“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.”
It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed - the false prophet serves as the propaganda arm of political power, promoting worship of the beast-state. Religious deception becomes the handmaid of political tyranny.
