What does the Bible mean when it describes a power with “two horns like a lamb” but warns that it will eventually speak “like a dragon”?
In this episode of the Gio & Joey Show, we explore the historic Protestant interpretation of Revelation 13:11—particularly the understanding that the lamb-like horns represent the American principles of republicanism and Protestantism: civil liberty without a king and religious liberty without a pope.
We discuss America’s emergence as a refuge from political oppression and religious intolerance, the biblical foundations of liberty of conscience, and the tension between legitimate civil authority and our supreme obligation to God.
How do we determine what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God? When should Christians obey the government? When must they respectfully refuse? And how can a nation founded upon lamb-like principles begin to speak like a dragon?
Key passages include Revelation 13:11–17, Matthew 22:15–22, Romans 13:1–10, Acts 5:29, Daniel 3, Daniel 6, and Revelation 14:6–12.
Join Gio and Joey for a Bible-centered conversation about prophecy, government, religious liberty, love, and faithfulness to God.
