About This Book

The author interprets apocalyptic scripture to argue that the United States corresponds to the two-horned beast described in Revelation 13:11–17, and examines how national emergence and character meet prophetic criteria. He surveys historical growth, political structures, and social developments, linking these features to questions of location and chronology within prophetic symbolism. The treatment analyzes the alleged powers and actions of the prophetic figure, including miraculous signs, coercive influence on worship, the formation of an image to the beast, and the concept of a distinguishing mark, and outlines possible end-time implications. Material is organized into focused chapters presenting probabilities, a chain of prophecy, and practical considerations for readers facing imminent events.
