Two beasts
Verses：Revelation 13:1 ~ 13:18
Key Verse：8. And all those dwelling on the earth will worship him, every one whose name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world.
Topic：Two beasts
Emphasis：The first beast with ten horns which comes up from the sea (verses 1) resembles the fourth beast mentioned in Daniel 7:19. Therefore, it is commonly believed that it is the Antichrist who will come in the future. The second beast comes from the earth; it is mentioned in chapter 16:13, 19:20 and 20:10, which is the False Prophet. The two beasts together will fight against the saints and even slay them.
Meditate：The persecution of believers from the red dragon in chapter 12 continues in chapter 13. Although it is fierce, the two witnesses mentioned in chapter 11 will fight against the beasts, as will those whose name are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
Prayer：Thanks to the Lord for enabling me to recognize Satan and his two followers. Please keep me away from being scared by their persecutions.
Hymn：631 If I’d know Christ’s risen power.
