner life out of and in Me, because this 'sign' burns in everyone in this world (that is, prompting one to the world and it's eyeblinds). You therefore
need to let yourselves be burned loose from the world of this beast by My love, then you will find the life, now and forever!
[20] Thus speaks the Holy, the Great, the First and the Last. Amen, Amen, Amen.
