13:11-18 another beast: This second beast, the third member of the evil trinity (see study note on 12:18–13:18), is later called the “false prophet” (16:13). As a high priest of false religion, he leads the world into worshiping the first beast and the dragon (see also 16:13-14).
The Antichrist
The term antichrist appears only in John’s letters (1 Jn 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn 1:7). John expected many antichrists to appear in history (1 Jn 2:18), all of whom would deny that Jesus is both divine and human (1 Jn 2:22; 4:2-3; 2 Jn 1:7).
Paul speaks of a “man of lawlessness,” who will come in the last days to stir up rebellion against God (2 Thes 2:1-12). This figure will “come to do the work of Satan,” chiefly by means of deception. Though not specifically labeled as “antichrist,” this “man of lawlessness,” like the “antichrists” described in John’s letters, will stand in opposition to the truth.
In Revelation 13, the hostile spirit opposed to Christ is personified by “another beast” who serves the dragon (Satan) and the first beast. The number of this antichrist, 666, probably stood for Nero and perhaps for the emperor Domitian (see study note on 17:8). Emperor worship—which proclaimed “Caesar is Lord!”—was a pseudo-religion that stood in opposition to proclaiming Christ as Lord.
Whether John expected a final antichrist even greater than a political figure like Nero or Domitian is uncertain. Either way, Christians must take seriously the presence of evil and its opposition to Christ in the people and power structures of the world. Resisting these enemies may lead to persecution and even death, but our hope rests in ultimate victory through Christ.
Passages for Further Study
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὰ σημεῖα ἃ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι
the signs that ˱it˲_/was/_given ˱to˲_it /to/_perform
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was the dragon. Alternate translation: “the signs that the dragon has granted it to do”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐνώπιον τοῦ θηρίου
before the wild_beast
Here the word before means “in front of” or “in the presence of” another person. Alternate translation: “in the presence of the beast”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ θηρίῳ
˱to˲_the wild_beast
While John says in the next verse that this was an image “of the beast,” that is, an image that looked like the beast, here the expression to the beast means “in honor of the beast.” You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in honor of the beast”
