“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him.... _These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone._” Rev. 19:20. See Isa. 47:7-15; 2 Thess. 2:3-8; Rev. 17:16, 17; 18:4-8. 10. In what similar language is the fate of the fourth beast of Daniel 7 described? “I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was _slain_, and his body _destroyed_, and _given to the burning flame_.” Dan. 7:11. Making An Image To The Beast. The Prophecy Of Revelation 13 [Illustration.] Landing Of The Pilgrim Fathers. The vanguard of Protestantism, who established "a Church without a pope, and a State without a king." 1. When was the papal head of the first beast of Revelation 13 wounded? In 1793-98, by the French Revolution, and the temporary overthrow of the Papacy in the latter year. 2. What did the prophet see coming up at this time? “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.” Rev. 13:11. NOTES.—Mr. Wesley, in his notes on Revelation 13, written in 1754, says of the two-horned beast: “He is not yet come, though he cannot be far off; for he is to appear at the end of the forty-two months of the first beast.” The previous beast came up out of the “sea,” which indicates its rise among the peoples and nations of the world then in existence (Rev 17: 15); while this one comes up out of the “earth.” This would indicate that the latter beast would arise where there had not before been “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” In 1798, when the papal power received its deadly wound, the government of the United States, located in the western continent, was the only great and independent nation then coming into prominence in territory not previously occupied by peoples, multitudes, and nations. Only nine years preceding this (1789), the United States adopted its national Constitution. It is within the territory of the United States, therefore, that we may look, according to the prophecy, for an ecclesiastical movement to arise, and exercise a dominating control, not only in the civil government of this country, but also in the other nations of the whole world as well.
