Section I – Prologue: The Scriptural Foundation

The Throne of God and the Thrones of Men

From the beginning, Scripture presents authority as a sacred gift from God, not to be seized but received in righteousness.

ORIGINS OF GOD: A CROSSROADS OF RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY & WARFARE – Library of Rickandria

"By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth"
(Proverbs 8:15–16)

Earthly rule is permitted within divine boundaries.

When rulers rebel, they reflect the first lie — 

"Ye shall be as gods" (Genesis 3:5)
Psalm 2 warns of this conspiracy:

"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed" (Psalm 2:2)

Though the nations rage, God has already set His King upon the holy hill of Zion (Psalm 2:6).

Daniel’s visions further unveil the succession of Gentile empires:

  • Babylon (lion)
  • Medo-Persia (bear)
  • Greece (leopard)
  • Rome (terrible beast)

These are not random symbols — they are the Spirit’s interpretation of power systems that rule without God.

Revelation 13 presents a final hybrid system:

"like unto a leopard, his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion" (Revelation 13:2)

The composite Beast is the culmination of all prior dominions.

This manuscript, then,

begins with a clear distinction:

between the true kingdom of Christ and the usurping dominion of man.

Between the Lamb on Mount Zion and the Beast from the sea.

This is not a political study — it is prophetic warfare.

Summary

This section has defined the biblical foundations for:

  • righteous kingship
  • the rebellion of the nations
  • the prophetic outline of history

The enemy has always counterfeited God’s patterns — but the final judgment belongs to the rightful King.

In Section II, we trace the seed of kings — the bloodlines from Scripture through historical monarchies, revealing the hidden thread of authority claimed by rulers down to our present day.

Genealogy is not just history — it is spiritual alignment.

Section II – The Seed of Kings: Genealogy and Dominion

image.png 2.89 MB View full-size Download

1. Divine Appointment and the Promise of Kings

The promise of kingship was not merely a political prediction — it was a divine covenant.

In Genesis 17:6,

God tells Abraham:

"I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."

ABRAHAM – FATHER OF NATIONS – Library of Rickandria

This was fulfilled not just in Israel,

but through:

  • Edom
  • Egypt
  • Babylon

and beyond.

From Abraham's line came kings both righteous and wicked — 

  • Saul
  • David
  • Solomon

and ultimately, the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1)

The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:12–16) guarantees that a descendent of David will sit on the throne forever.

Psalm 89 reinforces this promise:

"His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven" (Psalm 89:29)

These are not metaphors — they are the root of the Messiah’s kingly claim (Luke 1:32–33).

2. The Royal Thread Through Scripture

Scripture does not hide genealogies — it proclaims them.

Chronicles begins with them.

The Gospels open with them.

These are not dry lists; they are divine record-keeping.

They show:

  • lineage
  • inheritance
  • covenant continuity

The House of Judah, specifically through Pharez and later Zarah, formed royal lines through David.

But there also exists an obscure path — through the Zarahite line, tied to legends of Tea Tephi in Ireland and the Stone of Scone.

These elements, whether mythic or literal, have been claimed by British monarchs to legitimize their rule.

This opens the door for a discussion of false claims to sacred heritage.

3. Royal Blood and Infiltration in the Historical Record

The book Bloodlines of Kings – From Ancient Thrones to Modern Dominion outlines the migration of power through ancient thrones (Sumer, Akkad, Egypt) into the royal houses of medieval Europe.¹

It describes a continuous intermarriage strategy that binds houses together:

  • Merovingian
  • Carolingian
  • Plantagenet
  • Habsburg

and ultimately Windsor.

This genealogical strategy is not accidental.

It is rooted in Genesis 6:4 — the mingling of seeds.

Daniel 2:43 prophesies:

"They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men:

but they shall not cleave one to another."
 

The merging of bloodlines is a tactic of dominion and deception.

Sources such as Burke’s Peerage and Almanach de Gotha confirm the interconnected nature of European royalty, many claiming descent from Charlemagne, David, or other scriptural figures.

These claims, true or not, are prophetic signposts — used to establish spiritual authority for earthly dominion.

