Who gave the beast a mouth to speak blasphemy in Revelation 13:5?
According to Revelation 13:5, a sovereign God gave the beast a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. The verse says 'there was given unto him,' and the context explains this was by a sovereign God, emphasizing divine permission rather than any human or beastly origin.
Les teaches that Revelation 13:5 states a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to the beast by a sovereign God. He recalls Daniel's prophecy that the beast would worship only the God of forces and blaspheme God, showing this pattern in Revelation. Les emphasizes the key word 'continue,' indicating the beast and empire appear at the signing of the seven-year treaty from Daniel 9:27, a covenant with many, Israel, for one week or seven years.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
