TWO BEASTS IN REVELATION 13
Generally, we usually speak of one beast when we speak about the book of Revelation. But now please remember that there are two beasts in Revelation 13!
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed
One comes from the sea, and one comes from the earth. The one from the earth (the second beast) causes the world to worship the one from the sea.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
KINGDOM AND WORSHIP
These two beasts refer to the kingdoms of the world and worship of the devil. That is how power is manifested in our world.
Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
Satan imitates everything that comes from the Creator.
When the Most High was with Yasharal (Israel), the two chief tribes were Judah and Levi. Judah dealt with the government, Levi dealt with worship. Together, that is what constitutes the righteous nation.
Satan runs his unrighteous kingdom the same way. This is revealed when he tempted the Messiah after Messiah had fasted forty days and forty nights.
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
THE FIRST BEAST
So we have the kingdoms being given to those who worship the devil. It is the same for the two beasts in Revelation. The first came from the kingdoms of the earth, which we will look at now:
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
This beast matches with the beasts in Daniel 7:4-6. These beasts represented exalted world powers who reign powerfully for different periods.
BEAST OF SEVEN HEADS
That is why we were told about the beast of seven heads. This is not a literal beast, as in a literal animal. It is a world kingdom that has the attributes of animals.
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
The seven heads are seven countries, seven powers. These are the seven powerful countries that bully the world.
They are the G7 nations, the leaders of NATO.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has been described as the greatest military alliance in the history of the world. The G7 consists of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. All of these nations belong to NATO except for Japan.
Six of their seven members are G7, the largest and most advanced economies in the world. So let’s look at NATO.
This powerful military perfectly mirrors the book of Revelation!
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
This is why some believe if you were to give a literal name to the beast, it would be NATO.
Who is able to make war with him?
NATO, the beast of seven heads?
To find out more, we looked at the first beast (of seven heads) in detail here.
THE SECOND BEAST
The second beast? This is worship through man’s religions.
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
So the job of the second beast is to get people to worship the first beast. This is exactly what Satan proposed to the Messiah in Matthew 4. I will give you all these if you bow down and worship me.
This second beast is religion. It is a reigion which makes people worship the kingdoms of the world. That means it is a vain religion.
Now to follow the true Messiah, we must deny ourselves (Mat 16:24). We cannot love the world or the things therein, or the love of the Father will not be in us (1 John 2:15-17). So a religion that makes us do the opposite, that makes us not deny ourselves?
That is not of the Creator.
That is the one that makes us worship the beast.
THE MOTHER HARLOT & HER DAUGHTERS
I am going to be very bold in speaking the truth here. This is Christianity led by the Catholic church, the Mother of Harlots (Catholics) leading her daughters (protestant churches).
It is the same religion in Revelation 17 clothed in purple (Catholic bishops) and scarlet (Catholic cardinals), having a golden cup in her hand.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Now probably you are a Christian reading this? The truth is never soothing. It usually hurts. If you do not understand these things you cannot begin to understand how Satan works deceitfully through the very people we hold in high esteem.
You must now ask yourself, what am I seeking, truth or religion?
You must know that only the truth saves you. Rejecting the truth will bring you strong delusion so you believe a lie, so that you be damned. The truth saves us.
Seek the truth.
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause The Most High shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So please. Let us continue with the truth. If you do not understand this about Christianity, then you will never be able to understand the beast system. You will continue to be deceived believing the lies of the false prophets.
So man’s religions makes us worship the world instead of rejecting it (1 John 2:15-17).
THE MEANING OF THE WORD “BEAST” PROVES CHRISTIANITY IS THE SECOND BEAST
A beast is an exalted kingdom, that is above all others. Let’s see what we find here:
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
The beasts described in scripture are the most exalted. Look at the meaning of “great.”
H7260
רַבְרַב
rabrab
rab-rab’
(Chaldee); from H7229; huge (in size); domineering (in character): – (very) great (things).
Total KJV occurrences: 8
So it has to be huge in size and domineering! Christianity is the largest religion on earth.
That is your religious beast right there. If we were to look at Catholics only? There are 1.422 billion Catholics in the world, which I believe is grossly exaggerated, as this data is coming from the Vatican itself. I’m sorry, but I do not believe anything they say.
But anyway, if we were only looking at Catholics? Islam would be the beast on this earth as they would be most dominant in numbers. Don’t forget, we were told that the number of the beast is the number of a man. Christ on a cross.
The word “great” as in “great beast” also means domineering. You cannot want more dominance than the Papacy. huge in size, domineering in character.
Christianity is the second beast.
THE SECOND BEAST SHALL GIVE LIFE TO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST
It is the second beast that gives life to the image of the beast (artificial intelligence).
Indeed, the image of the beast is a collaboration between the two beasts. The first beast, the kingdoms of the world bring science and infrastructure. The second beast gives the image life!
Remember, the second beast presides over the worship of the devil. That is the evil spirit that is in the image of the beast.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
This life is what some people speak about when they say that it is fallen angels that are powering AI. They are not far from the truth. False religion, being of Satan, means they are able to give life to the image of the beast (AI), to breathe the spirit of Satan into artificial intelligence.
