Revelation 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
The basic necessities of food and drink were always supplied on a regular daily basis, and even folks like Cain, and Lamech who introduced the gross practice of polygamy, continued to be beneficiaries of God’s mercies and blessings. God does not starve persons into submission, for all who choose to serve Him are to do so of their own free will.
Not so with the beast principles, for we have sacred history before us, that when Job refused to yield to temptation, his entire household, together with his animals, pets and servants, suffered from the brute force of devils, and when all these failed of breaking Job, he was afflicted with sore boils from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet.
Thus, we must be clear as crystal when deciphering the beast principles, so as not to subscribe to them under the various veneers by which they are sold. It is a fact that intimidations, hecklings, and other forms of nefarious inducements such as bribes are going to be exhausted first whenever the beast may seek to carry out its agenda, but we should always remember this, that at the end of the day, the beast principles would ultimately lead to the use of force. Always!
Revelation 13:12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
