The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

[Hobie]

We see the corruption everywhere, all the way to the highest office in America.. Republicans call flying LGBTQ pride flag at White House a 'disgrace' and 'shameful' with a fight forming over the foundational pillars and laws of our country, and this same power taking the lead in the new world order forming.. War in Ukraine defining new world order, says thinktank.

With the turmoil we see now in America we now can see how the path for the emergence of the image of the beast is forming and how its is is being laid out. So we need to go and look at more closely at what this entails and how it acts in terms of the end times. So what does Revelation mean by the expression “the image of the beast”? Lets look in Rev 13 to begin..

Revelation 13:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Revelation 13:11-15 King James Version (KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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.

This shows the beast of Revelation and depicts the attempt of an unholy trinity to counteract God’s goal for the plan of salvation. Which essentially is the restoration of 'image' of God in human beings as it was at Creation. We see this evil entity try to subvert Gods plan in the last days by creating the image of the beast on Earth. The image of the beast is an end time entity, comprised of a community of people who reflect the character of the dragon, and has religious-economic-political power to impose false worship on Earth. We see the corruption it brings which is the end time Babylon the Great of Revelation 17-18, and the image of the beast is best identified with this entity.

The image of the beast is basically an institution and procedures which will duplicate the form and behavior of the beast power in Revelation 13. It will convince many that its words and purpose are true despite not being in full harmony with Scripture and will persuade the people of the earth, believers and non-believers, to follow the religious-political power which is the beast. The lamblike beast will also begin speaking like a dragon and exercising the power of the beast, showing that it will become as intolerant especially in setting aside of laws and foundational liberties. This results in people receiving the mark of the beast which is by following it in its false practices of worship, which is really worship of the Beast, and corruption of Gods Holy Day of worship. Lets look at the Revelation 14...

Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The fall of America is also the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power, the image of the beast. Think about it.

 

[GRACE ambassador]

We see the corruption everywhere, all the way to the highest office in America...

Yes, According To The Scriptures To The Body Of Christ, Under Grace, Today:

2Ti_3:13 "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse​

and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."​

​

Today, Salvation is belief in The LORD Jesus Christ, In His Precious BLOOD,
and Resurrection! God's Simple Will! FurtherMore, This Dispensation Ends With:

God's Great GRACE Departure! (Romans - Philemon)

...The fall of America is also the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power, the image of the beast. Think about it.

Yes, have thought about, and studied it, and even Rightly Divided it:

God's Context Of Mystery and The Gospel Of Grace (see above comment)

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From Things That Differ" (online)

God's Other Context of prophecy / covenants / law, including Great Tribulation For
Israel and the UNbelieving nations during "the image and Mark of the beast" -
salvation at 'that time' will be "accept Christ," OR "take the ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ (666 condemnation)"
(future According To Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation), after:

The Body Of Christ has Departed In God's Great GRACE Departure!

Much More to think about. Amen?

Why do you feel the need to write such a lengthy post in trying to defend the image of the beast must be an institution. I am perfectly content to accept what Scripture says as written and that the image will be just that! an image or statue, that the false prophet will cause to speak.

The corruption we see around us is leading the world to the end times and preparing them for the great deception God will send. but the mark of teh beast will be a visible mark on people and the image of the beast will be an image or statue! It may be something else, but until the times arrive, to try to allegorize and reinterpret the Scriptures on it, is very unwise.

The image must reflect the beast and its power, the just look in history and see how it shows how the western civilization was overshadowed by the Papal fiat or "let it be done". We are seeing the whole world beginning to follow one power, the United States and its new world over, much like Papal Rome in the Middle Ages and the anyone standing up to it being 'punished' or excommunicated. We see it today being done through embargoes and sanctions, and financial penalties and more...

What are the sanctions on Russia and have they affected its economy?

Over the past two years, Western nations have imposed sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine.

I take it you do not look at the news much. Nor have heard about BRICS and how it is dumping the dollar and authority of the US as well as at least 60 other nations. THE NWO is not a creation of the US but of the real powers that be on the human level. The US is a big player but the power goes far beyond one nation.

