The Terrible Trio - evil trinity
Revelation 12–13 introduces us to the three key characters in the drama of the last half of the Tribulation: Satan the dragon, the false Christ, and the false prophet.
These three are, in a sense, an evil trinity, opposing the true God and His people on earth.
While these events will be of special significance to God’s people at that time, the message of these two chapters can encourage suffering saints during any age.
In the first half of this chapter 13 we have the dragon standing on the seashore, the the beast coming out of the sea
Much similar visions given to the prophet Daniel
key points from the first part of this chapter is
SLIDE 3
CHAPTER 13 (1ST HALF)
Dragon gives authority to the beast
Dragon was worshipped for this
The beast speaks blasphemies against God
Makes war with the saints
We have had the dragon, the beast from the sea and now the beast from the earth
Let’s look at Revelation 13 verses 11-14
SLIDE 4
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon.
SLIDE 5
12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
SLIDE 6
13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.
SLIDE 7
14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.
The dragon or Satan is the counterfeit Father (“I will be like the Most High”), “the beast” is the counterfeit Christ, and the false prophet is the counterfeit Holy Spirit. This completes the satanic trinity.
One of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ and lead people to trust and worship Him (John 16:7–15). The false prophet will point to Antichrist and his image and compel people to worship Satan through “the beast.”
SLIDE 8
15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
SLIDE 9
16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
SLIDE 10
17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
SLIDE 11
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
WORSHIP TEAM COME
I was asking myself and the Lord this question
What protects a nation from destruction?
The answer I got was, “worship the Lord and not idols”
The Lord is wanting to protect us through this message today to keep our worship to Him very vital and important in our lives, hold it steadfast and keep it secure in our hearts
Look at this also written by John before Revelation
SLIDE 12
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
Resisting the world and worshipping God is incredible powerful
The key is to recognize the deceit of the world
The power of The Holy Spirit in accordance with God’s word and worship is our greatest defense
Good news is next week we get to see the Lamb with the saints on Mt Zion
