The Beast Revelation

This letter is dedicated to all Christians.

The following letter is a summary of Revelation 13. Its purpose is to show the method used in finding the conclusions which have been stated. Nothing new has been added from my previous letters. It is more of a compilation of them all. This writing is the same material in different words. The Bible uses this same method of explanation. There are four Gospels. In each you see a different view of the same material. This can be beneficial because the meaning becomes more exact. Although, if this is a first time reader, then this will all be news to you. With that in mind, here we go.

The first thing that should be addressed when doing any study of Bible prophecy is what questions do I intend to answer. Some of these questions can seem a little simplistic, but their answers are much more complicated. In my studies there were only a few questions that I saw as needing an answer. My questions were very simple. First, who is this individual who is identified by the number 666? Second, who is the false prophet and how does he make the whole world worship the beast whose number is 666. Another question has to do with these same individuals. Could these two individuals be the same person, or for that matter Satan himself? Where is Satan during all this? That last question is very important. It actually goes straight to the answer of all the questions. Finally, when would someone expect to see these individuals on the Earth? Literally, what time frame should I see them? Those are the questions. The answers are much more involved.

This narrative will attempt to show how the answers are figured out. These answers can be seen from events that happen in the nightly news. This leads me to a key, which most of us know, but most of us forget. The Bible is a history book. Some events have happened, while some are waiting to happen. It is the ones that have not happened that we are most concerned with. Here is another key. By the way, these keys I speak of are keys to understanding. The Lord spoke in parables. The reason he gave was that it was for some to know the mysteries of God, while it was for some to know not. In hearing, they do not hear. In seeing, they do not see. I compare it to telling the truth, while hiding it at the same time. Many of the parables that the Lord spoke he immediately gave an answer to. He showed how he used certain symbols and words to describe subjects and then gave their meanings. Now for the punch line. The Lord also spoke in parables that he did not identify. These parables go straight to the hidden meaning of these end times. Another key is word substitution. An example of this is a pretty well-known item from Revelation. This word substitution deals with Revelation 13:1. The beast has seven heads and ten horns. In Revelation 17 those heads and horns are defined. The heads are identified as mountains, while the horns are identified as kings. This changes the whole picture of what the beast is symbolically to what it is literally. Now Rev.13:1 can be read as follows with just the items discussed thus far. And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven mountains and ten kings. That is a simple and easy word substitution. Know that this will happen many times throughout the Bible.

Now, getting back to the questions. The question is, where is Satan? If this question can be answered, you can eliminate some others. Some prophecy teachers believe that Satan is the beast, or that Satan is the false prophet. This interpretation is misleading, and it also creates a stumbling block in the path to a proper interpretation. I almost always get this question. How can you know who the beast is when he cannot be revealed? 2nd Thess. Chapter 2 states that he cannot be revealed, until something is removed first. Most scholars have this part right. That is a picture of the Rapture. What they have wrong is that Satan and the beast are not the same individual. Satan cannot be revealed until after the rapture, but he is not the beast. Therefore, I can identify the beast and his false prophet. People say prove it. So I did. I told them how to understand using the keys that I have mentioned. Revelation 13 is a parable, but God is not giving the definition, or the explanation. This one is for us to figure out. Ok, so where is Satan? In the book of Job, we get a view of Satan's abilities. In one scene, he is discussing with God about Job. Question, where is God? He is in heaven. Also, in his conversation with God Satan is talking as if he knows and has seen Job. God declares that he can do whatever he wants to Job, but he was not allowed to kill him. Now we know something else about Satan. He also has access to the Earth, and can affect peoples lives. So, it appears that Satan can be everywhere he wants to be, on Earth or in heaven. We know Satan and his angels will be cast out of heaven as per Revelation 12. This would further the idea that he is now in heaven. We also see Satan one other time, when he tempted Christ during his time on Earth. It says that he was taken to the wilderness to be tempted of Satan? Most people, and rightly so, have thought the wilderness to be a place on Earth, but this is a parable I believe. The Lord was in the wilderness and was tempted by Satan, but the wilderness is in heaven. This parable is read in Isaiah 35. It is the wilderness and the solitary place where the redeemed of the Lord walk. So, this last item being the most hard to prove, suffice it to say, that when Rev.12 says Satan will be cast out, he must be there in heaven to be cast out. Alright, now we can answer a couple questions. One, Satan is himself, and he is in heaven. Therefore, he is not the beast or the false prophet. These three work together, but each has his own identity.

