A a number of years ago we did a program called "The United States of the Beast" in which we showed that if you use the presuppositions that many Christians use to interpret Revelation you clearly find that the Beast of Revelation is the United States. Well, we weren't seriously proposing that this is true, but apparently there are people out there who believe it's true. They believe that United States IS the Beast of Revelation. Incredible.

In this third episode in a series about the End Times, we get specific about the Anti Christ, and Pastor Gary Held has a very interesting (and chilling) theory about who or what the Beast of Revelation 13 really is.  This is a must hear episode.
