chapter 13

What do you guys think?

Holograms don't "speak" - not as yet
But I'll admit that the description bears an uncanny resemblance to a phenomenon called - TV
could be many things, could be a swastika, could be the image of the almighty dollar, could be the crescent moon of Islam could even be the image of the crucifiction.
As any biblical historian will tell you: 'The Beast' was a code word for the Roman Emperor
Neither do holograms breathe. Here is a much more "faithful" translation

It doesn't mean that's necessarily what it IS.
Please allow me to expound on this. This will be an artificially created biological entity. Either a, more probably, clone of the deceased original beast or the resurrected beast itself. At any rate, the original beast dies and the false prophet replaces it with the "image." Some more scriptures to back this up:
Revelation 13:15
And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
the beastie dies a short while after assuming power...
Revelation 17:10
and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
the "image of the beast" carries on for & after the original's death...
Revelation 17:11
And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.

Maybe there's a reason it's old? No real reason to make new crap up, just to work yourself into a lather
All that will come of this thread is people picking their personal scapegoat for who the antichrist is
