In Chapter 13, we see the long-dreaded emergence of the Beast (antichrist), the length of his reign, and his huge following. And, we discover those who will escape his power.
“1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads; and on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. 2And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.”
