If The Beast was revealed how would the likes of you and me know?
Would The Beast be seen on CNN? Would people be able to tweet about The Beast, would Facebook allow any mention of the truth?
Let me repeat that would the media tell us the truth?
Would "our" government tell us the truth?
Would Fact Check or Snopes verify it?
Would any attempt at a Wikipedia page stand for more than moments?
Would The Beast appear on Oprah?
OK, that last is a bad example, but, I think you get the idea.
The Beast could have been revealed in allah his glory to our "betters", but not to the little peons.
That comes at a later unveiling (an Apocalypse, from Greek apokalyptein "uncover, disclose, reveal,")
My vote for most likely to be the Beast is either an AI, or the reason all this recent flutter about UFO’s is waiting to be shown.
Again, according to Scripture, the beast will do things that will let believers know that he is, in fact, the beast.
