This is Future Watch's theory on the "Who and What of the Beast of Revelation". Using secular history as a guide we have tried to reconcile some of the information that the Bible presents on the events leading up to the end of this age.
With hindsight and when we are shown, or where we see for ourselves, to be wrong in our facts and premises, the theory will be modified.
It would be nice if our theory comes close to the reality, but that is not necessarily our aim. We hope to provide a framework whereby readers may "discern the sign of the times" (Matthew 16:2-3) for themselves and take the appropriate action they deem necessary. Prophecy is a powerful medium for turning people to God.