Now to dissect Revelation 13. As I have already stated, Revelation 13 is a word substitution parable. The seven heads are seven mountains and the ten horns are ten kings. Ok, we know from this description that the beast as described is a group of possibly ten countries. This brings me to another point. There are three definitions for the beast in Revelation 13. The first is a group of countries rising up out of the sea. The second is in Rev.13:11 and is a beast with two horns (kings). Remember horns are kings as per Rev. 17. Finally, there is a beast who is identified by the number 666. It is this last beast that causes all to receive a mark and that no man can buy and sell save he who has the mark, his number, or his name. There are three items here. Nowhere does it say that the mark is the number 666. This might have been a good guess 20 yrs. ago , but it is pretty hard to believe. Imagine people running around with a mark of 666 on their right hands. It sounds like a cartoon, but this is what the prophecy teachers want you to believe. Ok, another problem that sounds like a cartoon is the interpretation of the word "all." They want you to believe that no man could buy or sell if they did not worship the beast and take his mark. Interpreting the word "all" to mean everyone in the world. This is not the case. For one, we know that the beast is made up of only possibly ten countries. Everyone in this world lives in roughly 190 countries. I don't think we could possibly mean everyone. How about, all of those people concerned with the mark. Also, how do you cause all people concerned to receive a mark, and why? The most obvious way to mark everyone is at the voting booth. All people, rich and poor, small and great, or free and bond are potential voters. So, Mahmoud Abbas was elected president of the Palestinian Authority, and in the process all voters received an indelible ink mark on their right hands. This mark was to prevent double voting and corruption in the election. Ok, we have a mark. It is not 666. At this point he fits the part, but not completely. Still, there is no ready identification of 666 concerning him. This election was in January 2005.

Back to Rev.13. We have seven mountains and ten kings. Prophecy teachers want us to believe that a city with seven mountains is the seat of the antichrist and he rules with ten nations. Their logical conclusion was the Europe Union and the Vatican. This started the revived Roman empire theory. This theory has been around since the reformation. It is hard to believe this charade has gone on so long. Teachers are still preaching the Revived Roman Empire. This theory had some validity before the twentieth century and now has to be eliminated. None of these teachers could have predicted the fall of the Ottoman Empire and its division into so many separate sovereign nations. Back to our word substitution. There is an interesting item here concerning the word mountains in scripture. The word mountains can have two meanings. It can be either a mountain range, or a nation. This is the hardest part of this whole exercise, trying to figure out what mountains are describing. Teachers will have you believe it is a city with seven mountains. In actual fact, mountains here are referring to nations. This also pertains to the head wound. The wound was not a literal head wound at all, but was a nation that was wounded. The beast's head or nation was wounded and was healed. This is the Palestinian Authority after the beginning of the Oslo Accords. The land that Israel possessed was now being given back to the Palestinians and the beast's nation is being healed. Ok, so now I have seven nations and ten kings, Rev.13:1. Why do I have three more kings than nations? It seems I have a king for each nation, but three left over. In Daniel in says the beast subdued three kings. These three kings don't necessarily have to be from different countries. It seems so, but is not expressly mentioned. It is another parable. The three kings who were subdued by the beast were Israeli Prime Ministers. These three Prime Ministers all served during the seven years of the Oslo Accords and were voted out of office because of terror perpetrated during Yasser Arafat's rule. Now, I am down to seven nations. These seven nations will wage war. I can easily see seven nations that will wage war here very soon; Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iran and the Palestinian Authority or Iraq, and there opponent Israel. This is exactly the same beast that is presented in Rev.17:10, just in a slightly different appearance. There are seven kings, five are fallen. This means five kings were defeated in war. Israel is referred to the "one that is," and the one that came later is the Palestinian Authority. This is a description of Israel's war for Independence. Literally, this was the beast being born. The war in 1967 is the beast rising up out of the sea in Rev.13:1. It was the unresolved issues of this conflict that resulted in the Oslo Accords of 1993. This seven year peace treaty was confirmed by Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat.

