"THE NAME OF NOT ONE OF THEM STANDS WRITTEN IN THE SCROLL OF LIFE". (Rev 13:8).

THEN I SAW ANOTHER BEAST". (13:11 NEB).
Whoever worships or is a member of the political "wild beast", also worships the "dragon" satan. (13:4). From Medieval times, the establishment of satanic authority on earth increased greatly after the inception of mercantile and trade gilds and by the international trade that grew "out of the sea" (13:1) though the import of goods and merchandise from overseas, which sustain commercial "Babylon".

In Britain, founder members of the "wild beast" included lords of manors (boroughs), bishops and abbots, ruling over their territories; a select few ruling over the majority, their slave inhabitants. Their powers stemmed from municipal rights and privileges accorded them by laws instituted to safeguard them, receiving the "mark" of the "wild beast" for the extension of boundaries by the authority of satan. At that time only burgesses were allowed to "buy or sell" under their arrangements. (13:17).

The authority of sectarian religions also originates from the same satanic source, and in Britain they are still involved in parliamentary and legislative institutions. Although the political authorities of each nation compel their inhabitants to receive the "mark" of the "beast", they cannot persuade God's beloved people to worship it. Sadly, the majority of mankind do worship it. (13:15,16). They therefore worship the source of its power, satan. This is proof of their wilful refusal to worship the Lifegiver, Almighty God.

"And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon. And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed. And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind. And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived." (13:11-14).

The photograph below shows how "another beast" with "two horns like a lamb" performed in the sight of the "wild beast", and how it made "fire come down out of heaven to the earth".

"AND IT HAD TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB".
