Head wound -vs- Beast wound

thanks

MY REPLY:


Hello Modise,

Excellent question.
Rev.13:3 reads:
"One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed".
How does this apply to the organizational Wild Beast?
       {Just let me clarify, that Rev.13 speaks of two Wild Beasts (Rev.13:1,11). The first is 
       from the sea [spiritual Gentiles-Not Anointed "Jews" (Rev.3:9). The second, 
       is from the earth (God's people/anointed/spiritual "Jews" (Rom.2:28,29; Gal.3:29]} 
These heads are "seven", and are the counterfeit antithesis (opposite side)...enemies, of the "seven stars" in Jesus' right hand (Rev.1:20). Those seven stars are Christ's "seven horns"/kings (Rev.5:6) and true prophets. "Horns" are "kings" (Rev.17:12).
Each of the "Lamb's" seven "horns" has an "eye". This signifies the lamp each faithful prophet has (Matt.6:22;  1Cor.12:27,20,21,28,29; Eph.2:20-22) in which they are "burning" their own portion of Holy Spirit, which light they "send out into all the earth" ("oikumene")... to each congregation belonging to God's "field under cultivation" 
(Rev.5:6; 1:4; 4:5; Zech.4:10; Matt.5:15; 6:22; Rev.1:20; Zech.4:2; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3; Rev.1:20) (1Cor.3:9,16).
Those "seven stars" are his "seven angels"/prophet priests -Josh.6:4 /"messengers", who battle for truth with Christ, at Rev.12:7 and Rev.19:14,8.
(2Cor.10:3,4,5; 6:7)
Please keep in mind, that all numbers referring to these groups, are a part of symbolic descriptions.
  So to get back to the "seven heads"; these are the antithesis of the "seven angels" of Christ (evil counter-balance/dichotomy -- false prophets of God's people). Those "seven heads" of the first Wild Beast are also a progression/succession of "seven kings" (Rev.17:9,10) who have entered the Covenant with Death...coming under that "woman"/"mother"/covenant, of Rev.17:5; (Gal.4:24; Isa.28:15). ("Who is the 'woman'?")
Just as Christ has a succession of "seven horns"/angels/true prophets/kings, to serve the "seven congregations" (Rev.1:20);
The "Gentile" Wild Beast has seven head-like authorities (the succession of rulers/false prophets/angels/kings).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2015/01/is-wicked-steward-real.html)
These "seven" false prophet leaders (wicked stewards),
the Covenant of Death they have entered,
and the Gentile Wild Beast they direct,
are over all those marked as slaves to Satan's lies (666) which are delivered by means of those channels: [Covenant of Death/"Babylon the Great" (abyss), false prophet ("Wormwood"/"two-horned" Beast), and the Wild Beast and it's Image ("Man of Lawlessness"/"Locust-Scorpions"). (Rev.16:13; 13:11,16,17,18; 19:20 
Just as Jesus' seven "horns"/kings (Rev.5:10) translate into Messengers (Greek:angels), stars, prophets, and warriors (Rev.1:20; 12:4; Dan.8:10; Rev.11:3; 19:14) within Revelation's various illustrations;
  ...the "seven heads" of the Gentile Wild Beast also translate into Satan's Messengers ("angels"), fallen stars, false prophets, and warriors (Rev.12:7; 19:19,20; 8:10; 9:1,3,7,9; 13:11) within the same illustrations.
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2017/07/who-are-fallen-stars-of-rev124.html)
You may have noticed a difference between the forces of Christ and those of Satan, in that there are 7 "heads" on Satan's side, but none on Christ's side. This is because Christ's faithful "stars"/angels/kings, have only one head...the Christ (Eph.1:22; 5:23; Col.1:18).
They each remain in subjection to Christ as a part of his body (1Cor.12:27,12; Rom.12:5).

Because Satan's forces do include ruling "heads"/kings who have been enticed by power in this world; these also have under them, those Gentile forces whose power they lust after, govern, and exploit for their own interests (Jer.17:5; Hosea 7:11; 4:12; 8:9; Isa.30:1; 31:1; Rev.9:7; Isa.36:6). This alliance will end badly for those prostituting themselves in exchange for the power of the Gentiles 
(Jer.13:21,22,24,25,26,27; Isa.1:21; Rev.17:16; Lam.1:8; Eze.16:36,37; 23:26; Nahum 3:5,6;  1Kings 9:9).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/05/why-jesus-came-to-earth-last-world.html)
   The faithful do not form this alliance with spiritual "Gentiles" (Organization of non-anointed Elders) (Rev.13:12). 
The faithful confidently depend upon God to be their strength and shield 
(Ps.28:7; 18:2; 13:5; 26:1; 40:3; Rev.14:3).

