The Book of Revelation deals with the events that precede and prepare the way for the coming of Jesus Christ. And, the phrase "the seven heads and ten horns" is found in Revelation 12, 13, and 17, which is interpreted as seven mountains or world empires that come before the kingdom or world empire of Jesus Christ. These empires were or will be Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, and Greece. These five had already fallen in the days of the apostle John. The one that was in John's day was the Roman Empire, the distant one. The democratic, revived Roman Empire is ten nations with the nation of the Antichrist, which is still future, and the Antichrist and these ten horns or kings reign together for just a very short time. This one is the seventh world empire, and the kingdom of the Beast or Antichrist is the eighth one, meaning his kingdom is greater than all of the others one, will resist and fight against Jesus Christ at his coming. The Dragon has these seven heads and ten horns or is or will be in control of these governments until the coming of Jesus Christ.
