Rev 17: 11 Exposited

a) We are told that the scarlet colored beast which was ( acting as an active philosophy in the past in Egypt. Ex 5: 12), and is not (that is, was not existing as an influential political power in the time of John- pagan Rome was, Rev 1: 9) is the eight empire and come out of (ek) the seven empires, and goes into destruction.

I. It is apostate atheistical philosophy from all the previous powers before it that is the foundational and ideological make up that creates the eight world power, for he is full of names of all the blasphemy of the past, from the tower of Babel, Egypt, down to the United States, the seventh world power. Thus he is ek, out of the seven. Rev 17: 3

II. The fact of a one world government that is atheistical, meaning, a government that does not recognize God, and in which He is given no role or honour, such a concept existed in ancient times from the tower of Babel, down to the seventh world empire, the United States is clearly seen. Here is evidence of its existence at the Tower of Babel. 

“Here they decided to build a city, and in it a tower of such stupendous height as should render it the wonder of the world. These enterprises were designed to prevent the people from scattering abroad in colonies. God had directed men to disperse throughout the earth, to replenish and subdue it; but these Babel-builders determined to keep their community united in one body, and to found a monarchy that should eventually embrace the whole earth. Thus their city would become the metropolis of a universal empire; its glory would command the admiration and homage of the world, and render the founders illustrious. The magnificent tower, reaching to the heavens, was intended to stand as a monument of the power and wisdom of its builders, perpetuating their fame to the latest generations. The dwellers on the plains of Shinar disbelieved God’s covenant that he would not again bring a flood upon the earth. Many of them denied the existence of God, and attributed the flood to the operation of natural causes”. Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 78 (Paperback Edition)
