There are many messengers and images in Revelation that are described as beasts. And in most cases they are considered terrible looking animals visualized as dragons or other beasts with pointy tales and mouths spewing fire and brimstone. This is not the case. Most of these beasts are only metaphors that describe messengers or a visualization of an otherwise undescribable image. There are two types of beasts described in Revelation. One type is only a metaphor that describes a thought, an idea, or a messenger. There are four of these 'beasts' that introduce the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. These four horses are the White Horse, the Red Horse, the Black Horse, and the Pale Horse. These horses are the symbols for most of the horrible prophesies that are to be fulfilled at these terrible times. There are also three other beasts introduced and described in Revelation. They are: the beast, the first beast, and the second beast. These are real entities. The beast could be considered the Mother Beast, representing all that encompasses Islam. This is the beast also described as Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth. Her harlot daughters are the terrorists and Satan's other deceivers on the earth following in her shadow. The first beast, also known as the Antichrist in other parts of the Bible, lived and died approximately 1400 years ago. The second beast, also known as the false prophet, lives among us today. He 'has two horns like a lamb but he spake as a dragon.' In other words; he claims to be a Christian but he speaks only praises of Islam. And, he uses 'miracles' to deceive those who 'dwell on the earth.' Most of these beasts are only descriptive metaphors. These last two have real names and real bodies. They are all identified and described in this book.