YOu are doing newspaper exegesis and letting potentials of today forced into the Scriptures and adjust the Scriptures allegorically to fit todays headlines. this is a common error but error nonetheless.

The mark is a physical mark, the image is a constructed image and the false prophet will make it alive and order all to take the mark!

It is the mark of one who willingly worships the Antichrist (a man) as Savior and Lord instead of Jesus. This will not take place until around the mid point of the 70th week of Daniel.

No, the image is a power on earth that is forcing the nations to follow the antichrist entity which is Babylon, the apostate church which has been with us and putting forth its power since the end of the Roman Empire through the Dark Ages and still with us today. The 'man' is the Pope who leads the Papal power and they have worked hard at getting their men (and women) in leadership position, and we see it in play..

And one of the ways is to bring about consensus using the terror created by pandemics, war, climate change etc.. and bring about this NWO..

"A new world order seeks to prioritize security and climate change​

Policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic have come to the conclusion that national security and climate change must now come first. In Brussels talk is of “economic security” and “strategic autonomy”—policymakers want the bloc to be able to chart its own course. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, recently said that she wants to “derisk” relations with China. Officials in Washington have similar ambitions. They believe that the old world order allowed America’s industrial base to wither, created economic dependencies that could be exploited for geopolitical gain, left the climate crisis unaddressed and increased inequality in a manner that undermined democracy." A new world order seeks to prioritise security and climate change..

Terror is the tool that evil uses and we see it in political and religious entities in their hold over the people and stay in power, and we see it openly being used today.
"Why the Nazis were able to stay in power
The Nazis crushed opposition through legal moves, fear and intimidation. Propaganda and social control kept the population in line. Popular economic and foreign policies encouraged widespread support...
Special 'People's Courts' made sure that opponents of the Nazis charged with treason were found guilty, even if there was little or no evidence.
Judges had to swear an oath of loyalty to the Nazis. This gave the Nazis greater power over the sentencing of political enemies and those deemed to be criminals.."

Very true. And to learn what the image is like and how it is formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself, which corrupted the early church soon after Christ and the apostles. We see the Apostate Church in what history calls the 'Great Apostasy', because the church at Rome used terror of the stake or persecution to change the doctrines of the early church and allowed traditional pagan ideas and doctrines (pagan mysteries, deities of solar monism such as Mithras and Sol Invictus, pagan festivals and Mithraic sun worship and idol worship) into the church on its own perception of authority.

When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost much more than truth and power of God. It lost its way and the result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of “heresy.”

And in order for the United States to form an image of the beast, this religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. This is what we are seeing today in America, and it is wielding its full force against any who stand in its way outdistancing our constitutional principals and soon our freedoms, religious or otherwise.

It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy—the beast. Said Paul: “There” shall “come a falling away, . . . and that man of sin be revealed.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3, KJV. So apostasy as we see today has prepared the way for the image to the beast.

The Bible tells us.. “In the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

 

[Reggie Belafonte]

Our Government leadership in the West is full of Satanist and queers and they promote such in fact, not to mention demand such of everyone in fact.

Now i have some regard to some gays issues that may be valid but i do not swallow everything they peddle at all, but that makes me an enemy of the State according to the Governments of today's world, even Putin went against this all embracing depravity and stopped at the point regarding children being groomed by such degenerates and the West Governments went and turned against Putin for not being on the same decay.

Putin stood up to the Satanic West powers on that subject, as to children being subjected to such deranged depravity, he stood in and stopped such by Law. but as to the age that is of consent queers are free in Putin's Russia, but that is not enough for the West who demands total depravity but Putin is the only one who had the guts to stand up to all of the creeps that are undermining children.

