Hitler's Third Reich - The Whore Riding the Beast

Revelation 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls spoke with me. "Come, he said, I will show you the judgment upon the great prostitute, who is seated on deep waters. 2 The kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and those who live on earth have become drunk with the wine of her whoring."

Goddess Roma was a depiction of Rome, the Roman Empire and even civilization itself. She was often depicted as a whore sitting on the seven hills of Rome, as can be seen in this coin from Vespasian.

The emperor was worshipped as a god together with goddess Roma. Roma is a symbol of the city of Rome, that is the heart of the Roman Empire.

3 Then he brought me in the Spirit to a desert. There I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names. It had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing, and she glittered with gold and jewels and pearls. In her hand she held a gold cup full of the vile and impure things that came from her activity as a prostitute. 5 A name—a mystery—was written on her forehead: "Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and the vile things of the earth." 6 I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the saints and the blood of Jesus’ witnesses. I was completely stunned when I saw her.

The woman is riding on the beast with the blasphemous names, that is the Roman Empire. They are in the desert. That's where we also found the Woman with 12 Stars being persecuted by the dragon. Now we can understand she was persecuted by the devil through the Roman Empire.

In the year 64 Nero killed many christians, blaming them for the burning of Rome, among whom Paul and Peter for instance.

That's why she is drunk of the blood of the saints.

7 Then the angel said to me, "Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and the seven-headed, ten-horned beast that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw was and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. Those who live on earth, whose names haven’t been written in the scroll of life from the time the earth was made, will be amazed when they see the beast, because it was and is not and will again be present.

This is a very important clue again. There is only one beast in Revelation that was, was locked up for some time and then reappears. You can read about it in the Vision of the Dragon in the Abyss of  Revelation 20. It means we can link and lock these Visions to one another like pieces of a puzzle.

It means this text says the Beast of the Roman Empire will disappear, but will come back when the dragon from the abyss will be released.

9 This calls for an understanding mind. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. They are also seven kings. 10 Five kings have fallen, the one is, and the other hasn’t yet come. When that king comes, he must remain for only a short time.

These kings are the emperors Julius Ceasar, August, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, and Galba, who reigned only for a couple of months.

11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is itself an eighth king that belongs to the seven, and it is going to destruction.

Now this eighth king is not the one who came after Galba. It is the beast itself that is the eighth king, not another head. And it is the beast that disappeared but emerges again that is the eighth king. The eighth king does not reign in the first century. It reigns after the devil is let loose again. The seven kings are the first emperors ruling the devilish Beast. The eighth king is the last one.

The Empire in our age that is very similar to the Roman Empire is the Third Reich from Hitler. Hitler was a Fuhrer just like the emperors or Rome. Hitler can be identified as the eighth king of the Beast. he tried to exterminate the Jews, just like the Romans did.

12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who haven’t yet received royal power. But they will receive royal authority for an hour, along with the beast. 13 These kings will be of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, but the Lamb will emerge victorious, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with him are called, chosen, and faithful."

There were ten to fifteen kingdoms, such as Hungary, Italy, Austria and so on, that happily gave all their power to Hitler, especially in killing the Jews in the Holocaust. They readily delivered all the Jews to the Nazis to send them to extermination camps.

The idea of a Third Reich was even based on the First Reich that was called the 'Holy Roman Empire' and intended to resurrect the Roman Empire combined with the power of the Catholic Church. (see Wikipedia)

In the Vision of the Two Prophets you can see how this Nazi-Beast links to killing the Jews.
