Christ or Lucifer
The Inhabitants of the Earth refuse to follow the Lamb, choosing instead to give their allegiance to the Dragon. In Revelation , there is no geographic restriction on the reign of the “ Beast from the Se a.” All the “ Inhabitants of the Earth ” take its “ Mark ” or “ Number ” and venerate it, and no government resists the “ Beast .” It is granted “ authority over every tribe, people, tongue and nation .” There are no exceptions to the rule beyond the “ saints .”