Communist Russia had went down the same path that the West is heading, Putin said this years ago ! and that Russia learn all this the hard way, they understand the total depravity of Socialism is a cancer !
For only depraved people want to dictate over the people and so it's if they can make the children depraved like Nazi Germany did ! that's the key to their game. Such is It's a different tactic ? but the same old game that's at play ! But it's The intent is the same ! creating a type of army of fools.

So we now have a whole generation of totally brainwashed younger people, who's only thing that they learnt was Gay rights were at the highest priority, that is totally above everything, nothing comes higher regards not even God ! for this is their god !

Nowadays if one objects to children being brainwashed by depravity, you will come under fire from the MSM the Governments and all the morons !

We are living under Nazi type morons who do not respect others opinions at all and that is the Key problem that is at hand in the West, for we are being dictated over in fact !
But we once valued other peoples opinions or the right to say any such even if you thought them wrong ! That was when we once had pride in real freedom free from Nazi or Communist rubbish dominating over everyone like a total moron.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Revelation 13:11-15 King James Version (KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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.

We see the corruption it brings which is the end time Babylon the Great of Revelation 17-18, and the image of the beast is best identified with this entity.

The image of the beast is basically an institution and procedures which will duplicate the form and behavior of the beast power in Revelation 13. It will convince many that its words and purpose are true despite not being in full harmony with Scripture and will persuade the people of the earth, believers and non-believers, to follow the religious-political power which is the beast. The lamblike beast will also begin speaking like a dragon and exercising the power of the beast, showing that it will become as intolerant especially in setting aside of laws and foundational liberties.

The fall of America is also the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power, the image of the beast. Think about it.

They have no right to fly that banner at our White House.

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The fall of America is also the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power, the image of the beast. Think about it.

Revelation 13
7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Nobody can stop it!

No, the image is a power on earth that is forcing the nations to follow the antichrist entity which is Babylon, the apostate church which has been with us and putting forth its power since the end of the Roman Empire through the Dark Ages and still with us today. The 'man' is the Pope who leads the Papal power and they have worked hard at getting their men (and women) in leadership position, and we see it in play..

So you believe the image of the beast (and therefore the beast) has been around since about teh fourth century? do you believe the mark has also been around? what is that mark?

You seem to be confused, when did America come into its own, have you ever heard of 1776, need to read your history... Milestones: 1776–1783 - Office of the Historian

Now the in the original Beast of Revelation, the dragon (Satan) gave the beast its power, throne and great authority. The church not only became corrupt but also lost sight of her mission, which was to take the gospel to all the world in preparation for the return of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. Instead the church herself under Papal Rome became so political, built herself into a wealthy institution and aimed to rule the entire world under its power. What are we seeing today under the image... Op-ed: A new world order is emerging — and the world is not ready for it

Yes, we are seeing it.. What is the ‘New World Order’ and why has Joe Biden caused uproar by mentioning it?

 

[Jay Ross]

What is being observed today around the world is the manifestations of the influence of the four winds of heaven, i.e., the beastly fallen heavenly hosts, that are stirring up the sea of humanity at this present time as they blow across the waters.

Scripture tells us that they will be removed for a determined period of time, in our near future, so that the earth can have rest from them.

It was you who claimed the papal church in the 4th century was "the man".

I do know about 1776 thank you very much.

right now the papal church does not control America nor does any other church.

The Image of Gold​

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was [a]sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 3 So the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered together for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then a herald cried [b]aloud: “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up; 6 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”

7 So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
===============
Image worship Satan has done before. And is very similar to the NT image, but the NT image of the beast is done with all power, signs and lying wonders, so orders of magnitude above Nebuchadnezzar's image of gold.

This is something the people of the time Revelation was written would be thinking of as an image.

Satan also has lying wonders, false miracles. that are done. The image could be such a thing that appears alive. It could even be projected so all the world can see the image in the air worldwide.
The image is given life (breath) and talks. It is of course a lying wonder, it does not really live.
---------------------------------------------------------
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Revelation 13:15
He was granted power to give breath to 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 to be killed.

