[sup]Revelation 13[/sup]
[sup]
[/sup]
[sup] 11[/sup] Then [sup](AD)[/sup]I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had [sup](AE)[/sup]two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a [sup](AF)[/sup]dragon.
[font="'Charis SIL"]This beast comes after the first beast with ten horns (kings) and seven heads (hills). The beast that was spoken about through Daniel and is to be there at the birth of Christ and is to send the Jews out into the nations [/font](Rev 12).
Then comes this beast. The beast is not from the Sea (which some take to means "multitudes of people / nations") but comes from the land(? - is this possibly to mean Abraham?)
[font="'Charis SIL"]
[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]
[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]It is the opinion of some Christians (just surf youtube) that this beast is Islam.[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]
[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]Reasoning is two horns like the Ram in Daniel represents two divisions of people (unlike the beast with ten horns where the horns = kings) could represent The two sects of Islam (Shiite & Sunni)[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]
[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]This beast is mentioned as being a forceful beast. There is a verse in Revelations which speaks of Christians being "beheaded" for the "Word".[/font]
[font="'Charis SIL"]There are multiple verses in the Quran which say to "strike the neck" of the infidel. Muslims also persecute the Bible and martyr many Christians in Muslims countries just because they own a Bible.[/font]
