1 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 Some argue that the sea refers to the Gentile nations (Isaiah 17:12, 57:20, and Revelation 17:15). However, since 11:7 and 17:8 both state that the beast comes up out of the abyss, the sea could be referring to the abyss. The Old Testament, speaks of the sea as the realm of satanic activity (cf. Job 26:12; Pss. 74:1314; 89:910; Isa. 27:1). Some of the demons are currently incarcerated in the abyss (cf. 9:111; Luke 8:31). Satan will be imprisoned in that abyss during the millennial kingdom (20:13). He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns He is identified with Satan Cf. Rev 12:3; 17:9-13; Daniel 7:23-25; 8:9-25; 11:36-39. 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 Cf. Dan 7:3-7.
