Today’s passage introduces a mysterious
figure, who is commonly called The Beast or The Antichrist. This Beast will emerge out of a cadre of ten Gentile nations. He will claim to be god and force people to worship him. People, whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will do just that. Please open your Bible to Revelation chapter thirteen and listen as Pastor Ray Viola tells us more about this future world ruler as he begins his study of verses one through ten.
