Revelation
13, AMP
As
I stood on the sandy beach, I saw a Beast
[The
Lawless One, the Antichrist, 2 Thessalonian 2]
Coming
up out of the sea with Ten Horns and Seven heads.
2
And the Beast that I saw resembled a Leopard,
His
feet were like those of a Bear,
And
his mouth was like that of a Lion.
And
to him the Dragon [Satan] gave his [own] might and power,
His
[own] Throne and Great Dominion.
3
And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound.
But
his death stroke was healed,
AND
THE WHOLE EARTH WENT AFTER THE BEAST
In
amazement and admiration.
4
They fell down and did homage to the Dragon,
Because
he had bestowed on the Beast
All
his Dominion and authority;
They
also praised and worshiped the Beast,
Exclaiming,
Who is a match for the Beast,
And
who can make war against him?
5
And the Beast was given the power of speech,
Uttering
Boastful and Blasphemous words,
And
he was given freedom to exert his authority
And
to exercise his will during forty-two months
[Three
and half years]. [Dan. 7:8]
6
And he opened his mouth to speak slanders against God,
Blaspheming
His Name and His Abode,
[Even
vilifying] those who live in Heaven.
7
He was further permitted TO WAGE WAR
On
God's Holy People (the Saints)
And
to overcome them.
And
power was given him to extend his authority
OVER
EVERY TRIBE AND PEOPLE AND TONGUE AND NATION.
[Dan.
7:21, 25.]
8
AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH
Will
fall down in adoration and pay him homage,
EVERYONE
whose name has not been recorded
From
the foundation of the World in The Book Of LIFE
Of
the Lamb that was slain [in sacrifice]
From
the foundation of the World.
9
IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO HEAR, LET HIM LISTEN:
10
Whoever leads into captivity will himself go into captivity;
If
anyone slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain.
Herein
is [the call for] Patience
And
the Faith and Fidelity of the Saints
(God's
People). [Jer. 15:2.]
11
Then I saw another Beast rising up out of the land [itself];
He
had two horns like a lamb and he spoke (roared) like a Dragon.
12
He exerts all the power and right of control of the former Beast
In
his presence,
And
causes the earth and those who dwell upon it
To
Exalt and Deify the First Beast,
Whose
deadly wound was healed, and worship him.
13
He performs Great Signs—startling miracles—
Even
making fire fall from the sky to the earth in men's sight.
14
And because of the signs (miracles)
Which
he is allowed to perform
In
the presence of the First Beast,
HE
DECEIVES THOSE WHO INHABIT THE EARTH,
Commanding
them to erect a statue (an IMAGE)
In
the likeness of the [First] Beast
Which
was wounded by the (small) sword
And
still lived. [Deut. 13:1-5.]
15
And he was permitted [also] to impart the breath of life
Into
the Beast's IMAGE
So
that the statue of the Beast could actually talk,
AND
TO CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH
Those
who would not bow down
And
worship the IMAGE of the Beast.
[Dan.
3:5.]
16
Also, he compels all[alike],
Both
small and great, both the rich and the poor,
Both
free and slave
TO
BE MARKED WITH AND INSCRIPTION (stamped)
On
their right hands or on their foreheads.
17
So that no one will have power to buy or sell
Unless
he bears the stamp
(MARK,
Inscription), [that is] the name of the Beast
Or
the number of his name.
18
Here is [room for] discernment—
A
call for the wisdom [of interpretation];
Let
any one who has intelligence
(penetration
and insight enough)
Calculate
the number of the Beast,
For
it is a human number—the number of a certain man;
His
number is Six Hundred and Sixty-Six.
(Revelation
13, AMP)
Today,
we are witnesses of the work of Satan
As he prepares the
Whole godless World
To receive his son, the
Beast, the Antichrist.
Soon they will receive
him, worship him and receive his “mark,”
Damning themselves to
an Eternal Hell;
EVERYONE whose name is
not written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.
Understand that this is
God's GREAT DELUSION.
(2 Thessalonians 2:11)
Here in America we
watch as Evil men and women, Impostors,
Go from Bad to Worse,
Deceiving and being Deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
We watch as so called,
“Christians,” become APOSTATES,
Abandoning the Word of
God
To curry favor with the
godless Culture.
We watch as godless,
Socialist, Secular Humanism
Is made the Religion of
STATE.
Christ Jesus Warned us:
Be always on the
Watch,
And pray that you will
be able to Escape
All that is about to
happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging against God,
Rushing
toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's Present Form is Passing Away.
(1
Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being Ground to Powder
Because
of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,
On
Earth as in Heaven!
