From Rev.19:20...
"The beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image."
What signs did the false prophet perform, on the Beasts' behalf?
Rev.13:14-17 tells us...
"14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to ***set up an image*** in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to ***give breath to the image of the first beast***, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image, to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, (Mark-of-Beast) 17 so that they could not buy or sell (Buying-and-Selling) unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number (666) of its name."
The false prophet orders the inhabitants of the earth, to set up an idol that represents the beast. It "gives breath" to that image, so that the Beast can execute, any who refuse to worship its' image. Consequently, other symbolic restraints are also imposed and enforced.
How does the Bible itself interpret the meaning, of giving the Image/Idol of the Beast, "breath"?
John 20:21,22,23 tells us:
"21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Receiving breath, is receiving spirit. Those to whom Jesus gives holy spirit, are being sent forth to work for Christ, and are given the power to forgive (or not forgive) sins.
At Rev.13:7, we are also told, that this alliance between the false prophet and it's Beast, "conquers the holy ones".
Do we see any "Beast"... any identity or group, whose image is being imbued with a facade of spirit-authority and power, by a false prophet?
At John 20:21,22,23, we saw that Jesus gave holy spirit to his anointed chosen ones, bestowing on them a commission to teach truth, and authority over the forgiveness of sin

(John 20:23; 1Cor.6:2,3; Matt.18:18).
But who is it that is actually exercising that authority and power today... even over the anointed Chosen?
What image today, by declaration of a prophet, seems "spirit-directed", and as a result, the tangible representatives and enforcers of worship toward that image, can pass the judgment of spiritual life or death...
(over those who refuse to accept that image as being spirit-directed),
...even over the chosen ones?

I do hope that those interested, will learn more about Rev.13:14,15,16,17. The Bible's own interpretation of those verses are shocking, and fulfillment of the details of that interpretation, are in plain sight. Please, consider the links in this post, use the search box, as well as the list of articles at the top-right of this page. There are also articles in my profile (just click on my name).
