Donna,

John not only wrote about the beast, the name of the beast, the mark of his name, and the number of his name. So, if this "Lord RayEl" is the beast, then there must be a "mark of the name Lord RayEl", and there must also be "the number of the name Lord RayEl". So if that name didn't come with an accompanying mark & number, then perhaps that is not the name of the beast, but only the name of yet another false Christ.

My thinking has been that the identity of the beast, his name, the mark of his name, the number of his name, and his image, are all things that may only be manifest to those who need to know who he is, in other words, those living through the days of the evil ministry of the beast.

Anyway, what do you think about these things that I mentioned, above?

Thank you,

Gino