4. The House of Windsor and the Preservation of Power

By the 20th century, this royal strategy culminated in the House of Windsor — formerly Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Queen Victoria, through her children, seeded the thrones of Europe.

King Charles III is a direct heir to multiple houses:

Stuart, Hanoverian, and even claims Davidic descent.

Tim Cohen’s The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea explores Charles’s coat of arms in light of Revelation 13:2.²

He identifies symbolic continuity between beast imagery and heraldic symbolism — a:

  • lion
  • leopard
  • bear

in the arms of the:

  • UK
  • Scotland
  • Germany

While interpretations vary, the presence of these emblems cannot be ignored.

5. Summary

This chapter has traced the seed of kings through:

  • Scripture
  • historical record
  • prophetic relevance

Genealogy is not merely fleshly — it is spiritual.

Kings do not only descend from bloodlines but from thrones of intention.

And Scripture warns of those who:

"opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God" (2 Thessalonians 2:4)

In Section III, we examine how the symbols of the Beast appear in the coats of arms and heraldry of modern states.

The:

  • crown
  • lion
  • bear
  • dragon

are not artistic choices — they are prophetic reflections.

This is the rise of the Beast and the Crown.

Section III – The Beast and the Crown

image.png 3.2 MB View full-size Download

1. Beasts in the Vision of Daniel and John

Daniel’s vision in chapter 7 outlines four beasts rising from the sea, each representing an empire.

John’s vision in Revelation 13 combines the characteristics of those beasts into one — a final, composite empire.

This Beast is not simply a government — it is a spiritual empire clothed in worldly power, blaspheming God and warring against the saints (Revelation 13:5–7).

Daniel’s:

  • lion (Babylon)
  • bear (Medo-Persia)
  • leopard (Greece)

reappear in Revelation’s Beast, now possessing all their traits.

The dragon, Satan, gives it power, seat, and authority (Revelation 13:2).

This Beast receives deadly wounds and recovers, leading all the world to wonder after it (Revelation 13:3).

This convergence of symbols is the prophetic blueprint for the final global system:

a revived amalgamation of political dominion, military might, and spiritual deception.

2. The Symbols of Power: Heraldry and Revelation

Heraldry is not accidental; it is spiritual propaganda.

Every:

  • crest
  • motto
  • beast

and banner has intent.

Revelation 13:2 is not fulfilled merely through globalism, but through symbolic confirmation.

Tim Cohen points out that the British Royal Coat of Arms features:

  • A lion (England)
  • A unicorn (Scotland, possibly a counterfeit Christ-type)
  • A leopard, often linked to past Norman and French claims
  • Bears in various commonwealth insignias

All of these appear in the visions of Daniel and Revelation.³

The:

  • lion
  • leopard
  • bear

are not just political — they are deeply prophetic, and their placement in royal arms signals alignment with the Beast system.

The crown above these animals reflects the global dominion of the final empire.

3. The Crown as a Symbol of Earthly Dominion

Crowns in Scripture symbolize rulership and reward.

Christ wears “many crowns” (Revelation 19:12), yet the Beast also possesses crowns — diadems representing false dominion (Revelation 13:1).

The modern obsession with monarchy is more than nostalgia.

It is the longing for dominion, even if counterfeit.

The crown, whether on a monarch or on an emblem, proclaims who rules.

In modern royal arms, the crown is often shown resting atop the lion — a visual echo of Revelation 13.

These symbols have spiritual resonance — they mark a claim to global rulership apart from God.

4. The Dragon Gives Power

Revelation 13:2 says the dragon gave the Beast

“his power, and his seat, and great authority.”

This dragon is plainly identified as Satan (Revelation 12:9).

Historically, royal families have claimed divine right — but the question is: which divinity?

Christ or the serpent?

The Serpent Was Not a Snake: Unveiling the Ancient Creature, the Curse & the Deception of Eve – Library of Rickandria

The:

  • symbols
  • bloodlines
  • structures

of modern monarchy increasingly reflect the counterfeit kingdom foretold in Scripture.