The "TEN kings" ("HORNS" of the Beast), submit to this arrangement 
(Rev.17:16,17;  1Cor.6:15,16;  2Cor.11:2,3).
These are anointed throughout the earth, but they do not rule as the SEVEN heads of the Wild Beast Organization. They are not the top leaders/head. Neither have they received their kingdom with Christ (Rev.3:21; 17:12). It is not until the ten horns move as one with the beast against the final harlot/final head, that they rule with the Beast for "one hour" (Rev.17:7,12,13,16,17) when the beast itself becomes the eighth king (Rev.17:11).

The alliance of unfaithful Chosen ones (heads/harlots) ruling over Gentiles who "trample the Holy Ones", is why you will see that there is a "Gentile" force contained within Satan's dominion 
(Rev.9:3,11; 11:2; Rev.13:1) (2Thess.2:4; Mark 13:14),
but not under Christ's.
  The "Master" Christ is "Head" of his own "body", and all his forces are faithful anointed/stars/angels/witnesses/warriors, under his direction.
These turn to God's spirit for power and strength...
...not to Gentiles who have not received the anointing consecration/circumcision of the heart by spirit (Rom.2:28,29), and not to ruling harlots, who have fallen from grace.
With this background information,
let us get back to the seven heads of the first Gentile Wild Beast.
We are told that one of the heads (from the succession of rulers), received a "fatal wound" which was later "healed".
Remember,
this whole empire/design/scheme/machination of Satan which Revelation exposes,
is to fabricate a counterfeit fulfillment of prophecy, in order to mislead the final Chosen Ones 
(1Pet.5:8; Luke 22:31;  2Cor.2:11; Matt.24:24;  2Thess.2:9,1,2,3;  1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13).
(pearl-anillustration.blogspot.com)

The emergence of the Wild Beast from the "sea" is the emergence of the Gentile Organization known as "Jehovah's Witnesses", the backbone of which are elders that are not of the anointed body of Christ. That beast-like organization made of a counterfeit Temple/priesthood, is a counterfeit Zion "mountain of God". (antithesis/counterfeit, of Zion)
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/02/YHVHs-genuine-mountain.html)
(pearl-disgustingthing.blogspot.com),
That collective Beast/'mountain-like organization', is ruled by these "seven" unfaithful "heads".

Those "heads" (who were chosen to be under the Covenant of Life -Gal.4:26), broke that covenant (Hosea 6:7; Jer.11:10; Dan.11:30,31,32) and so are now also considered as sin-stained, as "uncircumcised" spiritual Gentiles (Amos 9:7 A; Eze.32:29; Acts 7:51,52; Rev.17:6) (Rev.17:3,4; Isa.1:18).

The seeming "death wound" to one of these ruling "heads", is fabricated by Satan to emulate a counterfeit fulfillment of the "death" of the "two witnesses" of Rev.11:3,7,11,12 (Eph.2:6) by the false prophet of Rev.13:11 (Dan.11:27; Isa.28:15).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/01/spiritual-virginity-what-is-it.html)
This death stroke to the Beast's head is in the past tense (Rev.13:12), so that this "lying sign" sets the stage for the subsequent scenario, that takes place when the second wild beast of Rev.13:11 emerges, and the events of Rev.13:12,13,14,15,16,17 to follow).
(Link: "Chronology of Revelation")

The best explanation of this "death stroke" being fabricated into a counterfeit death of the "two witnesses", can be found in an illustration within the "Revelation Climax" book.
If you have a copy, please turn to page 169, and compare that illustration to Rev.13:3.
The counterfeit fulfillment of the death of the "two witnesses", is expressed in the last sentence of paragraph 23, and according to this publication, occurred in 1919. This corresponds to the "death stroke" that was healed, which in reality, occurred to one of the Wild Beast's governing "heads" (not to the real fulfillment of the death of the "two witnesses", which was actually yet to come later -  2Thess.2:1,2,3).

