Image of Beast
I King (Daniel) kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat ....
His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.

Scripture indicates that the Beast who attains worldwide worship (Rev. Rev. 13:8+)
“opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is
worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself
that he is God” (2Th. 2Th. 2:4). But there is a catch—the Beast is not God. In particular, he lacks God’s unique attribute of omnipresence. So as long as he himself remains sitting in the Temple,
he is unable to venture forth on the various campaigns which are
associated with his activities at the time of the end. This seems to be
the motivation behind the instructions by the False Prophet that the earth dwellers should “make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived” [#1-#19] (Rev. Rev. 13:14+b). Having established the image, the False Prophet is “granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” [#18-#19] (Rev. Rev. 13:15+ cf. Rev. 14:9+). This is perhaps one of the most remarkable statements in all of Scripture as it appears that the False Prophet
is allowed, by the sovereignty of God’s permissive control of evil, to
give the image life. Although we can’t be sure, it seems reasonable to
think that one purpose of the image is to continue to occupy the holy
place within the Temple allowing the Beast to venture forth to attend to
his many responsibilities—leaving an icon present as the focal point of
worship. Notice that both the Beast and his image are the objects of worship (Rev. Rev. 13:15+; Rev. 19:20+). Those who refuse to worship the image are killed [#19-#20]! Although the man of sin himself first sits in the Temple (2Th. 2Th. 2:3-4),
Jesus infers that something inanimate is set up in the holy place:
“Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place. . .” (Mtt. Mat. 24:15). The abomination in this verse is not a person (masculine or feminine) but a thing (neuter). Perhaps it is the image of the Beast?1
It is impossible to know for certain. Yet, this would help explain one
purpose of the image of the Beast. Following the judgments of the sixth
trumpet “the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did
not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols . . .” [emphasis added] (Rev. Rev. 9:20+). Interestingly, the image of the Beast is the ultimate work of their hands since the False Prophet “deceives those who dwell on the earth . . . to make an image to the beast” (Rev. Rev. 13:14+). Thus, they themselves make the ultimate idol
(icon) of their own worship! The image of the Beast is typified by
Nebuchadnezzar’s gold image which his subjects were required to worship
on penalty of death: Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it
true, . . . that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image
which I have set up? . . . if you do not worship, you shall be cast
immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the
god who will deliver you from my hands?” (Dan. Dan. 3:14-15)
In the same way that Nebuchadnezzar’s image received worship on his behalf, so will the image of the beast receive worship together with the Beast himself. See Tribulation Temple. See commentary on Revelation 13:14. See Symbols of Kingdoms.
Notes
1
The gender of the words used is not a foolproof means of determining
the nature of the image because the gender of words does not always
match their object. For example, although Jesus says to watch for the abomination (neuter), that which the earth dwellers make is an image (feminine) of the Beast (neuter). Still, Jesus’ words imply that an object rather than a person will stand in the holy place.

And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children--all who keep God's commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus. [18] Then the dragon took his stand on the shore beside the sea.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
