revelation 17- And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

¹⁰And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

¹¹And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

in accordance with...

daniel 11:1-39 is below praphrased::::
 

2"And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia."

^3"And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will."

^4"And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."

the highlighted kings in green are the first 5 kings found in revelation who have fallen

6"After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power^a will not last."

king in orange is the 6th king in revelation who is

20"Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle."
notice that this 7th king in dark orange as it says in revelation only continues a short space.

^21"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."

this 8th king in red as it says in revelation is of the seven and is the beast proven in revelation 17:11

daniel 11:38 "But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces/fortresses: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things."

^39"Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."

 so...a passage below that explains what the god of forces/fotresses looks like...
 

daniel 11:7-"But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with forces, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:...this passage is just explaining what forces and fotresses actually look like.
here is another example below:

31“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. 32With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

 

so you take these passages; the king in verse 7 takes his forces and enters into a fortess of another king; verse 31 explains it further by saying "armed forces"
         -so it is very clear and we conclude below that...

the 8th king (the beast, or antichrist) will honor a god of forces or fotresses and deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a strange god.

        -another way of looking at it below:

so the 8th king will honor a god of armies and forts(take fort knox for example) and with the help of that god he will deal with the strongest strongholds(imagine the pentegon or the president's secret fort reserved for war) and basically will take over the whole world. his kingdom will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth.

 

so this king is the antichrist:

matthew 24-When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
daniel 11-And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
2 thessalonians 2 talks about the coming of the lord and it will not happen until the man of sin is revealed who sets himself up in God's temple proclaiming himself to be God. then it says he will be destroyed by Jesus' coming.

{{{{{revelation 13:18 "here is wisdom. let the one who has undersdanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."---so we calculate 6+6+6=18---then we go to 1 John 2:18 "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour." notice that 18 is the calculated number of the beast and 18 is the verses addressing this issue in revelation 13 and 1 john 2. so we can conclude that that beast and man is the antichrist.}}}}}


These passages above prove that the 8th king or beast or antichrist, the one who honors a god of forces, will set himself up in God's temple and set up the abomination that makes desolate, and will be destroyed by Jesus' coming.

so, about this God of forces or antichrist or beast:::

revelation13:8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 revelation 14: 9-10And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

so if we worship the beast God says that he will send us to hell; if thats the case and the one act of worshipping the beast sends us to hell, then it must be the eternal sin as described in the passage below

 

matthew 12:31-32Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

³²And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

 

so every single person on the face of the whole earth, except for a few who are saved, will worship the beast, thus commiting the eternal sin and having nothing left but an absolute fearful certainty that they are going to hell forever.

 

talk about trangressors reaching their limit and lawlessness increasing. well if everybody on earth commits the worst sin i would say that scripture isn't overstating the tribulation and suffering that will happen before Jesus comes back

 

p.s. i have yet to find out what the seven mountains/hills that the women sits on are from revelation 17:9.
