The Beast Out of the Earth
The
Emergence of the False Prophet of the Antichrist
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
13:11
The “beast” coming up out of the earth, with two horns like
a lamb, and spoke like a dragon—is a religious leader with deceptive humility.
This “beast” is “the false prophet of the antichrist.”
“The false prophet of the
antichrist emerged as a religious leader, but with a deceptive humility and for
a diabolical purpose.
“The beast out of the
earth” is the emergence of “the false prophet of the antichrist”—out of a
particular city of the earth.
That city is the
Vatican.
“And
he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him…” (Rev.13:12)
This means, he also has political power.
“…
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast”
(Rev.13:12)
The worship of “the beast” is connected with the diabolical
healing of the wound of “the beast” (see Rev. 13:3-4).
The false prophet is given power by Satan,
to do great signs in the earth.
“And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men…” (Rev. 13:13)
That’s a ‘diabolical
fire’—an imitation of “the fire of the LORD” that fell and consumed the burnt
sacrifice at Mount Carmel; when GOD answered Prophet Elijah by fire (read I
Kings 18:20-40).
With this ‘diabolical sign,’ “the false
prophet” will deceive and delude many.
And
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he
had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the
earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
Rev.13:14
Beware!
The
dragon, that old serpent, called the devil and satan, which was cast out of
heaven, to the earth (Rev. 12:9)—is still in the business of deceiving the
whole world.’
The emergence of “the beast”—‘the
lawless one’ is a “strong delusion,” orchestrated and directed by Satan
himself.
Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
II
Thess. 2:9-12
This “strong delusion” will be administered and executed
by “the false prophet of the antichrist.”
Verse 15 of Revelation 13, goes on to
say that, the false prophet is granted 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.
And, yet is another ‘great deception’—in fact, the greatest
deception and delusion of “the beast” is revealed in verses 16 and 17:
And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive
a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
This is the work that the false prophet
will do for the antichrist.
Any human who receives “the mark of the beast” has been
“sold-out” to “the beast” (the antichrist)—those who accept his “mark,” belong
to Satan; and are doomed!
And
the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the
beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;
and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev.
14:9-10
The Wisdom of GOD’s Word already
revealed the number of “the beast.”
Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for
it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Rev.
13:18
Those who hold on to their testimony for Jesus and to the
Word of God, will not worship “the beast,” and they will not receive “the mark
of the beast.”
“Here is the patience and the faith of
the saints” (Rev. 13:10 b).
Revelation 20:4 states
And
I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I
saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the
Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived
and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Chapter 15, verse 2 says:
And
I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the
victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number
of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Vatican is “the great harlot”
‘which sits on many waters’ (Rev. 17:1).
“The
kings of the earth” fornicates with her, and the inhabitants of the earth are
made drunk with the wine of her fornication [idolatry] (Rev. 17:2).
“Many
waters” upon which “the great harlot” (Vatican) sits are diverse multitude of
nations, kingdoms, tribes, and people of different tongues—that make up the EU.
This “great harlot” is “the mystery
Babylon” – “the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth” (Rev.
17:5).
She is the bloody city that is full of
lies and robbery.
There is a multitude of slain, a great
number of bodies, countless corpses. Because of the seductive “harlot,” ‘the
mistress of sorceries,’ who sells nations through her harlotries, and families
through her sorceries.
She is ‘arrayed in purple and scarlet,
and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls’ (Rev. 17:4). Because she
is a religious city—she is placed first among all the religious cities of
the world, by the ‘world’s
religious councils of nations.’ Their aim and objective in building a one-world religion is to
internationalize Jerusalem and make it the world’s capital of all religions.
“Babylon the Great” sheds
the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus (Rev. 17:6).
They are slain for the Word of GOD and
for the Testimony of Jesus.
Her decrees against
Christians have always been issued through the Vatican.
How
will this decree be made globally official in the future?
“The
false prophet of the antichrist” will ‘give breath to the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not
worship the image of the beast to be killed’ (see Rev. 13:15).
The ungodly marvels at ‘the mystery of
Babylon and of the beast,’ but the mind which has wisdom discerns “the mystery
of iniquity.”
In the Scriptures, four different
perspectives of “Babylon the Great” can be seen:
1.) Vatican - “that great city” (“great harlot”) rules over the kings
of the earth (Rev. 17:18).
