What does the beast's blasphemy against God mean?
The beast’s blasphemy means he speaks against God by slandering His name, His tabernacle, and those dwelling in heaven. It is not merely verbal insult but spiritual warfare against the very powers of God and heaven itself, as Satan empowers the Antichrist to oppose and make war against God.
Les teaches that Revelation 13 shows the beast’s true character when he opens his mouth in blasphemy against God, blaspheming His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. Les explains that this means the beast will literally begin to war against the very spiritual powers of God and of heaven itself. This fits the broader context where Satan gives the beast its power and begins to show his authority through the man Antichrist, so that the dragon and the beast are worshipped. The blasphemy is therefore direct opposition to God and to the heavenly realm, not merely empty speech.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
