Revelation 13
The Beast out of the Sea
[sup]1[/sup] The dragon[sup][a][/sup] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. [sup]2[/sup] The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. [sup]3[/sup] One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. [sup]4[/sup] People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
I read something in the book of Jeremiah that made me think of this passage in Revelation. I don't really get into prophecy but I just figured I would ask here just to get it off my mind.
is it possible that the "fatal wound" could be a hopelessly failing, deficit-ed economy? and that the sudden revival of that economy is the "healing" that would cause people to be deceived into idolatry? :huh:
