The listing of Revelation 13:
Many Christians claim that the beast mentioned in the book of Revelation, chapter 13 in the Bible, is Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, the Prophet of Islam. In this article we will see that this is a terrible misunderstanding. We will also see that the so-called "beast" only represents the Christian Western societies who are full of sins from fornication and adultery, to alcoholism and drugs.
Let's look at Revelation 13 from the NIV (New International Version) Bible:
Revelation 13
1. And the dragon [1] stood on the shore of the sea.
The Beast out of the Sea
2. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
3. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.
4. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"
5. The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.
6. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
7. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
8. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. [2]
9. He who has an ear, let him hear.
10. If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed [3] with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
The Beast out of the Earth
11. Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
12. He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
13. And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.
14. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
16. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,
17. so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

The book of Revelation is not a valid book according to the NIV Bible:
The following quotes and commentary were taken from the NIV Bible. All of the commentary and Historical proofs that clearly show and prove that most of the books/gospels' authors of today's Bibles are not known are all documented in the Just who were the real authors of the Bible?! article.
The Book of Revelation:
"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:8).....In the third century, however, an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that the book could not been written by the apostle of John. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1922)"
Again, we don't know who wrote the Book of Revelation. It is certainly highly doubtful that it was written by Apostle John. The Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible seem to agree with the invalidity of this book from the above quote. So are you now going to consider the other John's words as the Words and Inspirations of GOD Almighty?
Notice that in the sections of "Gospel of John" and "Gospels of 1, 2 & 3 John" above, the author did not identify himself and it was ASSUMED without actual proofs that it was Saint John who wrote them. Notice how they said that if he were to identify himself, then it would be hard for them to explain it.
Now, notice the author in the Book of Revelation does identify himself as John, but he has a complete different language and style of writing from the other books, which created much uncertainty about its validity in the Church.
My questions here are: Who wrote the Books? And is or is not Saint John supposed to identify himself in his books? And where are his books that have his name on them?
Again, keep in mind that the NT was not even documented on paper until 150 to 300 years
after Jesus (depending on what Christian you talk to). So the dating is way too long
for us to be assuming books to belong to certain people. Let alone considering their
nonsense (contents) as the True Living Words of GOD Almighty.
Please visit: Jesus the "Alpha and Omega". Not only this quote doesn't prove Jesus as GOD, but it was also written in a book that is unreliable in later bibles. In the original Bibles, the quote doesn't even exist!!
Arche of the
Creation of God as Alpha and Omega. The "Alpha
and Omega" doesn't even exist in the original Bibles! It's a
lie that was later inserted by trinitarians. See the historical proofs in the
article. If their site is down, then you can read the article at this link ON MY SITE.
The Book of Revelation is a very important, probably the most important Book in the Bible today, because it has prophecies in it of what Christians believe is for our future today, even though it has nothing to do with our current world. It talks about Jesus soon (1800 to 2000 years ago) will return (Revelation 22:7). I don't know how soon is 2000 years to the Bible. All the people that this book was told to had died.
It also talks about the great battle of Gog and Magog fighting the righteous; "and will go out to deceive the nations in the four
corners of the earth [The earth DOES NOT
have four corners and no the earth is not a square or rectangle. It is round almost
like an egg!!]--Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In
number they are like the sand on the seashore. (From
the NIV Bible, Revelation 20:8)"
The thing that we need to notice here beside the grave error about the shape of the earth
in this false book (sorry to say that), is that the Gog and Magog existed before.
Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Ezekiel 39:1), is the name of the leader and
Magog is the name of his nation (Ezekiel 38 and 39). The Gog and Magog army had
already been defeated and the Noble Quran confirms their story.
There had been historical discoveries that perfectly match the Noble Quran's
claims regarding the Gog and Magog, such as the discovery of the "Iron Gates",
and other literature that mentions the Gog and Magog army and location. There is even historical documentation about them which matches the Noble Quran
in London, England.
Please visit The story of Gog and Magog and the Iron Gates in the Noble Quran and the Bible to see the references and proofs of these historical discoveries and several more.
The Bible says: The earth is flat! See all the verses in the Bible that claim the earth is flat.
It is a common Christian answer to say "We support Israel because it is God's promised land to the Jews, and He will prevail them against the army of Gog and Magog who seems to be mainly an Islamic army today." They mostly rely on the Book of Revelation from the Bible to support this claim.
The story of the Gog and Magog army attacking the Jews exists in both the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The Book of Ezekiel which came literally thousands of years before the Book of Revelation predicted the attack and defeat of the army of Gog and Magog.
The Noble Quran (The Muslims' Holy Scripture) talks about the army of Gog and Magog in details and explains the events that ALREADY took place. As I mentioned above, there had been historical discoveries that perfectly match the Noble Quran's claims regarding the Gog and Magog, such as the discovery of the "Iron Gates", and other literature that mentions the Gog and Magog army and location.
Please visit The army of Gog and Magog and the Iron Gates in the Noble Quran and the Bible.
The lie (sorry to say that) of the Book of Revelation, however, also predicts the coming of the army of Gog and Magog. But as I said, the army of Gog and Magog were ALREADY predicted in the Bible thousands of years before the Book of Revelation.
So, the prediction in the Book of Revelation proves that the writer of the book, lacked a great deal of knowledge about history, because as I said, the event of the Gog and Magog battle (i.e., the battle of Armageddon) already happened!
The point is that the Book of Revelation, however, like most of the Bible today seems to be nothing but a big hoax (sorry to say that). It is very doubtful, but yet ironically, very important to the Christians of today.
Would you honestly deep inside yourself call nonsense of this kind the True Living Words of GOD Almighty, especially after knowing that very important early Christian resources thought "the book could not been written by the apostle of John"?

