Rev 13:11 | MHM | STEP | The Second Beast This section introduces the second beast that appears in John's vision. Some believe this beast stands for papal Rome, which promotes idolatry and tyranny in a gentler way than the first beast. Others think it represents the spiritual or religious power of the papacy, which hides behind religion and charity to deceive people. The main ideas are about this beast's appearance, its power, how it controls people, and the mystery behind the number 666. v. 11 : John saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon. This means the beast pretends to be gentle and religious like Christ, but its words and actions show its true, evil nature. The beast uses religion to deceive people, even though its real master is the dragon, or the devil (Revelation 13:11 ).

The Second Beast

This section introduces the second beast that appears in John's vision. Some believe this beast stands for papal Rome, which promotes idolatry and tyranny in a gentler way than the first beast. Others think it represents the spiritual or religious power of the papacy, which hides behind religion and charity to deceive people. The main ideas are about this beast's appearance, its power, how it controls people, and the mystery behind the number 666.

v. 11: John saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon. This means the beast pretends to be gentle and religious like Christ, but its words and actions show its true, evil nature. The beast uses religion to deceive people, even though its real master is the dragon, or the devil (Revelation 13:11 ^a).
