The Two Beasts

The Two Beasts

Author: Epikos Church August 3, 2025 Duration: 41:34
In this week's message, Pastor Mark Deering explains how Satan attempts to imitate God by creating false versions of divine authority, worship, and power, positioning himself as a deceptive alternative to Christ. The message warns against the subtle seduction of "Babylon" in modern life, particularly how Christians in religiously free societies may be lulled into complacency and drawn toward worldly values like power, celebrity, youth, beauty, wealth, success, and self-gratification. Rather than focusing on end-times speculation about the mark of the beast (666), the sermon emphasizes that Satan's deception is already present through any government, system, or structure that opposes Christ, and challenges believers to examine whether they are truly living as part of "Team Lamb" (following Jesus) or have been subtly seduced into living according to "Team Dragon's" values.
