The False Prophet - Skolfield
Scarlet Beast
CHAPTER 14

And the light of a candle shall shine
no more at all in thee;
and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride
shall be heard no more at all in thee...
And in her was found the blood of prophets,
and of saints,
and of all that were slain upon the earth.
REV 18:23-24

HISTORICALLY positioned at the fall of the Davidic kingdom,
Daniel’s visions accurately predict the four great Gentile empires, who
would rule in the Holy Land during the Time of the Gentiles. The
visions of the “Great Image” and “Four Beasts” identify those major
Middle Eastern empires as Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome
(Daniel chapters 2 and 7). The descendants of those empires, united
under Islam, continued to rule the Holy Land from 639 to 1948-1967.
       Daniel’s primary ministry was to tell the Jews about their future
during the 2573 years their land would be under Gentile control, and he
did so in a series of parallel and repetitive prophecies. The Lord also told
Daniel how long that Gentile domination would last (the Time, Times,
and a Half), but Daniel couldn’t understand “time” (Dan 12:8), so until
this generation, nobody knew when the Time of the Gentiles would be
over.
 
Scarlet Beast 147

       After the cross, God inspired another apocalyptic prophet, the
Apostle John, to write the book of Revelation. John was positioned at
the beginning of the Christian Era, and his book is primarily about this
era.1 The Leopard-Bear-Lion identifies the Islamic beast who would
trespass on the Holy City for 1278 years, while the Scarlet Beast is an
overview of the Gentile empires that would trouble God’s people
throughout time.

Rev 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.

       When we look back at history through the grid of Revelation, the
seven heads of Rev 17:3 exactly fit the world empires that have
controlled the Holy Land down through the ages. But to understand who
these empires are, we need to look at them from the historic position of
the Apostle John, in about 100AD:

Rev 17:10-11 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one
is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.

       During John’s lifetime, Rome was in power, so Rome was empire
number six, the empire that IS. The “five fallen” would then have to be
five empires that controlled the Holy Land before John’s time. Four of
those empires can easily be documented as Assyria, Babylon, Medo-
Persia and Greece. The identity of the first “king” is less certain; it could
be Egypt, but it is more probably the Canaanites.2
______________________________

1 Revelation is also a figurative work, and it is organized in exactly the same way that
Daniel is – in a series of repetitive prophecies. The two beasts of Revelation 13 and 17 are
repetitive pictures of world history, and they are repeated in an organized way. Rev 17
equals Rev 13 as the B=B of Rev’s 2nd chiasm. The chiasm is a Hebrew poetic form that
was used in both Daniel and Revelation. The chapter Chiasms & Bifids in Sozo, Survival
Guide for a Remnant Church explains this form and shows how it is key to understanding
the parallel and repetitive nature of the visions in the apocalyptic books. If there is
sufficient interest in this book, a sequel will be released that contains all this supporting
information.
2 Some teach that the seven kings of the Scarlet Beast were Roman emperors of the 1st
century and that Revelation was primarily written to the Church of John’s time. However,
we can now conclusively prove that the Two Witnesses, the Leopard-Bear-Lion, and the
day=years are repetitive prophecies that span the Christian Era. Consequently, it is
hermeneutically unsound to conclude that out of the whole book of Revelation, only
Chapter 17 would be addressed to the Church of the 1st Century. If Rev 17 was only to
the 1st century Church, it would be a departure from the repetitive chiasmic pattern the

       A 7th empire would follow Rome and continue a little while. After
Rome fell in 476AD, the next major empire to rule in the Holy Land was
the Leopard-Bear-Lion, and in God’s eternal eyes, the Moslems did
remain a little while. 1260 years is a “short space” for an eternal God.1
       The seven heads of the Scarlet Beast are human empires that
existed in both Old and New Testament eras, so who is the beast itself?
The Scarlet Beast out of which those heads came must have existed for
thousands of years. No human empire lasts through millennia, so this
beast must be some unseen creature or kingdom that has existed in the
spiritual world for thousands of years. And it has! This Scarlet Beast has
been influencing the empires of men of every age, and those kingdoms
were given into his hand long ago, just as the Bible told us at the
temptation of Jesus:

