Revelation 13:1-10; The focus of chapter 12 was the rebellion of Lucifer/Satan/Dragon and expulsion from heaven. His primary goals is to attack and destroy “the woman” whom we identified as the nation of Israel. To accomplish these dsstructive plans, he empowers a “beast” from the sea who shares the devils power, authority and throne. A mortal wound from a likely assassination attempt was healed in a copy of Yahweh-God’s resurrection of Jesus Christ. The whole world is amazed and follows the beast because their names are not written in the “Lamb’s book of life”.
