Who Will Marvel at the Beast?
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.”
Revelation 13:3
July 11, 2023
Ponder This
The Antichrist will be an appealing man in the eyes of the world. When we call him a beast, don’t think of him as being hideous in appearance. The beast speaks of his nature. Remember that the devil himself appears as an angel of light. Doubtless, this beast will be handsome; he will be charming; he will be clever; he will be greatly intelligent; he will be a persuasive speaker; and he will be a global charmer. And one of the reasons the entire world will wonder after him is that he will have a deadly wound in his head that will be healed. This will be Satan’s counterfeit resurrection. Of course, it will be a resuscitation, because the devil does not have the power to give life, but this one who appears to be dead will be brought back to life, and at that time the world will greatly admire him.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
