Revelation 13 — The Beast’s Mockery of God

This is the war of the dragon against the followers of Christ — to gather up the economic, political, and religious systems of the world and to clothe them in images and symbols that appear to point to Jesus and look like God’s rightful authority. But this false lamb speaks with the voice of the dragon, and his intention is not to make worshippers of God, but instead to turn the hearts of all people away from God and toward himself.
