The Bible speaks of “Waters,” as being symbolic of people. You can read a passage that speaks of one rising out of the sea. Meaning one emerging from the masses of people. When the waters are stirred up, there can come forth one who is moved on the winds of great violence. ( Hear me, strife stirs up the waters, thus giving the enemy an opportunity to cause one to arise with darkness in his or her eyes.) But when prayer goeth forth from a heart, or hearts that have purified themselves in the love of God, then God is able, let me say that again, then God is able, to calm the swirling waters and hold His hand over the land, that would have experienced Great atrocities, would it not have been for these, who enforced the covenant of love while staying on their knees.
Rev 13:1
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name…….
Daniel 7:2-8
2Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking [c]pompous words.
