The first Beast of Rev.ch 13 is an "it". not a "he"

You can check that out in the greek.

The first beast is the idealogy of the one worlders money system, of the Jews and RCC.

The enforcer of the money system is the western nations, not Russia.


Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 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. Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 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.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Poor LA, ,trying to interpret future events with today's newspapers.
Like a child trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

The money system is ruled over by the harlot of the RCC and Judaism , supported by the fallen evangelicals.

When they succeed in the middle east then they, along with the western nations will be destroyed by the Russian, China , India , union.

This will occur only when the iniquity of the harlot nations are fully ripe--

2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This does not mean that the restraint upon the revealing of the wicked one being removed, is the rapture.

The destruction of the harlots occurs in the 6th trumpet before the return of Christ, and it is only after the return of Christ that the vials of wrath begin. (Rev.ch 10)ending with the Armageddon event when the destroyers of the harlot come against Christ and His gathering of His people.

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Hi,

It all means that the Pope and friends will persecute the true Christians using the governments (trumpet 5) until the governments turn against the Pope and friends and destroy them. (trumpet 6).

It is only after the return of Christ and the resurrection (trumpet 7)and after the first 5 vials of wrath that the Armageddon event of Ezekiel chs 38 and 39 occurs.
