SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be showing that the rest of the beast is speaking Babylon. Rest is often identified with Christ. But in judgment it is antichrist. At the revelation of Christ, there were two possible outcome of the beast: 1) have its dominion taken away 2) have its life prolonged (redemption of the body).
