Revelation 13:9-11

9 If anyone is able to hear, let him listen:

10 Whoever leads into captivity will himself go into captivity; if anyone slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Herein is [the call for] the patience and the faith and fidelity of the saints (God's people).

You ever hear Christians who talk about hoarding food and having guns to protect themselves during the end times? These people will be slain during the Great Tribulation as people overtake them for what they have. The whole world will be against us during this time. Only Jesus will feed us, shelter us, and give us water. And once again, Jesus shows us that the saints, the church, that are here during the Great Tribulation, will be patient. Jesus shows us that we will not fight back; we will not kill those who kill us. Think of the love that will be flowing through us at this time to act this way. This is the end and we will not want anyone to die, even if they are killing us, because they might have a chance to be called and chosen! And A-men, I believe that millions will be saved! There will be so many saved during this time that they will not be able to be counted. Millions saved out of every nation, tribe, and tongue. And Hallelujah, if it requires us to be killed so that they can be saved, bring on death!

11 Then I saw another beast rising up out of the land [itself]; he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke (roared) like a dragon.

Think of America here. The beast has two horns, yet no crowns; freedom of religion and democracy, or maybe our economic and military power? Look at how the beast is portrayed like a lamb, but speaks as a dragon. Think of how the USA has been used by Jesus and yet our leaders speak like a dragon. This revelation clearly shows America, no other country on the earth is used by Jesus as much as America to spread the Gospel and yet our government officials, our countries official voice, shy away from Him and speak just like satan. Our politicians are always glorifying the works of themselves and of men. Satan doesn’t speak like a ruthless dictator, he is subtle and usually uses half truths that sound good. Just like our Presidents, who say that they have faith, and yet never mention Jesus.

Also look at how the beast rises up out of the land, the wilderness. America is a very new country, it is a very powerful country, and it gained its power very quickly! We do not have a king and this beast has no crowns on its horns.
