My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 13:11

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 13:11

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

The Beast Out of the Earth

The Second Beast

"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

another beast coming... Sixteen facts about the second beast of Rev. 13:1-18:

1. He also will be a man. The Greek: allos, means another of the same kind. The first beast is a man (Rev. 13:18), so the second one must also be a man (Rev. 13:11; 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). Personal pronouns are used of them, indicating they are persons.

2. He will come out of the earth (Rev. 13:11), which is the same as coming out of the sea (cp. Dan. 7:3 with Dan. 7:17). There is no intimation that he will be from the underworld of departed spirits, or that he will be a man resurrected from the dead. Both beasts symbolize two natural men who will be born in these last days, will fulfill prophecy and will be cast into the lake of fire at the end of Armageddon (Rev. 19:20; Dan. 7:11; Isa. 11:4; 2Th. 2:8).

3. He will come after the first beast and will be his prophet (Rev. 13:13; 19:20; 20:10).

4. He will come with a lamb-like appearance to deceive, but will speak like the dragon (Rev. 13:11).

5. He will exercise all the power of the first beast or Antichrist before him (Rev. 13:2, 13:12; 19:20; 2Th. 2:8-12).

6. He will cause people on earth to worship the first beast (Rev. 13:12; 17:8-11).

7. He will do great miracles, even to calling fire from heaven before people, counterfeiting God and His works (Rev. 13:13; 19:20; cp. Num. 11:1-3; 26:10).

8. He will deceive people by the miracles he will do in the sight of the first beast (Rev. 13:14; 19:20).

9. He will cause people to make an image of the first beast to be worshiped (Rev. 13:14; 14:9-11; 15:2; 16:2; 20:4-6).

10. He will have power to give life to the image causing it to speak and do personal acts (Rev. 13:15; cp. Exo. 7:10-12).

11. He will cause the image to demand the death penalty for all who will not worship the Antichrist (Rev. 13:15; 7:9-17; 15:2; 20:4-6).

12. He will cause people in the kingdom of Antichrist to take a mark, or the name of the Antichrist, or the number of his name in the right hand or in the forehead (Rev. 13:16; 14:9-11; 15:2; 16:2; 20:4-6).

13. He will make a law that no man might buy or sell if he does not take one of the three brands (Rev. 13:17).

14. He will be equal to the first beast in sending demon spirits, working through ambassadors, to gather the nations to Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-16; 19:19-21).

15. He will be taken with the Antichrist at Armageddon and be cast alive into the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20).

16. He will still be in the lake of fire in conscious torment one thousand years later (Rev. 20:10).

out of the... The chief religious figure in the world during the Tribulation years is identified in Scripture as the False Prophet or the second beast. He will be influential in religious affairs, motivated by Satan, having authority delegated to him as he promotes the worship of the Antichrist. Authenticating his ministry with signs and wonders, successfully deceiving the unbelieving world, promoting idolatrous worship, having the power of death, having authority over commerce, and having an identifying physical mark. An Illustration is: As the Father sent the Son, so will Satan send the Antichrist. As the Son sends the Holy Spirit to accomplish His purpose, so will the False Prophet carry out the program of the Antichrist. Christians should recognize Satan’s attempts to minimize the plans and people of the Godhead, and therefore should guard themselves with biblical doctrine (see 2 Thess. 2:9; Rev. 13:11-18; compare Matt. 17:11).

This is the final false prophet (called such in 16:13; 19:20; 20:10), who promotes Antichrist’s power and convinces the world to worship him as God. This companion beast will be the chief, most persuasive proponent of satanic religion (compare 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). Antichrist will be primarily a political and military leader, but the false prophet will be a religious leader. Politics and religion will unite in a worldwide religion of worshiping the Antichrist (see 17:1-9, 15-17).
The false prophet will be sent forth and controlled by a powerful demon from below. The earth imagery, in contrast to that of the foreboding, mysterious sea (in verse 1), may imply that the false prophet is subtler and more winsome that Antichrist.
two horns like... This lamb imagery may also imply that the false prophet will be also a false Christ masquerading as the true Lamb. Unlike Antichrist, the false prophet will come not as a killing, destroying animal, but as one who appears gentle and deceptively attractive.
This "beast" was pretending to be Jesus, but when he opened his mouth, you knew he was evil. This is a deceitful character. While pretending to be good, he was very evil. Of course, a lamb doesn't have real horns, a goat does; so this has to do with power.
He spake as... The false prophet will be Satan’s mouthpiece and thus his message will be like the dragon, Satan, the source of all false religion (compare 2 Cor. 11:14).

7. The Seventh Personage: The Beast Out Of The Earth (Rev. 13:11-18)

Introduction of the beast out of the earth (Rev. 13:11-12)

In contrast with the first beast who came “out of the sea” (Rev. 13:1), the second beast came out of the earth. He was similar to the first beast (thērion, “a beast,” was used of both personages). However, while the first beast was a Gentile, since he came from the entire human race as symbolized by “the sea” (Rev. 13:1), the second beast was a creature of the earth. Some have taken this as a specific reference to the Promised Land and have argued that he was therefore a Jew. There is no support for this in the context as the word for “earth” is the general word referring to the entire world (gē). Actually his nationality and geographic origin are not indicated, and he is apparently the one referred to as “the false prophet” in Rev. 19:20 and Rev. 20:10.
