I would be delighted.First, I regard the beast of Chapter 13 as the antichrist or "that Wicked" mentioned elsewhere in Scripture. That the beast represents the person and not the political or governmental order of his kingdom (as some have interpreted it) is, I think, evident in that the beast is given power from the dragon, Satan, as is that Wicked in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9.The interpretation of one of his heads being "wounded to death" has been taken to mean that the Roman Empire received a "deadly wound" that will be "healed" when it is resurrected into the political scene. There is another view that states that the antichrist will himself die and be brought back to life. I support the latter view, when I have taken into account other passages in Revelation:And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. ~Revelation 11:7The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. ~Revelation 17:8Now, it seems clear to me that, even though 17:8 is four chapters after Chapter 13, that the beast's deadly wound is directly related to him "ascending out of the bottomless pit," since both are described as invoking "wonder" in people. It appears that the order of thinking is: the beast existed ("the beast that was..."), was killed by the "deadly wound" ("...and is not..."), and ascended out of the abyss ("...and yet is," or better, "yet will be"). In other words, he will be resurrected.By whom? The dragon Satan himself--which isn't that hard to believe, when one considers that he is given the key to the bottomless pit elsewhere in Revelation (9:1, 9:11). God will give him the power to resurrect the beast, Satan will take credit for that power, and the beast will receive worship for being the target of that power.That, to me, appears to be the logical interpretation of the passage.~Bet
