What is the image people are told to make in Revelation 13?

Those dwelling on the earth are told to make an image, a likeness of the beast, identified as the Antichrist, the emperor of the revived Roman Empire. It is an image or idol of the Antichrist, and the whole world will worship that image.

Les explains that by miracles done in the sight of the beast, the deceiver persuades those who dwell on the earth to make an image—a likeness to the beast, the Antichrist, the emperor of the revived Roman Empire. He says it will be an image or an idol, and he is not sure whether there will be one or several, but the whole world will worship that image of the Antichrist. In the same context, he also notes that the one spoken of had power to give life to the image of the beast.

Revelation 13:14

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
