The “beast” is described in a variety of ways in the Bible. It can refer to the past and future military power, to the end-time leader, and to the past and future religious power and its representative. How is the coming end-time leader described and what are his character traits? What are the little horns in Daniel 7 and 8, the mark and image of the beast, his mortal wound and his number; and what are the 10 horns? Is their meaning always the same?
