11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

A. We are now introduced to the second beast. This beast rises from the earth.

B. He is described as looking like a lamb. I believe this indicates that it would look religious.

C. But, he speaks like a dragon. In summary, He looks like Jesus and talks like Satan.

D. He has two horns. Horns are a symbol of power. Two is the number of strength. This beast has strong power.

E. Remember that Jesus is described as a lamb with seven horns. (5:6) Jesus IS the Lamb of God. He has complete power. This beast has two horns, indicating strong power. And this beast looks LIKE a lamb. It is NOT a lamb, it just appears that way.
