THE BEAST THAT WAS, AND IS NOT, AND YET IS: Thesis by Thomas L Smith
THE BEAST THAT WAS, AND IS NOT, AND YET IS
Israel’s Identity Through Death, Captivity & Resurrection
For more than two thousand years, the story of Israel’s fall, dispersion, and future restoration has been read in fragments, separated into disconnected books, misinterpreted through foreign traditions, or buried beneath political histories that obscure the covenant foundation beneath them.
Most readers approach Revelation, Daniel, or the Prophets as if these writings stand apart from the Torah, as though the last book of Scripture speaks a language unrelated to the first. But Scripture does not begin in Revelation. Its final visions only make sense when one understands its beginning. The works that preceded this volume-Seven Times for Your Sins, 111 Years of Captivity & the 111th Jubilee, The Covenant, the Curses, and the Dispersed Children of Israel, The Truth Seekers vs. the Architects of False Histories, and Understanding CRT Through History: Insights into Project 2025, were written to restore that foundation.
Each book revealed a different side of the same hidden story: the covenant people who fell, the nations that rose in their captivity, the rewriting of their identity, and the prophetic mathematics that determine their resurrection. These works demonstrated three essential truths: Israel’s Judgment Was Structured, Measured, and Mathematical Leviticus 26 describes four escalating cycles of judgment, each declaring that Israel would be punished “seven times for your sins.” The Book of Judges records 111 years of actual captivity, an initial installment of a divine pattern.
When multiplied by seven, this produces a 777-year penalty, leaving 666 years unserved.
The Book of Revelation never asks the reader to fear this number. It simply says: “It is the number of a man.” (Rev. 13:18) That man is Israel, the covenant “firstborn son” (Exod. 4:22) fallen under a judgment cycle not yet complete. The historical research across your earlier works showed that the final 666 years began with the Papal Bulls of the 1450s and culminated inside the 111th Jubilee cycle, where Scripture places Israel’s restoration and the fall of Babylon’s global system. The Nations Built Their Wealth on Israel’s Dispersion The companion works revealed that the scattering of Israel was not merely geographic, it became the economic engine that transformed the modern world. Nations grew powerful through:
● perpetual servitude.
● free labor systems.
● racial constructs designed to erase identity.
● legal frameworks that justified captivity.
● educational narratives that concealed origins.
● global trade built upon the descendants of Jacob.
This is the scarlet woman of Revelation 17–18—a global economy intoxicated with the abundance gained from Israel’s captivity, drunk with the blood of saints, riding upon the back of a fallen people. Revelation’s imagery is not metaphorical fantasy. It is a covenant reality expressed in prophetic symbols.
The Identity of Israel Has Been Hidden, But Not Lost The earlier volumes documented how identity was systematically stripped:
● records destroyed.
● genealogies erased.
● tribes renamed.
● origins obscured.
● history rewritten.
● culture reshaped.
● nations conspired to “cut them off from being a nation.”
(Ps. 83:4) The result was a people who fulfilled Moses’ warnings: “You shall become a proverb and a byword.” (Deut. 28:37) “Among these nations you shall find no ease.” (Deut. 28:65) Israel became the nation that “was” and “is not” alive, yet dead to its own identity, hidden in plain sight, existing within the nations while forgotten by them. And yet Scripture promised that Israel would not remain in this state forever: “In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ there it shall be said, ‘You are sons of the living Elohim.’” (Hos. 1:10) This is the resurrection that Revelation anticipates. This is the moment the Prophets foresaw. This is the cycle the Jubilees measure.
What This Blog Is About “The Beast That Was, and Is Not, and Yet Is” brings the entire story together. It is not an attempt to decode symbolic monsters or predict political headlines. It is an examination of Israel’s identity through the lens of covenant prophecy:
● The beast that “was” — Israel in its glory as a kingdom.
● The beast that “is not” — Israel in identity death, scattered into all nations.
● The beast that “yet is” — Israel surviving within captivity, living while forgotten.
● The beast ascending — Israel restored at the conclusion of the 666-year judgment.
