Church Fathers on Revelation 13:12

“And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth.” He is speaking of the great and false prophet who is to do signs, and portents, and falsehoods before him in the presence of men. “And he had two horns like a lamb — that is, the appearance within of a man — and he spoke like a dragon.” But the devil speaks full of malice; for he shall do these things in the presence of men, so that even the dead appear to rise again.
