Life-study msg 41 - The Beast Out of the Sea (1)

Bible verses: Rev. 13

Rev. 13:1 And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and on his heads names of blasphemy.

Sea: mediterranean sea 

Beast: anti-Christ (Daniel 2; 7; 8 firstly mentioned and developed all the way to Revelation) 

Intellectual (the insights, political science, scientific knowledge, marvelously smart) 

Charismatic (attractive, eloquent, persecuting the saints, making wars with the saints, to wear out God's people)

Why do we need to be watchful? 

Dan 8 - the ram (Persia) and the goat (Greece) 

Ram- ?

Goat - Alexandar the great - break into four kingdoms 

A little horn rises up - grow exceedingly towards Egypt (South), Asia Minor (East), Judea (west), 

Source- Greece and Macedonia but not quite sure where exactly he will rise up.
