"They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction."
"The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads"
"There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns."
"The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages"
Roy expos parfera l'hecatombe,
Apres auoir trouu son origine:
Torrent ouurir de marbre & plomb la tombe,
D'vn grand Romain d'enseigne Medusine.
The King exposed will complete the slaughter,
After having discovered his origin:
Torrent to open the tomb of marble and lead,
Of a great Roman with "Medusine" sign.
Au fondement de la nouuelle secte,
Seront les os du grand Romain trouuez,
Sepulchre en marbre apparoistra couuerte,
Terre trembler en Auril, mal enfoetz.
At the foundation of the new sect,
The bones of the great Roman will be found,
A sepulchre covered by marble will appear,
Earth to quake in April poorly buried.
"Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."
"One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed"
"Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666."
"Fire, famine, pestilence, death—the bell echoes the righteous who approaches the world, even more so the world does not hear or see. Comes the darkness of the dragon that seemed asleep. Comes the terror of the bear that pretended love and brotherhood. Comes humble Democrat that never was, and comes with it poverty without shelter, and with all the explosions and disintegration. Comes the dark and then light (in) the South! And the cross!"
"What? Divergences! The new Pope will soon be arduous infighting. Two different lights. Two truths, two problems. Advance and Confucianism, it will emerge the unexpected."

You have to look at the Bible in perspective here.
God made very clear the things he wanted people to know and understand, he doesn't put riddles in there that people need to figure out.
Revelations is probably more symbolic of a larger point rather than some hidden message.
You also need to consider that if God did want to put a riddle in there that its highly unlikely that anyone would ever figure it out.
I don't imagine God is sitting up there in Heaven going, "Damn...now how did they figure that out? I thought I did such a good job with that one."
Its interesting though.

Ask yourself why God would hide the meaning of revelations in a riddle and not just come out and say it?
What purpose would that possibly serve for him?

Really??? So are you saying that Evil is Dumb??
According to Dark Helmet in Spaceballs however, it is actually "Good who is Dumb!"
But seriously folks. As if someone of Evil character automatically makes them too unintelligent to figure out riddles that a person of Good character is able to solve. Really???

Is it obvious and easy to understand if you don't seek knowledge of the things of the creator?
No.

Exactly.
Maybe God made Revelations so confusing so that he could separate the people who actually get the message as opposed to those who focus on trying to figure it out.
There is no special message hidden in Revelations and its a distraction that non-believers fall for while searching for understanding.
A true Christian simply understands that Revelations is not some riddle to be undone but God saying that the end times will not be very pretty.
If your distracted looking for hidden messages you are not following Gods Word.