This is the narrative the Torah initiated. This is the pattern the Prophets repeated. This is the timeline the Jubilees measure. This is the vision Revelation completes. Everything written in my earlier volumes was preparation for this moment. The covenant had a beginning. The captivity had a structure. The curse had a duration. The nations had a role. The resurrection has an appointed year. And now, the story can be told in its fullness. This Blog is not written to promote fear. It is written to bring clarity. It does not attempt to guess at symbols, it demonstrates the covenant architecture behind them. It does not separate Revelation from Moses or Daniel, it shows that the last prophecy is simply the final echo of the first.
It does not elevate myth, it restores identity, history, and purpose to a scattered people nearing the end of their appointed judgment. The beast that was, and is not, and yet is… is a nation that once stood before its Maker, died in covenant exile, was hidden inside the world’s greatest empire, and is now rising again as the clock of captivity nears its final Jubilee. This book is the bridge between history and prophecy, between identity and destiny, between the curse and the restoration. It is the missing chapter of the covenant story, and its fulfillment draws near.
Israel’s Judgment Was Structured, Measured, and Mathematical. The Nations Built Their Wealth on Israel’s Dispersion The Identity of Israel Has Been Hidden, But Not Lost. When John recorded the vision of Revelation, he described a creature that baffled centuries of interpreters: “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit… The beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” (Revelation 17:8) Some have insisted this beast represents Rome. Others claim it is a future dictator. Still others dismiss the imagery altogether. But the Scriptures themselves tell the reader exactly who this “beast” is, if the story of Israel’s covenant is allowed to speak for itself.
The vision cannot be understood through Church tradition. It must be read through the Law, the Prophets, and the covenant cycles that shaped Israel’s rise, fall, and restoration. What you will see in this Blog is this: The beast is Israel under judgment. Israel in identity death. Israel resurrected at the end of the age. This is not an interpretation, it is the pattern embedded in the Torah, traced through the Judges, confirmed by the Prophets, measured by Jubilee mathematics, and culminated in Revelation. The Beast “Was”: Israel in Covenant Glory Before Israel ever fell into judgment, Scripture identifies them as the son of God:
● “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” (Exod. 4:22)
● “Out of Egypt I called my son.” (Hos. 11:1) Israel was not merely a nation; they were the covenant son, set apart to represent YAH in the world. Moses describes their early identity in royal terms:
● a kingdom of priests (Exod. 19:6)
● a holy nation (Exod. 19:5–6)
● the head and not the tail (Deut. 28:13) This was Israel at their height. This was the beast that was—a functioning kingdom, visible, identifiable, commissioned. But the covenant warned that if Israel rejected YAH, their identity would be torn apart.
The Beast “Is Not”: Israel Becoming a Beast Through Covenant Violation Leviticus 26 gives the framework: “If you walk contrary to Me… I will punish you seven times for your sins.” (Lev. 26:18, 21, 24, 28)
And Deuteronomy 28 describes the consequences:
● scattered into every nation (v. 64)
● identity stripped (v. 37)
● captivity with no deliverer (v. 29)
● losing name, land, heritage, and records (v. 30–32)
● becoming a byword among the nations (v. 37) In this covenant death, Israel became unrecognizable. The Prophets repeatedly describe Israel’s transformation into something less than human:
● “Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone.” (Hos. 4:17)
● “They have corrupted themselves.” (Deut. 32:5)
● “They have become like the nations.” (Hos. 7:8) The clearest picture is in Daniel 4: Nebuchadnezzar, representing Gentile rule, was turned into a beast as judgment for pride. This story serves as a mirror: When Israel rejects their King, they become like the nations they imitate, a beast-like kingdom. In the era of the Judges, Israel repeatedly descended into captivity, totaling 111 years of servitude. This 111-year template becomes the prophetic pattern for all future judgments.
