The beast worships itself?
gudazdead:
Didn't ray mention that the in the verse about the number of the beast, that the number was that of man and not a man. And at the end of the paper he states to anyone reading it that "the beast is you".
My question is, how can everyone have authority over everyone? Because the beast has authority over every, what was it, nation, tounge, tribe, and people, or multitude. Do you mean to tell me that I have authority over these things and that the entire world is worshipping me? And if all of these people are worshipping the beast then what,? the beast worships itself?
its a good paper though and I enjoyed reading it.
Your thoughts.

The beast worships itself by the people worshipping individually. The BEAST has the authority, not the PEOPLE. See?

Hi gudazdead,
The 'beast' is the carnal man.
Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
We are all beasts, until God puts His Spirit in us.
Here are some of the things that make man a beast.
Mar 7:20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.
v.21-22 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
v. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
We, the beast in us, worships everything in this physical world by putting it before God in our lives.

Dear Russ: Let me ask you: "Since our nation is made up of millions of individual citizens, how can the citizens BE the nation?" Pretty silly, huh?
This "beast" of Revelation is made up of millions of "citizen beasts." There are MANY. God is called OUT A FEW OF THEM: "Come OUT of her My PEOPLE...." (Rev. 18:4).
