(OPINION) Since the Dark Ages, the world has gone through a series of major epochs—the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Revolution, Russian Revolution, Atomic Age, and now the Great Reset Age.
But before moving into the next age, the Messianic Age—the time when Jesus Christ will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords—the Book of Revelation tells us that two “beasts” will appear.
The apostle John wrote in Revelation 13:1 that he “saw a beast rising up out of the sea” (NKJV). The sea is a metaphor used several times in Scripture to refer to Gentile nations. The apostle Paul described this figure as “the man of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:3, NIV) while John called him the “Antichrist” (1 John 2:18, NKJV).
John also wrote of a second “beast” in Revelation 13:11: “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”
In Greek, the word for “earth” is ge, and one of the meanings of this word is the “mainland” as opposed to the sea. We also see it in Matthew 2:20 when the angel of the Lord told Joseph to “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land [ge] of Israel, for those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”
So, when John describes the second beast “rising out of the earth,” he’s talking about the second beast coming up out of the land of Israel.
“So, in opposition to the sea, where the Antichrist arises, which is a symbol of the nations, the second beast is going to rise out of the land of Israel,” says Lars Enarson, founder and president of The Watchman International ministry, whom I (Rev. Kevin Jessip) just visited on a trip to Israel to lay […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
