Bobservations Column - "The False Prophet"

The second beast in Revelation chapter 13 represents the False Prophet. The first beast represented the Antichrist whose focus will be politics, while the second beast, the False Prophet, will emphasis religion. In the absence of the Church and the Holy Spirit, the unholy trinity will commit blasphemy against the Lord continuously and will establish the Antichrist's system, a one world system that will raise up the Antichrist as the false Messiah. The False Prophet will lead people to worship the Antichrist and to accept the Mark of the Beast. This blasphemous trio, Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, will control every aspect of the world, but only for a limited time.
