4.3.2.1 - #1 - Whole World
The whole world consists of the sea which the four beasts rise out of [#2-#8] (Dan. [[7:3|bible.27.7.3]]) and the earth or land from which the four kings [#3-#8] (Dan. [[7:17|bible.27.7.17]]) and the False Prophet [#3-#18](Rev. [[13:11|bible.87.13.11]]+) arise. The Harlot "who sits on many waters" (Rev. [[17:17|bible.87.17.17]]+) is supported, in some sense, by the "peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues" upon which she sits [#2-#21] (Rev. [[17:15|bible.87.17.15]]+).1

The False Prophet causes the whole world to make an image of the beast [#1-#19] (Rev. [[13:14|bible.87.13.14]]+). The terrible beast is said to devour the whole earth [#12-#1] (Dan. [[7:23|bible.27.7.23]]) and the beast is given authority over every tribe, tongue, and nation [#16-#1] (Rev. [[13:7|bible.87.13.7]]+).

See Symbols of Kingdoms.

Notes

1 We have denoted this relationship as between the sea and the Harlot, but that which she sits upon is called "many waters" (Rev. [[17:1|bible.87.17.1]]+, [[15|bible.87.17.15]]+) rather than "sea." Perhaps a subset of the sea is meant.
