Revelation 13 verse 13 to 15
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 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.
15 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.
Even though the Papacy's deadly wound will heal, its mindset and principles have not changed. It will once again reflect the image it had in the Dark Ages.
Answer: The Papacy, which was a religious power, joined forces with the government to make sure that everyone followed its rules regarding religion and worship. Persecution and injustice were bound to happen.
Verse 13–15 of the passage says that America will use great powers and wonders to trick and persuade the people that they should make this image of the Papacy (Authority of the Roman Catholic Church).
In front of the people, he even makes fire fall from the sky, which looks like a fake Pentecost. As the disciples prayed, the real Holy Spirit came down on their heads like tongues of fire and gave them power to teach the gospel.
That's how Satan is using this land Beast to trick and force people to bring back the union between church and state. This union, according to verse 15, will "speak" and force worship through its harshness.
When the union of church and state comes to life, it will speak out to encourage people to follow and worship.
