Revelation 13 july 1 2012 sermon slides

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father
Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth, and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and
buried; He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from
the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and sits on the right
hand of God the Father
Almighty; from there he shall
come to judge the living and
the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit;
the one holy church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Chp. 1 Chp. 2-3 Chps. 4-22

Revelation 13

As Satan ramps up his attack
against God’s people, he brings
two key players onto his team . . .

Isaiah 14:13-14
You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to
heaven; above the stars of God. I will set
my throne on high; I will sit on the mount
of assembly in the far reaches of the
north; I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will make myself like the
Most High.’

The Unholy Trinity

Beast #1 – vv. 1-8
Beast #2 – vv. 11-18

The Unholy Trinity (Beast #1)

1. Is summoned by Satan

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 12:17
And he (the dragon) stood on the sand of
the sea.
Revelation 13:1
And I saw a beast rising out of the
sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with
ten diadems on its horns and
blasphemous names on its heads.


2. Is empowered by Satan

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:2
And the beast that I saw was like a
leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its
mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to
it the dragon gave his power and his
throne and great authority.


3. Is raised from the dead

Revelation 13:3a
One of its heads seemed to have a mortal
wound, but its mortal wound was healed.


4. Is worshipped by the world

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:3b-4
. . . and the whole earth marveled as they
followed the beast. And they worshiped
the dragon, for he had given his authority
to the beast, and they worshiped the
beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and
who can fight against it?”


5. Is opposed to God
- via words (vv. 5-6)

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:5-6
And the beast was given a mouth uttering
haughty and blasphemous words, and it
was allowed to exercise authority for forty-
two months. It opened its mouth to utter
blasphemies against God, blaspheming his
name and his dwelling, that is, those who
dwell in heaven.


- via words (vv. 5-6)
- via war (vv. 7-8)

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:7-8
Also it was allowed to make war on the
saints and to conquer them. And authority
was given it over every tribe and people and
language and nation, and all who dwell on
earth will worship it, everyone whose name
has not been written before the foundation
of the world in the book of life of the
Lamb who was slain.

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:9-10
If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
If anyone is to be taken captive, to
captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain
with the sword, with the sword must he
be slain. Here is a call for the endurance
and faith of the saints.

The Unholy Trinity (Beast #1 –
the Antichrist!)

1 John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour, and as you
have heard that antichrist is coming . . .

the Antichrist!)

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you in any way. For
that day will not come, unless the
rebellion comes first, and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the son of
destruction,

the Antichrist!)

2 Thessalonians 2:4
who opposes and exalts himself against
every so-called god or object of worship,
so that he takes his seat in the temple of
God, proclaiming himself to be God.

the Antichrist!)

In Satan’s unholy trinity … the antichrist
takes the place of God the Son.

“anti” = “opposite of” or “instead of”


1. Is also summoned by Satan

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:11
Then I saw another beast rising out of the
earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it
spoke like a dragon.


2. Is also empowered by Satan

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:12-13
It exercises all the authority of the first
beast in its presence, and makes the earth
and its inhabitants worship the first
beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It
performs great signs, even making fire
come down from heaven to earth in front
of people,

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:14
and by the signs that it is allowed to work
in the presence of the beast it deceives
those who dwell on earth, telling them to
make an image for the beast that was
wounded by the sword and yet lived.


2. Is also empowered by Satan
3. Is tasked to bring glory to the first
beast (the Antichrist)

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:15-16
And it was allowed to give breath to the
image of the beast, so that the image of the
beast might even speak and might cause
those who would not worship the image of
the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both
small and great, both rich and poor, both
free and slave, to be marked on the right
hand or the forehead,

The Unholy Trinity
Revelation 13:17-18
so that no one can buy or sell unless he
has the mark, that is, the name of the
beast or the number of its name. This
calls for wisdom: let the one who has
understanding calculate the number of
the beast, for it is the number of a man,
and his number is 666.

“Perhaps no detail in
Revelation has intrigued
people more than this
number. There has been no
end to the speculation as
to its significance and how
to calculate it. “
(John MacArthur)

The Unholy Trinity
“666”
The number seven is the number of
perfection … completion.

The number six falls one short. Therefore
many understand this number to be the
number of man.

The Unholy Trinity

Revelation 16:13
And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the
dragon and out of the mouth of the beast
and out of the mouth of the false
prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.

1. Even when Satan is at the
pinnacle of his power on earth, he is
still under God’s sovereign control!

The Unholy Trinity (Beast #1
– the Antichrist)
Revelation 13:5
And the beast was given a mouth uttering
haughty and blasphemous words, and it
was allowed to exercise authority
for forty-two months.

– the Antichrist)
Revelation 13:7
Also it was allowed to make war on the
saints and to conquer them. And
authority was given it over every tribe
and people and language and nation.

– the False Prophet)

Revelation 13:15
And it was allowed to give breath to the
image of the beast, so that the image of
the beast might even speak and might
cause those who would not worship the
image of the beast to be slain.

John 3:16
For God so loved the
world, that he gave his
only Son, that whoever
believes in him should
not perish but have
eternal life.

2. Be aware of Satan’s schemes!

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to stand against the
schemes of the devil.

What man sees as mighty and
powerful leaders to be followed,
applauded and even worshipped . . .

God sees as BEASTS!

2. Be aware of Satan’s schemes!
We must pray that God will help us to
see this life, the people in this life, the
things and activities in this life …
as HE sees them.
Only then will we be equipped to stand
against the schemes of the Enemy!
