Rev 13:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : The beast looked like a leopard, had feet like a bear, and a mouth like a lion. It had seven heads, ten horns, and on its heads were names of blasphemy. This terrible appearance reminds us of Daniel's vision where different beasts represented kingdoms. The combination of these traits shows the beast's fierceness, strength, and speed, as well as its many powers and rulers. The blasphemous names show its direct opposition to God, especially by promoting idolatry (Daniel 7:1-6 ). v. 2b : The dragon, who is the devil, gave the beast its power, throne, and great authority. This means the beast works for the devil, carrying out his plans against God and His people (Revelation 13:2 ).

‏ Revelation of John 13:2

v. 2: The beast looked like a leopard, had feet like a bear, and a mouth like a lion. It had seven heads, ten horns, and on its heads were names of blasphemy. This terrible appearance reminds us of Daniel's vision where different beasts represented kingdoms. The combination of these traits shows the beast's fierceness, strength, and speed, as well as its many powers and rulers. The blasphemous names show its direct opposition to God, especially by promoting idolatry (Daniel 7:1-6 ^a).

v. 2b: The dragon, who is the devil, gave the beast its power, throne, and great authority. This means the beast works for the devil, carrying out his plans against God and His people (Revelation 13:2 ^b).