But they never fully served the penalty. Only 111 years of the 777 prophesied years were completed. This left 666 years unserved. That number will soon matter. The Seven-Times Calculation: From 111 to 777 to 666 after subtracting the original 111 year served, Leviticus 26 repeats the phrase four separate times: “seven times for your sins.” I demonstrated mathematically that:
● Israel served 111 years in Judges
● 111 × 7 = 777 total years
● 777 − 111 = 666 years remaining Thus, 666 is not mystical. Nor is it the number of “Satan.” Scripture says explicitly: “It is the number of a man.” (Revelation 13:18) I believe that Israel is that man:
● “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” (Exod. 4:22)
● “He found him… He kept him as the apple of His eye.” (Deut. 32:10)
● “But they… rebelled.” (Deut. 32:15) When Israel fell, they entered the identity-death phase of the covenant. A dead man becomes unrecognizable. A dead nation becomes a beast. A beast becomes a platform. The Beast “Yet Is”:
Israel Living While Dead Israel “is not” meaning:
● no nation
● no land
● no identity
● no royal priesthood
● no covenant status
● no visible kingdom Yet Israel still exists, alive within the nations. This is exactly what Revelation describes: “The beast… is not, and yet is.” (Revelation 17:8)
Israel was:
● scattered
● renamed
● misclassified
● enslaved
● assimilated
● stripped of history
Yet they survived as a living people under covenant penalty. This identity, death phase is the “bottomless pit” the beast ascends from, complete loss of self yet preserved for restoration. The 666 Years of unfinished captivity Began on June 18th, 1452 in the Global Enslavement Era. The final seven-times judgment began when the Papal Bulls of the mid-1400s declared certain peoples could be enslaved perpetually. (The Psalm's 83 Coalition)
My investigation shows:
● 1452 AD: Dum Diversas
● 666 years added = 2118 AD
● Israel’s potential restoration could land inside the 111th Jubilee Cycle
This connects to:
● Leviticus 26
● Revelation 13 and 17
● the Judges-era pattern
● the Jubilee architecture
● the captivity of the Trans-Atlantic world
● the scattering into all nations
● the rise of global wealth on free labor
● The “man whose number is 666”
The seven-headed beast in Revelation is the global system built atop Israel’s captivity. But the beast beneath the system, the one who was, is not, and yet is, is Israel.
The Scarlet Woman and the Beast
Global Wealth Riding on Israel Revelation 17 clarifies the relationship
● the woman (global economic power)
● sits upon the beast (the captive people)
● she rides the platform created by their labor
● she becomes drunk with the blood of the saints
● she enriches the merchants of the earth This matches Deuteronomy 28: “You shall serve your enemies… they shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to them.” (Deut. 28:48, 44) And Isaiah 42: “Who is blind but My servant? … These are a people robbed and spoiled.” (Isaiah 42:19–22) And Lamentations: “Our skin was black like an oven because of the burning famine.” (Lam. 5:10) And “They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation.’” (Psalms 83:4) The woman rides on Israel’s identity & death. The world becomes wealthy on the backs of a covenant people. This is the hidden engine of global economics.
The Resurrection: The Beast Ascends Revelation says
● the beast “ascends”
● the world “marvels”
● the woman is destroyed
● the merchants weep
● Babylon falls in “one hour” This corresponds exactly to Deuteronomy 30: “When these things come upon you… and you return… then YAH your Elohim will turn your captivity.” Daniel 7 also speaks of the saints (Israel) regaining the kingdom after the beasts (Gentile empires) fall.
Isaiah 60 covers the moment when Israel rises
● nations come to their light
● kings to the brightness of their rising
● wealth is transferred
● Zion is restored
● the former oppressors bow down And Hosea 6 tells the timeline: “After two days He will revive us; in the third day He will raise us up.” Two days = 2,000 years. The SJF timeline places Israel entering the third day In the Spring of 2030 AD/5450 AM. The resurrection of the beast is the resurrection of Israel. What the Churches Miss, and Why this work is Necessary and why Christendom rarely touches this interpretation because:
● It requires admitting who Israel truly is
● It unmasks global economic systems
● it identifies Babylon as a free-labor empire
● It reveals prophetic timing
● It explains why Revelation is a covenant book
● It exposes the relationship between Deut. 28 and world history
● It connects Jubilee mathematics to end-time restoration.
My works, Seven Times for Your Sins, 111 Years of Captivity, The Covenant and the Curses, Understanding CRT Through History, and The Truth Seekers vs. the Architects of False Histories, fills the gap. I have reconstructed the timeline, the mathematics, the identity, and the prophetic architecture necessary to understand the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. The beast is not a future dictator. Nor is it an empire of the distant past.
