Revelation 13:15

He was 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.

• ·        The beast rising from the earth will use a deceptive, animated image as the focus point of the worship of the beast. (DG)

• ·        It may seem strange to us to have the whole world give this kind of worship to the image of a man, but the personality cults of totalitarian governments in the twentieth century are a good example of this kind of worship. (DG)

Deuteronomy 4:16    lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure; the likeness of male or female

Daniel 3:18  But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.
