So what are these fake miracles? In Apocalypse 13:13 it says: “And he [the beast] did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth in the sight of men”. But this is speaking of a “beast with two horns” (v.11). If this is literal “fire coming down from heaven” are we to also expect that this “fire” performance is done by a Houdini looking like “a lamb” with literal “two horns”?
Modern people do not understand how the ancient easterners tell a story in parable format. John speaks in allegory, vision, sort of a dream, a piece of wisdom. He tells it in hints as a story of what the church has to endure throughout the ages after John departs. This is a theme that runs all the way through the end of the Apocalypse.