Vatican is “the great harlot” ‘which sits on many waters’ (Rev. 17:1). “Many
waters” upon which “the great harlot” sits are diverse multitude of nations,
kingdoms, tribes, and people of different tongues—that make up the EU.
2.) “A place spiritually called
Sodom and Egypt” – ‘where also our LORD was
crucified.’ Dead bodies of the two witnesses (prophets) will lie in the street
of “the great city” (Rev. 11:8).
Jesus Christ, that He might sanctify the people with His blood, suffered
outside the gate (Heb. 13:12)—in this place where He was crucified, called
“Golgotha” in Hebrew—also known as ‘the Place of a Skull’ (Mt. 27:33-35; Mk.
19:17).
3.) America – “the great city” (great Babylon) shall be divided into
three (Rev. 16:19).
This will happen, when the US, in collaboration with other world-leading
nations joins forces and divides Israel –creating what they call “a two-state
solution.”
4.) “Mystery, Babylon the
Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth” (Rev. 17:5)
This is the rising empire
of “the new-world order.” It is emerging as a world-wide political, economic
and religious power; just as the Scriptures prophesied.
Vatican, 'the great harlot' is “Mystery-Babylon”—the seat of
religious-rule—“the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth.”
Rome is situated near where
the Tiber River meets the Mediterranean Sea, it was called “Urbs
Septicollis” (“City of the Seven Hills”) because of the seven hills upon which
it was built.
In several centuries of reign of Roman
Empire, Rome introduced many nations and kings to worship of several pagan gods
and idols. Rome has hundreds of temples dedicated to worship of pagan gods. By
the sorcery of Rome the nations of the world were deceived.
Rome, through the strength of her great
empire and merchants, exports her abundant luxuries to international
destinations across different continents.
Rome, for centuries, have been
exchanging her riches with nations around the world; through her trades and
exchanges.
New
York is one of the world’s cities that became immensely rich by the many trades
of “Babylon the Great.”
For
all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of
the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev.18:3
When
divine judgment comes on Rome, it will also come on “the city that never
sleeps”—the pride of America!—the world’s economic capital!
How
much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and
sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow,
and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for
strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Rev.
18:7-8
The merchants of “Babylon the Great”
are ‘the great men of the earth.’
Rome
has ruled the world in nine consecutive resurrections of “the Roman Empire,”
yet, the tenth and the final resurgence of this empire as “Fortress Europe” is
happening now!
Vatican
through “the church of Rome” rules over the world’s leaders.
And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings
of the earth.
Rev.
17:18
The
Mediterranean Sea is
a large body of water in the Middle East bordered by many nations in two
continents—Asia and Europe. These nations include: Israel, Greece, Lebanon, and
Italy.
Its
southern coastline stretches 2,200 miles from the coast of Palestine to the
Straights of Gibraltar off the coast of Spain. The sea is 80 miles wide at its
narrowest point between Sicily and North Africa. The Mediterranean Sea was
established as the western boundary of the land that GOD gave to the Israelites
(Num. 34:6).
In
the Bible, the Mediterranean is also referred to as “the Great Sea” (Josh.
1:4), “the Western Sea” (Deut. 11:24), and simply “the sea” (Josh. 16:8).
In
the time of our Lord Jesus and Apostle Paul, the Mediterranean was controlled
by the Romans, who also used it to transport soldiers to the East to keep order
in the provinces.
The
Mediterranean also played a key role in the early expansion of Christianity.
Paul crossed the Mediterranean during his missionary journeys and set sail from
many of its ports, including Caesarea (Acts 9:30), Seleucia (Acts 13:4), and
Cenchrea (Acts 18:18). He was shipwrecked on the Mediterranean while sailing to
Rome in late autumn (Acts 27).
GOD Almighty will avenge on “Babylon the Great” the blood of
His apostles, prophets, and saints.
Rejoice
over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged
you on her.
And
a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the
sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,
and shall be found no more at all.
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and
of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the
sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
And the light of a candle shall shine no more
at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard
no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for
by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets,
and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Rev.18:20-24
After the destruction of “Babylon the
Great”—which will be divine judgment, something will happen in Heaven.
And
after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying,
Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
For true and righteous are His judgments: for
He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her
fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.
And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke
rose up for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders and the four
beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
Alleluia.
And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
Praise our God, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and
great.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Rev.
19:1-6
After this, comes the dearly much
awaited Wedding Supper of the Lamb!