       (NOTE: This is not the same event as the entire Wild Beast descending into the "Abyss" 
                     and then re-emerging. The proposition that the beast ever descends into the abyss, is a false assertion. It is proposed by WT doctrine, and applied to the false fulfillment of prophecy, regarding  the identity of Revelation's sea-beast (Rev.13:1) as the League of Nations going into the abyss, and re-emerging from the abyss as the United Nations. Nowhere in scripture, is the beast said to enter or descend, into the abyss
The only one said (in scripture) to be put into the abyss, is Satan (Rev.20:1,2,3). Satan's captivity in the abyss, is to prevent him from deceiving the anointed priests of all nations 
(Rev.20:3; Rev.5:9,10; Luke 10:17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24; Matt.16:16,17,18; 13:10,11,14,16,17).

  Many similar illustrations within Revelation's parables are assumed to be the same events. But not all are. One must also keep in mind, that each true fulfillment involving Christ's faithful slaves, has a counterfeit mirror image, fabricated by Satan...the list of counterfeit events and identities that I have referred to, I have described as each true event's "antithesis" or "dichotomy".

The whole entire "Gentile" Wild Beast emerges from the abyss/"sea", at Rev.13:1 (Rev.17:8 a; Isa.57:20; Jude 1:13; Rev.11:7  -beast from abyss). 
The Beast's constituents (locust-scorpions), are also seen emerging from the abyss, at Rev.9:1,2,3.
The entire Beast, received a sword/death stroke, mentioned at Rev.13:12. That wound should not be equated with the wound to one if its 7 heads, at Rev.13:3.
The entire Gentile beast belonging to Satan's realm (Luke 4:5,6;  1John 5:19), was conquered and slain by means of the sword (Heb.4:12), by the obedient slaves of Christ (1John 5:4; James 4:4;  1John 2:13-14,15-16,17; Luke 10:18-19;  1John 5:14,19).
Although the 144,000 fully recognized the realm of Satan's world and were never overcome by the deceptive powers of his abyss/Hades (Matt.16:18); Once Satan is released from the abyss (Rev.20:7,8,9; Luke 21:20,22; Mark 13:14; Luke 21:24; Rev.11:2)... he wages war with the remaining ones of the "Woman's" seed/offspring, because they expose and counter (Gal.4:16; Eph.5:11; 4:25) Satan's flood of lies (John 8:44; Rev.12:17,15; 17:14; 16:13,14,15,16;  1Tim.4:1) being propagated through the false prophet and its beast-like army (Rev.13:13,14,15; 19:20) (Rev.8:10,11; 9:1,2,3; Eze.2:6; Joel 1:6,4; 2:10; Matt.24:29,24,25,21; Joel 2:2 ESV ; Rev.20:7,8,9; 16:13,14,15,16; 17:14;  2Cor.10:3,4,5; 6:7). 
During that Great Tribulation/sifting/testing/discipline (Rev.9:2; Joel 2:2-3 ESV ; Zech.13:9,8; Rev.9:18,19,20) that great demonic darkness, takes captive to deception, the remnant (Rev.13:7,10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24).
This is why the entire/whole Gentile Wild Beast, and it's 
persecuting presence, goes unrecognized by God's people 
(because they believe it -"now is not") and "yet it IS", 
when in fact, it is "alongside" them (Rev.17:8).
They believe it "now is not", because they are under the delusion that Satan's power over their lives (as personified by the Gentile sea-beast/power of Satan -Rev.13:1,4,7) has already been slain in the midst of their faith, by the Word of God (Heb.4:12; Rev.13:12). They do not recognize the Satanic backing of the beast (Rev.13:4,7; 9:11; Isa.33:1) because the false prophet has imbued it's image, as being directed by God's spirit (Rev.13:11,14,15)... 
       (interpretation of "breath">  John 20:21,22,23) 
...and as fit to reign above and judge (even to condemn to death Rev.13:15; 11:7; John 16:2), God's Temple priesthood. 
In this way, the Temple of God, is trampled down by Gentiles (Rev.11:2; Dan.8:10; Rev.12:4; (Dan.12:1,3; 11:33,35) (Luke 21:24; Jer.12:10; Matt.5:13)

The remnant has been mislead into believing they are acting on obedience to God, while obedient to the Gentile Beast... and that while under the domination of this Beast (supposedly directed by God's spirit -Rev.13:11,15), they suppose that they have peace and security with God 
(1Thess.5:1-3; Micah 2:10; Mark 13:14; Ezekiel 36:8; 17:23).
When all under this dominion, finally do "see" the true identity, nature, and existence of the 
persecuting Wild Beast of Satan;
they will be "astonished!" (Rev.17:8; Hab.1:5).

