A23) Three Aspects to the Beast, (S. Dobbs, 1998).
As I was reading the Book of Revelations in 1998 the Holy Spirit came upon me and showed me the following; that the Beast from the Book of Revelations symbolised three things:
1. The antichrist leader who will gain control of the entire world.
2. The empire that this leader will rule.
3. The spirit designated by satan to oversee this empire, (see Rev Ch 17;8 and Ch 9;1&11. Abbaddon means destruction in Hebrew and Apollyon is Greek for destroyer).
