Didn't you learn that the book of Revalations was written in code by the early
Christians as a way to communicate? The early Christians were perecuted,
remember? And they had to find ways to communicate in secret. Archeological
findings, (like the one that de-bunked the shroud of turin) explain that
Revelations is nothing more than a satire of the Roman government at that time.
The Beast is the Emporer o Rome. It is not to be taken literally.
