Revelation 13
New International Version (NIV)

The Beast out of the Sea

1 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And
I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. []
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear. 10
“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”The Beast out of the Earth 11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.! The number is 666

OK ; so there are 6 items identifying the beast mixed throughout revelations ch 13 thru 17, these are;

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST...[1st clue its not 666]

THE NAME OF THE BEAST

THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST

THE MARK OF THE BEAST

THE MARK OF HIS NAME

Now if i could have your best most educated thoughts on what each of these are,what they mean etc...I we can together figure out this beast thing once and for all......

....bible Scholars,over to y'all

goshap: the answer ur looking 4 is clearly stated at chp 17-18,what more do u need.

What I need is the EXEGESIS

obi4eze: @ OP,
Please don't be annoyed but I want to ask if you're born-again because getting to know the explanation without having the prerequisite Christian experience will amount to a waste of time.

Thanks.

Fxwarrior: What you're trying to say is you're a Church goer and is different from being a Christian someone who follows and obeys the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Even Jesus told Nicodemus a Religious man that he must be born again to enter the Kingdom.

It has a lot to do with it .All these will happen after the Rapture and its born again Christians that shall be raptured thereby leaving this earth.
Antichrist the man of sin shall be unveiled and you know human beings can't survive without food.So to buy or sell food or anything you must receive the mark of the beast and if you do receive it, you are doomed to be cast into lake of fire and if you refuse to receive it. They will torture you mercilessly until you beg them for it.Google torture you will see different torture techniques.It's just the devil and deep blue sea scenerio.

So you see it has a lot.
