The Beast from the Sea

(Daniel 7:1–8)

Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. Rev 12:3Rev 17:3Dan 7:23-25Rev 11:7Dan 7:2-3Dan 7:7-8Dan 11:36Rev 17:16 The beast I saw was like a leopard, with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. Dan 7:4-71Pe 5:8Rev 12:9Rev 17:12Rev 20:2Rev 12:13Rev 12:15Rev 12:3-4

One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast. Rev 17:8Rev 13:14Rev 17:10Rev 17:17Act 8:13Ezk 30:24Rev 13:1-2Rev 13:12 They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?” Rev 13:2Rev 18:18Rev 12:3Rev 13:12-13Rev 13:152Co 4:42Th 2:4Dan 11:36-37

The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months. Dan 7:25Dan 7:8Dan 11:36Rev 12:6Dan 7:112Th 2:4Dan 7:20Rev 11:2-3 And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven. Heb 9:24Mat 12:34Mat 15:19Rev 12:12Heb 12:22-23Heb 9:11-12Rev 11:12Rev 18:20

Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. Dan 7:21Rev 11:7Dan 7:25Rev 12:17Dan 12:1Dan 8:24-25Rev 17:15Jhn 19:11 And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain. 1 1Pe 1:19-20Eph 1:4Mat 25:34Rev 17:8Rev 3:5Tit 1:2Jhn 1:29Rev 21:27

He who has an ear, let him hear: Rev 2:7Rev 2:17Rev 2:11Rev 2:29

“If anyone is destined for captivity, Jer 15:2Isa 33:1Rev 14:12Rev 3:10Luk 21:19Heb 6:12Jas 5:7-8Rev 2:2

into captivity he will go;

if anyone is to die 2by the sword,

by the sword he must be killed.” 3

Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. 2Co 11:13-15Dan 7:8Mat 7:15Rev 17:6Dan 7:24-25Rev 11:7Rev 12:3-4Rev 13:17 And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed. Rev 17:10-11Rev 14:11Rev 14:9Rev 19:202Th 2:4Rev 13:14-17Rev 13:3-4

And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people. Mat 24:242Th 2:9-10Rev 16:14Rev 19:201Ki 18:38Deu 13:1-3Rev 20:9Mrk 13:22 Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived. Rev 12:9Rev 19:20Rev 13:82Th 2:42Th 2:9-12Dan 11:36Rev 13:11-12Rev 13:15 The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. Dan 3:3-6Rev 16:2Rev 19:20Rev 20:4Rev 17:6Dan 7:25Rev 13:14Rev 14:11

The Mark of the Beast

And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, Rev 20:4Rev 19:20Ezk 9:4Deu 6:8Rev 14:9-11Rev 7:3Rev 19:18Deu 11:18 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name. Rev 13:16Rev 14:11Rev 15:2Rev 22:4Rev 13:18Rev 14:9Rev 3:12Rev 17:5

Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. 4 Rev 15:2Rev 17:9Rev 21:17Dan 12:10Mrk 13:14Rev 1:3Hos 14:9Psa 107:43
