"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."(13.1) Of this we shall we take up the ten horns of which we find associated with the fourth east. "and it had ten horns./I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots"(Dan.7.7-8)
The beast here rising out of the sea is a composite of the other three beasts mentioned in the night vision. St John sees the beast,"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."(13.2). From these two visions the ten horns serve as a link to the end times. The Spirit in Gen.1.2 supplied us the hint of the waters serving generations of men in the direct frame of reference of the generation of Jesus Christ. On the hand darkness was upon the face of the deep signifying the generations of sons of perdition who are children of disobedience.
"and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."(13.2) Rising out of the sea he is heading to the land where the vision of the flying ephah in Zechariah's vision has set up a base. It is spiritually called Babylon, "and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." (Rev.18.2-6) Remember the two women, 'and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork' (Zec.5.9) It was to set up her own base a mercantile city. It is nothing new, for the dragon gave him 'his power, and his seat and his authority.' The devil sins from the beginning and the beast is there to do his bidding.
These ten horns have ten crowns referring to ten kings,"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,"
