Biography of the Beast Revelation 12-13 by Dr. Adrian Rogers (Part 1)

Standing in the shadows of history is a man known as the Antichrist, a man with many aliases. In the Bible he's called the Beast, the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, and the Little Horn. In spite of this, multiplicity of names, he has but one heart and one motive. There are five things I want you to know about the Beast.

1) The social agitation that delivers the Beast. In Revelation 17:5, the waters represent peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. The sea is seething. There is social agitation. The peoples of this world are in turmoil like the troubled sea. And in Revelation 13:1, the Beast rises out of this agitation.

2) The satanic attributes that describe the Beast. His father is the Dragon, the devil (Rev.12:3; 13:1). His family heritage is the collective evil of the world's empires (Rev. 13:2; Dan.7). His fortune is the power, throne, and authority of Satan (Rev.13:2). The Beast is Satan's superman, a false messiah, a Man of Sin who is diabolically wicked.

3) The seductive appeal that disguises the Beast. Although the character of the Beast is hideous, his appearance will have worldwide appeal. He will be clever and greatly intelligent, a global charmer. And when the Beast is healed of a deadly head wound the whole world will wonder after him (Rev. 13:2,3). They will worship this fraud, this angel of light, this evil counterfeit of God.

4) The sinister ambitions that drive the Beast. His goals are well known. The beast wants to deify Satan (Rev. 13:4). He's coming to defy the Savior (v. 5). He's coming to destroy saints by every means possible (v. 7). The Beast wants to dominate society with global control (v. 7). And he wants to delude sinners, all whose names aren't already written in the Book of Life (v. 8-10). The Bible tells us that the Beast is the man who "opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thess. 2:4). Remember this; the devil doesn't want casualties; he wants converts. He wants people to worship him.

5) The supporting agent who declares the Beast. The Beast will have someone who will make him popular and known to the world, a propaganda agent. This second beast comes out of the earth. He is the Anti-spirit who controls the wealth (v. 16-18). (He will be called the False Prophet. - added by Moi)
