Revelation 13:11

11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

John sees another beast come out of the earth. This beast comes out after the first beast and is seen in the last 3 ½ year period. The first Beast came out of the “sea” which in scripture means that he came out of the Gentile nations of the world. The second beast comes out of the earth or land (the Greek word translated here as “earth” is more often translated as “land”). This means that he will come up out of “the land” (of Israel). He will certainly be Jewish. The verse says he will have two horns like a lamb. The two horns represent authority. He will not have crowns so he does not rule over two nations.

The two horns probably means that he will have full authority from two world religions whose leaders believes that the first Beast is God. At this point any world religion that worships anyone other than the first Beast is actively persecuted (chapter 17). Therefore, they must be religions that wholeheartedly accept the Beast as God. Since the False Prophet is a Jew, one of the religions will be the majority of Judaism that rejects the message of their own two prophets.

I believe Jew on Jew persecution in the last days is predicted in several passages in the Bible. Only one third of the Jews in the land of Israel will survive these wars and persecutions (Zechariah 13:8). That should be food for thought for those who want to help God by sending Jews to Israel before the Lord pleads for them (Joel 3:2). Nevertheless, I am not claiming that the return today is not prophetic and ordained by God but their future will be bleak if they do not know and obey their scriptures to flee when the temple holy place is defiled.

Luke 21:16  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

The other religion will probably not be Christianity or any other monotheistic religion like Islam because they are the Harlot of Revelation 17. After the Beast comes to power the Harlot is burned by the ten kings that gives the Beast his power. The false prophet most likely will be pushing new age type polytheism or pantheism.

The appearance as a lamb might mean that this beast will appear gentle and talk peace. However, this leader will speak the lies of Satan. This False Prophet is the foolish shepherd from the tribe of Dan that will not spare his own flock (Zechariah 11:15-17). He will tell the world to worship the first Beast who claims to be God. The False Prophet will take on the role of his Elijah and perform similar miracles as Elijah by making fire come down from heaven in the sight of the first Beast.

The coming of a Messiah-like figure is an expectation of Moslems, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and those in "New Age/New Spirituality". This coming of a new age Christ to bring in a new age on earth is a common expectation for most of those that reject true Christianity and think you can achieve God through evolution and self effort. The world has been programmed to accept these two Beast antichrists.

There really are three Antichrists on earth at this time and not just one: 

·Satan is the invisible counterfeit god in the Beast - Satan is counterfeiting Father God - Satan is anti God’s true Christ

·The Beast is the visible counterfeit god/man - The Beast is counterfeiting the visible image of the God/man (Jesus) - The Beast is the Antichrist

·The False Prophet from Satan gives power to the Beast - The False Prophet counterfeits the power that comes from God’s Holy Spirit - he is anti God’s true Christ

They all will oppose the true Christ and  they will come as a triune counterfeit to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
