the beast out of the sea (revelation 13:1-10)

This message was preached at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, NC on May 29, 2016. This study is a specific exegesis of the first ten verses of Revelation 13 following our three-part series on the person and work of Antichrist as revealed elsewhere in Scripture. Particular focus is upon the Beast out of the Sea as the rod of God’s anger and the axe in God’s hand (Isaiah 10) as well as three tests to measure our susceptibility for being deceived by the Spirit of Antichrist (II Thessalonians 2).
