Even More Beastly
Next, another beast comes out of the Earth.
This one has two horns like the Lamb, but sounds an awful lot like the Dragon.

It tries to get you to turn your back on God. Maybe it even wants you to use some of those coins with the emperor's face on him. You know, the ones that say the emperor is actually a god in human form. But don't do it.
