Come on, man. It's literal in the sense that it will really happen, and it represents that the AntiChrist is real, and he will awe and inspire worship because he will die and come back to life.

This is Revelation 101. Symbolism with real, literal meaning. The AntiChrist is the "beast", and the "mark of the beast" will also be literal.

Oh, okay...my bad.

I don't think MrsMountains actually thinks that the beast and the dragon will actually be a beast and a dragon. I think she may have been exibiting a bit of sarcasm, which I am totally a stranger to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, MrsMountains. If you think the AntiChrist will be a hideous beast then that's okay too.

Well St. Ronnie Raygun was supposed to have fulfilled this "prophesy" - St George Bush is the current antichrist and I am sure the spinners will have a antichrist 3.0 by 2009 in the form of Rahm Emmanuel or Barrack Obama or both.

Well if it is a beast then it MUST come out of the sea as you folk take the lake of fire as literal too. Symbolically it can mean many things which is what Revelation is a book of symbols and specifically written to seven churches that no longer exist.

How is shortly come to pass mean ±2000 years and specifically what would that have meant to the seven churches were it a prophesy of 2008 something?
