Most of us who study Revelation extensively have wrestled with the identity of the seven heads on the dragon of Revelation 12, the composite beast of Revelation 13, and the scarlet beast of Revelation 17. We notice that in chapter 12, the seven heads have crowns. In chapter 13, the crowns are on the ten horns rather than the seven heads. In chapter 17, there are no crowns. It has been thought that when the dragon appeared in chapter twelve, the crowns on the heads indicate that the events took place during the dominion of the seven powers. By the same token, the crowns on the heads in chapter 13 indicate that the events described take place during the period signified by the 10 horns. If this pattern holds true, then the lack of crowns in chapter 17, places the events at the end of the millennium, just as I have written in my book, Revelation Decoded.
