Satan Has the Power to Deceive

Revelations 13

The Image of the BeastBeast coming up from the seaSee also: (Daniel 7:3-5)

Sea of Humanity

Dragon--Satan

Crown= power over the Kingdom

Characteristics of a Beast:

Murderers, corrupt, carnivorous, and brutal in their dispositions

Revelation 13:1

7= complete, fullness of evil

10= Power, but incomplete, just short of 12 (Authority)

Note: At first glance the image is that of the dragon, but there is a difference. This beast has 10 crowns placed upon its horns not his heads. The beast’s crowns suggest that its power rests upon brute force. The beast actually has less power than the dragon.

Beasts of Prey

Revelation 13:2

However

The Beast gets approved power from us

Changing our Hearts

How do you kill the Beast?

Alma 5:7

By changing our hearts so the beast has no more power over us.

Revelation 13:3

The Majority of the world will admire and desire wickedness in the last

days.

Admiration and WorshipThis gives power to the Beast

Satan gives the beast his power and authority just as the Father does the Son.

Revelation 13:4

Not only does the beast wear the name of blasphemy upon its heads, but it pretends to be God for the unseeing world.

Admiration of:CrudenessFilthCrueltyViolenceSexual immoralityDisloyalty to commitmentsUnfaithfulnessPolitical corruption

http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=8QkNuR42E_jwfM&tbnid=nak2pV_hNwHC7M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http://imgur.com/ar15C&ei=7sB5UbDFJOHV2QW4xICQBA&psig=AFQjCNFdi2KqAOn8chMLKvPCJUSrVLBnRw&ust=1367020097166823

Temporary VictorySince the beast receives power from Satan and Satan is restricted by God, the beast is actually allowed to do his work within bounds God has set.

Revelation 13:5

God uses the beast in his own grand strategy.

Worship

Worship God of War and force

Revelation 13:6-7

Or

Inviting a God of Peace and gentleness?

Satan and followers will mock God and all that is sacred.