Now, there is another beast in Rev.13:11. This beast has two horns or kings. This is a picture of the Palestinian Authority after the elections of January 2006. This is when Hamas ran in the elections and won a majority in parliament. Now the P.A. was a country with two kings. Abbas was the President and Ismail Haniyeh was the Prime Minister. Here is where the problem with money came about. Western Nations did not want to donate money to a known terrorist organization so looked for a way they could still fund Abbas's P.A., but not let any money get to Hamas. This is when the number 666 identified an individual. The temporary international mechanism was adopted on June 16, 2006. This program allowed Western Nations to donate funds directly to Abbas, while bypassing Hamas. If you were a member of Fatah, or on Abbas's payroll you got paid. This is how the people were allowed to buy and sell. They received salaries, whereas before the mechanism, they had no way of getting paid from the Government. Hamas did not receive salaries. Also, Hamas did not receive the mark of the beast. They boycotted the elections for President in Jan. 2005.
It is more obvious who is being talked about the closer you get to the end.

In conclusion, to my three beast definitions. Mahmoud Abbas fits all three definitions. He was a member of the P.A. when it was formed. He took over from Yasser Arafat after his death. He was one of the two kings of the second beast in Rev.13:11. Lastly, he is the one identified by the number 666, which could have been Arafat had he lived.

Now, concerning the false prophet. The following four verses below all refer to the false prophet, Ismail Haniyeh.

Rev.13:11- 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.
Rev.13:12- And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev.13:13- "And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the Earth in the sight of men".
Rev.13:15- And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast, should be killed.


Hamas exercised all the power of the first beast (Abbas's P.A.) because they were now an equal partner in the Government. Also, the leader of Hamas caused them to worship or honor the first beast because Hamas would not honor the first beast. The first beast was the PA without Hamas as a member. The image of the beast is what the Government of Mahmoud Abbas represented. Verse 12 does not mention the image yet, we are just informed that the false prophet caused them to worship the first beast. Verse 14 and 15 gives the details of how that worshipping or honor was to commence. An image was created of the first beast that he (the false prophet) caused to be honored. This image of the beast is three items; the recognition of Israel, the honoring of all prior Palestinian agreements, and a renunciation of terror.

The last question I think that needs addressed is how do you know the timing is right? Meaning, there have been so many translations, how do you know that this one is correct? This is a question I always get asked. The answer, in my mind, is sort of a mix between two different prophecies. The first is the seven day prophecy as recorded in Genesis. It is a similitude between this and the amount of recorded time that has already happened on Earth. In the book of Peter, God says one day to him is as a thousand years. If that idea is applied to the Genesis creation, everyday that God created something one thousand years passed. Finally, on the last day he rested from his work, and his rest was one thousand years or one of God's days. This was one full week or 7000 years. After God's rest he started his work again, and he created Adam. Starting with Adam, it was approximately 4000 years to the time of Christ. Also, we know that Christ was here roughly 2000 years ago. If God was to be consistent with his one week schedule, then we could expect his day of rest to fall somewhere after the year two thousand. 4000 plus 2000 is six days and on the seventh he rested for one thousand years. This is not an exact estimate, but it can put you in the right ballpark when searching for the correct timing of Revelation. This is the estimate. The next item is more exact. Daniel 9:27 says that he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. Many in Hebrew is Rab. This was a covenant confirmed with Yitzhak Rabin. It was the beginning of land for peace, or the Oslo Accords. When you see this agreement happen you should be aware that this prophecy will last seven years. There is only one problem with this item. Prior to it happening, everyone thought that the end of the seventh year of the agreement God would return and begin his rest. Well, that did not happen. The reason was a logical misinterpretation. It just mentions that this agreement must occur along with the prophecies mentioned, not that they would all happen and end on the last day of the seventh year. This has thrown everyone watching off-course for a time. Although, this was not such a terrible mistake if the watcher could see the right answer and get his, or her perspective back. When you have these two items coinciding at the expected time, then you know Revelation can be interpreted with accuracy. The events should start happening, as they have, as I have recorded in this letter.

