Can we know for sure who this beast is and is it really all that important? Yes, we can, and must know who this beast is. 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, 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: Revelation 14:9-10 The Bible clearly says that those who worship the beast will be lost. In the light of this most serious and solemn warning from God we must not listen to anyone who tells us that we cant understand who the beast is or that it really doesnt matter. (See 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Corinthians 11:14-15) By letting the Bible interpret itself, comparing scripture with scripture, we can know exactly who the beast is. (James 1:5, Isaiah 28:10-13) If you havent done so already we suggest you review the points describing the little horn found in Daniel 7 and then let the Bible identify the first beast of Revelation 13.