1 Nazi Germany geographically duplicated the old Roman Empire, and it lasted for a very
“short space” (just 12 years), so I wrote in Hidden Beast 2 that Nazi Germany was
probably the 7th head of the Scarlet Beast. I was wrong. Since a “short space” is a rather
vague term, I was looking at that space of time from man’s perspective rather than God’s.
That “short space” probably means something like, “I’m going to the library, and I’m
going to stay there for a short space,” indicating that I am going to spend some time at the
library. When the Lord declared that the 7th head would continue “for a short space,” it
now appears He was declaring that the Leopard-Bear-Lion Beast would rule in the Holy
Land for 1260 years, just as the day=years and time, times have now shown us.

GRAPH NUMBER 19

 
Scarlet Beast 150

Luk 4:5-6 And the devil, taking him [Jesus] up into an high
mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will
I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me.

       Since the Scarlet Beast transcends time, it would almost have to be
a figurative representation of Satan’s spiritual domain down through
time. Satan was given dominion over all the kingdoms of the earth, so
Satan’s kingdom is probably the Scarlet Beast:

Rev 17:8 & 11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and
shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when
they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And the beast
that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition.

       There is something else peculiar about this satanic beast. This
wicked beast “was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit.” What can that mean? It means that before Jesus went to the cross,
Satan had direct control over the empires of the world, but by John’s
time “he is not.” Satan lost his dominion at that point, and was cast into
the bottomless pit. So when and how was Satan cast into that pit, and by
whom? Therein lies one of the most beautiful truths in the New
Testament.

THE KINGDOM OF JESUS

       In the sovereign plan of God, Jesus was not granted authority over
all things, nor was He given a kingdom, until after He ascended to the
right hand of God the Father. Before then, as a matter of biblical truth,
the kingdoms of this earth were given into Satan’s hand (Luk 4:6). But
after the Lord was crucified, all things were given into Jesus’ hands, and
He now rules over a very real spiritual kingdom that exists today:

Eph 1:20-23 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from
the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and
gave him to be the head over all things to the church.
 
Scarlet Beast 151

       That’s reality. The kingdom of the Lord Jesus exists right now,
today. Satan had it all his way until Jesus went to the cross. But after
Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, the enemy was finished, and
he knew it. While Jesus was still on earth, He told his disciples about
this several times:

Luk 10:18 & Joh 12:31 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven ... . Now is the judgment of this world:
now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

       Cast out to where? To the abyss. We find that same event recorded
in Revelation but told to us in figurative language:

Rev 20:1-2 And I saw an angel [Jesus] come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years [and thus, the thousand
years of Rev 20 is a figure of the Christian Era].1

       You know, folks, we have been looking for Jesus’ kingdom through
the wrong end of our spiritual telescopes, and the Church has been fed
“doctrines of demons.” Just as Scripture declared three times, we
Christians have been ruling with Christ since the cross.2 We are even
now “seated in the heavenlies with Him” (Eph 2:6). With all that has
happened to the brethren during this era, it may not seem like we have
done much ruling, but we have been ruling, all the same. Our kingdom
is spiritual and it has never been of this world. It is in the heavenlies,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Christians are here on
earth, among the servants of Satan, for a specific purpose:

Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house,
and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then
he will spoil his house.

       Jesus bound the “strong man” at the cross and we are here to carry
off Satan’s goods by leading the lost to Jesus. Every time we lead a soul
to the Lord, we are carting off Satan’s property. So what do you think

the enemy’s response would be to saints who are despoiling his
kingdom? Here is Satan’s response:

2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution.

       We would like our Christian lives to be quiet and sweet and free
from trials, but that has never been the Lord’s plan for us. It wasn’t true
for the earlier saints of this era and it isn’t true for us. Most who have
gone before were tortured and murdered for their faith in Jesus. Is there
some reason we should expect better? If we are not being persecuted, it
is because we haven’t done anything to deserve it. Being a Christian
isn’t some effortless little fire escape to keep us all from going to Hell.
It is a lifetime commit-ment to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, even
unto torture and death. When a saint dies for Jesus’ sake, it isn’t a defeat,
it’s a victory, for “a servant is not greater than his Master”:

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death.

