The image of the beast is clearly mass media. John said it was a picture that speaks, the kind of description someone from ancient times would say if they saw a television screen.

It was created to lull the church and humanity to sleep, but will be used to enforce mandatory worship when the antichrist is revealed:

Kind of like today, convincing (trying to convince) everyone viewing to cover their faces, etc , to "do" what the world government says,

not even considering how silly and how wrong it has been shown to be so many times in our lives,

and admitting daily that the masks don't really work.... often in the same televised news saying how nice it is that someone is donating thousands or millions of masks...

Rev_13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

well then if the media is the image that speaks, which it is, then the rest of this verse applies, correct?

rather then the usual religious connotations of worship what is worship? or true worship? Jesus says God would have us worship in Sprit and Truth, therefore walk in His Spirit and honor and believe and trust the Truth (Word of God)

so physically bowing means nothing. and believing and trusting the media to the point where officials enforce it is what?

but in this case of this virus its out of fear and not respecting the fear of the fearful makes the fearful victims, doesn't it? media got a big step to the goal this time around.

keep in mind some time ago when trump and the media was going back and forth the media bragged they where in well over 100 countries.

Well, I see the elephant, but only two blind men so far. And instead of having two attributes (one attribute per person) as in the original story, BOTH are all reporting the SAME attribute.


It might help if a person understood what the BEAST IS, and then figure out what the IMAGE OF THE BEAST represents. -- Go from the SIMPLE to the COMPLEX. -- Nah, it's more fun making silly guesses.


Need more blind men.
