LIKE ALL THINGS OF VALUE THE LAMB IS IMITATED. In the end of the age there is one scheduled to appear who has two horns like that of a lamb. That a deception will be attempted is immediately apparent. Horns are typical of power and authority. Rev. 13:11 The Word of the Lord makes a distinction between this wild beast and the true Lamb of God. The true Lamb is seen as having seven horns, or the fullness, the completeness of Spiritual power. Rev. 5:6 This beast is commonly known as the false prophet. He is the ultimate of those of whom Jesus spoke and called them false prophets. Covered with the skins of sheep, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. Mt. 7:15 The depths of the deception faced by the church today is emphasized by Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians. There was, is and always will be, until the Lord perfects the church, those whom he called false apostles. Workers of deceit, passing themselves off as apostles of Christ. How strong and serious the words of warning given. Showing that even Satan can transform and pass himself off as an angel of light. It is not therefore an astonishing thing if false apostles manifest themselves in the church. 2 Cor. 11:13-15 The ability to use language, words to convince and deceive will reach its apex in the end of the age and by good words, flattery and fair speeches, messages which appeal to the natural senses. Many will be led astray. Rom. 16:18 My sheep hear my voice. The extreme importance of knowing the voice of the Lord and responding to it is found here. John 10:27 This false prophet, for all his smooth words will have the words and voice of the dragon [satan]. He is clever, and very deceptive. Rev. 13:11
THE LAMB IN A MILITARY ROLE. He is the supreme commander. To Him has been relegated the full, absolute power and authority, both in heaven and in earth. Mt. 28:18 The conflict of the ages will soon come to its final scene. The Lamb will assume the capacity appointed to Him as the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the great warrior. The conquering one. Rev. 17:14 He is the living WORD. He wears a garment, dipped in blood, His own redeeming blood. Rev. 19:13 There is nothing in life more certain than the outcome of this impending conflict. It is impossible for the antichrist and the false prophet with all of his ungodly horde to win. Before the battle, they are already defeated. These two ungodly last day leaders of everything unrighteous will be taken into captivity and cast alive into the lake of fire. Their judgment is sure. They are already condemned to this most undesired destiny. Rev. 19:20 The massive armies of the unholy followers of the antichrist and his prophet will instantaneously be slain with the SWORD OF HIS MOUTH, THAT IS THE WORD OF THE LORD. This will sweep the earth of all who would not serve the Lord. Total, absolute destruction will take place at this time. Rev. 19:21 The unrighteous cannot possibly live past this moment of time. They will by no means find a way to enter into the Millennium, the thousand year reign of Christ.
