And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
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, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:11-15
Roy Orbison has long been one of this blogger's favourite singers; I was fortunate to see him in concert in 1981, and was Crying when I heard of his death in December 1988. I thought the only way to see him perform live again would be In Dreams, but if I want to Ride Away or be Borne on the Wind, I can join The Crowd and catch the Big O on tour
in the United Kingdom,
continental Europe, and Australia in April-May 2018.
The fact that an artist who's been dead for almost 30 years can perform concerts by means of a hologram (the accompanying orchestra is presumably real) shows how far the technology has advanced that can create (or recreate) the impression of a live performance, and gives further indication of how the image of the beast will come about, and how people will be deceived into worshipping the image. It's Too Soon to Know how successful the hologram technology will work on Roy Orbison's 2018 tour (there's always the chance of a Communication Breakdown before It's Over), but readers who are Running Scared and asking Where is Tomorrow should waste no time in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and receiving the salvation He has provided, lest they find themselves Falling or Drifting Away. The prophecies concerning the Beast, his mark, and image, were given 2,000 years ago, and are in the process of being fulfilled, right on schedule. The return of the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the most important and frequent subjects of New Testament prophecy; that too, will occur right on schedule, and the stage is being set.
