Two Great Beasts are together depicted in "
End Time" Biblical Prophecy... one, "Beast Arising From The Sea," and another, "Beast Arising From The Land...." One gives The Harlot, her: Political, Economic, and Spiritual Power - and the other acts, as her:
Military Champion,
Financial Supporter, and
False Prophet. Since, in many respects, these two creatures are very similar in their overall natures - a great deal of confusion [honestly] surrounds them. And yet, a proper understanding of
Biblical Prophecy necessitates - being able to knowledgeably tell them apart!
Although "
The Beast From The Sea" won't be specifically covered in this article, it must be referenced to understand the delineating characteristics between
these two similar political creatures. Because, although the term "Land" isn't specifically defined in the scriptures, the term "Sea" actually is... and an understanding of one, lends considerable insight into the other.
- Revelation 17 verse 15, says: "And he said to me, 'The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are: Peoples, Multitudes, Nations, and Tongues.'"
