Revelation 13: The Antichrist, False Prophet, and Mark of the Beast (Ep. 320)

In today’s Sunday Bible Study, we dive into Revelation 13 and explore the rise of the beast and the false prophet, the satanic counterfeit to God’s order.Building on last week’s look at Revelation 12, I walk through the prophetic shift from history to tribulation, unpack the imagery of heads, horns, and crowns, and trace how scripture identifies the Antichrist, his deceptive power, global reach, blasphemy, and the infamous number 666.I also examine how the false prophet imitates the Holy Spirit by directing worship to the beast, performs signs to deceive, and sets the stage for the mark that controls buying and selling. Throughout, I emphasize discernment over fear, encourage anchoring in scripture, and clearly flag where I’m speculating versus teaching straight from the text.We compare passages across Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, the Gospels, Acts, and Revelation to build a coherent picture of end-times deception, false worship, and global control. I also address common cultural signals pointing toward one-world systems and warn listeners: whatever you do, don’t take the mark.  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz FOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
