  Pros

  The only positive I can see is the fact that the writer has attempted to give the reader an understanding of the beast. But, the explanations within the document are way too hypothetical.

  Cons

  This is speculative reasoning at best. The mark of the beast is very simple to explain, especially when we read the Bible for ourselves. The writer of this used red lettering to "quote" scripture. However, the "scriptures" used are their commentary.

  Summary

  . Let me quote a few REAL SCRIPTURES, and the scriptures themselves will explain themselves. And, I will give you a little commentary to point out a few FACTS! &lt;BEGIN SCRIPTURE QUOTE&gt; Revelation 13:1-18 KJV 1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9. If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12. And he 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. 13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15. And he 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. 16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 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. 18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. &lt;END SCRIPTURE QUOTE&gt; Now, we need to focus on two very important verse in that list, which are the last two verses; i.e. - 17-18. I will offer them again, but with commentary, and then an explanation afterward. And that no man (or woman, or child) might buy or sell, save he (or she) that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Please notice in verse 17 that there are THREE MARKS, and NOT just one mark, of the beast! 1. There is THE MARK, which we do NOT yet know. 2. There is THE NAME, which we do NOT yet know. 3. There is THE NUMBER, which we DO know, because it is given in verse 18! This NUMBER of the beast is SPELLED OUT, rather than written numerically, so that there would be NO DOUBT about what that NUMBER would be. That NUMBER is 666. That NUMBER is NOT 999, nor is it 616, nor is it 919, nor is it any other number combination. THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST IS 666! So, we can only KNOW exactly what Jesus tells us in His Scriptures. When we read Christ's Scriptures we can KNOW a lot, because the scriptures are far more LITERAL than they are symbolic or allegorical. There are a lot of scriptures which ALSO give symbolic or allegorical meanings, but as a whole, and as a standard, most scriptures are literal. There are two very powerful men called BEASTS, who will blaspheme GOD, who will overcome the saints, and who will require every single human they can deceive to have to have their MARK, or the antichrist's NAME, or the antichrist's NUMBER placed within and upon their right hand or their foreheads. This is going to happen, make no mistake about it! These BEASTS will have a government, a military, and a religion. We do NOT know who or where they will come from. These two beasts could come from ANYWHERE, from ANY COUNTRY, from ANY PEOPLE OR NATION, and from ANY RELIGION! .<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>I am going to try to post the other scriptures in the book of Revelation which go with Revelation 13:1-18 (which is ALL of Revelation chapter 13).<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 14:9-13 KJV 9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 15:1-4 KJV 1. And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 2. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 16:1-7 KJV 1. And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 16:8-14 KJV 8. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11. And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Please forgive me ... That last update only had Revelation 16:8-11, and NOT through verse 14.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 16:12-16 KJV 12. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 16:17-21 KJV 17. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 19:11-16 KJV (This is about Jesus Christ!) 11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 19:17-20 KJV 17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18. That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 19:21 KJV (CONTINUED) 21.

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 20:4-6 KJV 4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 20:7-10 KJV 7.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>Revelation 20:11-15 KJV 11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 22, 2011<p/>There you go! I hope that you read those verses from the book of Revelation! They pretty much explain themselves. There are other verses which explain the great harlot of Babylon, and this harlot is symbolism, and reality, which explains the kingdom of the two beasts. These verses about the great harlot can be found in Revelation chapters 17 and 18. There is so much more throughout the Holy Bible which explain in even greater detail about the end of days. I believe the great tribulation is nearer than any other time in history. However, I am NOT a date setter. Jesus warns mankind to be wary and watchful for date setters. In fact, Jesus tells us that if any person makes claims by setting certain dates for the end of days, and those dates turn out to NOT come to pass, that these date setters are to be called and treated as FALSE PROPHETS!!! Jesus tells us to rebuke false prophets! So, do NOT worry about May 21, 2011. When May 22 comes, then "Brother" Camping will be a false prophet!

• A lot of good points

  Pros

  This book focuses on our responsibility to live Godly lives. The author does not say that the traditional interpretations are wrong, but that they are not the whole story. I may not agree with every single point made, but the overall message and most of the points are scriptural. I highly recommend this e-book.

  Cons

  If you are not a reader, you might find it a bit long.
