Revelation Chapter 13
IN THIS LESSON
Unlike the first monster, which rises from the sea, the second monster emerges from the earth. It has two horns like those of a lamb but speaks like a dragon. Who is this monster? If this completes the Unholy Trinity—along with the dragon and the beast (which represents Rome)—who personifies the second monster in 1st-century Asia Minor and in today’s world?
