Revelation 13:18 in the Bible?

Question

Who is this beast?

Answer 1

There are some clues, but no one can actually point out who it is. If you look at other verses, however, the Bible says the anti-christ will set up a one world order. President Bush Sr. announced his "New World Order." Sound familiar? There is much more on this, but we won't have time here. Feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail] if you so desire. Generally, though, people have been predicting who "The Beast" is for years and never gotten it right. Someone worked out a mathmatical formula that said that the letters in Henry Kissinger added up to 666. They have said that about many great men, but so far they have all been wrong.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is very involved. The key to the book of Revelation is the book of Daniel. Read chapter 7. In any prophecy a beast is a civil government. Chapter 7 verse 17 shows this. The end time beast is a modern country. It's ancient name is Assyria. They invented crucifixion as an execution. Germany is modern Assyria. Please don't write any hate mail - it's historical fact!

Answer 3

The beast is a man. The anti Christ. This man is described in Rev. 6:2 as a man riding in a white horse. The rider had a bow, and a victors crown had been given to him. He went out as a conqueror and to conquer. In Rev 19:11 There is also a white horse and the rider is named as Faithful and True. This is the true Christ but in Rev 6:2 is referring to the Anti Christ.

Answer 4

I am-as I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. God is for he created it and so it has become him. You are for we are all hiding behind our true selves. But the one in the bible came about when the men of times-gone-bye-bye found the skeletal remains of a dinosaur and saw the hideous teeth and huge size and said "Dragon" as one will see no reference to dinosaurs in the bible which we know roamed the earth millions of years ago-so like man does he needs REASON and creates answers-theory's in Science-but when you see that religion can control the population you use it to your advantage. If you think about the fact that We The Living are parasites on the skin of our Mother Earth and that we are like a cancer that she herself cannot cure than you see us as the beast. What I don't understand is that the bible says the beast will be slain-so is hell in fact the bar-b-que pit and are the Angels going to eat Roast Beast?

Answer 5

The World In Its Present State All Governments In Power
The Fact The Kingdom Has Not Yet Arrived

Answer 6

Revelation was written by the christian mystics. But let me check to be sure... ... ... one moment please... ... ... yes it's true, Revelation is full of numerology, mysticism, magic, alchemy, astrology, polytheism including at least one goddess. Now that we know it was written in Egypt by the spiritual christians, we know also that all the events (without exception) occur [within]. It all happens within, not without. Jesus & Co. were mystics. It's all about the battle within. It's completely spiritual. Any attempt to make it literal, or external will fail. This book is not an instruction for the "end times," they wrote it for everyone past, present and future. Beast is inside, he needs to be slain (instructions are found in the same book).

Answer 7

Either The Roman Emperor or an agent of the devil. I think it is both as revelation takes on a multi-layerd significance - relevant both in its original historical context and as a revelation of what is to come and how todays reality came about.

quite complex - but incredibly awesome!!

Answer 8

(REV.13:18) on the Pope's Crown (tiara) are these letters: VICARIUS FILII DEI; what do they signify? OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, (CATHOLIC WEEKLY) BUREAU OF INFORMATION," HUNTINGTON, IND., APRIL 18, 1915.
ROMAN NUMERALS FOR THESE LETTERS ARE: V=5; I=1; C=100; X=10; U=5; D=500; L=50 = THEY ADD UP TO 666.

*Now we have alot of information about the beast; to start out with; we should find out (2THESS.2:4) "who claims to be God" and is "worshipped"?
Let's see; this church (Rev.17:9)"sits on 7 hills" in Rome. It wears (REV.17:4)"purple and scarlet". It is a (REV.17:5)"mother church", so it has daughters or other churches following her. It will think (DAN.7:25)"to change times and laws." GENERAL CATHOLIC CATECHISM
It even has casted "all the truth to the ground" = Dan.8:12
"All the world has followed it" = Rev.13:12-15
*It had a(REV.13:1-3)deadly wound that was healed.
THE CATHOLIC ADVOCATE (AUSTRALIA), APRIL 18,1929.
FRONT PG. OF S.F. CHRONICLE WITH HEADLINE "HEAL WOUND OF MANY YEARS"; FEB.12,1929)

*Daniel 2:32,38; 7:4; 3:1 "Head of Gold" = Lion = Babylon = King Nebuchadnezzar
*Daniel 2:32: 7:5: 5:25-28; 6:28; 8:20 "Breast and Arms of Silver" = Bear = Medo-Persia = King Darius & Cyrus
*Daniel 2:32; 7:6: 8:21 "Belly and thighs of brass" = Leopard = Greece = Alexander the Great
*Daniel 2:33; 7:7,8,24,25: 8:9,12 "Legs of Iron" = Dreadful Beast = Rome
*Daniel 2:33 "Feet part of iron and part of clay" = Divided Empire

**Now the 10 horns represents kings or kingdoms and 1 comes up among the them and destroys (DANIEL 7:8,23,24)three. THE 10 HORNS ARE POLITICAL: ANGLO-SAXONS, FRANKS, ALAMMI, OSTROGOTHS, LOMBARD, SUEVI, BURGUNDIANS, VISIGOTHS, VANDALS, HERULI, AND THEN A LITTLE HORN COMES UPON THE SCENE THAT IS RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL THAT HAS DESTROYED THE HERULI, VANDALS AND OSTROGOTHS. NOW DETERMINING WHO THE HORN IS: A.C. FLICK, THE RISE OF THE MEDIAEVAL CHURCH. (PUTNAM'S 1909 ED.)PP.148-149.
*FROM ALL THE CLUES; WE KNOW IT'S THE ROMAN EMPIRE (REV.17:4; COMPARE TO MATT.27:28 AND MARK 15:17

ACTUALLY THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S VERY SIMPLE REALLY; YOU HAVE TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF IT.
THE OPPOSITE OF THE MARK IS THE "SEAL OF GOD" WHICH IS IN THE 4TH COMMANDMENT(EXOD.20:8-11; REV.14:7). NOW LOOK WHAT REV.7:2-3 SAYS "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA. SAYING, HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
SO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".
BUT IF YOU DON'T KEEP HIS DAY(MARK) AND FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH(IMAGE); HE WILL GIVE YOU THIS(REV.14:9-11).

REALLY HIS IMAGE IS GOING TO COME ALIVE! WHEN HE PUTS CHURCH AND STATE TOGETHER. HERE'S JUST A PIECE OF IT IN--"POPE'S DREAM OF HEALING CHRISTIAN RIFT STILL A DISTANT GLIMMER" IN ENTERPRISE RECORD DATED: SUNDAY JUNE 12, 2005.

TO BE SUCH MEANS "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."--REV.19:20

THE SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF:

TRUE CHRISTIANITY VS. FALSE CHRISTIANITY
FOLLOWING JESUS(COL.2:6) OR NOT FOLLOWING JESUS(PHIL.2:21).
THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
