The Image of the Beast
Not only will the military might he commands be unsurpassed, but the Antichrist will also have at his disposal the most technologically advanced wonders of all time. The Apostle John tells us that he will make an image to the beast that had the deadly wound. Remember how the prophet Daniel describes that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon made a huge statue of a man after he had the vision of the future course of world history? He wrongly reacted to the gift of knowledge from God by making an idol which was deliberately against the Lord. He even forced the people of Babylon to bow down and worship the image on the threat of death.
John says the man of sin will do the same thing to the people of the final world empire. It may be that the Antichrist will so recognize his place in Biblical prophecy that he too will attempt to create a type of commemorative idol, but there is a strange difference between the statue of Nebuchadnezzar and the Antichrist’s image of the beast.

Rev. 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (KJV) . . . John predicts that the image will actually seem to be alive to the people! The second beast (False Prophet) shall have power to supposedly give life to the image of the first beast, so that the image (idol) of the first beast will seemingly speak. And if anyone refuses to bow to the image of the beast, they shall be killed.
To make an image of the Antichrist, whose deadly wound was healed, would be like adding fuel to the already started fire! It would just give form and power to his worship. The False Prophet will also be able to make this idol speak. With today’s technology, this will be no great thing. For those of you who have seen the images at Disneyland, that both move and speak, know this is possible. And with each passing day, new things are brought forth. All those who refuse to worship the image of this beast, will be put to death by the False Prophet.
Although many people think that the image of the Beast will literally come to life, I cannot go along with that. It is clear that ONLY God has the power to give the gift of life (Gen.2:7; Job 33:4; Ecc.12:7). Col. 1:15-17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (KJV) . . . The Bible is clear! It was through Jesus that everything came into being, and the book of Genesis states clearly that ALL life originated by the Lord’s Hand. Because of this, the man-made image that SEEMS to have life, has to have an explanation other than that of a man having life creation abilities. Dear one, before our generation, it might have been very hard to come up with alternative explanations for this prophecy. BUT . . . with all that has happened in technology, even in the last 20 years, it is very possible for us to know this could be possible . . . NOT possible that the idol could actually speak . . . but that the idol SEEMS to talk.
We are living in the Last Days. We all must watch as we wait for the Coming of the Lord Jesus at the Rapture.
