Plumbing the Depths of Revelation 33

The third member of the trinity of evil is introduced as "a second beast coming out of the earth". Unlike the beast from the sea, this satanic individual uses persuasion and deception to cause the remaining earth dwellers to worship the antichrist. He will be empowered to do great signs and compel the earth's population to worship a statue of the beast, plus command them to take the number "666" upon their right hand or forehead. Anyone who refuses will be refused opportunity to buy in the one-world economy and then hunted down for execution.
