Revelation Answers

The Assembly of God is the battlefield where the final war is being waged between the Lamb and the Ancient Serpent, the Devil . The  Book of Revelation  is addressed to seven first-century congregations in the Roman province of Asia. It deals with their real-life situations and trials. In the process, it presents messages relevant to all the assemblies of God throughout the present age, the period known as the “ Last Days ” which began following Calvary. The daily struggles of the Asian churches provide a microcosm of the great cosmic battle that is being waged between Jesus and the Devil.

In the  Book of Revelation , John saw a “ Beast ascending from the Earth ,” the “ False Prophet .” He was intent on deceiving the “ Inhabitants of the Earth ” on behalf of the “ Beast from the Sea .” The latter was characterized by its political power, while the “ False Prophet ” used religious propaganda to deceive men, and economic might to suppress anyone who did not conform to the demands of the  World Empire .