Analysis that clearly prove that the "beast" is indeed most Christians today!
Let us analyze with points Revelation 13 above:
1- In Revelation 13:2, we first of all see that the beast has 7 heads and 10 horns. So basically, he is not a natural power. He is a super natural power - a power that is beyond any normal human's strength. Let's look at what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said about this beast:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: "The Prophet said to Ibn Saiyad, "I have kept for you a secret." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said, "Keep quiet, for you cannot go beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed what has been foreordained for you)." On that, 'Umar said (to the Prophet ), "Allow me to chop off his neck!" The Prophet said, "Leave him, for if he is he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal), then you will not be able to overcome him, and if he is not, then you gain no good by killing him." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Divine Will (Al-Qadar), Volume 8, Book 77, Number 615)"
So the beast, which is called the "Dajjal" or "Anti-Christ" in Islam is stronger than any man. Let us further look at what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said about the Anti-Christ and his power:
Narrated Hudhaifa: "The Prophet said about Ad-Dajjal that he would have water and fire with him: (what would seem to be) fire, would be cold water and (what would seem to be) water, would be fire. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Afflictions and the End of the World, Volume 9, Book 88, Number 244)"
Important Note: The water and fire that this beast will have are life's sinful temptations, and the resistance of evil. Satan's evil looks like Paradise to his evil followers. If you look at the Western societies today, which are mostly Christians (just for the record), you would see that they are very big on sexual sinning (boy friends and girl friends living together without marriage, pornography via TV, emails and internet, sexually arousing cloths: from mini skirts to bikinis, etc...). It's a funny coincident that the famous RAP singer "LL Cool J" here in the US just recently released a new song I believe is called "Paradise is really nice". In it he talks about how sex is Heaven to him, and "true love is rare, but don't worry I am going no where" as he said to his lover, etc...
His satanic song is a fine example of how the Western Christian
societies are living today. Their evil doing is their paradise, the beast's
"water" as Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, and those who try to keep
themselves pure and preserve their chastity, which are very few, are considered "LOW LIFE LOSERS".
Narrated Anas bin Malik: "The Prophet said, "There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mecca and Medina, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earth-quakes will take place) and Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues of Madinah, Volume 3, Book 30, Number 105)"
Important Note: The cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia are Islam's Holiest Cities. They are truly sinless cities today! Even the Vatican in Italy where the Pope resides is not holy, because they worship the idols of Jesus and Mary (their goddess) there.
So the "beast" is the evil, the wickedness caused by satan and his followers, the sinning against GOD Almighty that will rule all over the world, except in the two Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina. To further prove this, let's examine point number 2:
2- In Revelation 13:4 it says: "Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" People in the mostly-Christian Western societies are by the overwhelming majority slaves and worshipers of: (1) Sex; and (2) Money. The sex and money sinning in the West is the worshiping of the beast. And yes, no one can make a war against that kind of beast in the West, because it is OVERWHELMINGLY PREVAILING!!
Important Note: The beast can not be the Muslims of today, because contrary to Revelation 13:4 (no one can wage a ware against the beast), Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him prophesied about the Muslims being so weak and divided that the nations of the world will eat them as the predators eat their prey:
Narrated Thauban: "The Prophet peace be upon him said: 'The nations shall gather and team up against you (i.e., Muslims) as the predators gather and team up against their preys. A questioner asked: 'Is it because of us being low in numbers at that day?' The Prophet replied: 'No, you that day shall be in great numbers, but you will be as powerless as the foam of the water on the surface of the river, and Allah shall remove any fear from your enemies toward you, and He shall put in your hearts a corruption.' A questioner asked: 'O Apostle of Allah, what is the corruption?' The Prophet replied: 'The love of life's amusements and the fear of death.' (Translation of Sunan Abu Dawud, The Book of Fierce Battles - The Gathering of all Nations against Islam, Book 37, Number 4297)"
The Muslim can not be the beast of Revelation 13, because they today are the weakest and most pathetic nations on earth! This is due to their divisions and lack of faith and full of hypocrisy. That is why they are ruled by dictators and infidels, and are taken full advantage of (their oil and wealth gets stolen) by the West.

3- In Revelation 13:7, it says: "He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation." Who else besides satan and the Western Christians' sex and money gods today can fight the pure and the innocent, and conquer them? The entire world according to Islam will turn bad, and will be filled with evil except for the two Holy and sinless Cities: Mecca and Medina.
Conclusion:
According to the evidence that I showed above, it is clear that the book of Revelation is a corrupted book, because it's author is not even known. It is also clear from the Islamic evidence above that the real beast that Islam had warned us about is indeed most Christians today, because most of them are sex and money worshipers (loyals to the heartless and monopolizing capitalist system), and they are indeed satan's followers and lovers, except of course for few of them (with all due respect to all of my Christian readers).
