Revelation 13:11

Then I saw another beast. The beast from the sea is the Devil's "hands." This beast from the earth is the Devil's "mind." Like a lamb's horns. This beast is the false prophet (Revelation 16:13; Revelation 19:20). Some have applied this specifically to the Roman church. This is a mistake. This second beast symbolizes all false religion and all false philosophy in every form during the entire Gospel Age. It is the Devil's counterfeit of the "true Lamb of God." It is not one individual, or one religion; but an attitude. [In the church of Christ itself, two different attitudes have struggled together since the very beginning. One "distorts" the Good News and leads away from God (see Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:7). The other points back to God's perfection. Men such as the apostles opposed any distortion of the teachings of Christ, and pointed all to the "perfect law that sets men free" (James 1:25).]
