Re: Who is this beast?
Hi Dennis thanks for your reply qand welcome to the forum.
I myself see most of revelation as symbolic and in the first century as you say Daniel was told to seal up scroll because the time was in the future but John was told to not seal up the scroll because the time was near
I see the beast as a demon influencing Rome and its leaders mostly Nero
You are right there are so many interpretations of revelation but I use the bible to interpret revelation and to help keep me grounded below is a rule that I use
The whole of scripture is greater than the sum of its individual passages. You can not comprehend the bible as a whole without comprehending its individual passages and you cannot comprehend its individual passages without comprehending the bible as a whole. The individual passages can never be interpreted in a way as to conflict the whole of scripture
Thanks for the tip on the book I will look it up
