Also get rid of the walls of text. Don't copy/paste to us, talk to us.

Just for the record, I didn't mean you personally when I said you. I was using you as a general pronoun which meant anybody. Meaning, whomever it pertained to, in whatever conversation, in whatever forum. Probably a bad choice of words.

The Beast is many things to many people depending on what church you were raised in.

It's the Pope
It's the Prostants
It's a one world government
It's worshipping on Sunday
It's following after worldly things
It's (insert latest book or Don Juan Carlos or Prince Charles)
It's UFO's
Etc.

The Revelation was arguably the most mind-boggling chapter of the Bible comics.

According to the arc, JC has a 'double-edged sword' tongue (lolwut?) and eyes burning with fire, his entire persona shining brighter than the sun.
He defeats this Beast with his awesome superpowers. He then calls forth his angel slaves and horsemen to wash away the darkness and evil in Earth.

After all this mumbo jumbo were finished, everyone auto-dies and gets teleported to heaven where the souls of peoples are judged whether they enter or fall to the depths of hell.

This arc is quite confusing.
I suggest believers not to take anything in this chapter in a literal sense.

What is also confusing is that even the souls that are already in Hell are called up to the White Throne Judgment and redjuged. Why? For what purpose? They will be resent back into Hell.

"11 ¶ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"

I guess the Abrahamic god likes to troll.

Before it happens, I would like to wish all Christians a Happy Easter.

Happy Easter, even if it will never happen.
