More of these signs are here now. The organization from which the Antichrist will rise is the "revived Roman empire". The Apostle John describes that empire in the verses below:

"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17:3-5)

One of the signs in the verses above also describes the "Woman Riding The Beast". Here are photographs of that sign, and others.

An image which the European Union has chosen as one of it's symbols is the "Woman Riding The Beast". In 1984, the European Parliament issued a centenary stamp which contains that image.

The image of the "Woman Riding The Beast" also appears on a huge painting in the European Parliament building, and is a huge sculpture outside the European Union Council of Ministers Office, both located in Brussels, Belgium.

Many of the European Union's coinage bear the image of the "Woman Riding The Beast", such as the "2 Euro" and the "5 Euro" (a collectable coin) shown above. The center of the coins where the image appears is cast in gold. A possible reference to the "golden calf/false idol" constructed by Aaron in Exodus 32.

No, not really. That's Europa and the bull. See also The rape of Europa.

I always knew we shouldn't trust those diabolical Canadians...

Isn't that Europa riding Zeus?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

If I remember my Greek mythology the "woman on the Beast" is Europa. It has been a long time since I have read those charming myths. I think she spurned one of the Gods he changed into a Bull and crossed the BOS-phorous with Europa on his back. Be that as it may globalism is setting the stage for the coming of the Beast.

I know the concerns for the women riding the beast but I was wondering what the womens head and word beatrix means on the other side of the coin? I was watching Dr. Kent Hovind and noticed on the stamp that there was what looked like underneath the women was a dead fish. What is this suppose to symbolize? In early biblical times the fish was used to identify other Christians. Is it a symbol of persecution of Christian?
