As we continue in the Book of Revelation, we are still in Chapter 13 and looking at the perpetual uprisings of Satan. We have seen a “beast” that arose out of the sea; now we see a “beast” that rose out of the earth. This second beast is like the first, representing the historical cycle of the rise of wicked world rulers and powers that are influenced by Satan. Once again, we experience this here and now, but ultimately God will deliver us from all wickedness!
