Chapter
13 of the Book of Revelation
is
to many folks one of the scariest
and
most misunderstood chapters in all the Bible.
Why?
Well,
the main reason is that people
(including
preachers and ministers)
who
are unfamiliar with the Word of God and the plan of God try to interpret
what it says.
Since
they are completely unfamiliar with the symbology used
to
create a PICTURE to make things clearer and illustrate what's happening,
they
must make up stories out of their own imaginations
to
try and explain that which completely baffles them.
And
that's really scary,
for
that which one who claims to be a teacher or preacher says to God's children,
affects
their very lives and even their souls.
It is a serious matter.
But
for those who do have eyes to see and ears to hear,
who
are familiar with God's Word this chapter is easy,
as
you will see,
because
we have seen and read of it all before.
As
an overview, you will encounter two "beasts" in this chapter,
the
descriptions of which will give us a PICTURE of the Political and Religious
systems,
two
of the Four Hidden Dynasties, in their full flourishing,
that
Satan uses to deceive the whole world.
It's really just that simple!
Enjoy it.
