Image of the Beast

Book Cover & Preview Text
Revelation 13:15-18 “And the beast had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causes them to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads. And no man might buy or sell, but that he had the mark, or name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And his number is 666.”
This image of the beast has been thought to be a statue or a likeness of whom they are to worship, as this beast is Satan who is spirit and cannot be seen. But this cannot be. And he also gives life to the image of the beast. This also cannot be, as only God can give life.
The original Greek mistranslated life from the word “pneuma” which never means life, but breath. The proper translation is “And the beast had the power to give breath” (or the words to speak). This image is man who takes the number and name of the beast. These men as the image of the beast are not to worship themselves, but to worship antichrist in whom Satan indwells at this time, as this antichrist is also the image of the beast; so they are worshiping Satan. Rev. 13:11 defines him as “He has two horns as a lamb, but speaks as a dragon”. This is the same man in 2nd Thes. 2:4 who “as God, demands worship as God.”

About the Book
A Christian is defined as one who believes the Word of God. Adhering to this simple standard sends one into a journey of prophetic understanding. Rev. 19:10 states, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy.” Every prophetic event involves understanding and having a greater knowledge of the heart of God as revealed in his son. The world finds the preaching of the cross foolishness, but to be saved, it is the power of God. How can this be that my Savior would die for me? This is beyond comprehension.
This book is about God and what he wants for man. It is not about what man must do for God. He sent his son to die for man, and this is the only way that man can receive what God desires for him.
The readers will find amazing prophetic events that are all so simply told and verified with understanding that will all be pointing to the purpose for which mankind was created.
