The Rise of the Second Beast, Revelation 13:11-13
Revelation 13:11
And I discerned another beast rise out from the earth, and it had two horns like a sheep and spoke as a dragon.
It has the appearance likened to a sheep
One from Among the Jews
He speaks as a dragon
Deception in his words, Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Deception from the truth, 2 Corinthians 11:3
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
Makes Those Dwelling Upon the Earth To Worship the Beast, Revelation 13:12
Revelation 13:12
And it did all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and the ones dwelling in her in order that they should worship the first beast, whose wound of its death was healed.
It does all the authority of the first beast
It performs these acts in the presence of the first beast
It makes all the ones dwelling upon the earth to worship the first beast
This is an Old Testament Concept of Worship which is to bow the face down to the ground (prostrate).
The Worshiping of the first beast will start in the middle of the tribulation period - after it has been healed from its mortal wound.
It does signs, Revelation 13:13
Revelation 13:13
And it did great signs, and fire, in order that out from the heaven it cast down upon the earth before humans.
Signs are for the Jews, 1 Corinthians 1:22
For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
The signs will be performed in the first half to deceive the Jews
Fire from the first heaven (sky), which is lightning

Revelation 13:14
And it deceived those dwelling upon the earth through the signs which were given to it to do before the breast, while saying to those dwelling upon the earth to make an image of the beast which having the wound and lived from the sword.
This is those who are earth dwellers, Revelation 3:10
Revelation 3:10
because you guarded My Word of patience, and I will keep you out from the hour of temptation, the one about to come upon everyone dwelling to tempt the ones inhabiting upon the land
They reject the truth and follow the beast, Revelation 11:10
Revelation 11:10
And the ones dwelling upon the earth will rejoice over them and they will be caused to have a good frame of mind and give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented the ones dwelling upon the earth.
Centralized Around Jerusalem
The second beast is given a spirit to cause the image to speak, Revelation 13:15
Revelation 13:15
And it was given to it a spirit to give to the image of the beast, in order that also it should speak, the image of the beast, and it made as many as if perhaps did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
Speaking is focusing on words, not content. The image can speak for itself
The Image made all who would not worship it to be put to death
The Mark of the Beast, Revelation 13:16-18
The Mark of the Beast, Revelation 13:16-18
The Image Makes All the Ones Dwelling Upon the Earth to Take a Mark, Revelation 13:16
Revelation 13:16
And it made all, the small and the great and the rich and the poor and the free and the slave in order that they should give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead,
This is a Visible Mark - Engraved, inscription, or branded upon something
A Mark formed by Humans, Acts 17:29
Acts 17:29 (NASB95)
“Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image (χαράγματι) formed by the art and thought of man.
This will not be a hidden mark
Must be on the hand or forehead
The Timing of the Mark
In the Great Tribulation
Does not exist before the Tribulation or During the First Half of the Tribulation
The Beast must Die and be Resuscitated before the Mark is Demanded
The Mark is Required to Buy or Sell, Revelation 13:17
Revelation 13:17
and in order that someone should not have the ability to buy or to sell except the ones having the mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
From Every Social Status Humans are Required to Get the Mark
They will not be able to participate in the commerce of the beast without it - ...It is not forced, the mark is given to them - in order that they should give to them a mark
It is the mark of the first beast’s name, Revelation 14:11
“And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
It is not the number 666
The Wisdom of the Mark, Revelation 13:18
Revelation 13:18
Here is the wisdom. The one having a mind count the number of the beast for it is the number of a human and the number of it is six hundred and sixty-six.
Wisdom requires applying knowledge correctly
It is the mark of a human
I number works out to be 666 - it is the number of a human
They will mark themselves with the name of the first beast

He will do signs to deceive the Jews
He will cause all the inhabitant upon the earth to build an image of the first beast and worship it
The Image will have those who do not worship it put to death
Those who worship the beast will be given a mark, which is the name of the first beast
