Antichrist & False Prophet

 

Antichrist & False Prophet Study of Revelation, continued. REVELATION 13.1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. 13.2 The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 13.3 One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled at the beast. -WEB Bible.  REVELATION 13.11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. 13.12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. -WEB Bible.  The dragon, who is called Satan, calls for two of his cronies to come help him. The one who comes from the sea is commonly known as the Antichrist. The one who rises from the land is known as the False Prophet.  These two entities are portrayed as beasts or monsters, which in fact they are. They are evil to the core. The heads and the horns on the beasts represent human rulers who align themselves with the Antichrist and give him backing. Satan will give all his power to the two beasts. Never before has there been such a mighty collaboration been demonic powers and mankind. Together, they will forcibly establish a new world order, and destroy all opposition to it.  For more information about the two beasts, read Revelation 13.
