Revelation
13:1-18 NKJV Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up
out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns,
and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a
leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of
a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne and great authority. 3 And I
saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded and his deadly wound
was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they
worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the
beast, saying “Who is like the beast?” Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And
he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given
authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who
dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to
overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue and nation.
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been
written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He
who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and faith of the saints.
11 Then I
saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb
and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of beast, should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
In the first two chapters of Genesis reveals the beginning of God’s plan which was purposed to putting a man in the garden. And in that, a deception came to disrupt….a voice from the dust. And Genesis 3:1 tells us that the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. Yes a voice came from the dust as a beast. BUT in the last two chapters of the Bible is the book of Revelation and in this that which was planned in the Beginning is resumed in the glory of God, of His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
From
Revelation 21:6 reveals that there was no more sea. For this was
done away with in Revelation 20:11 for the earth and the heaven will flee away
from God of the White Throne
judgment. So “this sea” in this passage
does not mean water, but of a spirit pertaining to the spiritual and a beast…….that
is, it is a sea that holds a perpetual unrest as seen from Mark 4:39 where the
wind and wave obeyed Jesus! This sea represents a “beast” …an unruly hostile "troubler" of God’s people: His name is Thay--reon. This troubler is seen in
Revelation 13:1 and 13:11, he is equipped in demonic magic and ventriloquism. Revelation 13:1 Then I stood on the sand of
the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Yes,
this beast will be done away with as described as the sea Jesus speaks of in
Revelation 21:6!
Judgment will come and that sea will give up her dead. All that Thay—reon took captive. This beast will cease to destroy or disturb. If we truly look at this, we find the first beast is a man, the troubler with demonic ties. But when we look at the second "beast", this word has the meaning of not man but an idol. And behind every idol is a lie.
Where are idols found in this world, well, one is found in your phone. It is like a lifeline to the world. And this world, apps are provided to simplify your life. Oh, yes there is an app for you to use. And the "beast" will have this idol at your fingertips so that he can keep connected to you for his own intent! It will lie to you and tell you that you "really" need this app.
(In referring to the hand, it is considered the right hand when having a connection to fellowship: "the right hand of fellowship".)
In verse 10
of Revelation 13..the call is for endurance and faith of the saints. Faith is
required ….it should be a knowing of the past faith walk in Him, that although
He is neither chaotic nor is He haphazard, but the end times have been
orchestrated by Him. It is you and I who are to walk like a beautiful song on a
stormy day, to live in harmony with God seated in heavenly places while hell is
breaking loose….on earth.
Faith
people exhibit a language that speaks the new spiritual life and where Christ the
true is praised. Those of faith hold truth and speak it as Jesus spoke !
Faith
people make room for life and living…..they make room to rest in Him and abide
in His presence. For it is in Him we learned to praise Him in the midst of
trials and tribulations and see His glory cover our land.
