There is a hideously ugly monster, a beast that has risen up in the world, whose hide I want to nail to the wall. This beast has been around for a long, long time. You can read about him in Revelation 13.1
• He arose from the sea. — The Pagan, Idolatrous, Gentile World.
• He has many names; but his name is always "Blasphemy," ascribing to man the works of God.
• He is found in every part of the world. — He has seven heads.
• He is very powerful. — He has ten horns.
• He is found in high places. — He has ten crowns.
• He is deceitful, like a leopard.
• He is destructive, walking through the forests of darkness with the feet of a bear.
• He is furious, devouring with the mouth of a lion. — Multitudes have perished by him.
• His number is 666. — Frustration! — Failure! — Defeat!
This beast must be slain. He will be slain — not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of God — through the preaching of the gospel.
