This Sunday’s sermon on Revelation 13:11–18 introduces the land beast—the third figure in this unholy trio. He appears like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, mimicking the sea beast and promoting false worship through deception. A false prophet performing signs, setting up an image, and marking people in imitation of God’s own commands, he echoes Elijah’s showdown and Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image. The number 666 hints at counterfeit power and fallen humanity. In every age, the call remains: discernment, wisdom, and faithful resistance. Join us as we consider how to recognise and stand against subtle spiritual deception.
