The beast is a nation, in the book of daniel chapter 7:17 it says these great beasts, which are four, are four kings,
which shall arise out of the earth..and in verse 23 it says the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which
shall be diverse from all kingdoms,and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces.
In these modern days, society call kingdoms nations now. the beast that daniel talks about is the same one in revelation
13. and that beast is a church and a nation. this beast is connected to the city of rome, the reason why is because
rome is built on seven hills, and it is within the city of rome where the vatican abides, It is documented fact
that the roman catholic vatican is a church and a nation at the same time. In revelation 13:1 it says the beast will
rise from the sea, the sea = peoples, nations and tongues (revelation 17:15, and he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest,
where the whore sitteth, are peoples,and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.)
It is documented fact= roman catholicism arose out of western europe with a multitude of peoples, nations, and tongues''
as parishoners. and presently the roman catholic church sports the highest number of peoples the world over. FACT= over
100 nations have state representatives at the vatican. only the city of rome which has the vatican abiding in it,
is both political and religious, and is built on seven hills which is the seven heads of the beast.
In ancient history, it was 4 world empires ruling from the time of daniel down to the time of the fall of rome.. #1 babylon=lion:605-538bc
#2 medo-persia=bear:538-331bc.#3 greece=leopard:331-168bc. and then the fourth beast is rome. rome-168-476ad.
In daniel 7:24 and the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that shall arise, and another shall rise after them, and
he shall be diverse from the first and he shall subdue 3 kings. the roman catholic church fulfilled daniel 7:24. FACT=
when pagan rome fell in 476ad it resulted in the formation of 10 separate kingdoms, 3 of these kingdoms rejected the idea
of a universal catholic faith that was both religious as well as political so as to better control the people of the fallen
nation of rome. #heruli nation was annihilated in 493ad, #2 vandals in 534ad, #3 ostrogoths in 538ad were the final of 3 kings.
with the fall of the ostrogoths in the year 538ad the political entity we today refer to as the roman catholic institution,
began its official reign as the 4th beast mentioned in the prophecy of daniel. FACT= 10 horns that came to be after
rome fell were, #1 alamannis=germany #2 visigoths=spain #3 franks=france #4 sueves=portugal #5 burgundians=switzerland #6
anglo saxons=england #7 lombards=italy #8 ostrogoths #9 vandal #10 herulis.