It is the covenant nation that
● was a kingdom
● is not visible today
● yet is preserved for restoration
● and will soon “ascend” when the 666 years conclude, when Israel rises, Babylon collapses. When the seven-times judgment ends, the system built on their captivity will fall in “one hour.” When the beast ascends, the world will marvel, not at a tyrant, but at a people restored. This is the story Revelation tells. This is the cycle Moses warned about. This is the pattern Judges illustrated. This is the secret encoded in 777 → 666. This is the countdown measured in Jubilees. This is the resurrection of the covenant nation. The beast that was… and is not… and yet is… is Israel. And their Jubilee resurrection draws near.
The Scarlet Woman: The Global Free-Labor System Foretold in Revelation 17–18. The Book of Revelation reveals a mysterious figure, a scarlet-clad woman, adorned in purple and gold, sitting atop a seven-headed beast. For centuries, theologians have guessed at her identity, often severing her from Israel’s covenant story and from the global systems built on oppression. But when Revelation is read through the lens of Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28–30, the 111 years of captivity in Judges, and the 777 → 666 cycle revealed in Scripture, the identity of this woman becomes unmistakably clear.
She is not merely a symbolic harlot. She is a global economic system, intoxicated by power and wealth, built on the backs of the covenant people during their final “seven times” judgment. “The merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her luxury.” (Revelation 18:3) My earlier analysis demonstrated that Israel still owed 666 years of judgment after the 111 years recorded in Judges.
This unserved penalty began with the Papal Bull Dum Diversas on June 18th. 1452 and extends to 2118 AD, precisely located within the 111th Jubilee cycle according to the SJF & DCM 3rd method, an alignment no human hand could engineer. Situated in the 5th year of the 5th week, of the 111th Jubilee cycle.
Revelation 17–18 describes a system that
● Enriches the nations
● Traffics in both goods and souls of men
● Rides upon a beast-like figure
● Is covered in scarlet, luxury, and deceit
● And is drunk with the blood of the saints and the witnesses of YAH (Rev. 17:6)
The text identifies the nations as becoming wealthy from her exploitation, echoing my findings that the Psalms 83 coalition weaponized Israel’s covenant curses during the seven-times judgment. “They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation.”
(Psalms 83:4) This world-spanning economic regime relied on a free-labor foundation, the transatlantic slave trade and its centuries of aftermath.
In 111 Years of Captivity & The 111th Jubilee, I show that:
● Israel was scattered into all nations (Deut. 28:64)
● Stripped of identity (Deut. 28:37)
● Enslaved with no means of escape (Deut. 28:29)
●And became the hidden engine of global wealth. Revelation depicts this reality with chilling precision.
The woman sits upon many waters (Revelation 17:1), interpreted as “peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues” (17:15). She rides a beast, meaning she uses the beast as her platform. In my prophetic analysis, this beast represents the fallen House of Israel, reduced to a
“man-beast” with 666 years owed of covenant violation. Thus, Israel in judgment becomes the base of global wealth. The nations ride upon the shoulders of the oppressed. The scarlet woman is the global free-labor empire built upon them. Her fall comes suddenly, within a Jubilee window: “In one hour her judgment comes.” (Rev. 18:10) When Israel’s 666-year penalty ends, the platform supporting the woman collapses, causing the global merchants to weep as their wealth disappears. Revelation’s imagery is not the story of an abstract apocalypse.
It is the final chapter of the covenant story, written by Moses in Leviticus 26, traced in Judges, echoed in the Prophets, and completed at the end of Israel’s “seven times” judgment. Understanding the Book of Revelation requires a grasp of Israel’s covenant structure. The seven-headed beast, the global merchants, the scarlet woman, and the man whose number is 666, all descend from the warning Moses issued in Leviticus 26. Revelation is not a departure from Torah; it is the final fulfillment of its covenant terms. This prophetic map reveals a single, unified story stretching from the era of the Judges to the end of the age.
The Judges Era: Israel’s First Captivity Cycle (111 Years) My research in Seven Times for Your Sins demonstrates that Israel endured:
● 8
● 18
● 20
● 7
● 18
● 40 years of captivity, totaling 111 years.
