So the Angel tells it to John this way. In other words the Angel reduces the KINGDOMS (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome AND............The coming Little Horn (Anti-Christ) to KINGS THAT HAVE FALLEN.............But why ? In order to allow us to understand that the LAST KING is a man that will FALL before he can ever pass his Kingdom on, thus the last head is NOT a Kingdom per se like the others, its only ever headed by ONE MAN !!
That is why we get the Seven Heads are SEVEN MOUNTAINS (Rulers who have arisen) AND they are also Seven Kings...........5 have Fallen..........one is [but will fall].....and one is YET TO COME (Little Horn/Anti-Christ). These are all of the Kingdoms, including the Little Horns Kingdom, that rule over the Mediterranean Sea Region and Israel throughout History, save the 2000 year Church Age (the Church could not be overcome by the gates of hell thus we delivered the MORTAL WOUND, LOL, over time the Church turned Rome from a Beast to a deliverer of the Gospel, Amen !! Glory).
Who is the 8th King that of OF THE SEVEN ? Well if he is of all 7, he has to be a Demon Spirit, he comes up from the pit and goes to destruction (Hell) in Rev. 17. Well it actually tells us who he is in Rev. 17, he is the Scarlet Colored Beast with NO CROWNS !! The Rev. 12 Red Dragon has 7 CROWNS on the heads because Satan is over every Kingdom of this World, the Revelation 13 Beast has 10 CROWNS on the 10 Horns because he is over the 10 European Kings !! The Rev. 17 Scarlet Colored Beast is Apollyon. He was also called something else in Daniel ch. 10, The Prince of Persia ( he was OF THE 7 !! ). He was appointed over this region (Mediterranean Sea Region). He was also over Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and he wanted Persia to stay in power but God and his Angels (Michael etc.) wanted Alexander the Great to defeat Persia, thus Apollyon resisted them 21 days, but of course his effort was futile, you can't resist God. But NOW we know why Alexander the Great Conquered so swiftly LOL, the Angels were fighting on his side BOOM, Amen. Thus Apollyon was OF THE SEVEN and that means he will eventually be released from the pit and he will be over the Mediterranean Sea Region again, while the Little Horn/Anti-Christ reigns during the End Times ( SEE Revelation chapter 9) As we speak now Apollyon has been placed in the Bottomless pit for nigh 2000 years.......Thus HE WAS...........IS NOT............YET IS.
There is no actual SEVEN HEADED BEAST, it's a Figurative Beast.........thus according to who is being spoken of in juxtaposition to this 2500-3000 year old Figurative Beast we see different players mentioned in different chapters. Rev. 12 is about Satan (Red Dragon), he RULES THIS WORLD........And the Mediterranean Sea Region......... Rev. 17 is about Apollyon, a Demonic Entity assigned to rule over the Mediterranean Sea Region (Principalities or Powers in high places), and thus over Israel, who called him the Destroyer...........and of course the Rev. 13 Beast shows the LAST or the SEVENTH HEAD will be the Little Horn/Anti-Christ/MAN shown in Daniel 7:11, who is cast into hell.
There is no Mystery Babylon, the Angel told us he would tell us the Mystery in Rev. 17:7, thus in Rev. 17:8-18 we are told everything, if we listen.
There is a Harlot, ALL FALSE RELIGION in all the world and she is killed of by the Kings (Beast she rides), thus Islam and all Religions are BURNED/DESTROYED in Rev. 17:16.
Then there is the Rev.18 Babylon (WHOLE WORLD) or Satan's Dark Kingdom on earth, Babel means Confusion, and everyone serving the Beast is no doubt confused. When Jesus defeats the City/Nations in Rev. 16:19 it clearly says God sees these Nations He defeated as Babylon the Great and gives them the WINEPRESS of His Wrath !!
Babylon's COMMERCE in Rev. 18 is destroyed by the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments, about 3.5 to 4 Billion people are killed or die, that will of course destroy an economy, along with all the grasses burning, 1/3 of the trees burning, 1/3 ships destroyed, 1/3 of the sea creatures dying, 1/3 of the sea turns to blood, 1/3 of the waters are poisoned and the sun and moon gives not their light, the stars fall to earth, etc, etc. etc. So BABYLON (Whole World) is hit by God's Plagues, thus Rev. 18 starts in Rev. ch. 6 with the First Seal and ends in Rev. ch. 16 with the 7th Vial, or Jesus Returning.
God also tells Israel to come out of her (Babylon/WORLD) my people, lest she receives of Babylons PLAGUES !! It's the exact same event as Rev. 12 and Rev. 7 (144,000 are actually just ALL Israel Fleeing Judea). And of course Babylon (WHOLE WORLD) is the Habitation of Devils because Satan and his Demons have been cast out of Heaven and down unto earth, and Apollyon and his Demons have been released from the pit.
