Thanks Garveys Africa.
Thats what I thought when I read what you said.That you dont actually believe that the beast is a real prophecy someone thousands of years ago made by looking into the future/today.But that you are applying this as an evil beast=evil white supremacy european oppresion.I agree.
But its like reading about an oppresor or evil in a novel and saying:That right there is just like the european oppresors or white supremacy.Its not more than that.
The thing is that when someone sais this about something in a sci fi novel its clear that it cant be meant literally.Not so with the bible,its taken literally by so many people on earth and the prophecies are seen as real precise prophecies about europe,usa,arabs,diferent politicians etc the list goes on and on.So thats where I see the danger arises through potential misunderstanding wich leads to seeing it literally by those of us who trust the bible too much.
