Correlation between Gen and Rev 17
From idontknownuthin
We just examined the descendants of Cain and Abel and saw that seven died so that ten could live.
Where else in the Bible do we find the numbers seven and ten in close proximity? This is an activity of correlation.
There are four places:
2Ch 30:24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Re 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Re 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw 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.
Re 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Re 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
The fact that seven and ten are in close proximity only in these places is no accident, and therefor are related.
We will get to the others later, but will solve the riddle of Chapter 17 now.
