THE GENUINESS OF JESUS AS HE IS
COUNTERFEITED BY THE BEAST FROM THE PIT.
Revelation 13
Part 3
LETS JUST WORSHIP OUR GOD
JESUS IMITATED BY THE ANTICHRIST
MEET THE BEAST. AS WE EXAMINE
The person of the Antichrist, drawn in the words of the apostle John— and see him whose
cause is not only to be “anti-”(opposed), but also “anti-” (the exact inverse of)
Christ Jesus the Lord of Glory.
Now what is the counterfeit of Satan imitating?
1. HIS FALSE AUTHORITY (the “beast”) Rev 12:17 – 13:2 is imitating the Kingdom of God, the King of Kings,
the Lord of Lords, the Creator.
Rev 12:17 to 13:2
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep
the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(Rev 13:1-2) 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads
and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
2. HIS FALSE RESURRECTION (the “wonder”)Rev 13:3 – 5 is imitating the Prince of Life,
the first born from the dead, the empty tomb, the way, the truth and the only hope.
(Rev 13:3-5) 3And 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.
3. HIS FALSE CITIZENSHIP (the “earth dwellers”) Rev 13:6 – 10 is imitating the wonders
of our Father’s house He is preparing, The Heavenly City, the streets of gold, the
Water of Life and God with us.
Rev 13:6 – 10 6And 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.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven,
from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus.
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
4. HIS FALSE WORSHIP OR RELIGION (the “earth” worship) Rev 13:11-15, is imitating the
true worship of the living and true God in spirit and in truth, not self-styled but
Biblical.
Rev 13:11-15
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.
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.
5. HIS FALSE SECURITY (the “mark”) Rev 13:16-18, is imitating the sealing by the holy spirit
of those in the Book of Life, betrothed to Christ, His very bride, kept and protected by
the power of God unto salvation.
Rev 13:16-18
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.
Either the beautiful God of the Universe or the beast!
Which will it be?
You must choose.
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