From Babylon to Britain, from Rome to the Rothschilds, the spirit of Antichrist works through thrones, not just governments.

The Antichrist: Exposed by the Word of God – Library of Rickandria

The Beast wears a crown, and the world bows.

5. Summary

This chapter has shown how the Beast of Revelation 13 manifests in the heraldic and symbolic structure of modern royal power — especially within the House of Windsor.

These are not literary metaphors — they are visible signs of spiritual reality.

In Section IV, we explore the Counterfeit Kingdom

a unifying global power system blending:

  • religion
  • economy
  • politics

The Beast is not alone:

there is:

  • a False Prophet
  • a mark
  • a system rising to imitate Christ’s Millennial reign

Section IV – The Counterfeit Kingdom

image.png 2.98 MB View full-size Download


1. Mimicking the Millennium

The coming Kingdom of Christ is marked by:

  • justice
  • peace
  • righteousness (Isaiah 11:1–9) 

The Antichrist system does not merely oppose Christ — it imitates Him.

This is the genius of deception.

The Beast establishes a kingdom on earth that mirrors the promised Messianic reign but twists it into global tyranny.

Revelation 13:11–17 introduces a second beast, the False Prophet, who exercises power on behalf of the first Beast.

He performs miracles, causes fire to fall from heaven, and enforces worship of the Beast.

This religious arm of the final empire is a counterfeit priesthood, pointing not to Christ but to a throne of blasphemy.

2. The Threefold Structure: Religion, Economy, and State

The final world system will unite the three great spheres of human authority:

Religious control — enforced worship (Revelation 13:15)

Economic control — mark of the Beast to buy or sell (Revelation 13:17)

Political control — dominion over “all kindreds, and tongues, and nations” (Revelation 13:7)

This is not conspiracy theory — it is prophecy.

The merging of church and state, banking and worship, crown and commerce, is the Devil’s design to mimic the New Jerusalem.

New Jerusalem vs. The Borg: God’s Unity or Satan’s Assimilation? – Library of Rickandria (AUDIO)

Instead of peace, it brings persecution.

Instead of Christ, it enthrones the Beast.

3. The Image, the Mark, and the Number

The Beast system enforces an image to be worshiped (Revelation 13:14–15).

The word image (Greek: eikōn) denotes an idol, representation, or artificial likeness.

Some scholars speculate this may involve technology, AI, or holography — but the point remains:

it is a false likeness of divine rulership.

THE ORIGINS & DESTINY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Exposing the Hidden Kings of the Digital Age – Library of Rickandria

The mark of the Beast, required for commerce, is described as being in the right hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16). Its number is 666 —

the number:

  • of man
  • of incompletion
  • of rebellion

This mark is a covenantal sign — a perverse imitation of God’s law on the hand and forehead (Deuteronomy 6:8).

4. Globalism and the Spirit of Babel

  • one language
  • one purpose
  • one tower

God judged it and scattered the nations.

Today, the spirit of Babel returns in the form of global governance, through institutions like the UN, WEF, and various religious ecumenical movements.

Tim Cohen and other researchers argue that many of these systems point back to royal influence, particularly through Charles and the British monarchy’s involvement in climate governance, world banking, and ecumenism.⁴

This is not merely political maneuvering — it is the infrastructure of the Beast.

5. Summary

This chapter has revealed how the final empire imitates Christ’s Millennial reign with a counterfeit kingdom —

fusing:

  • politics
  • economy
  • religion

into one system.

The Beast, the False Prophet, the image, the mark — all are satanic imitations of God’s true Kingdom.

In Section V, we behold the return of the True King.

Christ, riding on a white horse, comes to judge and make war.

We will study His reign, the Millennium, and the final deception — the Little Season — before the eternal kingdom is established.

Section V – The True King and the Little Season

image.png 2.21 MB View full-size Download


1. The Rider on the White Horse

When the counterfeit kingdom reaches its peak, the heavens open.

Revelation 19:11 declares:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True… and on his head were many crowns.”

This is not a metaphor — it is the bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The King does not come as a suffering servant but as a conquering warrior.

His name is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13).

