Image or statue of the Beast out of the Sea (first beast)
The image speaks and deceives people because it is alive or appears to have life.
The sea is often used to symbolise the mass of mankind.
Image of the beast of the sea is set up and given life by the beast of the earth (second Beast).
The image or copy of the first beast is created by the second beast. It issues decrees and none may buy or sell unless they think and do as it does.
So what is this image going to look like well it must be able to talk.
Is it solid or a hologram or is it imagary of a system that is man made or made by Satan.
Remember that both beasts will be men.

Revelation 13:14-15
The Image of the Beast out of the Sea made by the Beast out of the Earth - 3rd Beast.
14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
