Revelation 13:11 False Prophet

Continuing my study of Revelation 13.

Revelation 13:11 ‘Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.’

The enemy has always lacked originality and he has constantly sought to manufacture a deceitful counterfeit of God’s person and workings.

This beast will later become known as the false prophet, but not until Revelation chapter sixteen. Possibly, this indicates that he will be working behind the scenes, allowing the antichrist to take central stage.

An unholy liaison, or trinity, is being formed between Satan and the antichrist, with the false prophet taking third place. They therefore seek to imitate the Holy Trinity. The false prophet will be an imitation of the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 16:13 ‘Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the false prophet.’

This is a demonic and hideous trinity if ever there was one.

Revelation 13:11 ‘Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb but he spoke like a dragon.

The false prophet may well come with a gentle appearance that will cover an inner demonic hatred.

Jesus has clearly warned us in advance.

Matthew 7:15 ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognise them.’

Over the years, many false prophets have sneaked their way onto the scene and caused confusion and havoc but none will compare with this end-time false prophet. He will work alongside the antichrist to create untold deception and falsehood in the last days.

Discernment will be the essential!

Thank you for reading this…

Revelation 22:20 Our cherished hope
There will be a unity of heart when everyone calls out for his glorious return. There will be a spirit of grace upon God’s people that will bring us all together in unity and brotherhood.
Revelation 22:16 God’s Word
No-one has a monopoly on the truths of this magnificent book, and we will all have our struggles and misunderstandings on our journey, but God is demanding that we treat Revelation with the utmost respect that it deserves. The truths that were sealed in Daniel’s time will be opened up according to God’s direction. This will need purified and refined souls to understand and teach, in the midst of immense confusion and mistruths. Please pray for those who are called to understand and teach.
Revelation 22:11 In or Out…
Even at this late stage, a reference to the polarity of mankind, between the righteous and the unrighteous. One thinks of Noah’s Ark, and the obedient who were safe inside and those who chose to ignore Noah’s call for righteousness and stayed outside.
Revelation 22:7 The time is near indeed
Having taken us to the very highest of heights, surveying the Holy City that is beautiful beyond words, John brings us back to our ordinary lives, waiting with a cherished expectation for our Lord to return and keeping the words of this prophecy, with all its encouragements, admonishments and warnings.
Revelation 22:3 No longer any curse
Peter praised his contemporaries for their faith in Christ Jesus although they had never met him in real life and had only heard of him through Peter. Imagine though, what it will feel like, approaching the throne and gazing into the eyes of the Divine, to reach out and touch the very hem of his garment. It will be beyond belief…
