Revelation 13:11 Beast from the earth: Part 2
This is a continuation Bible study on the verse below.
"Revelation 13:11 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."
another beast:
This is beast is connected to the prophetic details of Daniel 7. Exodus 22 is connected to Luke 16:2, 2 Corinthians 10:6, Revelation 17:17.
"Exodus 22:5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution."
Devour in a literal sense means to kill like a lion that eats its prey. Since man is beast and beast is man, the prey are people. The spiritual meaning is destruction of people's souls and faith that eventually sends people to hell (eternal death). All flesh (people not born again in the Holy Spirit) are devoured/destroyed (Isaiah 1).
"Daniel 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."
Ribs: This tells exactly who the beast/beasts are.
"Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;"
"Isaiah 1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment."
"Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
"Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
"Deuteronomy 32:33-34 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?"
"Daniel 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."
This clue leads to this verse: "Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"
This beast is also worldwide collective group of antichrists that is also called a kingdom. Until Jesus Christ returns, at his God appointed time, we will live in some type of beast kingdom (third or fourth).
coming up out:
Camels and other related animals (beasts) refer to antichrists.
"Genesis 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming."
"Exodus 9:3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain."
"Isaiah 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them."
Coming up out of also refers to the Lord Jesus being baptized in water and being baptized with the Holy Spirit also. The beast of this verse comes out of the earth which means that they are not anointed with the Holy Spirit!
"Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:"
coming up:
"Isaiah 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations."
Other verses of this chapter:
"Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
"Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:"
"Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
"Isaiah 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
Isaiah 14 literally is talking about Lucifer, who is Satan, the devil, the dragon, beast from the sea. Isaiah 14 is spiritually talking about Satan's followers as well.
"Genesis 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him."
"Genesis 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way."
"Joshua 8:14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city."
"Daniel 3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king."
Genesis 18:16 = Revelation 18:16
"Genesis 18:16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way."
"Jeremiah 50:9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain."
"Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."
Mystery Babylon houses the beast/beasts from the earth.
"Revelation 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!"
"Revelation 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."
Remember, the devil masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
"Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."
"Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,"
"Mark 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid."
"Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?"
"Mark 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;"
"Acts 11:20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus."
In conclusion, beast/beasts from the earth are none other than Satan and his antichrist followers. They are delivered from demons/devils but are not anointed with the Holy Spirit; Jesus healed based on compassion and as signs and wonders for unbelievers (Luke 8:36-40). Yet, they never have the level of faith in Jesus that is pleasing to God (Hebrews 11), so they never get baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire (Matt. 3:11, Luke 3:16). They make Satan, other fallen angels, demons/devils, and antichrist men their gods and father instead of God; they make a man their father, prophet, priest, and king instead of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is why Jesus said this: "John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham."
Works of Abraham: "Hebrews 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
