Please read Revelation 13.

Meditate on verses 1 and 11.
And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.
Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having
ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were
ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
Thankfully, we have God’s Word, so we can be aware of Satan and his tactics. In this chapter, God shows us how the dragon and the two beasts attempt to mimic the Trinity. The dragon gives the first beast his power and throne; together, they work with a second beast who looks like a lamb but speaks like the dragon (vs. 2, 11). Do not be deceived by this evil trio; only God is Three in One.
A day is coming when the beast who speaks like the dragon will deceive those who dwell on the earth, and they will be marked as belonging to him (vs. 14-17). Have you been marked by the Holy Spirit, proving you belong to God through the blood of the Lamb? If you have an ear, hear what God reveals to you in this chapter, sharing it with everyone in your realm of influence (v. 9).
As a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7), pray Revelation 13:8 over those who need Jesus.
“LORD, do not let __________ be one of those who
dwells on the earth and worships the beast.
LORD, please let their name have been written from
the foundation of the world in the book of
life of the Lamb who has been slain.
In Your name, Jesus~”
