Another angle to look at the "FIRE" that comes down in the sight of men.....could it be what some Christians call "strange fire"? That charismatic "rain"/fire (tongues & faith healing crowd)?
This 2nd beast (U.S.) that enforces the mark-of-the-beast onto the world is where this fake latter rain began. It was the Azusa street movement in L.A. California in the first decade of the 1900's. The Azusa Street Revival is from whence the charismatic fire swept the earth the last century.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,......
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
Revelation 13:12-14
Hmmmmm....it all began with
a confusion of tongues at Babel & will
it end likewise---in spiritual Babylon
in the "fire" of the confusion
of tongues? (charismatic in this case)...interesting...
P.S. - the "false prophet" of Revelation helping to prop up the "beast" of Revelation by its charismatic capabilities? The charismatic movement (the "fire" of the babel of gibberish tongues & faith healing--attributed to the Holy Spirit as fire from heaven) recently praised the "beast". Remember that tape of charismatic TV evangelist, joined by other leaders, praying for the Pope?
