## Resource

Revelation 13 Today, Jordon and Jackie pull back the curtain on how the dragon wages war on earth: not just through violence, but through systems that demand worship. In this episode of Theology Unbound, we explore the two beasts: one representing oppressive power, the other enforcing it through deception, propaganda, and economic pressure. Rather than fueling speculation or fear, this conversation centers on allegiance: who you worship, who you trust, and what you’re willing to endure. We walk through the Old Testament backdrop, the meaning of the mark and 666, and how Revelation calls believers to faithful endurance in the face of counterfeit authority. The goal isn’t paranoia, but rather discernment, courage, and unwavering loyalty to the Lamb.
