What miracle does the false prophet perform according to Revelation 13:13?
According to Revelation 13:13, the false prophet performs great wonders, specifically making fire come down from heaven onto the earth in the sight of men. This miracle is a counterfeit sign used to deceive the earth’s inhabitants and convince them to worship the first beast.
Les explains that this false prophet, a religious leader, will do great wonders so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. He will use miracles and power to convince the human race of who he is. He is a counterfeit, but he will convince them that he is the truth. Verse 14 says he deceives those who dwell on the earth by means of those miracles. Les reminds that Satan has power to perform miracles, as Pharaoh’s magicians in Egypt did, and others throughout the Old Testament economy were able to do it; they will do it again in the tribulation, receiving their power from Satan. This false prophet also causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
