I have no idea what Beast.gov means. If you get a chance, explain it for me.

“Beast.gov” is a sort of Web 2.0 referent to the biblical concept of “the fourth beast” of Daniel 7; understood to be representative of that vile and terrible kingdom yet to rise in the earth that will be ruled by Antichrist — “The Beast” of St. John’s Revelation (cf. Rev. 13).

MUCH has been written, and the Biblical specifics are too often clouded by a profusion of extrabiblical supposition, speculation, and philosophizing.

A few things are clear amid the fray:
— this coming kingdom will be a corporate manifestation of deepest evil.
— the influence of this kingdom will be global with no attached necessity that its borders encompass the whole Earth.
— in the depths of such darkness, the church will stand apart as a polar opposite to the vileness of the beast kingdom, and stand with blazing purity and unstinting commitment to Jesus, even in its very teeth.
— there will be more martyrs; perhaps millions. IOW, you think ISIS is vile; you ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet.
— every living soul WILL choose a kingdom, and in that time there will be ONLY TWO to choose from. YOU will side with the beast, or with Jesus Christ.

And there’s more, but even at this I risk seeding argument between the pre-trib, the post-trib, the Preterists, and the amillennialists, and a host of other assorted -ists lining the halls of eschatology.

I do hope, however, that what I have presented is at least enlightening enough to give you a grid put “Beast.gov” into an understandable context.
