As the world is increasingly marked by spiritual deception, best-selling author and prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn has sounded the alarm on what we can expect regarding the end times battle concerning the Lamb and the Beast.
Cahn explains that the book of Revelation presents two opposing forces: the Lamb, who represents Christ, and the beast, who embodies the spirit of the Antichrist.

Revelation warns of a time when people will be marked—either with the sign of the beast or with the seal of God. Cahn highlights that this is more than just a physical mark; it is a spiritual reality. Those who align with the beast system embrace a world driven by rebellion against God, while those who are marked by the Lamb choose faithfulness, even in the face of persecution.
“[Revelation] the lamb more than it calls him Jesus,” Cahn says. And the word is so deep it means He’s the Lamb.
“In Revelation 12, Satan is described…[as] a dragon. He is the great enemy and destroyer. He’s the great enemy of God’s people. In the Hebrew Scriptures, dragons also appear to symbolize evil.”
In contrast to the Lamb, Revelation 13 introduces the beast—a terrifying figure symbolizing worldly empires and ultimately the Antichrist. This Beast embodies the lawlessness foretold in Daniel’s visions, representing the succession of kingdoms, such as Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, that have stood in opposition to God’s purposes.
“The Antichrist is going to be the embodiment of world power, the kingdoms of the world, the power that comes against God and against God’s kingdom,” Cahn says.
The Antichrist, empowered by Satan, will deceive the world, leading many away from the truth of Christ. He will be a ruler of great power, marked by blasphemy and persecution of believers. Yet, despite his temporary dominion, his defeat is certain. Revelation assures us that the Lamb will overcome the Beast, bringing about the final triumph of God’s kingdom.

There’s nothing new in this “prophetic“ word. Those of us who love the book of Revelation know this very well.
Fear not! Jesus Christ is Lord, now and forever. We know that the devil’s fury knows no limits because he knows his time is short. Be faithful until death, and he will give you the crown of life. (Revelation 2:10). ✝️⚓️💜