       That is what it is supposed to be like. Dead or alive, we reign with
Christ. Satan was totally defeated at the cross, cast down, and throughout
this era he has been bound in the abyss that he might not deceive the
nations. But then we read ...

Rev 17:8, 11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition ... and they
shall wonder ... when they behold the beast that was, and is not,
and yet is ... And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

       Who was bound and cast into the bottomless pit (i.e., the abyss)?
Satan, so Satan himself is the 8th Beast. He lost direct control of the
nations at the cross, but he still “is,” and he has been ordering his fallen
angels throughout this age to tempt the hearts of men. The enemy didn’t
gain direct control of the nations again until 1967, after the 7th head (the
Leopard-Bear-Lion) was fulfilled (Rev 12:12). Jesus bound Satan at the
cross and cast him into the abyss, and to whom did He give the keys?
The Lord gave the Church the keys:
 
Scarlet Beast 153

Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven.

       Defeat comes when we allow the enemy to lead us into the activities
of his material world to the point where we become indistinguishable
from the unsaved. When he does so, we stop witnessing, and in a very
real sense we loose Satan to influence the minds of those about us. In
this generation of ease, the Church has gotten up off its knees – which
loosed Satan’s chains – and once again the enemy and his angels have
been released upon the Earth (Rev 12:12). He is not a human antichrist,
nor a talking statue on the old temple mount, and you are not going to
visibly see him. But the enemy has been released from his prison, and he
goes forth to deceive the nations:

Rev 20:7-8 And when the thousand years are expired [the
Christian Era], Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall
go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the
earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle...

       As this era draws to a close, you see national boundaries collapsing
and a one-world super economy developing. A one-world religion is also
appearing – a global ecumenism embracing many faiths. But that
ecumenism is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is able to save men’s
souls from the wrath to come. It is the great religious whore, and it is
inspired and run by the enemy.

THE TEN HORNS OF THE SCARLET BEAST

       Within Israel’s borders are the Palestinians, the Indifada, and the
terrorist Hamas, while outside its borders lie a group of radical Islamic
states. All are avowed enemies of God’s people, and they fulfill the
Leopard-Bear-Lion. But under the influence of the 8th beast (Satan), a
godless council of ten is rising in the rest of the world for one hour (as
time is reckoned in day-years that equals about two weeks).1 With Satan
loosed from his prison, he will again directly control the world’s

empires, but this time his kingdom will appear as ten political or
economic regions.

Rev 17:12-13 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.

In the past, visible world empires have always been controlled by
visible public figures, but these ten horns are different. First, they don’t
come out of any of the heads but from the beast itself, so they are NOT
the descendants of one of the seven previous empires. Second, they are
not real kings or political leaders, but they receive power “as kings,” so
they are some kind of shadow empire operating behind the scenes, and
that exactly fits global conditions today.
       Folks, the following observations are not the fevered imagination of
some conspiracy nut. These organizations do exist, and their influence
on our land of liberty and their control of our financial systems can be
read about in your own local paper. What’s more, they exactly fit Bible
prophecy about the final Gentile empire to come.
 
Scarlet Beast 155


Shortly after World War II, at the suggestion of major European bankers,
a group of financiers and politicians in the United States, formed the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). That organization then founded the
Trilateral Commission (TC). In 1954, the CFR hosted a meeting in the
Bilderburg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland (thus the name, the
Bilderburgers), with the express purpose of regionalizing Europe.
Today’s European Common Market is a product of that meeting. A
further development of that meeting was the establishment of a
European arm of the CFR named the Club of Rome. The Club was given
one major task to perform: to divide the world into ten economic regions
and plan for their unification under one economic head. If you noticed
the number ten ... then alarm bells should start going off in your head.
The Club held its first meeting in 1968, and proposed that these ten
trading areas be known as ten kingdoms.1

Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the beast.

