Beastly Authority

I notice I have been making more than my share of typos. Hope you guys don't mind. I wouldn't be able to post as often if I had my wife proofread everything first.

Rob (Teknobabl) was right on with his remarks about the beast. The beast is called the beast because he represents the mindless following of authority that most of humanity is subject to.

I will elaborate more later. You have all contributed food for thought. There is a great collective intelligence here.

In the meantime, we need to solve the mystery of the seven heads. I think it was also Rob who commented they could represent different periods of history. This is the right direction. What kind of division of history would a head represent?

We are also told that the seven heads represent seven hills or mountains. What does a hill or mountain represent?

Hint: The mountain of the Lord is often mentioned in the Scriptures.
