The First Beast in Revelation 13

In Revelation 13:1, the first beast that comes out of the “sea of humanity” is worldly wisdom.

We are warned repeatedly about worldly wisdom in 1Cor 2:12-14, Col 2:8, and in 1John 2:15-22   among many other references in the Bible.

Moral Opposites are shown side by side in Deuteronomy (Deut 30:15) and John’s Gospel (John 12:44-50) .  Read about the contrast of  Godly Wisdom vs Worldly Wisdom in both books in the link below.
