A Beast in Bible Prophecy
is a Symbol for a Nation
And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy.
The Bible interprets its own symbols so that we need not speculate
at all.
Kings and kingdoms are used synonymously in the Bible, where you have
a kingdom you also have a king. The following two verses make this
principle even more clear:
"These great beasts, which are four, are
four kings, which shall arise out of the earth." Daniel
7:17
"Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon earth..." Daniel 7:23
