(OPINION) Since the Dark Ages, the world has gone through a series of major epochs—the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Revolution, Russian Revolution, Atomic Age, and now the Great Reset Age.
But before moving into the next age, the Messianic Age—the time when Jesus Christ will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords—the Book of Revelation tells us that two “beasts” will appear.
The apostle John wrote in Revelation 13:1 that he “saw a beast rising up out of the sea” (NKJV). The sea is a metaphor used several times in Scripture to refer to Gentile nations. The apostle Paul described this figure as “the man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:3, NIV) while John called him the “Antichrist” (1 John 2:18, NKJV).
John also wrote of a second “beast” in Revelation 13:11: “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”
In Greek, the word for “earth” is ge, and one of the meanings of this word is the “mainland” as opposed to the sea. We also see it in Matthew 2:20 when the angel of the Lord told Joseph to “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land [ge] of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”
So, when John describes the second beast “rising out of the earth,” he’s talking about the second beast coming up out of the land of Israel.
“So, in opposition to the sea, where the Antichrist arises, which is a symbol of the nations, the second beast is going to rise out of the land of Israel,” says Lars Enarson, founder and president of The Watchman International ministry, whom I (Rev. Kevin Jessip) just visited on a trip to Israel to lay the groundwork for The Return Israel, the culmination of the repentance and revival movement that began on September 26, 2020, with The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance, an event held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and seen by tens of millions of people.
“It’s interesting because the second beast is the one who will operate in the full authority of the first beast, which is the Antichrist, but he is the one who will introduce the mark of the beast, which is the number 666, well known by most people.”
Is the World Primed for the Mark? In fact, the “mark of the beast,” or “666” (Rev. 13:18), is so well known that a recent John Zogby Strategies poll exploring technologies discussed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk and World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab revealed a surprising fact.

While I’m not sure who the anti-Christ is or when he’ll arrive, I do feel fairly sure I know who the *False Prophet* is, based on his behavior and what comes out of his mouth. That person would be the one-world-religion promoter and fake Pope Frankie, who currently inhabits the Vatican and will likely be the last Pope and be in power when the church is destroyed.
Interesting. If you believe there is a false prophet on earth, then you should believe that there are true prophets. Interesting as many suggest that there were not to be any more prophets after Christ. Remember that Christ taught how to discern a false prophet from a true prophet. Why do that if there were to be no more prophets after Christ.
I think Satan always has a man ready to become the antichrist if he’s given the power. Hitler was one such man. But given where we are in the Last Days, and how we can see things coming together for enough chaos to lead to a one world government, you have to think that the future antichrist is alive and an adult on planet earth
I believe the revealing of the anti-Christ will be on April 8, 2024.
This is the date of the next and best total solar eclipse for the continental united states for a long time.
Eclipses are always used by elites in their rituals. There is great symbolism in them.
April 8, 2024 is actually 6 6 6 in date. I figured this out myself, so if you say, “Show me a link!”, I can’t, I can only show you the math.
So on our calendar, the year of the eclipse is 2024. However, on the “Jewish” calendar, you have to add 3,760 or 3,761 years to the Gregorian calendar, depending on where in the year you are.
So, April 8, 2024 would be April 8, 5,784.
So, first when you think of calendar dates, you think “month, day”, and then, “year”, so April 8 is 4-8. 4+8 = 12, and it’s not hard to accept 12 as 2 6’s.
5+7+8+4 = 24. 4+2 = 6. When you’re talking numerology, this is as basic and simple as it gets.
So it’s like, RIDICULOUSLY possible that, considering the fact one could easily express 4/8/2024 as 6/6/6 knowing the actual year to be 5,784.
In fact, you mention Genesis 13:18, but it’s VERY important to know what Genesis 13:18 SAYS. I’m disappointed that you didn’t get into it…
Genesis 13:18 Says: “Here is wisdom, and whoever has a mind in him, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man – 666.”
So scripture literally tells us that, WHOEVER HAS A MIND IN HIM, LET HIM CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, it’s literally telling you there is something to figure out. I believe what they want you to figure out, is when the beast will officially “arrive”. I have pondered much on this verse.
It is the current Pope. Pay attention to what he has said and does.
