    Rev.13.4-5 "42" (1 of 2)

    "And power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." The power of the beast came from he dragon. On the other hand the authority of Jesus Christ came from God."All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." It was determined before the worlds began. (Mt.28.18;'hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof,' is the proof. Rev.5.5) The beast is every thing that Christ is not. More of that by and by. Now what does the number signify. The Spirit sets the generation of Jesus Christ in multiples of Three. "So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations;" and so on. (Mt.1.27) The Spirit uses the earthly ministry of Jesus as a standard to measure the events coming under the history of nations. So the nation of Israel has a tag of time, times and half a time inserted to distinguish it from God's will in fulfilment. We see the lasds who jeered at Elisha without provocation were 42 in number. The prophet cursed them in God's name and two bears came out of nowhere to punish them.( 2 Kgs 2.23-24)

    Curiously enough the term of office for POTUS is 4 years same as the command number for the Word. " And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." The loss of 2020 is something we have heard even this day. His pride took a hit. But the wound goes farther when the covering Cherub was cast out of the mountain of God. (Ezek.28). This is a scar that would not leave the sons of perdition so their lies come not from their mouth, "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." (Psa.58.3)

    His number are multiples of 6 so 7x6 makes up 42. "having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." The number 10 is that he falls under the law of sin and death. The Lamb slain carried seven eyes and seven horns.