He is clothed in vesture dipped in blood, and He strikes the nations with the sword of His mouth (Revelation 19:15).

The Beast and False Prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20).

The royal thrones of the world will not endure His coming.

They will be shattered.

For only One is worthy:

“KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16)

2. The Millennial Reign

Revelation 20 introduces the binding of Satan for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1–3).

Christ reigns with His saints in righteousness.

This is not allegory — it is fulfillment.

Isaiah foresaw this reign:

“With righteousness shall he judge the poor… the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb” (Isaiah 11:4–6)

Those beheaded for the witness of Jesus rule with Him (Revelation 20:4).

Thrones are set, judgment is given, and peace covers the earth.

This is not democracy.

This is the Kingdom of God.

The counterfeit crowns are stripped away.

All false authority collapses.

As The Truth They Hid reveals, the world’s hidden systems — from fake apostolic successions to global Masonic controls — are exposed at His appearing.⁵

3. The Little Season

After the Millennium, Satan is loosed for a “little season” (Revelation 20:3, 7).

Why?

To test the hearts of men.

Though Christ reigned visibly, not all submit inwardly.

Satan deceives the nations once more — Gog and Magog — and gathers them against the camp of the saints.

Fire from heaven destroys them.

This is the final rebellion, not a long war, but a brief uprising.

The book True Apostles: The Rise of the False and the Return of the True explains how apostate religious leaders, having survived the Millennium in name only, join this rebellion.⁶

They are the tares among the wheat, finally uprooted before the Great White Throne.

4. The Great White Throne Judgment

Revelation 20:11 describes a throne from which heaven and earth flee.

The dead are judged according to their works.

Those not written in the Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:12–15).

There is no appeal.

No royal exemption.

All:

  • bloodlines
  • crowns
  • powers

must now answer to the Ancient of Days.

5. The Eternal Kingdom

After this, a new heaven and new earth descend.

The New Jerusalem is revealed (Revelation 21:2).

There is no more death, pain, or night.

God Himself dwells with His people (Revelation 21:3–4).

The Lamb is the light.

The War Against Revelation: Exposing the Lies, Defending the Lamb – Library of Rickandria

The curse is broken.

And His servants shall reign forever and ever (Revelation 22:3–5).

No beast.

No counterfeit.

No rebellion.

Only the true and everlasting kingdom.

Summary

This chapter reveals the glorious return of the King, the reign of righteousness, and the final test of the nations.

The Little Season proves that no man, crown, or system can save — only the Lamb who was slain and now reigns.

Section VI – The Legacy of Deception

image.png 2.4 MB View full-size Download


1. The Beast Lives On

Though cast into the lake of fire, the spirit of the Beast lingers in the hearts of men and systems not yet judged.

After the Little Season and Final Judgment, what remains is a world that has inherited centuries of deception — 

  • crests
  • customs
  • councils

forged in rebellion.

The kingdoms of this world, while judged in spirit, continue their cultural footprint.

Their:

  • architecture
  • symbolism
  • ideology

persist in the post-Millennial global memory.

Daniel spoke of beasts that

“had their dominion taken away:

yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time”
(Daniel 7:12)

Thus, even defeated systems echo on.

2. Institutions of Royal Blasphemy

Modern:

  • academia
  • media
  • politics

still idolize monarchs.

Documentaries glorify bloodlines.

Museums sanctify crowns.

National holidays honor monarchial events.

Yet few question the spiritual roots of these institutions.

The Vatican still wears three crowns.

The British monarchy still swears oaths on a defiled gospel.

Freemasonry still honors Hiram and Solomon, not Jesus Christ.

These institutions cloak themselves in tradition — but their source is the dragon (Revelation 13:2).

3. The Apostolic Fraud

As shown in True Apostles, the false apostolic succession that rose in:

  • Rome
  • Byzantium
  • Canterbury

continues to influence ecumenical efforts worldwide.

Their supposed spiritual authority is built not on apostolic doctrine, but political power and royal favor.⁷

Even Protestant and charismatic movements are entangled with royal protocol and economic incentives.

Kings lay hands on bishops. Priests bless parliaments.

