...One way to interpret this is that the ten divisions of the world are the ten horns and the ten divisions of religions are the ten crowns. The churches and temples are like crowns upon the land.

And now a quote from The Immortal (page 234): "So did Jesus or Joshua as you call him live the 1000 lives?" "At least that many," said John. "I indicated this in my Book of Revelations Chapter 19 verse 12. I stated that on the head of Christ were many crowns. Tell me: how do you suppose Christ received many crowns when he is only recorded as living to the age of 33?" "Could the many crowns have something to do with many lifetimes?" I asked. "Correct," he said. "Each crown here represents a life where a great victory was achieved..."

J.J.'s revelation on the symbolic meaning of the ten crowns on the beast in Chapter 13 verse 1 from the Book of Revelations does not seem to mesh with Chapter 19 verse 12, which is revealed in The Immortal, on page 234.

Excellent question.

A crown represents an achievement or victory. The crowns on the head of Jesus represents past lives where there was great achievement.

However in the eyes of those who are deceived by the beast the churches themselves are more important than the teachings of the great men who founded them and represent crowns of achievement and glory to them. In addition remember that there are several levels of interpretation to each symbol in this book.
