Exercising Power
“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.” (Rev 13:12 KJV)
The false prophet will be second in command after the antichrist. His mission and goal will be to force everyone on Earth to worship the beast. The people on Earth will be astonished by the deadly wound of the antichrist being healed. They will see the antichrist and the false prophet as objects of worship.
