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

THEN I SAW ANOTHER BEAST". (Rev 13:11 NEB).
Whoever worships or is a member of the political "wild beast" also worships the "dragon" satan. (13:4). In the Late Middle Ages, satanic authority of the "wild beast" was greatly increased with the inception of mercantile and trade gilds and the growth of international trade "out of the sea" through the import of goods and merchandise from overseas; which sustains commercial "Babylon". (13:1. 18:11-19).

In Britain, founder members of the "wild beast" included lords of manors controlling estates, and burgesses monopolising trade within town boroughs 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. By the authority of satan, they received the "mark" of the "wild beast" for having extended boundaries. Under their arrangements, only burgesses were allowed to "buy or sell". (13:17).

The authority of sectarian religions also originates from the same satanic source, and in Britain sectarian leaders are still involved in parliamentary and legislative institutions. Although the political authorities of each nation compel their inhabitants to receive the "mark" of the "wild beast", they cannot persuade beloved people of God 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 their 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 shows how "another wild beast" with "two horns like a lamb" performed in the sight of the "first wild beast" by making "fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind."

"AND IT HAD TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB".
