Rev 13:11 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.
In this article I will be revealing the identity of the second beast. If you have not read my previous article identifying the first beast, please do so now. In my first article I explained the first 12 verses of Revelation 13 where I identified the first beast as “the law of sin.” Our clue as to the identity of these beasts comes from Romans 5 through 8. The first beast is revealed thusly: “For without the law sin was dead,” (this is the beast with his head wounded to death.) “…but when the commandment came, sin revived…” (His deadly wound was healed)…[Rom 7: 8, 9].
Now to reveal 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
. This beast works in conjunction with the first beast and his name is Death. Sin and death go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. Wherever there is sin (which is everywhere), there is death. If it were not for sin, death would not exist. The rest of Rev. 13 shows how these two work together to affect the lives of every living creature on earth.

Revealing the Beasts of Revelation 13
Revelation Chapter 13 is one of the most fascinating chapters in the book of Revelation. In it we find the following: (1) the beast with seven heads and ten horns, (2) the beast with two horns like a lamb, (3) the image of the beast, and (4) 666, the mark of the beast. God has given me a fascinating revelation of what these all mean and how they fit together. I would like to share this revelation with my readers, but first I will need to lay some groundwork.
The safest way to interpret Scripture is with Scripture. I will do this by drawing mostly from Romans chapters 5 through 8. I will not be giving my opinion here but will be showing how God has made a picture for us in Rev. 13 of the truths stated in Romans 5 through 8. There have been many interesting theories of what these beasts, the image and the mark all mean. I don’t intend to say that I have the
only
interpretation, but I believe the one I have truly has been revealed to me by God through many hours of Bible study and prayer.
Along with using Scripture to interpret Scripture, I will be using a perspective that not many today have understood but that was widely used by the early Church Fathers. This perspective involves viewing this passage as something inward rather than outward. Rather than there being a ...
A Prophetic Word
I sense an urgency in the Lord’s dealings with his people. He is calling us all to a strict obedience to his Word. His hand of judgment is heavy upon this nation. God does not do evil things to anyone, but when he is not wanted he does withdraw. And when he has withdrawn, the enemy is free to do as he wants. Our greatest protection lies in our strict obedience to his commandments.
A scripture from Ecclesiastes came to mind this morning: “And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil (Eccles. 12:12-14).
“Fear God and obey his commandments.” This is the most important thing we are to do. No matter what is happening in our life, no matter how many seeming failures or disappointments or difficulties, we are to fear God and obey him. I felt so strongly about this yesterday morning that I made a list of everything God has told me to do and everything he has told me not to do and determined I must be very careful to adhere to his commands. When I got to ch...
Freedom Gone
This nation will wake up one day and find its freedom gone. Behold there is a darkness coming upon this nation, darker, darker, darker than the crime that is on the street…darker than the darkest night. Behold, in the midst of this darkness there shall shine a light, and that light will be mine. But alas, where are my people? Why don’t they know me? Why aren’t my people growing? So few of them are becoming the light that I am seeking, but I have found a faithful few. Behold, in the midst of this darkness there shall shine in a few areas a bright light. And those who come to that light shall be safely brought ashore. Behold the waves of darkness shall terrorize people, but the light will bring safety and peace.
Judgment shall come upon this nation. Judgment for the innocent blood that has been shed…judgment for the decisions that decree I am not allowed here in this nation. You can have any kind of pornography you want. You can have the religion of witchcraft…that is fine. You can teach it in the schools and read books about it in schools. But do not bring my word. I have been rejected and turned away.
When this darkness comes, they’re going to cry, “God, God, where are you?” I will not respond because they have sent me ...
