Apart from this we are also shown where the beast comes from; This is a key that should unlock the mystery of the beast in both cases. "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."(17:8) The beast is mentioned in another passage, as the one who kills the two witnesses sent from heaven. "The beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them."
Who is in control? "nd the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit./And he opened the bottomless pit."(9:1-2) God allows the world that has refused grace to be shown the difference between the beast whose spirit of pride is just the opposite the Son. Jesus Christ the same yesterday and forever. (He.13:8)
Instead ideologies that the beast wear is the name of blasphemy. It may carry the label of Papal infallibility or trickle down economy or any other. Truth couched with reason to suit the spirit of times is nothing short of blasphemy.
