This is the Apostle John's vision as written in Revelation 13. We need to identify the beast, the 7 heads, 10 horns and the names of blasphemy.
The beast is the Greek word therion. It is a neuter noun meaning wild beast. The feminine noun is thera meaning the same thing. This beast is also venomous.
This sea I believe is the Mediterranean Sea. This beast ascends up out of this area. Heads is a feminine noun. This word is used as in anything supreme. The loss of a head is in reference to capital punishment. Horn is a neuter noun meaning assemblies. There are 7 assemblies of Yahusha. This is seen in Revelation 5:6. These 10 horns are 10 assemblies, 10 nations around the Mediterranean Sea. Three have no Head of State. The Egyptian crown or headband is that of a snake. These crowns are 10 demons over the 10 states. Blasphemy is a feminine noun. It's from the adjective meaning slanderous. Examples are, Devil worship, damaging the church and resisting the Holy Spirit. This beast from the Sea is a revival of the Roman Empire. The beast's Capital I believe will be in the Middle East, not Rome.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
The leopard's body, the bear's feet, the lion's mouth and dragon's power is a composite of past satanic kingdoms. It's power comes from Satan.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Ten nations, one is hated. It's not to hard to guess what nation it is. It's Israel. After this war and Israel's defeat, Israel will be recreated by the power of Satan. Just because Satan destroyed Israel in secret, and Satan revived Israel by the Beast, Israel will worship, work with the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
It will appear that Israel's place in the world is secure. They will settle in, thinking all is well forever.
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Forty two months is speaking of Antichrist and the last half of the Tribulation. This time period begins with the Trumpet Judgements and ends with Armageddon.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
This is when Israel will wake up. Their Messiah is revealed by him blaspheming Yahuah Elohim. This is when whoever is in Judea should run away, not going back for anything.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
I believe this is seal five in Revelation 6. Seal 6 has similar things to the death of Yahusha and His Resurrection. Seal 7 the Saints are seen in Heaven.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
This verse is written in black and white. Those on earth will worship the beast. On the other hand, those who don't worship the beast, they must not be on earth then.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
If you didn't catch what is written here, you are spiritually unable to hear. Pray for spiritual hearing and healing.
10 He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
There will be spiritual leadership that will lead people into capacity. There will be spiritual leadership that will pick up arms. This leadership will face the same thing they lead others into.
