Beast From The Earth


Bible Questions Answered:
“......who or what is this beast from the earth?”
Brian/ Sacramento, California U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Text:
Revelation 13:11-18 NLT
11 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth*. He had two horns like those of a lamb*, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon.
12 He exercised all the authority* of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship* the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
13 He did astounding miracles*, even making fire flash down to earth* from the sky while everyone was watching.
14 And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life*.
15 He was then permitted to give life* to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.
16 He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead*.
17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.
18 Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

Satan, at best is an imitator, the only original idea he has ever had was that of sin.
There is an evil trinity (Now where did that come from?).
Father, Satan the Devil, Lucifer.
Son, the coming Anti-Christ, possessed by the spirit of his father.
False Prophet, spiritual, false leader. (See, Revelation 16:13/ 19:20/20:10)

Revelation 17, describes a false religious system, which sits on seven hills (Verse 9), many interpret as being Rome, and its Papacy.

In these verses of Revelation 13:11-18 is describing the devils false imitation of God the Holy Spirit, the coming False Prophet, Satanic religious leader (Who may already be in the world.)
The False Prophet, demands that all worship the first beast from the sea, the Anti-Christ.

Look at these verses to see the evil (False Prophet) imitation of God's Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 2:3-5 KJV
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Verse 13: Astounding Miracles.
Matthew 14:25-27 KJV
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Verse 13: Fire flash down to earth.
Acts 2:1-3 KJV
1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place.
2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting.
3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them.

Verse 14: Fatally wounded and then came back to life.
Matthew 16:21 KJV
From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Verse 15: To give life
John 11:25,38,41-45 KJV
25 Jesus said unto her, I am The Resurrection, and The Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in Himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard Me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest Me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent Me.
43 And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on Him.

Verse 16: A mark on the right hand or on the forehead.
Ezekiel 9:3-7 NLT (God's people saved, the guilty sentenced- read the whole chapter.)
3 Then the glory of the God of Israel rose up from between the cherubim, where it had rested, and moved to the entrance of the Temple. And the Lord called to the man dressed in linen who was carrying the writer’s case.
4 He said to him, “Walk through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of all who weep and sigh because of the detestable sins being committed in their city.”
5 Then I heard the Lord say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity!
6 Kill them all—old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders.
7 “Defile the Temple!” the Lord commanded. “Fill its courtyards with corpses. Go!” So they went and began killing throughout the city.

Revelation 7:2-4 KJV
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 14:1 KJV
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads.

This false worship leader, will cause all men to worship the beast which has come up from the sea, the Anti-Christ.

And of their end....

Revelation 19:20 NLT
And the beast (Anti-Christ) was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
