Thursday Bible Life Today Revelation 13 7-11-2024

Chapter 13 of Revelation reveals two beasts; one coming up from the sea (representing Gentile mankind) who is the antichrist and one coming from the earth (representing Israel) which is the false prophet.
The false prophet and the antichrist are empowered by the dragon (satan) to perform signs and miracles and lying wonders to deceive.
There is an appearance of the first beast receiving a deadly wound but being revived to life (a mimicking of Christ's true resurrection).
The false prophet causes all to receive the mark of the beast and to worship the beast.
