well, we know the Beast is a system. I don't believe the beast is a man. But a system run by mankind.
I say we know, like everyone agrees lol perhaps they don't.
It's what I believe.
I guess the interpretation of what the beast is would come from the book of Daniel.
Dan 7:7
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it
was diverse from all the beasts that
were before it; and it had ten horns.
Dan 7:11
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld
even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Dan 7:19
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth
were of iron, and his nails
of brass;
which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Dan 7:23
Thus he said,
The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
So the beast in revelation I believe is this same beast or kingdom spoken of by Daniel.
the beast is slain, it's body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Sounds a lot like getting thrown into the lake of fire to me.
ok. Im gonna get my pick and start digging.
I don't have the answers, but you know, we know their in there. We just have to dig for them.