May God bless all who read this letter.

Christian films often portray that all those who have not received the mark of the beast will be killed, this is a symbolic truth. The circumstances are true, but they missed the real meaning due to some failed interpretations. All those who have not taken the mark are killed, this part is true, but those who have not taken the mark are Hamas. The mark was given during the elections for the president of the Palestinian authority, which was boycotted by Hamas. Hamas has never received the mark. Films like to portray all people as subject to the mark. This part is wrong. It only affects those Palestinians who did not take the mark, and not the whole world. It is only Hamas. This makes the mark as what the letter indicates. It was the indelible ink brand given to those who voted in the Palestinian elections.
 
Tattoo branding has been used even back during the Holocaust when they used to tattoo numbers onto Jewish prisoners. I think the USSR also used them on prisoners that were sent to gulags, but someone correct me if I'm wrong there.

I'm sorry, but I always giggle any time someone says they think THIS TIME they have the Book of Revelation all worked out. I mean, did I ever tell you the definition of insanity... ? The closest I have ever seen for a plausible explanation of it was by the LDS author G. Erik Brandt in his book, "The Book of Revelation". Once again, we find the LDS take is the most rational and grounded. Gee, look at that. And even THAT particular take I'm starting to wonder about.

Nobody really knows what Revelation is actually talking about, and if I'm being honest here, I kinda wish John never wrote it because I have seen SO much bullshit all in the name of that book. But that's not the big reveal. You wanna know what the big reveal is? Do you want to know... What the Book of Revelation is really about?

It doesn't matter. Instead of trying to make wild predictions from an incredibly vague and ancient book, perhaps you should instead be focusing your efforts on bettering yourself and bettering the lives of others around you. Get out of your house, volunteer, and go touch some goddamned grass.

They've been at it for 10 years if that

Copypastas were a mistake

What is more believable, a different story every year, or the same story for more than ten years? I haven't had to change anything in my words. It is only now that my words are more visible to the average person. The post of November 2015 proves that I am not changing my words to fit the times. The times are changing to fit my words.

Even if you were right, why does it matter?
 
The information does not matter to a non-Christian.

So, it's like an un-written, implied or non-verbal agreement between a mortal and a jealous murderous entity from beyond the veil, that can be broken or engaged at will at any time?

If you are not Christian, it does not apply to you, that's all. I state to whom the letter is written in the second line of the letter.
 
Oh for the love of God
But concerning that day or that hour, no one (οὐδεὶς) knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Mark 13:32)

There you go. I mean let face it when it does happen it’s not gonna be some Hollywood plot. It be a bloodbath pure and simple and we all be in the crosshairs. You had some good points that have already been theorized.

This is the problem with people and the end times thinking, is that you somehow think you can fix it or guess when it will happen. Look I believe in the End Time as it is written, but Im in the camp of well it happens it happens. I mean Hell im looking forward to it but im not going to jump at shadows over it. It in the book multiple times of do not worry it all by His plan. Ok rant over. @Houseman have fun with this one lol

So, are you accusing me of telling you the hour or the day? Usually, this is a reply to confuse, but there should be no confusion. I never stated anything close to what you are implying here.

