I have been listening to a series of lectures by D.A. Carson on the book of Revelation. His contention is that references to “the beast” is not just a specific personage, but also a series of movements and personages throughout history culminating in the final “beast” at the end of time.
Thus, a suggestion to defile the Cross of Christ is just another sign of the “beast” peering out. How fitting that it should speak from the Huffington Post!
Sounds about right to me. It seems like everything is going to pot at a fast pace.
