In Revelation 13 Satan calls up and empowers a horrific beast to wage war on the people of God. For the original audience of Revelation this beast was recognized as the satanic power behind the Roman empire. The beast is still alive and active today behind America but the call for believers is the same: endure in faithfulness to the Gospel and the Kingdom no matter the earthly consequences.
