The Beast Rises: Revelation 17 Explained | E75

Podcast Ep. 75 — The Beast (Revelation 17, Part 2)

Nimrod’s ancient rebellion didn’t die at Babel—it echoes forward into the final world empire. In this episode we trace the “spirit of Babel” from Genesis to Revelation: the beast who was, is not, and is about to rise (Rev 17:8). We show how John builds on Daniel’s four beasts, why the end-times ruler is both a person and a system, what the ten kings signify, and how Jesus (Matt 24) prepares us to endure deception, pressure, and a counterfeit kingdom. The Lamb wins. Stand faithful.

Key Scriptures: Gen 10–11; Gen 14; Dan 2, 7; Ps 2; Matt 24; 2 Thess 2:3–4; Rev 9, 13, 17, 19.

• 
  

  The beast is a satanic counterfeit of the One “who was, is, and is to come.”

  
  


• 
  

  A final empire arises as a coalition (ten kings) that hands authority to one ruler.

  
  


• 
  

  The aim isn’t only control—it’s worship (2 Thess 2; Rev 13).

  
  


• 
  

  Endurance > alarmism: Christ’s Kingdom is eternal; the beast’s reign is brief.

  
  

Reflection Prompt:

“Lord, where am I most vulnerable to compromise in a world preparing for the beast? Give me courage to be faithful.”
