Revelation 13:1-10 - The Beast of the Sea

Dave McCue Season 4 Episode 4
The beast of the sea is a presented in Revelation as a parody of the Christ in Revelation 5, but instead of sacrifice the beast (the machinations of the world's powers) use force. Those who call Christ and the Kingdom of God must not use that methodology to coerce, because God does not coerce.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
