So in the first place let's find out what a 'BEAST' in the bible stands for. According to biblical explanation a beast denotes a Great King or a Monarch as could be read from DAN. 7:17 in the following sentence:
"These great beasts, which are four, are four KINGS[1], which shall arise out of the earth." This is the main reason why the Lord demands that one becomes a prudent or wise person in order to understand what the scripture entails, hence verse 18 says: "Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:.........." (REV. 13: 18). It appears that the 18th verse explains itself that the beast in question refers to A HUMAN BEING (King), hence the statement, "for it is the number of a MAN" . You see, the Lord did not hide anything from His children who want to know the truth toward their salvation.
Now that the last verse has made it clear that The Beast of the Book of Revelation chapter 13 concerning whom the Lord issued His solemn warning is a King, there is the need to study its passages step by step in order to avail ourselves with whatever truth the Bible itself will reveal to us and also other facts whatsoever history books, magazines, news letters or news papers will unfold to us to assist us trace WHEN, HOW AND WHERE EXACTLY this kingdom will be.
