The Beast Out Of The Earth--SOLVED!
Revelation chapter 13:11-18 is one of the most well read chapters in the Bible. This beast, of course, is the power of the Antichrist. But before we dive into the meaning of this chapter we need to look deeper into other chapters to gather up clues that will help us identify this Antichrist power. So the first verse will explain some very important attributes of the beast.
“Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain" (Daniel 11:36-39).
The Antichrist has no tolerance for any religion. So as much as some people despise the Roman Catholic Church this passage excludes them from the beast power, as the RCC can be accused for being too tolerant towards other religions. The beast shall worship a false god not known by their fathers. This means there will be no history prior to the arrival of this god to support the ancestry of those who should have known this god. So far a very good candidate for this beast is Islam, as there is no history of Islam before Islam yet the Qur'an makes the claim that Adam, Abraham, Moses, Alexander the Great, Jesus and His disciples, and many many others, were all muslims. Yet nobody in the ancient world recognizes Islam's existence prior to Muhammad. Islam also has zero tolerance for other religions or any worldview that exist apart from Islam.
The next verse is very important because this provides us insightful information of the destructive attributes of Satan's power:
“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations! (Isa.14:12).
The ESV translates the end of the verse as "you who laid the nations low!" So the power of Lucifer working through his followers will weaken the nations to the point of laying them low. In other words, the once greatness of these gentile nations that came to the light of the Messiah (Isa.60:3) will be brought low through the act of apostasy caused by atheism which will leave the door wide open for the ultimate invasion which will destroy everything great about those nations who once lived by the law and commission of Christ. Thus Satan will gather his followers of the occult for the purpose of destroying everything good ever accomplished by God's faithful. They will persecute them and even kill them as if they were doing it for God. So the Antichrist power will be connected to a religious movement of the diabolical kind.
1John 2:18-23 is an indirect reference to the Gnostic movement which had been trying to infiltrate the church. The Apostle John says that we will know the last hour before Judgment by seeing how the power that infiltrates the early church becomes a world power in the last hour before Judgement.
1John 4:1-3 explains more about the attributes of the Antichrist, as many antichrists were in the world already. They rejected the reality of the crucifixion of Christ and do not believe God came in the flesh (John 1:1-14).
Qur'an 5:110 is plagiarized from two Gnostic works: The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, and Thomas the Israelite Philosopher's Account of the Infancy of the LORD. These are early Gnostic accounts which Muhammad plagiarized into the Qur'an, Muhammad also rejected the crucifixion and did not believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh (meaning, the word made flesh (John 1:1-14; Isa.9:6).
For the purpose of time and space it would be fruitful to you readers if we jump back to Revelation chapter 13.
Now the beast out of the sea, as I believe, is evolution theory: the belief that life evolved from the watery chaos. Case and point: Romans 1:18-32 clearly speaks about God's wrath on those who rejected God's existence in hopes they can attain a state of wickedness upon the earth and establish a name for themselves (Gen.11:4). So in the name of narcissism there will be people living in the Christian lands who will whore around with the beast in hopes they may become great by betraying their nations with the help of a foreign god (neither muslims or progressives have history of Islam before Muhammad, and Islam was not well known in the west until 9-11). So, again, the power of the beast will be the combined powers of the occult waging war against the Lamb of God.
