Revelation 13
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives [f]those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [g]the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Revelation 13
The Beast out of the Earth
In short - Interpretation:
Beast out of the Earth = The Zionist State of Israel = The false prophet
Two horns = Israel being a twofold people in multiple historic phases and on multiple levels
As a lamb = Israel portraying itself as the victim in order to submit everyone to its cause, playing 'the victim card', misusing the terms 'antisemitism' and 'holocaust'
As the dragon = The constant utterance of accusations toward opponents in order to give an excuse or pretext for attacks. Endless repetition of 'Terrorists' - 'October 7' - 'Hamas' - 'Hezbollah' - 'Atomic Bomb' - 'WMD's'
First beast = Beast out of the sea, the US-empire - see: Revelation 13
Executes its power = Use of Israel as colonial proxy to establish and expand the power of the empire in the most strategic region on earth, receiving full moral, diplomatic, financial and military support from the empire
Causes worship of the fist beast = 'Jewish' control and manipulation of film industry and mainstream media in order to bend public opinion in favor of the empire, notwithstanding the endless war, destruction and suffering it is causing worldwide
Deadly wound = Civil war in the USA 1861 - 1865 after which film and media became very influential and under Jewish control
Great wonders = Technological advancement for a great deal driven by European 'Jewish' powers through their control of money.
Fire from heaven = Aerial bombing of cities which really took off during WWII, a war that was necessary for both US-hegemony over the world and for the foundation of a 'Jewish state'. Both Germany and Great Britain were defeated - Britain lost its central position in 1944, at the Bretton Woods conference. Since 9/11/01 bombs started to rain upon the Middle East, with Israel as the most important agent at the center.
Deception by means of miracles = Deception through the control of mainstream media and the outlets and devices giving acces to these media
Image of the beast = Copy of 'the US-empire': statues => moving images (film) => television => computers => smartphones => digital copy on the Internet => tokenization - real time ledger of everything valuable and the people owning it.
Wound of the sword = Civil war (1861-1865) - which almost cut the USA into two. That would have made it unfit for world dominance (as Europe was).
Give 'breath' or 'spirit' to the image = Point in time where the development to a digital system leads - through AI - to an artificial personality
The image will speak and cause to be killed - Combining all information worldwide in real time, the 'image' or 'datacenter' can determine who does not comply to the system, which is translated in orders to kill
Mark in right hand or forehead = (Invisible) Tattoo of some sort of QR-code, by which the system recognizes one as participant of the 'image of the beast'
No man might buy or sell = Those without 'the mark' cannot be identified by the system, 'the image of the beast' and are not qualified for transactions
The number of the beast = The number of a man = Both the US-empire and the one ruling it are characterized by the same number 666 (or 616)
In short - Explanation:
The 'beast out of the earth' is a phenomenally apt description of Zionism and the state of Israel. It came up after the beast out of the sea (the USA) had well established itself as world power. It is characterized by two large concentrations of self proclaimed Jews - the USA and Israel (two horns). It presents itself as the great victim of history and of WWII in particular (as a lamb) which it uses in constant accusations against other nations (antisemitism), claiming impunity for itself (it speaks as the dragon). It exercises all power of the US-empire in the Middle East in the empire's geopolitical interest. Through its control of media and film industry, it has established a worldwide admiration for the US-empire, as the pinnacle of civilization, distracting attention from its immoral wars and regime change operations. It is at the forefront of technological development, especially in the realm of warfare, regularly chastising Palestinians and surrounding countries with terrible bombing campaigns (performing miracles, bringing fire down from heaven). It is obsessed with making an image of 'the US empire', through which it persuades the masses to adore the USA, especially citizens of the US and Western Europe, of which many emigrated to the US, the 'land with limitless opportunities'. The making of the image started with capturing the USA in film. Gradually the cinema was replaced by television, computer, smartphone. Then came the Internet, with the possibility of a real-time digital connection of all things valuable, together with all the people owning them. This seems to be the last step. With astronomical computing capacity, Artificial Intelligence can be combined with a real-time copy of the world in which everything is connected - up unto the level of the individual. The only pieces of the puzzle still missing are 'the giving of life to the image' and 'the mark of the beast;. The giving of life to the image is the autonomous decision making process of the program that will embodie all information of the empire. The mark of the beast will be an engraved QR code in or under the skin, which will connect a person to his/her digital identity on 'the Internet', the image of the beast. Accepting this mark is expressing loyalty and submission to the a digital tyranny and willfully entering the digital prison, out of which no escape is possible. Accepting this mark is the guarantee for 'the second death', the future destiny in the lake of fire, with death setting in once righteous suffering is accomplished according to life on earth. Therefore it is the mark of antichrist. Christ is the guarntee of escaping second death. Antichrist is the guarantee of entering second death.
Because of its enormous importance, we have taken the most important points out of Daniel's and Revelation's prophecies and we have put them here. Below, a box of 'frequently asked questions' is put in order to get direct answers without having to read the whole page.