       The CFR and the Trilateralists see the world as ten kingdoms, and
almost every important appointed or elected official in Washington, of
either party, is a member of one or both of those organizations. The
United States, Canada, and Mexico are Region One of this Ten-Horned
hegemony, and that is what NAFTA was really all about: the forming of
Region One.1 These one-world organizations are all intertwined, with
many members in common. There are other even less visible groups, like
the Illuminati, but they all have a single goal: total economic, political
and spiritual control of the world.
       A few years later, the same international bankers and politicos put
their plan into action by forming a committee called the General
Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT). It should come as no surprise
that GATT views the world as the same ten kingdoms envisioned by the
Club of Rome. In speaking of these international financiers, Barry
Goldwater wrote:

The Council of Foreign Relations is the American branch of a
society which originated in England...(and)...believes national
boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established.
The Trilateral Commission is international ...(and)... intends to be
the vehicle for multi-national consolidation of the commerce and
banking interests by seizing control of the political government of
the United States.
What (they) truly intend is the creation of a world-wide economic
power superior to the political government of the nation states
involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the
future.2

       Goldwater’s words were indeed prophetic. By 1987, the Trilateral
Commission (TC) controlled 60% of the world’s wealth through banks,
presidents of multi-nationals, media moguls, politicians, and university
authorities.3

       The CFR has been in control of US policy for some time now. At
the suggestion of the chairman of the CFR, President Nixon initiated a
special enforcement arm of the executive branch known as the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Ignoring both state
boundaries and state governments, this agency sees the United States as
ten management regions and recognizes the same ten global kingdoms
as established by the CFR, TC, and GATT.1 Structurally, FEMA behaves
as a federal police force, answerable to the executive branch alone. From
an organizational standpoint, FEMA and the BATF are not unlike the
Gestapo or SS of Nazi Germany – they are totally independent
enforcement agencies that are not answerable to congress. As a result,
this country could be placed under martial law at the stroke of an
executive pen.
       Most of our important elected or appointed officials support a oneworld
government and the termination of the United States as a
sovereign nation. Our handsome officials don’t look like the betrayers
of our Constitution because they wear coats and ties and sound oh so
environmentally concerned and so “compassionate,” but many are
covertly maneuvering our country away from our traditional democratic
form of government.
       A small handful of honest legislators have tried to defeat the
unconstitutional mandates being issued by one-world leaders through the
executive branch and other authorities, but their efforts are not reported
in the media (why am I not surprised), so the American people have no
idea what is really going on. Those who do try to investigate the
conspiracy, like Senator John Tower or Congressman Larry McDonald,
are first discredited and then, by some mysterious fluke of fate, manage
to get themselves killed in fatal airplane “accidents.”

Eze 22:27-28 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves
ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get
dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed [i.e., whitewashed
over] them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining

lies unto them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD
hath not spoken.”

       Do not be deluded by what you hear on the nightly news, my
friends. Major heads of most communications networks are also
members of the CFR and TC and the “news” we hear from these sources
is distorted to further one-world agendas. In its own publication, a CFR
spokesman declared that it intended to make an end run around our
national sovereignty to “get us to the new world order.” The long range
goal of the agencies controlled by international financiers is to bring us
under a world financial government ruled by them.1

Rev 13:17 no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

       It all begins to fit together, doesn’t it? But this would be of little
importance to Christians who are walking in the Lord were it not for one
cataclysmic problem. According to their plans, these ten kingdoms will
be governed by a council of ten. These financial and political world
leaders are not Christians. They are New-Agers, and many are outright
occultists who are channeling with demons.2 Most overtly hate
fundamental Christians (no big surprise, considering it is Satan who
controls them), so when they come into power, persecution,
imprisonment, and even death could again be the lot of the saints, just
as the Bible predicts:

Rev 11:7 And when they [the Two Witnesses] shall have finished
their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit
shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill
them.

