Rev 13:3 One of its heads
seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
Rev 13:5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
Rev 13:6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.
And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.
Rev 13:12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,
and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,
Rev 13:14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast
it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Rev 13:15 And it
was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
Rev 13:16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,
Rev 13:17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
This interview by Maria Bartiromo with a
clone is something that no one in past generations could even comprehend. I can easily imagine the Antichrist seemingly killed coming back as a
clone to deceive the whole world. I know many reject clear Bible prophecies concerning the regathering of the nation of Israel that happened in 1948, the city of Jerusalem being brought back under Jewish control in 1967, the current nations aligned against Israel as given in Ezekiel 38 that is a foretaste of the battle of Gog and Magog, the attempt to bring about a
New World Order with one government superseding national governments, the distress of nations Jesus talked about in Matthew 24, etc., but Jesus will return just like he left as he said he would when he ascended into heaven. Jesus will set up His kingdom of righteousness and will reign for 1,000 years with a rod of iron. No one knows when He will return but all the signs of Bible prophecy point to that marvelous event.
