The BEAST of Revelation 13 comes up out of the sea (out of the sea of humanity).
The Dragon gives the BEAST his power
And his throne and great authority,
He is the son of Satan, the dragon.
One of the heads of the BEAST seemed to have had a fatal wound,
But the fatal wound had been healed.
The whole world was astonished and followed the BEAST.
Men worshiped the dragon
Because he had given authority to the BEAST,
And they also worshiped the BEAST and asked,
'Who is like the BEAST? Who can make war against him?'
(Revelation 13:3-4, NIV)
The BEAST was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies
And to exercise his authority for forty-two months.
He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name
And his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
He was given power to make war against the saints
And to conquer them.
And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language
And nation.
All inhabitants ow the earth will worship the BEAST-
All whose names have not been written in the Book Of LIFE
Belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
He who has an ear, let him hear.
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
With the sword he will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance
And faithfulness on the part of the saints. (Revelation 13:5-10, NIV)
When the BEAST, the final Antichrist is revealed, it becomes obvious
That there are only two religions in the world,
The religion of Satan, the dragon and his BEAST,
And the religion of the Lamb, Christ Jesus, the Christ of God.
Up to that time it appeared
That there were many religions in the world.
When the BEAST is “unmasked”
All the religions of the world are “unmasked;”
They all worship the dragon, Satan and his BEAST the Antichrist;
Demonstrating that all religion, except faith in the Christ of God,
Are demonic and of the devil.
The modern world simply has different versions of demonic religion
Than the wood and stone idols of the ancient world.
Only those of one religion refuse the “mark” of the BEAST,
Those who have faith in the Christ of God,
Whose names are written in the Lamb's Book Of LIFE.
Those who claim to be atheists and agnostics
Are also of the religion of Satan;
They, also, will worship Satan and his BEAST.
He who has an ear, let him hear.
The BEAST blasphemes only against one person, God;
He slanders the name of God, Lord Jesus Christ, and those of Heaven.
He does not blaspheme or slander anyone else,
As he has only one adversary, God and His Christ Jesus.
There are only two peoples in the world today
And down through the ages,
Those who have put their faith, in God and His Christ Jesus;
Whose names are written in the Lamb's Book Of LIFE,
And those who are of the devil, Satan.
The “unmasking” of the BEAST,
And the willingness of the whole world to worship him,
Makes this clear.
He who has an ear let him hear.
