The Enemies We Face Pt. 15

Derek Prince continues his exposition of Revelation 13, examining the beast whose fatal wound was healed, producing a false resurrection that causes the world to marvel and worship both the dragon and the beast. He contrasts the nature of the beast with the nature of the Lamb, drawing from Revelation 5 where the Lion of Judah is revealed as a slain Lamb, urging believers to cultivate meekness and humility rather than the beast's violent, competitive spirit, since the church may yet conquer through the way of the cross and weakness rather than worldly power.

He goes on to describe the second beast, or false prophet, who appears lamb-like but speaks as a dragon, representing false religion aligned with a false Messiah—citing modern examples such as China's Three-Self Movement and the Russian Orthodox Church's alignment with Stalin. Returning to 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Prince warns that the "falling away" (apostasy) spoken of by Paul is a deliberate rejection of revealed truth, evident today in church leaders denying core doctrines like Christ's deity, virgin birth, atonement, and resurrection, concluding that Satan must first penetrate the church before his error can spread further.
