Ezra Celestin: Many Christian denominations believe the prophecy points to the papacy as the beast. However, in scripture, the papal system has never been a beast, is not a beast, and will never be a beast. To call that system the beast is to really stretch the Word of God. |

Revelation reveals that 'Babylon The Great' or the great scarlet Harlot' as it is known, (Because of it's love of purple robes and fancy trappings' will be brought to ruin. 'The Great Prostitute' Babylon The great' is called. She went out and mislead the world with her false teachings. Looking at the child abuse scandals, the way they look down on the poor and their support for each side in war, is it any wonder the churches are empty. My only hope that God is not slow at putting it into the hearts of men to turn the Cathedrals into museums. - | ||

Ezra Celestin: Millions of Christians have already accepted the mark of the beast, unbeknownst to them. They do not have a clear vision as to whom or what the beast is. Christians view the mark of the beast as something futuristic. The receiving of the mark of the beast commands the wrath and indignation of God, and the consequences are severe. |
