The Beast Unleashed! (Part 1)

 


Revelation 13:1-8

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. 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. 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. 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?”


And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 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. 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.

There is alot to understand here. By divine revelation, this is what I understand. First we need to understand that there is a difference between  the spiritual judgments and decrees of God in Heaven and the physical manifestations of those judgments and decress here on earth!

For example what does it look like when peace is taken from the earth?

Revelation 6:3-4

"When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword."

This is a judgment of God, and it is happening right now! This prophecy of scripture is being fulfilled even as I write this post, just turn on CNN news and you will hear; uprising in Greece, protests break out in France, five people killed at a block party, mass shooting at an elementary school, mass shooting at a high school, John killed Jane last night at a house party, Jane killed John last night as he slept in bed, on and on and on. Jesus said, because lawlessness will abound, the love of many shall grow cold!

Notice the scripture says in Revelation 13:2 the dragon (satan) gave him his power, what kind of power does satan have? Most notably, the power to deceive the whole world, authority over other evil spirits etc.... 

This beast from the sea is an evil spirit that has entered a human man and when it is unleashed from within that person, he will become the man of sin, the son of perdition, the anti-christ. Sounds like a movie script doesn't it! 

What will cause the beast from the sea to be unleashed from within the man? The deadly wound to the head! And what's the most common form of a deadly wound to the head today? That's right, a gunshot!

About 90% of people who are shot in the head, die. So it will most certainly be a miraculous event when this man recovers from the deadly wound. The House Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner at a supermarket parking lot in Tucson, Arizona, along with many other people and she miraculously survived and recovered from the assassination attempt. 

When this happens to this person and he miraculously recovers, the world will be amazed and be drawn to him even more than before! He will go on to blaspheme God and His creation, he will oppose, persecute and kill true Spirit-filled Christians. He will have authority over all the countries and people on this earth and every soul will worship him, except those who reject him and his mark by being converted to Christ and being sealed in their foreheads by the Spirit of God. 

A truly sobering prophecy! And I do believe we are right at the door! Only time will tell!

In Christ,
