Daily Lesson for Thursday 13th of June 2024
Read Revelation 13:1-18:11-18. How does this second beast differ from the first beast of Revelation 13:1-18?
The first beast rose out of the sea; the second beast comes “up out of the earth” (Revelation 13:11, NKJV). The sea represents “peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues” (Revelation 17:15, NKJV).

The earth, then, represents a sparsely populated area of the world. This second beast arises near the close of the prophetic period during which the first beast exercises authority (Revelation 13:5). That is, it rises to prominence around a.d. 1798.
The United States precisely fits this description. It declared its independence in a.d. 1776, adopted its constitution in a.d. 1789, and was recognized as a world power by the late nineteenth century.
John continues, “He had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon” (Revelation 13:11, NKJV). Horns in Bible prophecy symbolize power. Unlike the first beast, this beast has no crowns on its horns, suggesting it is not a monarchy. The two horns represent the two primary governing principles that are the source of the United States’ power and success—political and religious liberty.
Read Revelation 13:1-18:11, 12. What change do you see in this beast, and how does it speak?
This gentle, lamblike nation ultimately speaks like a dragon. It exercises “all the authority of the first beast” (Revelation 13:12, NKJV) and abandons its principles of religious liberty, causing “the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast” (Revelation 13:12, NKJV). The United States will lead out in requiring everyone on earth to worship the first beast by recognizing the Papacy’s spiritual and secular authority. According to this prophecy, the United States forms an image to the beast—a union of church and state—and it will require everyone to worship this image.
What’s fascinating is that at the time when first identified as this beast power, the United States was nowhere near the military and economic behemoth it was to become and remains now.
Think about the political instability in America today. How might that one day lead to the fulfillment of this prophecy?

by Mark Johnson | 11 June 2024 | Our church is trapped in a happy-place time-warp bubble. Happy places are dreamlands, wonderlands, sanctuaries of peace and pleasure. Thinking about them makes you feel cheerful and contented. They’re usually located inside your head. Time warps are imaginary distortions of space and time. In theory, they allow […] Source: https://atoday.org/twenty-eight-is-twenty-seven-too-many/
