      • Yes, at the time that the prophecy was given to John five head had already ruled and one was currently ruling. This is part of the time that the heads have the crowns. Then in Revelation 3 we see the seventh head.
      • Revelation 13:1-3
        And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.
        And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. (NIV)
      • This seventh head suffers a mortal wound and then the man from the Abyss takes over his body and he becomes the man called the beast thereafter. This is all very strange, I know, but this is what the Scriptures say.
      • Anyway, the crowns are on the heads, and then during the reign of the beast, (the seventh head is dead), the crowns are on the ten kings, or horns.
    3. The number and location of the crowns is not important.

  11. In Daniel 7 we see a "little horn" that rises up among the ten horns, what is significant about this?

    2. Right Answer!It means that this evil man rises to power at the time of the ten kings, but his is not actually one of them.
      • Yes, the Antichrist/beast is not one of the ten kings.
    3. It means that this is a different beast, this one has eleven horns.
      • No, it is the same fourth kingdom beast.
    4. Both (a.) and (c.) above.
