“And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon.

Revelation 13:11

This wild beast has two horns, indicating a partnership of two political powers. And it is described as coming out of the earth, not out of the sea. Thus, it comes out of Satan’s already established earthly system of things. It must be a world power, already existing, that takes on a significant role during the Lord’s day.
