God opened up to me this morning something that I had not been able to see:
Zechariah 11:8
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.to see yet.
I already knew this was this: Lam 2: 6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Here it shows that he cut off the kings and the priests, and of course he did away with the prophets of old. so there are the three shepherds that he hated and cut off.
Now the other seven heads are the ones I have explained as being from Adam down through Moses.
But the thing that I had missed is that the ten horns includes these seven plus those three shepherds!!
I have been thinking that it was totally different things; meaning seven heads and then ten DIFFERENT horns. Not so.
this is why I think no one has been able yet to discern the beast in Rev 13. they come up with all kinds of wild guesses; not realizing that it is sin to add to God’s word and not have any idea what you are saying.
See…
those seven heads plus those three shepherds. make up the ten horns.
Yes, this is the secret that I did not see till God showed it to me this morning.
So when he cut off those three shepherds it left only the seven heads. but see at one time all ten had ruled the OT.
That is what is being cut off… the OT law beast.
the NT beast is the image of this old beast = 7 churches.

Linda Hodge yes, this has had me held up a long time due to not understanding that the seven heads are actually part of the ten horns. see, it is rulers, that are considered to be horns. those seven heads plus those three are the rulers over the OT law beast. and that law system is the beast. it is the people in that system. then the NT picked right back up on that old law system so it was an image to the first beast. its two horns were false prophets and false Christs as told by Jesus in mat 24.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority….satan is the power… of course this is Adam/man. . there are the heads over the OT lion, bear and the leopard had 4 heads so that is six. and the seventh one is Moses/law….. do any of you understand this?

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed….. see? the church comes out of the ‘earth; but it is the image of that one out of the sea.. OT law/Nt law church. they went about killing all who did not worship them. they healed that old law head that Jesus had nailed to his cross. this is crystal clear.

now to prove that this has been in existence since the beginning of time with Adam: 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, .. see that? everyone who dwelt on the earth worshiped that evil beast = Adam. man. self. until someone was filled with the Holy Ghost and their names were written in the Lamb’s book of life. Nothing could be clearer. yet the lies of man had blinded everyone to this. the entire world seems to think it was only for us, right now. so foolish. Linda, if you have time one of us need to copy all of the above into on message. right now I am just tooo tired to do.
