Much has been written about who the antichrist might be (1st Beast of Revelation), how he suffers a mortal wound and comes back to life, gaining mass allegiance worldwide. However, very little is researched and written on who or what the second beast of Revelation is, where it comes from, and its source of power. "It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived" (Revelation 13:13-14). Christians who believe the rapture occurs before the Great Tribulation avoid understanding and preparing for the coming antichrist rule. Unprepared believers run the risk of falling for Satan's grand end-time deception-facilitated and enforced by the second beast who acts as Satan's end-time false prophet. Learn what is the likely identity of the second beast, where it comes from, and how to overcome its deceiving powers. Charles Pretlow began his ministerial work in 1974. As an avid student of Scripture, with years of experience as a pastor, counselor, and seasoned author-he brings insight to end-time Bible prophecy. This small book gives the reader an edge on who or what the second beast is and how to be ready to escape the Great Tribulations troubles and deception when the antichrist comes into power. More important, learn how to stand before Christ when the rapture occurs.
