"But the beast with lamblike horns was seen “coming up out of the earth.” Instead of overthrowing other powers to establish itself, the nation thus represented must arise in territory previously unoccupied and grow up gradually and peacefully. It could not, then, arise among the crowded and struggling nationalities of the Old World—that turbulent sea of “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” It must be sought in the Western Continent. GC 440.1"
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
EGW directly references and interprets Revelation 13:11.
