(Revelation 5:10; 20:4, 6) He said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on earth. It will be different from all other kingdoms. It will devour the entire earth. It will trample it down and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings that will arise out of this kingdom! Another will arise after them.

They who dwell on the earth will wonder, those whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Here is where the mind that has wisdom comes in. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are seven kings: five have fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes he must remain a short while. The beast that was, and is not, he is the eighth king, and is from the seven, and goes into destruction. The ten horns that you saw are ten kings. They have not yet received a kingdom. But they receive power (authority) (influence) as kings for one hour with the beast.

They will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome (conquer) them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. Those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. He says to me: The waters that you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and crowds, and nations, and languages. The ten horns that you saw on the beast will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked. They will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
