START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAYILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:15

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE TO BE KILLED / REVELATION 13:15

At some point well into the great tribulation, the false prophet will erect and dedicate an image or statue of the antichrist as a focal point of worship (Daniel 3:1). It is possible that some form of the image may be placed in major locations in cities throughout the world. The main image will likely be placed in the temple, which possibly will be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:26-27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The second beast is then “given power [by Satan] to give breath to the image.” “Breath” here is a translation of the Greek pneuma (“spirit,” which can refer to any kind of spirit). This could mean that a demonic power somehow makes the image look alive so that it appears to speak. In doing so, the false prophet claims divine power for himself and the antichrist. This may be his greatest deception, as the Bible makes it clear that only God can create and give life (the Hebrew verb bara [“create”] is never uses in the Bible with anyone other than God as the subject; He is the only Creator). By means of this great deception, official authorization will be given to kill all who refuse to worship the world ruler and his images. That is to say many who resist the antichrist and remain faithful to Jesus will be put to death (Revelation 6:9; 14:12-13).
