Bible Question: Rev 13:3 states ...and all the world marveled and followed the beast. Should we be able to understand how the world is following the beast, or has this happened in the past or is still a future event, or worst are we in the world and do not see that we are following the beast ourselves? |
Bible Answer: '"And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast"...The whole earth is a figure of speech. It does not mean every single individual to the last man on the face of the earth. Rather, it means mankind in general. An overwhelming majority of the living earth-dwellers will be amazed by the composite beast’s ability to come back to life after death. The reader will notice that the phrase "and followed" is in italics in the NASB. That’s because it does not appear in the original Greek. The sense of the text is this: a majority of the people became followers of the composite beast following his restoration.'
