REVELATION IT GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Eight - The Two-Horned Wild Beast

What can it be?  The Anglo-American World Power-the same s the seventh head of the first wild beast but in a special role!  Isolating it in the vision as a separate wild beast helps us to see more clearly how it acts independently on the world stage. This figurative two-horned wild beast  is made up  of two co-existing, independent, but cooperating political powers.  Its two horns "like a lamb" suggests that it makes itself out  to be mild and inoffensive, with an enlightened form of government to which all the world shoud turn.  But it speaks "as a dragon" in that it uses pressure  and threats and even outright violence  wherever its version of rulership is not accepted. It has not encouraged submission to God's Kingdom under the rule of the Lamb of God but, to the interests of Satan, the great dragon.  It  has promited nationalistic divisions and hatreds that add up to worshiping the first wild beast.