To clarify...
the death-stroke to one of the early governing heads (Rev.13:3; 17:9,10), is not the same as the sword stroke to the entire beast (Rev.13:12). 
All the earth sees the healed blow to the early "head", and even "marvels with admiration" at it (Rev.13:3), resulting in their following with admiration, the beast bearing that head.

All the earth does not understand the death of the Beast in the lives of the previous faithful 144,000, nor do they recognize the revival of that power of Satan's whole Wild Beast/Gentile army,   over God's Holy place during the Great Tribulation (Rev.17:8) (1Pet.2:5;  2Thess.2:4; Matt.24:15,16; Dan.11:31,32)
which Beast and idolatrous Image they assume is not present, because of their assumption that they too, have faithfully conquered the world. They assume the dominion of the beast..."was". 
How?
God's people make two wrong assumptions about Satan's world dominion, resulting in their inability to perceive that dominion, over them:
  ***They believe that their own limited concept of "Christian neutrality", is preventing their subjection to Satan's "Gentile" powers.
  ***Anointed are falsely declared to be protected, (have "peace and security") within the purported, "spiritual paradise".

Yet a Gentile fortress is exactly what God's people have subjected themselves to, 
through the tyrannical, persecuting Beast, and it's Image of divinity/being "god-breathed"/"spirit-directed" (Rev.13:15; John 20:22) which is in reality, a product of Satan's power and dominion ("sea") (Rev.13:1,2,4;  2Thess.2:9; Rev.9:11) after his release from the abyss. (pearl-leviathan.blogspot.com)
The "earth" does not recognize this Wild Beast's return, due to it's new disguise...
(it has been cloaked with divinity/spirit by the false prophet -Rev.13:15,14; John 20:22); 
nor do they recognize the re-emergence
of it's power and use by Satan; to persecute, ensnare, hold captive, and "kill"...
the anointed of God (Rev.13:1,2,7,8,10; 3:2-3; 2:10).
Rev.13:10; Col.2:8; Luke 21:24; Dan.11:33,35; 12:10

I hope you are able to see why the death stroke to one of the Wild Beast's "head"s...
as you say, "is the wound visible to all";
and why this is separate from the past defeat of the "Gentile" Wild Beast dominion,
whose re-emergence, goes unrecognized by God's people.
This is why, as unlikely as it would seem according to human reasoning...
Rev.13:3 A and Rev.13:14 D, is not referring to the same factor as Rev.13:1; 17:8,11.

Even though you ask about the "wound that the (entire) beast suffered" that will become "visible to all";
I hope you can now see that healing of the wound the entire beast suffered 
(by it's emergence from the abyss, and uncontested appointment over God's Temple), 
was not initially recognized (Rev.17:8).
The healed wound to the head, was recognized...
(The GB incarceration and release from prison in 1919) 
...and was the reason for all the "earth
to "marvel" in admiration,
so that it followed the entire Beast upon which the head resides.

       ["EARTH" = God's people (anointed) in prophecy] 

         -Jer.25:29,30,35,36; 23:1-8; (Isa.60:13; 66:1) Rev.13:8; 14:19; 
          Rev.18:24; Matt.23:34,35; 
          Rev.11:18; Hosea 4:6,12; Rev.12:9)
       ---"harvest of the earth" (Rev.14:15,16), 
             is the "dried out" harvest of "wheat" (check Greek)
             and that harvest of the earth is the sons of the kingdom (Matt.13:37,38,12; 3:12)
       --- When the interpretation of Rev.14:15 (according to the Greek - "Ripe" is "dried out") is compared to WT's interpretation and depiction in the Revelation Climax book (page 213); WT error can be discerned, due to their translating the "ripe" of Rev.14:15 as juicy grapes... rather than dried out ripe wheat, which is the harvest of faithful anointed.
They wish to give the impression, that the harvest of the faithful earth by Christ, is their own "juicy" vine of primarily, JW "other sheep" (who they teach are not anointed). 
When they teach their interpretation of Rev.14:18, they depict that vine as withered, and as representing the world outside of JWs. Yet the Greek word for "ripe" at Rev.14:18,19,20, IS juicy and plump 
(Joel 3:13). WT changes what the scriptures tell us, in order to favor their own harvest and supportive followers. 

