Revelation 13: The Two Beasts: From the Sea and the Earth | Dr. Michael Heiser

Support Dr. Heiser's ministry at https://nakedbiblepodcast.com Revelation 13 is known as the chapter about the Beast whose number is 666. However, the chapter actually describes two beasts. There are several Old Testament passages from which the descriptions of these beasts may derive. While people are familiar with the number 666, and that this number is also the name of the Beast (antichrist). The idea of “bearing the name” has a secure Old Testament context, one that largely goes unnoticed in the theorizing about the number of the Beast. #michaelheiser #bookofrevelations #thewatchers #divinecouncil #biblestudy #aseatforjesus #nakedbiblepodcast \\------------------------\\ Help Support ASFJ: https://aseatforjesus.com/a-seat-for-jesus Website: https://aseatforjesus.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus 0:00 Unpacking the Beasts of Revelation 13 1:04 Reading the Vision of the Two Beasts 3:54 Interpretive Trajectories for the Beasts 5:08 Babel Chaos and the Loss of Eden 8:59 Leviathan and Rahab: The Sea and Land Beasts 15:49 The Eschatological Banquet Motif 28:36 Daniel 7 and the Imagery of the Beasts 38:44 The Mark of the Beast and Name Bearing
