Is the beast in Revelation the Antichrist ?
Is the Antichrist a person ?
Answer:
The Beast in Rev. 13 that comes out of the sea with the seven head and the ten horns is Antichrist--it is a civil system and not a singer person or being.
To correctly understand Revelation, you have to correctly understand Daniel and Ezekiel.
Daniel shows us that beasts represent civil powers. Compare Daniel 2 and 7. He also tells us that the last powers is an indescribable beast that wants to wear out the saints for 1260 days (years). Revelation 13 and other chapters tells us that the beast described there in the past wore out the saints for 1260 days---sound familiar? So that beast is one and the same. Everyone can connect the last beast in Daniel to Rome (first Pagan Rome than Papal Rome), but somehow when they get to Revelation it is something totally different--but it is not.
Women depict the Church---the Bride, the Wise Virgins, ---the true Church--the 144K, the Elect.
The Whore that rides (is affiliated with the Roman beast) is none other than the Catholic Church.--the false Church.
All of our Protestant Reformers have clearly understood this fact and rightly so, and Protested. But today--practically no one knows what a Protestant is, and those that do, do not claim to be Protestants and don't Protest.
Zechariah 5, Matt 24:15, Rev. 13 are describing the return of power of the beast (the Roman Beast--which is not Italy, but the Papacy), and its persecuting power---yet all non-Catholics have swallowed the Catholic Dogma of the personal Antichrist or that it is the US or Muslims and are looking in the wrong direction so that the Catholic Church will usurp that power again and put them to death if they don't comply.
No one is even watching what they are doing--no one knows what the Ordinariate is, how that the Vatican now has embassies in more than 180 countries, that they have put together an economic plan for the entire world --spelling out those who do not behave for the "common good" will be harshly dealt with--made an example--check their history to find out what that means.
