Who Are Represented By The End Time 5 Beasts?

By Harold Lee


The book of revelation provides clear signs of what Christians can expect when Christ is about to return. The end time 5 beasts is the clearest of these indicators. This will happen as the world creates a new order and a single government. What are these monsters and what do they represent?

The accounts given indicate four beasts coming out of the sea and a fifth from land. This generation will certainly witness the fulfillment of this prophesy. The beast that emerged first took the form of a lion but was crippled by the plucking of its wings meaning that it could not fly. The second was a bear which held three ribs. The third was in the image of a leopard and was given dominion. It had four heads and four wings.

The vivid description of the fourth beast is for a purpose and very significant. It is described as very strong and having horns. Three horns are removed and replaced by a fourth head. On this head is a horn that causes it to speak pompously. The Son of Man appears during its reign and takes over its dominion.

The fifth beast is distinct from the others though its description is not as vivid. It rises from the earth unlike the other four that come from the sea. This beast is the forehand of the others and commands people to worship the previous one. Anyone who does not worship him faces death. It is responsible for engraving the mark of the beast on all people on their right hand or forehead.

This vision has received numerous interpretations over the years. Some of these interpretations have been misguided and do not come into actualization. Daniel received the revelation after intense prayers. In his words, these beasts represented kings and kingdoms that would dominate the earth before Christ returns. The last to wield power would be the antichrist and would form a single world order.

Since we are living in the end times, Christians need to be aware of what these prophesies mean. The first which took the image of a lion represents England in the current world order. The second is a bear which represents Russia which has the bear as its national symbol. The third is a leopard that symbolizes Germany and its tanks that have been in use for decades.

Something peculiar about the fourth beast is that it combines the first three. This is depicted by continued push for integration with examples being EU and UN. It is worth noting that the leopard will dominate meaning that soon, Germany will reign again. This is the era when the antichrist will take over.

Christians should be worried or concerned about the future. The last days are uncertain as it is not clear what role each of state wielding power at present will represent. As the world seeks to integrate and speak in one voice, the prophesy of a single order is actualized. Only by remaining vigilant can Christians be safe and ready to meet the messiah when he returns.
