Scripture's answer is that the ten horns on the beast will hate, strip, and burn the religious system; Les Feldick's teaching in these clips focuses on that system's satanic character and its role in making the world worship the Antichrist.
Revelation 17:16 says the ten horns will make the religious system desolate and naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Les Feldick describes the system as a satanic religious organization that works hand in glove with the Antichrist and causes the earth to worship him. The provided clips do not include Les teaching the moment of destruction, but the Scripture is clear about the outcome.
Revelation 17:16 — This verse directly states what the ten horns will do to the religious system: hate it, strip it, consume it, and burn it.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 — This verse explains why the Antichrist will not tolerate a rival religion: he exalts himself above everything called God.
Revelation 17 describes a woman who rides a scarlet coloured beast and is called 'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.' The angel shows John the religious system sitting on the beast, which pictures the system being carried and supported by the beast's empire. Then the angel reveals what happens to it: 'And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire' (Revelation 17:16). Second Thessalonians 2:4 gives the reason for this destruction. The Antichrist 'opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.' Because he demands exclusive worship, the religious system that once helped him will be removed.
In the provided clips, Les Feldick identifies the second beast of Revelation 13 as both a man and a religious system. He stresses that it is a satanic religious system: the leader has two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, and he receives his power from Satan. Les says this religious system works 'hand in glove' with the Antichrist, exercising all the power of the first beast and causing the earth and its inhabitants to worship the Antichrist rather than the God of creation. Les also calls this arrangement a counterfeit trinity: Satan counterfeits God the Father, the Antichrist counterfeits God the Son, and the false prophet counterfeits the Holy Spirit. He describes the religious leader as having a great religious organization at his disposal, using it to convince people to worship the first beast. The clips do not cover the later destruction of this religious system; Les's emphasis in these passages is on its satanic origin, its deceptive religious appearance, and its purpose of directing worship to the Antichrist.
Les Feldick teaches that the second beast in Revelation 13 is a religious government and a religious leader. It is a satanic religious system that rises out of the earth, and its leader has two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon (Revelation 13:11). In the same verse, the Bible says, 'And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake like a dragon.'
Les says the religious leader exercises all the power of the first beast 'before him' and causes the earth to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed (Revelation 13:12). He describes this as a great religious organization at the false prophet's disposal, used to convince people to worship the Antichrist. In other words, the religious system is not the final object of worship; it exists to make the world worship the beast and his empire.
Scripture says the ten horns on the beast will destroy the religious system. Revelation 17:16 states, 'And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.' Second Thessalonians 2:4 explains why: the Antichrist exalts himself above all that is called God, so he will not share worship or authority with any religion.
In the provided clip, Les identifies the ten horns as ten kings, presidents, or prime ministers. The Bible confirms this in Revelation 17:12: 'And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.' Revelation 17:16 then shows these same ten horns hating the religious system and burning it with fire.
The Ten Horns Are Ten Kings
Les explains that the ten horns John saw are ten kings or rulers, and these are the same political powers involved with the beast and its religious system.
The Antichrist's Blasphemy
Les shows that the Antichrist will blaspheme God and war against heaven, which sets the stage for his rejection of any rival worship.
A Satanic Religious System
Les identifies the second beast as a religious government and religious leader who receives power from Satan, making the system satanic.
A Satanic Religious System (Parallel Teaching)
Les repeats that the second beast is a religious leader who appears lamb-like but speaks like a dragon, and is therefore a satanic religious system.
The Religious Leader Promotes the Antichrist
Les says the religious leader exercises the power of the first beast and causes everyone on earth to worship the political Antichrist.
The Religious Leader Promotes the Antichrist (Parallel Teaching)
Les repeats that the religious leader, under the inspiration of Satan, makes the world worship the first beast.
A Counterfeit Trinity
Les describes the unholy trinity of Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet, with the false prophet counterfeiting the Holy Spirit in his operation.
A Worldwide Religious Organization
Les explains that the false prophet has a great religious organization at his disposal and uses it to convince people to worship the Antichrist.
Revelation 17:16: And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
This is the direct statement of what happens to the religious system associated with the beast.
2 Thessalonians 2:4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
This explains why the Antichrist will destroy every rival religious system.
Revelation 13:11: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake like a dragon.
This describes the religious leader and system Les identifies with the second beast.
Revelation 13:12: And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
This shows the religious system's purpose: causing the world to worship the Antichrist.
Revelation 17:12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
This identifies the ten horns as the kings who eventually destroy the religious system.
Revelation 13:4: And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
The worship directed to the beast is connected to Satan's authority, which Les sees as the power behind the religious system.
Scripture says the ten horns on the beast will hate the religious system, make it desolate and naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (Revelation 17:16). Les Feldick's teaching in these clips describes the system as a satanic religious organization that worships the Antichrist, but the provided clips do not cover the moment of its destruction.
Revelation 17:16 says the ten horns on the beast will destroy it. In the provided clips, Les identifies the ten horns as ten kings, presidents, or prime ministers, so the destruction is carried out by the political rulers who had been propping up the system.
The Antichrist will not allow anyone else to be worshiped. Second Thessalonians 2:4 says he exalts himself above all that is called God, and Les shows in the clips that he blasphemes God and wars against heaven, so a shared religious system cannot survive his demand for absolute worship.
