Revelation 13

There is no one like our God. No one can match His power or majesty. There are many who try to counterfeit and lead people to believe there are many gods or other equally acceptable paths, showing signs and wonders to prove their point. They will all be proven false. The revelation of God to us is that His Word will stand, and His truth will endure. We must hold fast to our confession and follow after His ways, no matter what the pressure of the world around us is. This section of Revelation sets forth "the beast", drawing our thoughts back to Daniel's prophecies of ancient times. This false messiah will draw many, but the faithful will remain true to Jesus. Our allegiance is to Him and Him alone.
