Revelation 13:14

^{Revelation 13:14}

^{Rev. 13:14   And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast,}

^{And he deceives}

We know that the main intention of satan is to deceive the people.  We can see many example from the scripture itself

	God	Satan
Lion	Amos 3:8   A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?	1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Morning star	Rev. 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."	Isa 14:12  " How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
Trinity	The Father and the Son and the Holy sprit	Satan, Man o sin, false prophet
Miracles & Wonders	Jesus did Many	Rev 13:13

              

Through all these thing the satan deceives the people. According to Matthew 24:24 even elect one also deceived by satan

^{Mat. 24: 24  For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.}

^{those who dwell on the earth}

From this word we can understand all the people will be deceived by him, because according to

 ^{rev. 13:7 authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.}

So all who dwell on the earth will be deceived by him.

^{by those signs}

Which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast how he deceiving the people by doing the signs and the wonders why because this also duplicate the our Lord because Jesus told in

^{John 4:48 Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."}

Because of that only the satan also doing the signs and wonders. So the people will not able to distinguish between good and evil. So the start be living the satan.  Through this satan deceiving every one.

^{telling those who dwell on the earth}

The false prophet instructs the inhabitants on the Earth how to worship the Beast.

^{to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.}

Those on the will demonstrate their worship by making an image of the Beast. This is similar to Satan’s deceptions throughout history. The man’s nature is to be worshipped if ultimate power can be obtained. Great military leaders eventually viewed themselves as god on Earth, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the great, and Julius Caesar are 3 memorable ones. The 20th century, has had their share of leader worship transferred to image veneration. Lenin, Mao, Kim il Sung and Hitler are recent examples of leader worship turned to image veneration. Man worship will ultimately be played out as Satan inhabits the body of a man and demands the world worship him as god. One of the first acts of Satan is to immediately have the first 3 of 10 commandments broken.

1. No god but God.

2. Do not make an image.

3. Do not worship the image

The resurrection of the Beast will be the focus of the image for those dwelling on the Earth. In Daniel 3, the bible prepares the world for this coming event by the example of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. Three Hebrew boys who choose death rather then worship the image the king of Babylon sets up. The image is 60 cubits high, and 6 cubits wide, (60, 6) everyone was to bow to the image when the music played. The Hebrews refused and were thrown into a firery furnace, and were not harmed as one like; the “Son of God” rescued them. (Dan 3:25). The message in Daniel is to the whole world, if three Hebrew boys could survive a fiery furnace because the “Son of God” was in their midst, then we can survive because the “Son of God” has redeemed us, but we must not submit to the Beast.

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 7 So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 17 "If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 "But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up." 25"Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." Daniel 3:1,7,17-18,25 God through the book of Daniel demonstrates the way of salvation for those living in the tribulation period. The picture of Daniel 3 when contrasted to Revelation 13 is striking.
