SOME THOUGHTS ON THE FALSE TRINITY

REVELATION 13

THE FIRST BEAST:  THE ANTICHRIST

LIKE CHRIST, HE IS THE IMAGE OF  HIS FATHER:  SATAN!

[1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea (Gentile Nations - Rev. 17:15), having seven heads and ten horns (Revived Roman Empire - Dan. 2:41-42; 7:7), and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy (Antichrist - Mt. 24:5; Jn. 5:43; 1 Jn. 2:22).

[2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard (Greek Empire - Dan. 8:20-21), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (Medo-Persian Empire - Dan. 5:28), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (Babylonian Empire -Dan. 7:4) and the dragon (Satan - Rev. 20:2) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.  [Note:  The Antichrist's Revived Roman Empire includes the lands controlled by the four Empires (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome):  the "Stone that crushes him," crushes all four - see Dan. 2:41-45]
[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:  and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
[8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

THE SECOND BEAST:  THE FALSE PROPHET

LIKE THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE PROMOTES THE ANTICHRIST!

[11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth (the Greek γῆ (gē), which is translated "country" in Mt. 9:31; Acts 7:3; Heb. 11:9 - I believe it is "The Land," Israel); and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.  [Note:  Just a crazy thought:  The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is VAV (V), so six, six, six, is the same as VVV.  Because the German Theologians seemed to be bent on misinterpreting God's Word, to them, VVV is WWW!  Could it have something to do with the World-Wide Web?]

REGARDLESS OF THE INTERPRETATION - JESUS CHRIST WINS!!!