Not quite, as my wording may be off in a way. I was more talking about how yes it good to keep an ear to the ground, but don’t have it there your whole lifetime. But people have been trying to understand it when John put it to paper, as it never worked out. We can all throw around theories on how it could happen or what is the signs, yet to much of this kind of thinking can be one of the most dangerous things to do.

On one point we might agree, this is a very dangerous game. I have been playing it for more than 35 years. I am well aware of the consequences.
 
I can again on that front. Im not calling you a lair or anything like that. I seen way to many people blow it out of proportion and the history has shown it happen time and time again. I do think our outlooks are very different on how we look at it.
 
It does not matter to a Christian either. Christ's teachings are exactly the same and do not change with the times.

A Christian already knows why it matters. If you are not a Christian, it does not apply to you.

I have to disagree with you on this one. As Christians this is the worst way of looking at the problem of End Time Prophecy. As Christians are commanded to share the good news and pray that the non Christian comes around. Not counting looking at this as Christian and not spreading the good news you’re doing the complete opposite of Christ’s own teachings. Now that doesn’t mean go full on southern fire and brimstone on their asses lol. But to explain and teach them on what the meaning and significance is.

It’s the same way of being a teacher. You slowly and easily explain it to them with an idea on how they interpret ideas, so that they can grasp it. Then you expand on that as well as giving them the why and how not counting the historical and spiritual significance in the process.

I'm not going to plead, or beg, or argue with anybody the merits of what I am saying. I am here to pass along some information to those who can use it. You can use it, give it to anyone, or ignore me. When I am done here, I will move on to somewhere else, and they will get the same thing. The information is for Christians and nobody else. You can keep your bleeding heart, I'm not interested. That may be your way of handling this situation, but it is not mine. I am way past that.
 
A Christian already knows why it matters. If you are not a Christian, it does not apply to you.

What, is there some secret about this only true Christian believers can know and us unwashed masses do not? Perhaps you say to yourself, "Do not cast your pearls before swine," but they are already cast. You lucked out though, because we are not swine and we will not rend you. But while we will not rend you, we will say that these pearls that you seem to value so much are not actually pearls. What should, instead, be valued is love, beauty, truth, and power.

While not holding PhDs, I think you will find at least some of us are FAR more knowledgeable about these matters than you might think we are.

When I am done here, I will move on to somewhere else,

Why eat and run? Stay with us a while. You came into our territory. We didn't come into yours. So while you're here, talk to us. We might all learn something together. Christ explicitly sought out and preached to the sinners. Those who have need of a physician. And it is true that one can learn some wisdom even from the most intelligence-deprived people.

You can keep your bleeding heart, I'm not interested. That may be your way of handling this situation, but it is not mine. I am way past that.

That is not very Christian of you, Michael. Not very Christian at all.

I cannot stay very long anywhere. There are too many places that I have to go. If you are offended by my coming to your territory, then you know what to do. I will not be too disappointed. I have been thrown out of better places than this. It seems to me though, that someone here, sometime, may need what I have to say. When, I do not know.
 
If you are offended by my coming to your territory

Oh, I am not offended. Don't worry. We practice the spirit of free speech here in full. As long as you stay within our very light rules, no official reprimand will ever come to you. What I am saying to you though is, I think you'll find your stay here to be much more productive if you actually listen to us. And right now, many of us are telling you...

someone here, sometime, may need what I have to say. When, I do not know.

No one in the world will ever need what you have to say about the Book of Revelation. Both critical thinking and scripture bear this out. Perhaps you expect to be tossed out at the mere expression of these Christian ideas, but that is not what we do here. Here, we debate, we discuss, and we learn from each other, no matter the idea. Now, the question becomes if you yourself will be offended by our words and our ideas given to you.

Perhaps you have been told by a spiritual messenger of some kind that you must preach these words? If so, I will not scoff at you, but I will say to be very wary as there are spiritual parasites everywhere, and this kind of preaching is very indicative of them.

I think you will find this statement to be a lie. Soon, I may require an apology.
