The Beast

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical figure of the beast described in Revelation chapters 17 and 18, distinguishing it from the Babylonian harlot, which represents false religion. The beast is portrayed as a new, adversarial power emerging in the last days, opposing both true and false religions, and is linked to a coalition of historical kingdoms. The preacher discusses prophetic visions from Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation to explain the beast's origins, characteristics, and eventual defeat by Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes vigilance in the last days and the ultimate victory of Christ over evil.
