Revelation 13:11-15, “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
The Book of Revelations refers to the False Prophet as the second Beast of Satans unholy trinity ( represented with Satan as God, the AntiChrist as Jesus and the False Prophet as the Holy Spirit), as revealed by John the Revelator. In the Devils last effort to deceive Humanity, He will counterfeit a false Christ just as God sent the true Messiah in a time past in Jesus Christ. And just as how John the Baptist paved the way for Jesus, the False Prophet will do the same for the AntiChrist.
The word “Earth,” described in verse 11, is symbolic of the False Prophet not being sent from God but from the world. The lamb like appearance is intended to deceive many into believing that He is innocent, but instead will be powered by Satan Himself. Satans Prophet will turn out to be blasphemous, as anonated by Him speaking as a dragon and greatly promoting the demonic AntiChrist as the Savior of the world. This same practice can be seen and heard in many Churches today who have placed their Faith in other things than the Cross of Christ, for the means of Salvation.
The Holy Bible states this man will not only having a persuasive tongue, but also have demonic powers as read in Revelations 13:13 which states, “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,” this will be achieved through Satan and His Fallen Angels. The “deadly wound,” spoken of from verse 12 will not be of a assassination attempt on the AntiChrist but rather represents a powerful fallen angel who helped bring the Grecian Empire into power under the rule of Alexander the Great and has been since locked away, and in this verse is loosed to aid the the False Christ in His world domanation.
This wound being “healed,” is speaking of this fallen angels release (Dan 7:6, Rev. 11:7, 13:2.) Though Revelation 13:14, does allude to the AntiChrist being wounded, “which had the wound by a sword, and did live,” which will be some type of mortal wound in which the AntiChrist will survive, giving Him the aura of being invincible and divinely anointed. The Word of God, does not exactly reveal who this False Prophet is but does allude to the fact that He will be some type of religious figure.
Maybe a Pastor or Minister, but I believe more or less that He will be a future Pope. Due to the fact that a Pope has both religious and Political ties to the world, which would have great influence in persuading the world in accepting the False Christ. This may be way Pope Benedict XVI, is urging Christians, Muslims and Jews to reconcile their diference to promote peace in the world (read:http: / / http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0601533.htm.) Whoever this individual turns out to be, always know that any true Minister, Pastor, of Apostle will only give credit to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ which is Him crucified. (1 Corinthians 1:23) Be attentive as we approach the last days, that no man deceive you . So that the one true God can keep you, only by your Faith being placed in Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Shalom…