The 'beast out of the earth' came up after the 'beast out of the sea', which is referred to as 'the first beast'. This corresponds to Zionism, rising in the late 1800's after the USA was well on its way to becoming a world-power. When the USA had defeated the last competing country for world-power, Great Britain, the US threw its full weight into the voting on the UN Partitian Plan, which was te first step toward the total theft of the 'holy land' from the Palestinians. Therefore it is the 'beast out of the earth'. It clings to this piece of earth with each fiber of its body. The two horns speak of where its power lies. One horn sticks into the USA, where it executes the US-power in its presence. The second horn sticks into the Middle East, where it executes US power on its behalf, its geopolitical interests in becoming and remaining the planet's hegemon. Its appearance as a lamb refers to its preferred positioning as the victim (holocaust - antisemitism), for from that position, it can accuse each and every opponent and attack it with impunity - having 'the right to defend itself'. Through its possession and control of film-industry and media, it leads the world into worship of the US-empire, notwithstanding the empire's violent attacks on many countries, while destroying millions of lives.
The wearing out of the saints (2) is what we have been witnessing since the start of the extreme right Netanyahu cabinet - the fierce attack on the Palestinians, first through the increase of settler violence in the West Bank and since October 7, 2023 through the genocide of the people of Gaza. The country of Israel is nothing but an extension of the empire toward the Middle East. Israel is the beast out of the earth, which acts on behalf of 'the beast out of the sea', the empire - as we shall see. The relentless attack on Palestinians will continue until the 3.5 year Endtime has passed and Jesus will return.
The speaking of great words against the most High (1) is identical to the opening of his mouth 'against God, 'to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven'. For understanding this blasphemous behavior it is very important to look at what scriptures consider 'blasphemy'.
We consider it also to be identical to the cessation of 'the sacrifice and the oblation' of Daniel 9:27, which happens in or in relation to God's tabernacle. The beast will steal the honor that was addressed to God. It will involve admiration and worship that the beast will demand in a sanctuary dedicated to God. The beast shall blaspheme his name and his tabernacle. Which tabernacle might that be? Many think this will take place in a Jewish temple. However, the last nation the US wants to infuriate is Israel, because the US and Israel share the same interests. The war must be provoked with the Arab world in order to permanently subdue them, particularly Iran. In order to achieve that, the blasphemy mustn't be about maddening Jews in a Jewish temple, but about maddening Muslims in a mosque. Since 2022, there have been continuous attacks on Muslim houses of worship on the Haram Al Sharif, the main temple square in Jerusalem. This could culminate in a tribute to the US or its president in the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Such an action would fulfill the following:
"But in their place he will honor the god of fortresses: a god his fathers have not known he will honor with gold and silver and precious stones and precious things. So he will do in the fortified fortresses with the foreign god whom he acknowledges and honors" (Daniel 11:38, 39).
The "he" is "the king," the leader of Israel. The "god of fortresses" is the United States. The "fortified fortresses" are mosques where very strict ceremonial rules apply. If a US president were to be honored there, it would cause a huge uproar in the Muslim world. Another Bible text on the same issue is found in 2 Thessalonians:
"The man of lawlessness will be revealed, the son of perdition, the opponent who exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3,4).
The man of lawlessness would then be the US president who receives all the honor. But how can a mosque be called ''temple" in Revelation 11:1 and "temple of God" in 2 Thessalonians 2 Another verse on the same subject:
"When you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."
The abomination of desolation is the US president who allows himself to be glorified, resulting in enormous destruction. The holy place is a mosque. The immediate flight to the mountains is necessary because total devastation will follow. And in order to have a 'human shield' the Israeli government will prohibit the exodus of fleeing Jews, as was the case during the 'twelve day war' of June 2025. The military intervention from Egypt and especially from Iran will completely ruin the nation of Israel. It will be the start of world war III:
"At the time of the end the king of the South will push at him, and the king of the North will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen and many ships. He will invade the countries and go over like a flood." (Daniel 11:40)
The king of the South (Egypt) and of the North (Iran) attack Israel. This is the outbreak of World War III, depicted in Revelation 6 as "the red horse", which we already mentioned.
The rider of the red horse, the one who provokes the great war—the US, the beast—will receive a great sword. The beast will be given "authority to act for 42 months." This means that those who attack Israel and cause enormous destruction will ultimately be defeated by the beast. Indeed, this is how Daniel 11 ends:
"But news out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, so that he will come out with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. He will pitch his state tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain—but his end will come, and no one will help him."
This is about the "king of the North" who will be destroyed by the beast. The US will emerge victorious and be able to establish a world empire in the remaining time until the 3.5 years expire. We estimate the raging of war to last for about a year, causing also the destruction of supply lines (strait of Hormuz) for energy with famine as a result (the black horse).
"And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven."
The military victory will give the US enormous self-confidence. The utterance of 'great things and blasphemies' turns into 'blasphemies against God, his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven'.
And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority was given to him over every tribe and nation and tongue and people. 8And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10If anyone leads into captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed.
Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Beast from the Earth
11And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was given to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound by the sword and did live. 15And he was given power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast would be killed. 16And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free and the bond, to receive a mark.
