[:en]Scripture Reading: Revelation 13:1-10
Biblical Truth: For John and his readers, the beast was the Roman state. The beast represents temporal principalities and power who derive their power and authority over people from the evil one, the dragon. And the beast is also reborn in very ages and ever place.
Personal Application: Do not be deceived by the great power and authority that the dragon had given to the beast because the dragon will surely be defeated.
Prayer: Dear Lord, enable us to be worthy of you. Make us willing to take up the cross and follow you.[:]
