Revelation 17:11 "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”.
in verse 9 it said, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom”. in our English grammar, which if we read the verse here as is, it does not clearly reveal what is spoken, so we will reveal it to you in a way so that you can clearly understand. this is what I call embedded revelation. let's look at the entire scripture and learn.
the verse said, ”And the beast that was, and is not,” but the middle of the verse is the embedded wisdom, “even he is the eighth, and is of the seven” we will color code this blue for future reference, and now the last part of the scripture, “and goeth into perdition”. lets make it clear. a King was born in the mist of the beast, in the land of Israel. that was and is not because the Roman empire now at that time ruled. but because of this seventh King, he overcomes the beast, and this kingdom. now we will give you the answer, and show it to you plainly as who is this eighth and of the seven, King. the seventh King that was born in the mist of Israel where the beast reside while the Roman empire rule, is none other than the Lord Jesus the Christ himself. who was “BORN KING”, according to the flesh. see Matthews Chapter 2: verses 1-12.
verse 10 above said, ”and when he cometh, he must continue a short space”, which he did because he was cut off, crucified in the flesh. but he rose the third day resurrected, and glorified. the resurrected glorified Christ is the eighth King, eternal, immortal, and his KINGDOM IS ETERNAL, NO END. lets see it clearly.
going back to our verse here, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. lets see how, by wisdom we get the understanding of this King. first, by taking the scriptures apart one can clearly see the seventh and eighth King. as said watch the blue section . "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. if one take this blue section out then the scriptures reads as this, ,"And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition”. this is what happens to the beast, but the revelation is this, place the blue section back in but at the end, and it reads as follows, "And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven”. see it now. “he” the King that was born. how do we know this? because the scripture states, “OF” the seven. which might make one think, is he Jesus, one of the seven heads? NO, the Lord Jesus is “OF” the tribe of Juda in the Land of Israel where the beast reside, he came out of JUDA, from the remnant of the nation called Israel, where the beast reside, (which tried to kill him as a babe, again see matthews chapter 2, it's the Road map to chapter 12). for no Kingdom can have two Kings. supportive scripture, Hebrews 7:14 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood”. so no, our Lord did not “come from” Juda, but “out OF” Juda. meaning out of the nation, of Israel, where the beast reside. for he was “BORN KING”, meaning he's the seventh King, according to the NATURAL flesh of men. this is the reason why the wise men came to worship the new Born KING. as King he is the seventh, and why states of, because of his cutting off or his crucifixion, he now is risen and live a NEW LIFE by the Spirit, the New eternal Life in “flesh and Bones”, (hence he's the eighth of the seven, (same Person, just risen from the DEAD) who was King and was Killed, (while in flesh). and having the same flesh and bones, (which did not see corruption) he is of, of, of, the seventh King, because his flesh and bones that was resurrected is now glorified. for he was the seven, in succession, the seventh King. five has fallen and one is, he is that seven, showing completeness in the flesh, the son of David, (THE NEW MAN).
when I first showed this many years ago, some accused me of changing the scriptures, they said, I added or either I took away from the scriptures. NO, it was just show how to understand the verse, that’s all. for nothing was taken away, nor added, just arranged to show the true meaning, all of the scripture is still there, nothing is changed. as the angels said, “and here is the mind which hath wisdom”.
the eighth King has been a mystery to a many of people for a a long time, but the word of God reveals it. as the scripture states, the eighth is of the seven, (the same person... as the Lord Jesus said, "was Dead now ALIVED", for it was the remnant that he came out “of”. he is the first stone in the building of this NEW EVERLASTING KINGDOM, (go back to Isaiah 9:6 the EVERLASTING FATHER. and the very next verse, Isaiah 9:7 "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." to which the Harlot rejected. that's why he's the EIGHTH KING, his rejection of the Jews, and his crucifixion, open the way for this SPIRITUAL KINGDOM TO BE ESTABLISH. and he’s been adding to that foundation ever since after his resurrection. so when he finish, the wedding supper will commence.
now to prove that he is the eighth King, lets go back to the book of Genesis. this is going to surprise many, but some may know it. question, how many day are there in a week?. Genesis Chapter 17 starting at verse 10 " This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed (NOTICE SEED, AND NOT SEEDS AS IN MANY), after thee; (Notice seed). Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". Eight in the Bible is symbolic for Covenant. watch, "circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed”.
Abraham got the promise by faith, before he was circumcise, and circumcision is the token or sign of that FAITH. so the promise came by FAITH, and not of works. and to make that promise available to all, (because he is the father of many nations), it is by FAITH in God, who was manifested in the likeness of that sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh so that we can be made the righteousness of God. for if one who have died to the flesh, sin no more. this same life is also promise to the gentiles in Christ. to assure of the seed that is to come, that Gentile seed, that's the stranger that comes under your roof Abraham. scripture. "of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". even he must be circumcise on the EIGHTH day. understand, our covenant is an eight day covenant, that's the NEW DAY COVENANT and that comes by circumcision of the heart/spirit and not of the flesh. this is why the Christian assemble on what WE CALL the FIRST DAY of the week, because it is the EIGHTH DAY of COVENANT.
God didn't name any day he numbered them. and his day with us as a covenant people is the EIGHTH DAY.
lets see this EIGHTH KING in the eighth day as Abraham was circumcise and was told to circumcise any and all on what day?. the "EIGHT" day. when was JESUS circumcise? scripture Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb". Glory to God. now one can see why many gather on the eighth day which follows the seventh day. (but that’s another whole topic by itself).
but the question arises, Jesus was circumcise in flesh so why not us? good question, for he was born under the Law to to fulfill it, which he did. and once fulfilled, he died to the flesh and was resurrected IN THE SPIRIT. listen, 2 Corinthians 5:16 "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more”. (BINGO). now only the Heart is circumcised as was told long ago. Deuteronomy 10:15 "Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day." Deuteronomy 10:16 "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.". our Spiritual covenant is "THE EIGHT DAY COVENANT", in Spirith and in TRUTH, that's how we worship God. in his Kingdom, in Spirit and in TRUTH. Romans 2:28, "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God".
