Wounded to Death

“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” (Rev 13:3 KJV)

There is a lot of speculation as to the deadly wound of the beast being healed. There are two primary teachings:

One possibility is that the antichrist is actually killed and resurrected by Satan, possibly through the false prophet. Some believe that he is actually indwelt by Satan and that Satan rules through him. This could be Satan’s attempt to mimic the resurrection of Jesus.

Out of the Sea

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” (Rev 13:1 KJV)

The sea represents the world nations. The beast rising out of the sea is a compilation of the final world government, which many consider to be the revised Roman Empire, that will consist of ten kingdoms that will be under the control of the antichrist, and the antichrist himself, which will come from one of the ten kingdoms.
