>WHO/WHAT IS:
>The Lamb with 2 horns?
The False Prophet of Mystery Babylon, aka the pope. Speaks as a lamb, but with the authority from the dragon.
>The 144,000?
12,000 young men of 12 tribes of Israel tasked to spread the gospel during the tribulation. Thought to be virgins. Protected through the tribulation; my opinion = breeding stock for the Kingdom on earth.
>The Dragon?
Satan, the devil, the fallen angel, Lucifer = same being.
>Beast #1?
One Beast is the Antichrist.
>Beast #2?
Another Beast is the Antichrist's kingdom, the 10 toed Empire revealed by Daniel of mixed iron (Rome) and crushed pottery; two things that do not mix well. Well thought to be the EU.
>The Mark?
A personal identifier on a person's right hand (or forehead if he doesn't have a right hand) that will contain all of the person's papers, financial status, etc. A one way ticket to hell. Many people have already had micro-implants in their hands to bypass security doors, etc. It's not a stretch to see a cashless society go to a credit system.
