Rev 17:10,11 in order for the beast to be the 8th yet one of the 7 he had to have lived and died and ascended from the pit to live again. Isaiah 14:16 describes his arrival in hell ."is this the man that made the earth to tremble....
The eighth king will through his mortal head wound will appear to die and appear to be Resurrected. This can be seen in Rev. 13:3 and Zech 11:17. The power of this appears to be from the entity Apollyon shown in the 5th Trumpet ( Rev. 9:11). Thus; he will have the power of the Devil which ultimately is because of God's authority allowing that short space of rulership; but Antichrist is indwelled with the King of the Abyss.
Remember that there are 10 Kings that rule; and 3 are subdued. ( Daniel 7:24). Thus; we see the "little horn" coming out from what was part of the Grecian empire; broken up into 4 parts earlier. Somehow; he is associated with the other kings; likely from the same region. That appears to be a conlomorate beast; with the lion (Babylon); bear (Media/Persian); leopard (Greece) and the 4th one (Rome). Some would argue the more modern designation of England and the USA (as the "young lions of Tarshish) in Ezekiel 38:13; then Russia being the bear. Nonetheless; the last kingdom has characteristics and likely geographical intersections of the approximate boundaries of these ancient kingdoms; and many say it is likely a Mediterranean mainly Muslim confederacy that would help to fulful such prophecies as Psalm 83; Ezekiel 38 and others.
Any theory that the Son of Perdition is Judas Iscariot is fairly well knocked out by Hebrews 9:27. He will undoubtably be worshipped and the mark brought about in its finality after this event ( Rev. 13:4). Since the little horn is associated with Greece; and Apollo is named in the Greek language it is possible this entity that energized Alexander the Great will be the force indwelling Antichrist. No doubt it is being held back today until he who holds it back is taken out of the way.
Mr Priday, you never answered my question. The beast lived and was one of the 7 kings he dies and goes to hell. He is allowed to live again and yes an assassination attempt is made probably set up by him and most likely he is shot in the eye (Satanist have an obsession with what's called one eye).He cannot die because he has always died once. That's why there are 2 men whose knee will not bow or be judged because they had 2 bites of the apple--they lived and died and lived again and that is why the beast and the false prophet go straight to the lake of fire ALIVE. I would appreciate a direct answer from you and a anyone else who would like to comment!
Apollo and Apollyon are different words. Apollo was a God in Greek mythology. His name is of uncertain origin. Apollyon means " him who destoys" in Greek. Still some believe there is a connection between these names. GBU