Yet Christ said,

“My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36)

4. The Symbolism of the Enduring Throne

In nearly every capital city stands an obelisk — the phallic symbol of Egypt.

Central banks bear coats of arms.

International summits are conducted beneath crowns or pyramids.

These are not aesthetic — they are prophetic residue.

The harlot rides the Beast (Revelation 17:3), and upon her forehead is written, 

“MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT” (Revelation 17:5)

She is clothed in purple and scarlet — the very colors of royalty and priesthood.

Her cup is filled with abominations — and her lovers are kings.

5. The Call to Come Out

The remnant must obey the call of Revelation 18:4 —

“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.”

We are not to honor false crowns, false prophets, or false unity.

Christ’s people must renounce spiritual compromise — 

  • politically
  • religiously
  • economically

Our allegiance is not to democracy or monarchy, not to tradition or revolution, but to the King who reigns from Zion.

Summary

This chapter uncovers how the deception continues even after the defeat of the Beast —

embedded in the:

  • rituals
  • symbols
  • ideologies

of our world.

The legacy of deception is not only historic — it is contemporary.

1. The Bride Hath Made Herself Ready

Revelation 19:7 declares,

“The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb: Are You the Ready Bride? – Library of Rickandria

This is not merely an event — it is the culmination of redemption.

The true Church, purified by tribulation and persecution, stands clothed in fine linen —

“the righteousness of saints.”

The false crowns are burned.

The counterfeit kings are judged.

And the Lamb, once rejected and crucified, now receives His reward — a spotless Bride.

2. The New Heaven and Earth

John saw a

“new heaven and a new earth:

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away”
(Revelation 21:1)

The New Jerusalem, the city of God, descends from heaven as a bride adorned for her husband.

New Jerusalem vs. The Borg: God’s Unity or Satan’s Assimilation? – Library of Rickandria (AUDIO)

This city is not built by hands.

It is not Rome, London, or Washington.

It is

“the tabernacle of God… with men” (Revelation 21:3)

No temple, for the Lamb is the light.

The War Against Revelation: Exposing the Lies, Defending the Lamb – Library of Rickandria

No sun, for God gives light.

No tears, for

“the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4)

3. The Throne of God and the Lamb

At the center of this kingdom is a throne — not of David, Solomon, or Windsor — but of God and the Lamb (Revelation 22:1).

The river of life flows from it.

The tree of life bears fruit on both sides.

The curse is gone.

“And his servants shall serve him:

and they shall see his face”
(Revelation 22:3–4)

This is the restoration of Eden — not in shadow, but in substance.

The Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world, now reigns visibly and eternally.

4. The Final Word of Prophecy

The book closes with a warning and a promise.

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.

Amen.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus”
(Revelation 22:20)

The Spirit and the Bride say,

“Come.”

The invitation is open — but the time is short.

Let no man add to or take from the words of this prophecy.

Kings have reigned.

Beasts have risen.

Thrones have fallen.

But the Lamb remains.

5. Final Summary

This manuscript has traced the rise of royal power, the counterfeit dominion of the Beast, and the prophetic fulfillment of all things in Christ Jesus.

Earthly crowns cannot save.

Only the Lamb’s crown is eternal.

The King is coming.

His kingdom is unshakable.

And His Bride must be ready.

Selah.

Epilogue – A Word to the Remnant

image.png 2.84 MB View full-size Download


To the reader — you are not holding fiction, but prophecy.

These truths are not academic.

They are eternal.

You have seen:

  • the rise of kings
  • the corruption of thrones
  • the mystery of iniquity

and the fall of all that exalts itself above God.

You have beheld the counterfeit kingdom — and the eternal Kingdom of Christ.

This is the hour of decision.

Will you serve the Beast or the Lamb?

Will you honor false crowns or cast them down before the throne?

Will you follow the tradition of men or the Word of the Living God?

The Spirit and the Bride still cry, 

“Come.”

The bloodline of the redeemed is not traced through flesh, but through the Cross.

The royal priesthood is not inherited by genes, but by grace.

And the crown of life awaits those who overcome.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

Until He comes, be faithful.

For the Lamb reigns.