       Here is that beast out of the bottomless pit again, and the Jews and
the visible church –– the two Witnesses – are right in his gun sights.
Now that we know who the ten horns are, the above verse exactly
parallels the final prophecy about the harlot that sits on the Scarlet
Beast:

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.1

       As Christians play the harlot with the toys of the enemy, that
woman, all decked out in royal apparel, who sits astride the beast, is
none other than the visible church. She is the mainline Protestants, with
their $25,000,000 sanctuaries, the Roman Catholics, with their papal
authority, and all who have departed from the Word of God. The fate is
sealed for the visible church. She is going to be destroyed, just like
Revelation 11:7-8 foretells. Consequently, it is of inestimable
importance for the “called out ones,” the true Church, to know what it
is supposed to do.
       It isn’t going to be life as usual ... going to church, raising our
children and grandchildren, and saving for a retirement to some quiet
nook in the country. Changing a few people in the Senate or Congress
isn’t going to make any difference. Getting a new President isn’t going
to change anything. Most of our revered political, industrial, and media
leaders and many well known religious names are members of the CFR,
TC, COR, Illuminati, or all four.2 Even if they weren’t, they are trying
to make peace with an Islam the Bible declares to be our last enemy.
       A new, so-called “laughing revival” or some great charismatic
experience won’t change the outcome either, because it won’t change
people’s hearts. The magic show you see in the Church today is just
another part of the enemy’s grand deception – geared to lull Laodicean

believers to sleep – and it has done just that. The truth is this: We are in
the final generation, and Satan has been loosed upon the Earth:

Rev 17:12-13 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.

       These Ten Horns will give their power to Satan! Remembering the
day=year calendar, an hour equals about two weeks. Those “hours”
appear in Revelation seven times. The “hour of trial” of Rev 3:10 equals
two weeks. “In that same hour” of Rev 11:13 equals two weeks. “The
hour of judgment” of Rev 14:7 equals two weeks. “In one hour” is
recorded three times in the destruction of Babylon (Rev 18:10, 17, 19).
All of these are parallel prophecies about the same time, and because of
these “hours,” Armageddon will probably last about two weeks.1 With
today’s weaponry, two weeks is probably long enough. If it were to last
much longer, there might not be a Mount Zion upon which the Lord
could stand when He returns.2 The carnage could go on, but to save the
few elect who are still hanging on by their fingernails, Jesus will put a
stop to it.

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

       Seven times in Revelation we read of the “hour of trial,” and that
hour is upon us. As of this writing, the Ten Horns are here, so with the
exception of that hour and the battle of Armageddon itself, there seems
to be little prophecy still to be fulfilled.
       Europe is fast sliding into the Middle Eastern camp with Islam the
fastest-growing religion there. Amsterdam, Holland, home of the
Anabaptist martyrs, has become a cesspool of iniquity. A witch in
Zurich, Switzerland, knows only two Christians, and they don’t live

there. She met them in the train station, while they were touring Europe.1
The USSR has collapsed, and there is credible evidence that her
break-away states are selling nuclear arms to radical Islamic countries.
As a result, terrorist organizations could soon possess nuclear arsenals
and by covert delivery, get those weapons to any target they wish.

thou shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit
him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light?
even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Spirit that we have lost our beloved land. Greed has destroyed our
crystal rivers and our endless forests. Our bountiful wildlife has been
decimated, and the passenger pigeon is no more.
       Woe to us, indeed. What are we to do? Well, in identifying the final
enemies of the Church (the Leopard-Bear-Lion and Ten Horns of the
Scarlet Beast), we are seeing the final signs that “our redemption
draweth nigh” (Luk 21:28). But what we need to know is this: How does
the Lord intend to hide us from the enemy’s clutches.

A COUPLE MORE NEWS BRIEFS

Two Israelis are dead, four are seriously wounded, and close to 40
others are hurt. These are the results of a Palestinian terrorist attack
in Jerusalem this afternoon, in which one or more Arabs opened
fire at a public bus near the French Hill junction. Alert citizens and
soldiers opened fire and killed one terrorist, but not before he
managed to fire several rounds of fire through the front of the bus -
full with many high school girls returning from their studies. This
was the 5th terrorist attack at this junction. One of the wounded is
the driver, an Arab resident of eastern Jerusalem.

How many more? Yet another Israeli civilian was murdered today
when Palestinian terrorists ambushed his car with gunfire, south of
Shechem. The terrorists were then overtaken and killed by an IDF
force. It occurred not far from the Gilad Junction, named for Gilad
Zar, who was murdered there in a similar attack about five months
ago. The terrorist cell included members of Hamas, Fatah, and the
Communist Party.