The harvest of the vine of the earth, is of plump, rotten fruit of the unfaithful prophets (Matt.7:15,16,17,18,19; Rev.20:10; Matt.25:41; Rev.14:18). Their branches were meant to stay attached to Christ (John 15:5,6; Col.2:19), but they left him for a new master 
(Jer.2:21; Deut.32:32,33;  2Cor.11:2,3; Rev.8:10,11; 9:1,11 (both names mean "Destroyer"); Isa.33:1).
According to the Greek... the fruit of the plump vine is condemned to the wine-press of God's anger (John 15:4; Rev.14:19; Jer.2:21; 25:30) because the branches have failed to remain in union with Christ (John 15:5,6; Col.2:19; Jer.2:21; Deut.32:32,33,15,16,22; Rev.14:19; Joel 3:13).

The "earth" is separate from the "sea" belonging to Satan's world (Psalm 65:7; Isa.57:20).

The "earth" is not the whole world of mankind. It is the symbol for God's people.
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2014/07/world-earth-home.html)
While it's true that the entire organization known as "Jehovah's Witnesses" and the Chosen Ones within it, marveled at the release of it's governing "head" from prison in 1919 (and still do); this is not true of the entire world which does not "marvel" in unity at their political governments, nor at the "United Nations". 
But such is the case for the events of 1919, which in the admiring minds of "Jehovah's Witnesses", establishes their "blasphemous" organization (which bears those unfaithful heads/false prophets), as "God's spirit-directed organization" (Rev.13:1,5,6,7,9,10).
(https://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2013/02/updateaddition-to-YHVHs-genuine.html)
Just as Satan had hoped...the Chosen Ones have been mislead into a false sense of peace and security while under Satan's puppet dominion/covenant of Death..."Babylon the Great", her Harlot daughters, and his "Gentile" Wild Beast. 
The Chosen have been deceived into believing that they have already recognized and conquered the satanic spiritual dominion of the "world" (the Beast that "was, but now is not, and yet is");
...despite the fact that it is that very "Gentile" entity, which has now emerged to become their Overlord and Idol.
They never took note, as the anointed priests and shepherds were being replaced by spiritual Gentiles, who were bestowed with a false facade of spirit-appointment, due to the dragon tongue of the false prophet (Rev.13:11,15,14; Eze.44:6,7,8,9;  2Chron.13:9) breathing spirit into it himself.

As a side point...the seven kings/horns of Christ,
and the seven kings/heads of the Wild Beast,
is what Christ was referring to at Matt.24:7.
This is a war between the "wheat" and "weeds"...
truth and lies...
the faithful and unfaithful Chosen Ones.
This is the essence of the final battle of Armageddon,
and the culmination of the war (Gen.3:15; Rev.12:7; 16:14,15,16; 17:14; 19:11,14,19).
[For more on this spiritual fulfillment of "the sign of the end",
  please see (pearl-sign.blogspot.com).]

I sincerely hope this addresses your question. I know this is deep stuff.
Satan's end-time machinations are not simple (Matt.24:24;  2Cor.11:3),
so laying them out plainly in the light, takes some doing;
both on the part of the teacher, and of the student.
Please respond if any need remains.
Love in Christ,

  1. Hello Pearl,

    If I may can I give you a perspective on what the head wound of the wild beast might be?

    In my opinion it seems to be a fulfillment of the prophecy of Genesis 3:15:

    Genesis 3:15 -And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; her offspring will attack your head,and you will attack her offspring’s heel.”

    Have we ever seen the head wound of the wild beast? I believe so, and I believe that It happened in Jesus day. The wild beast received a head wound and appeared to have been killed due to Jesus miracles and preaching and prophesying (John 11:48). But the lethal wound appeared healed when Jesus was killed, and the whole world followed in amazement (John 16:20). This reflects what will happen in the latter part of the days when the two witnesses wound the head of the wild beast and it appears as though it is dead, just like Jesus did, with their prophesying and powerful works (Revelation 11:4-6; Revelation 13:3a). Then the wild beast will conquer the two witnesses and kill them just as Jesus was conquered and killed, and this is how the head wound of the wild beast is healed (Revelation 11:7,8; Revelation 13:3b). The wild beast is able to kill the two witnesses, as it did Jesus and take back it's kingdom (John 11:48) and thus the whole world follows it in amazement Revelation 13:3,4; John 16:20).

    I also believe the dream of Nebuchadnezzar of the tree being chopped down and the tap root having a iron band placed around it until seven times passes by, MIGHT have some significance here as well.
