Revelation 13
RevelationSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses Revelation chapter 13 and its famous depiction of beasts. The common interpretation that the beasts represent the Antichrist is popularized in Christian movies and novels, but Gregg notes that the Bible itself does not use the term "Antichrist" in the same sense. He identifies political and religious imagery in the chapter, which refers to the end of the sacrificial system rather than a setting in the temple. Gregg also mentions dispensationists who associate the beast in Revelation 13 with the "man of lawlessness" mentioned by Paul in 2nd Thessalonians 2.
