REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Eight - Waging War Against the Holy Ones

 The wily Satan had plans for manipulating the wild beast to his own ends. John explains this: "And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies were given it [the seventh headed beast]and authority to act forty-two months  was given it.  And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme this name and his residence, even those residing in heaven.  And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer   them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of htem stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world." - REVELATION 13:5-8.
