Of all the things that the book of Revelation tells us to “behold,” this may be the strangest, as we are to behold our enemy. He is depicted as having “seven heads” (vast knowledge), “ten horns” (extreme power), and “seven crowns” (powerful ruler), and Revelation 12:9 makes it clear that this is our enemy. Revelation 12:9 also gives us four descriptions of our enemy that will serve as our outline.
