The Image of the Beast as a Parody of the Two Witnesses

  • Regents Theological College

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article will examine the parodic characterisation of the image of the beast (Rev 13.15) who mimics the two witnesses (11.3–12) from a literary perspective. There is evidence of this mimicry based on the appearance of the textual markers, εἰκών and πνεῦμα. This study will examine parody in relation to other parodic characterisations that appear in the Apocalypse.
