Revelation Chapter 13 (R13b)

        Wrath of Satan (5th Seal)

The False Prophet
Rev 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.
Out of the earth - from within the church.
Two horns - representing both Catholics and Protestants (all Christians)
Like a lamb - acts like a godly Christian
Spoke like a dragon - like the devil, he speaks lies and teaches distorted truth.
    False christs or false prophets are ravenous wolves who are churchgoers. Their mission is to deceive Christians into worshipping the Antichrist (beast) and to accept the mark of the beast or '666'.
Acts 20:29-30  For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Performing Signs and Wonders
Rev 13:12-14  And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
    With signs and wonders, he swiftly grants all the needs and wants of the human race. Blind Christians who neither read, meditate nor put into action the words of Jesus will be hoodwinked into believing that he is god.
2 Thes 2:9-10  The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

The Prophecy of Television
Rev 13:15  He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
image can speak 
    Two thousand years ago, God described TV as the image that can speak, so this prophecy has been fulfilled for 70-80 years and now the hologram.

Would not worship the Beast
    The image will be the Antichrist seated in the temple proclaiming himself god. With advancements in technology, every human can be spied on and monitored. In 3 to 4 years' time 6G smart gadgets may be programmed into murderous weapons to kill those who refuse to worship the beast.

The Mark of the Beast
Rev 13:16-18  He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
    Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is a microchip that is embedded under the skin to provide a digital interface for personal ID, financial transactions, medical metadata, location tracking, memberships, longevity, and more features to come with continuous digital advancement. 
    Some people have implanted the chip for its benefit, but the practice is not widespread yet due to global technicalities, legality, and profitability. Intensive R&D on the technology will open up scientific discoveries that will marvel the human race. When the time is ripe for the world to receive the mark of the beast, unlearned and self-loving Christians will have no qualms to get themselves implanted for self-serving reasons.
