Revelation 13:2


And the beast that I saw resembled a leopard, but his feet were like those of a bear and his mouth was like that of a lion. And to him the dragon gave his [own] might and power and his [own] throne and great dominion.
  • The Leopard represents the Greek Empire, a leopard hides then pounces on its prey. 
  • Bear represents Persia, Iran, powerful, stubborn, and ferocious. 
  • Lion represents Babylon. Fast and powerful. King of all the beasts. 
  • The anti-christs kingdom will be powerful and fast and will include parts of the middle east as well as Rome and Greece and the territories that they once held.
  • The anti-Christ and the seven kingdoms that he rules over will be fully powered by satan. Which means that he is fully powered by a loser, a loser who has failed at everything that he has ever attempted to do. Think about satan, he and a third of the angels who followed him have been kicked out of heaven and they have been suffering defeat after defeat for thousands of years! So the anti-christ is in for one huge loss after another, because his kingdom will be built upon the sand. Everything that he will attempt to bring to pass will fail and it will cause him to become angrier and angrier. 
  • Look at popular politicians today when things don’t go their way and how they act. It is never their policies or efforts that are at fault, it is always someone else's fault.
  • The beach is sandy and the storms are great, so it all erodes quickly for that anti-Christ and the kings who side with him. Think of it, all of these things that we have been shown in the Book of Revelation only last for 3 1/2 years. These leaders come on the scene fast and are destroyed fast. 
  • The beast is a symbol for a revised Roman empire and Rome is where the Pope is headquartered. The leopard represents the empire of Greece. The beast also has feet like a bear, the Persian Empire, and a mouth like a lion, the Babylonian Empire, Daniel 7:4-6. 
  • The anti-christ has the power of Europe and the Middle East behind him. This makes sense, think of the oil and the money that many of the countries of the Middle East possess. The anti-christ will need it to secure his power and our Father will allow and empower the union. Look at how tolerant Europe has been with Islamist, they allow so much, all in an attempt to secure peace. The alliances that the anti-christ will use are being formed right now. People will say that it is for tolerance and peace, but it will be for money. The love of money is the root of all evil, it always has been and it always will be! 
  • Remember that the Four Angels will be released from the Euphrates River. Right now the world is terrified of the threats of radical Islamists.  For people to be saying peace and safety the anti-christ, empowered by satan, will have to appear to bring peace and unify Europe and the Middle East. The anti-christ and false prophet will have entered into treaties that will allow the money from the oil to come to them. The love of money will still be the root of all evil, even during the end times. So it is easy to see how the anti-christ power will be from the leopard, the lion, and the bear.
