What Do The End Time 5 Beasts Represent?

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?

Of the five beasts narrated in the story, four will be from the sea while the fifth will emerge from land. Each has a distinct form and represents powers or kingdoms that will rule the earth before the return of Christ. The lion is the first, but it has wings that are later plucked rendering it immobile. The second takes the shape of a bear and has three ribs. The leopard comes third and holds dominion. It is identified by four wings and four heads.

There is an elaborate description of a fourth beast and this was for a reason. Its description is distinct from the others and extraordinarily strong. It had ten horns and three were plucked to allow for the head. The fourth head had a new horn that could speak pompously. When God appears, the fourth beast is annihilated while others are spared and dominion passed over to the Son of Man.

The fifth beast, though not vividly described is distinct. It rises from the earth as opposed to the four that come from the sea. It acts as the commander on behalf of the others and forces everyone into obedience. Any being that does not bow down to these powers is subjected to death. The fourth beast forces everyone to bear the mark of the beast on their forehead or right hand.

The five beast rises from the earth but is not clearly described. It promotes the power of previous beasts and speaks with authority. In fact, it causes people to worship the first dragon and pronounces death to anyone who does not obey. It is this dragon that causes and forces people to receive the mark of the beast on the forehead or right hand.

The meaning of this revelation should be clear to Christians considering that these are end times. The beast that was in the image of a lion represented England. The animal in form of a bear was Russia bearing in mind that this is their national symbol. Germany is represented by the leopard with clear evidence that their tanks dominated the world for some years in the last decades.

It is worth noting the combination that represents the fourth beast. It is a grouping of world powers in an attempt to create a single world order. The representation of the leopard as the dominant image shows that Germany will one day rise over the other nations. This will be a time when the world will be in the hands of the antichrist.

What is left for Christians is to remain vigilant since all signs indicate that we are living in the end times. The prophesy is being fulfilled as nations move toward integration and adopt a single currency. The antichrist is about to take over the world and will rule with an iron fist. There is no doubt that Christ is about to return and take with him those who will be ready.