 

[Keiw]

We see the corruption everywhere, all the way to the highest office in America.. Republicans call flying LGBTQ pride flag at White House a 'disgrace' and 'shameful' with a fight forming over the foundational pillars and laws of our country, and this same power taking the lead in the new world order forming.. War in Ukraine defining new world order, says thinktank.

With the turmoil we see now in America we now can see how the path for the emergence of the image of the beast is forming and how its is is being laid out. So we need to go and look at more closely at what this entails and how it acts in terms of the end times. So what does Revelation mean by the expression “the image of the beast”? Lets look in Rev 13 to begin..

Revelation 13:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Revelation 13:11-15 King James Version (KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
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.

This shows the beast of Revelation and depicts the attempt of an unholy trinity to counteract God’s goal for the plan of salvation. Which essentially is the restoration of 'image' of God in human beings as it was at Creation. We see this evil entity try to subvert Gods plan in the last days by creating the image of the beast on Earth. The image of the beast is an end time entity, comprised of a community of people who reflect the character of the dragon, and has religious-economic-political power to impose false worship on Earth. We see the corruption it brings which is the end time Babylon the Great of Revelation 17-18, and the image of the beast is best identified with this entity.

The image of the beast is basically an institution and procedures which will duplicate the form and behavior of the beast power in Revelation 13. It will convince many that its words and purpose are true despite not being in full harmony with Scripture and will persuade the people of the earth, believers and non-believers, to follow the religious-political power which is the beast. The lamblike beast will also begin speaking like a dragon and exercising the power of the beast, showing that it will become as intolerant especially in setting aside of laws and foundational liberties. This results in people receiving the mark of the beast which is by following it in its false practices of worship, which is really worship of the Beast, and corruption of Gods Holy Day of worship. Lets look at the Revelation 14...

Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The fall of America is also the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power, the image of the beast. Think about it.

Every govt on earth belongs to satan. He controls them, they are all corrupt to the core. Jesus will wipe everyone of them off of Gods earth( Dan 2:44)- Did you miss Rev 16? Every kingdom( govt, armies, supporters) will be mislead tostand in opposition to Jesus. They are now as well.= 99% on earth.
The image of the beast will look good to the mortal heart. It does now.

 

[MatthewG]

Human beings are corrupt.

The solution is Jesus. They put him to death, and told Pilate "let his blood be our hands and our childrens hands."


My flesh is selfish and greedy, and loves to be acknowledged, and loves to look at women - but nothing I ever do by my flesh is good no matter how just I can be.

There is only goodness that comes from above by the spirit in and through Christ in those who are baptised in the holy spirit and fire, it's Christ that does the good in and through us, the flesh is naturally corrupted, it dies and goes into the grave. The part of us which is raised up by Jesus is judged and assessed and given the reward given by God a spiritual body, be it condemned, or life, or better than the normal resurrection.

How you spend your life is up to you, but you'll never do good in the sense of ever paying off your own sins, trust Jesus Christ the son of God for that.
you will never find more favor and respect with God in the sense of you ever being better than another person, God is not a respecter of persons.

give God the glory, and be thankful for what life you are given now, rather than being bitter and angry, Jesus did so much for not only you but all of the world.

7 So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Revelation 13:15
He was granted power to give breath to 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 to be killed.

Satan has no power to give life/breath or being to any person. However, he does have the power to manifest political life to steer, persuade and deceive the world through the kingdoms of men.

The BEAST is, and shall be, a "Global Economic Empire" that has never been before among men. The image of that beast, the enforcer, is the UN.

To worship anything, is to comply with the will of HOW one is to worship/give allegiance to that will.
The proof of obedience to the will of the UN, is to take the mark of the beast, which is economic. Without it, no man can buy or sell.

So now, the question is: what "other" beast kingdom, among men, has coerced, guided and led the people of the world to form the image to the beast?
We all do know the answer: it has two horns.

Horns are symbolic of the forms of government that operate and have control within a beast. Dan. 8:3 is a prime example of that, being the two forms of government within the Medio-Persian empire, symbolized as a Ram.
