Revelation 13:3 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

wounded to death

Fragments of the ancient Roman empire have never ceased to exist as separate kingdoms. It was the imperial form of government which ceased; the one head wounded to death. What we have prophetically in (Revelation 13:3) is the restoration of the imperial form as such, though over a federated empire of ten kingdoms; the "head" is "healed," that is, Restored; there is an emperor again -- the Beast.
