Is the Beast Here? How to Recognise the Seventh Beast King (Ruler) of Revelation 13

Prophecy is a declaration from the throne of God. When God speaks, His throne speeches become the throne will of the Almighty. He is God, He is Elohim.

In this season the living God is warning His people to choose righteousness as always. Why? Because time must be redeemed with righteousness. This is a season when many former believers in Yeshua have called it quits and given up on God’s will for their lives. Can we know prophecy therefore? Yes. This article is about the revealing of the “man of sin”, also known as the “son of perdition”, also known as “the beast”. After many believers in Yeshua rebel against their king, the beast will be revealed!

Who is the Beast of Revelation 13?
The beast is a government that owes allegiance to Satan the dragon.

It is written, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority” (Revelation 13:1-2 KJV).

The beast is also a man-king who rules the earth in the spirit of Satan the dragon.

It is written, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains…And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast” (Revelation 17:9-12 KJV).

How will you recognise the Beast?
As it is often said in the world today, “does it walk like a duck…?” Yes, the 18^th century “duck test” is applicable in recognizing the beast. However in this case we are not talking about a duck, we are talking about the beast.

This is to say, that like the proverbial duck of the duck test maxim, “if it blasphemes like the beast, looks like the beast, has power like the beast, was wounded like the beast, wars like the beast, speaks like the beast, kills Yeshua’s followers like the beast, and is worshipped like the beast…THEN IT IS THE BEAST!”

Now, here are nine things Yeshua prophesied or declared through the Apostle Yochanan (John) regarding the beast of Revelation 13. Brethren, keep your spiritual eyes on Yeshua and the Holy Spirit’s wisdom. We are in a crucial hour in history!