This period forms the template for how Israel’s future judgments unfold. Each captivity in Judges followed the same pattern:
● Israel sinned
● YAH removed His protection
● Foreign nations oppressed them
● Israel cried out
●A deliverer arose This cycle becomes the key to understanding Revelation: Israel’s fall and restoration always hinges on covenant obedience. Leviticus 26: The Seven-Times Judgment (777 → 666) Four separate times, YAH says He will punish Israel: “seven times for your sins.” (Lev. 26:18, 21, 24, 28) My research shows this startling mathematical completion.
● 111 × 7 = 777 total years
● 777 − 111 already served = 666 years unserved Thus, 666 becomes: The measured covenant penalty is still owed by Israel. This is why Revelation says: “It is the number of a man.” (Revelation 13:18) Israel is the man (Exod. 4:22; Hos. 11:1). When Israel rejects YAH, and becomes a beast (Dan. 4; Hos. 4:17). Thus the beast is Israel fallen. The man is Israel under judgment. The number is the remainder of the seven-times curse: 666. Dum Diversas (June 18th,1452): The Final Captivity Begins. My PDF connects the beginning of Israel’s final “seven times” captivity to:
● Papal Bull Dum Diversas, 1452
● authorizing perpetual enslavement
● initiating global free-labor wealth From 1452 AD, adding Israel’s 666 unserved years brings us to: 2118 AD — the 111th Jubilee cycle This is the same Jubilee cycle I highlighted in “Seven Times For Your Sins” as the appointed time when: “Israel is just one Jubilee and forty-seven years away from the completion of 666 years of captivity.” The alignment is mathematically perfect. The Seven Heads: Continental Powers Over a Fallen Israel Once scattered, Israel became:
● a proverb
● a byword
● a captive
● a beast-like man (Deut. 28:37)
● a foundation upon which nations built wealth (Deut. 28:29–33) Revelation’s seven heads represent global dominion, a system stretching over all seven continents. In this interpretation: The scarlet woman represents the global economic system built upon Israel’s captivity. The seven heads are the seven continents enriched by free labor. The beast beneath her is the fallen House of Israel.
This is the only reading consistent with
● Psalms 83’s conspiracy
● Leviticus 26’s covenant structure
● Judges’ captivity cycles
● the 666 years of servitude
● the scattering into all nations
● the merchants growing rich through forced labor (Rev. 18:3) This model does not contradict Revelation, it explains it. The End Point: Jubilee 111 & the Fall of Babylon When the 666 years conclude in 2118 AD:
● the covenant penalty ends
● Israel awakens (Deut. 30:1–6)
● the beast rises from its wounded state
● the systems built upon their oppression collapse Revelation 18 describes the end: “In one hour such great riches is come to nothing.” (Rev. 18:17)
The merchants stand afar off and weep. The woman is dethroned. The global free-labor empire falls. The platform carrying her collapses. The beast (Israel restored) shakes her off. This moment aligns precisely with the SJF & DCM Jubilee structure I was blessed to see. Israel’s restoration occurs inside the 111th Jubilee cycle, the numerical mirror of the 111 years of captivity.
Prophecy speaks in cycles, and the cycle is closing. This understanding was born from the union of Leviticus 26, the Judges-era model, the Jubilee cycles, the 666-year prophetic countdown, and the global economics of Revelation, reveals something the Churches have long avoided or did not understand. Revelation is not about a future microchip. It is the story of Israel’s judgment, the world’s wealth built upon their bondage, and their Jubilee restoration at the end of the age. When Israel rises, Babylon falls.

Revelation, Leviticus 26, Deut. 28, and the SJF & DCM Jubilee timeline align perfectly. The collapse of the Beast empire occurs when Israel is restored and the Jubilee clock is unlocked. THE BEAST THAT WAS, AND IS NOT, AND YET IS Israel’s Identity Through Death, Captivity & Resurrection.
When John recorded the vision of Revelation, he described a creature that baffled centuries of interpreters. “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit… The beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” (Revelation 17:8) Some have insisted this beast represents Rome. Others claim it is a future dictator. Still others dismiss the imagery altogether.
But the Scriptures themselves tell's the reader exactly who this “beast” is, if the story of Israel’s covenant is allowed to speak for itself. The vision cannot be understood through Church tradition. It must be read through the Law, the Prophets, and the covenant cycles that shaped Israel’s rise, fall, and restoration. The beast is Israel under judgment. Israel in identity death. Israel resurrected at the end of the age.
