False image of YHWH presented as "complete and set apart" via seven heads, with ten horns crowned as "kings", used for conquest and a certain head that was killed by the sword, yet lived.

It can be an individual or a nation, or other things depending on how you look at it.

The Beast is an actual man.


Revelation 19:20

King James Version (KJV)

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

There is Ur beast.
The beast, brethren is not a system,

scripture clearly proves this. The "mark of the beast" highlights a "system", but the "beast" is a man.

Psalms 49:16-20

16*Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

17*For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

18*Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

19*He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

20*Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

BRETHREN, Let me fill you in.
If you would read ur bible, it tells you.
If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand,
its not a person its the new world order, and get there mark . false prophets are people trying to bring in the sistem in place.

All I know is that scriptures use the word beast to represent goats among other animals.
Beast of the field
More often than not though it refers to a goat.

I believe you must interpret the bible with the bible. In the book of Daniel "Beasts" are kingdoms. I believe the Beast in Revelation in Rome corporately and Nero individually. My position would be called othodox preterism, some call it partial preterism, meaning most of Revelation is in the past and refers to 70AD, only the last 3 Chapters are present/future events. Although I think most of Revelations events are past doesn't mean that there are similar principles for applied for all history and future events. I believe Most of the events in Revelation 1-19 can be explained biblically and historically in my view.

Of course people are all over the place on this, thank God eschatology doesn't save you! I'll let some of the dispensationalist/futurists explain their view.

So, here is a study for you. The word beast is used 296 times. I know that when something is used as a symbol it flows through scriptures as a theme. Eat this one up, I think I am going to *_*

oh, it flows as a theme and each time you see it you are given little bits of information

Beasts are known in the Bible as kings and kingdoms every king needs a kingdom


Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

Daniel 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

The beast was a world system. Political. With religion riding it.
To say it had a mark of a man...in charge. Doesnt force it to
mean that a man was the beast. Daniel helps in this.

Abiding,

I think it is appropriate and the right time for you to let go and inform everyone that you are 'the beast'. lol

You have a choice. These were recommended by my local barber shop, but you have to be careful. It comes with a sharpening leather strap, it's in that bag.
