a question about the Beast within

(1/2) > >>

stanstillwhite:
I have read Ray's Lake of Fire series 2 complet times, but one part "the Beast within' I keep reading over and over.  I really like the way Ray has explained it as fare as 2 Thes 2 takes it.  But when he adds the wounded head taken from Rev then I find the absence of the second beast noticeably missing.  I was wondering if Ray has written any more on this subject.  Kat has a stash of Rays stuff not on the website and I was hoping there might be a continuation of this subject.

Thanks!!

Nope, everything I post of Ray's is directly from BT website. I dig everything up in searches, mainly uses Goggle advanced search.

kat, thanks for posting that older thread.  it was very enlightening to re-read the discussion, and to see the Spirit of Christ alive in the words spoken.  we are exhorted, within the Scriptures, to dig and study the depths and correlation of them, for spiritual understanding and application of them in our lives.

thanks to you john for starting the thread.

Yes, thank you kat, I found that right after I posted.  Seems this question has been asked before. 
If anyone believes that it is important to identify the beast then they must realize it is just as important to identify the faults prophet. Here is why:

Rev 13:12  And he(faults prophet) exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13  And he(faults prophet) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he (faults prophet) had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them (faults prophet is saying) that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15  And he (faults prophet) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16  And he(faults prophet or image of the beast?) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

If the beast is allegory then it needs to be explained who this faults prophet is.  Because its the faults prophet that's going to make the rules about buying and selling. Theres a lot to allegorize here.  And we haven't even toughed on the two witnesses.  I can see why most have gone a little more literal with this.

G. Driggs:
Actually Ray goes into quite a bit of detail on the "two witnesses", the "false prophet", "buying and selling" and "the beast" in many of his papers. Might be a good idea to check em out if you get the time. :)

Peace,
