Who is the second beast that rose out of the earth? What is the “mark of the beast” and what does it mean? Cale continues to unpack this mysterious chapter by drawing on history, as well as both the Old and New Testament to shed light on what the text means.

Revelation 13 is perhaps one of the most misunderstood chapters in the Book of Revelation. In it we see two beasts, one that rises out of the sea and another that rises out of the earth. What does the number 666 mean? Who is this first beast? In this episode, Cale gives the historical context for this passage and what it meant to the first hearers of this Scripture, which in turn helps us to understand it when we read it today.

In Revelation 12 we see a great eagle, the very earth devouring God’s enemies, and ‘the dragon’ waging war against ‘the woman’s offspring’. Cale helps us understand what it all means in this episode of TFE.

In Revelation 12 we see St. Michael the Archangel battle ‘the great dragon’, Satan. Why did Lucifer (Satan) rebel against God in the first place? The Cross of Christ is ultimately what defeated the Devil. Cale breaks it all down on this episode of TFE.

In Revelation 12, we see “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars”. Who is she? Who is the red dragon that is seeking to destroy her and her child? Cale shows how the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant. There are fascinating parallels between Revelation 12, the Gospel of Luke, and 2 Samuel.
