8NO BEAUTY IN THE BEASTwho look at <strong>the</strong>se th<strong>in</strong>gs with an open m<strong>in</strong>d however, <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>no</strong> way to avoid <strong>no</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong>re havebeen people <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> past who have made predictions that have been validated and v<strong>in</strong>dicated withfrighten<strong>in</strong>g accuracy, <strong>no</strong>t <strong>the</strong> least of which have been those which foretold <strong>the</strong> arrival of <strong>the</strong> freedomfighter from Nazareth, Jesus Christ.T<strong>her</strong>efore, what we f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves do<strong>in</strong>g over <strong>the</strong> next few hours is discuss<strong>in</strong>g my understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong>events that took place 2,000 years ago <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> land k<strong>no</strong>wn as Palest<strong>in</strong>e, and <strong>in</strong> particular <strong>the</strong> social, politicaland religious struggle that took place between a peasant carpenter named Christ and <strong>the</strong> gangsters runn<strong>in</strong>g<strong>the</strong> state of Israel who opposed him. We f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves discuss<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> roots of this contention that, as ofthis date I have <strong>no</strong>t yet heard be<strong>in</strong>g discussed, as well as what k<strong>in</strong>d of relevance this contention has had<strong>no</strong>t only on <strong>the</strong> last 2,000 years, but also more importantly on today. We f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves discuss<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>warn<strong>in</strong>gs given <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> prophetic vision that was experienced by a man named John on <strong>the</strong> island ofPatmos, <strong>the</strong> vision of <strong>the</strong> Beast who would appear at <strong>the</strong> end of time for <strong>the</strong> purpose of destroy<strong>in</strong>g all thatChrist <strong>the</strong> freedom fighter had envisioned.In short, this is my attempt at br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to practical, visible terms and images <strong>the</strong> cryptic and oftenmisunderstood and even moreso misapplied picture which humanity is fac<strong>in</strong>g <strong>no</strong>w concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> eventfor which <strong>the</strong> world has been wait<strong>in</strong>g <strong>no</strong>w for 20 centuries. And whe<strong>the</strong>r this <strong>beast</strong> is personified as <strong>the</strong>“man of s<strong>in</strong>,” as he is called by <strong>the</strong> Christians, “Dajjal, ” as he is imag<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> Muslims, or as <strong>the</strong>“Messiah” by <strong>the</strong> Jews, <strong>the</strong> image of <strong>the</strong> <strong>beast</strong> is <strong>the</strong> same. And although all three of <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> faithsemanat<strong>in</strong>g forth from <strong>the</strong> Holy Land see <strong>the</strong> same picture, for two of <strong>the</strong>m he represents an image of evilw<strong>her</strong>eas for one of <strong>the</strong>m he represents <strong>the</strong> long-awaited savior.I have already experienced a certa<strong>in</strong> amount of reticence on <strong>the</strong> part of fellow Christians concern<strong>in</strong>gth<strong>in</strong>gs I have written or said on this topic, <strong>in</strong>dividuals who are obviously made very uncomfortable by<strong>the</strong> manner <strong>in</strong> which I have depicted <strong>the</strong> two ma<strong>in</strong> persons with<strong>in</strong> this issue, Christ and Antichrist. Thisis understandable, s<strong>in</strong>ce man is by nature an animal very much susceptible to <strong>the</strong> laws that govern <strong>in</strong>ertia,and whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> issue concerns mass and matter or whe<strong>the</strong>r it concerns philosophy makes little difference;a body at rest tends to stay at rest. And although I will say that this tendency is understandable, I will <strong>no</strong>tgo so far as to say that it is excusable. What I have seen on <strong>the</strong> part of people such as <strong>the</strong>se are uncritical,knee-jerk reactions to ideas that are <strong>no</strong>t that revolutionary concern<strong>in</strong>g this man, Jesus of Nazareth, whowas <strong>without</strong> question a revolutionary himself. What reactionary <strong>in</strong>dividuals such as <strong>the</strong>se have done,unfortunately, is to lump my argument <strong>in</strong> with <strong>the</strong> many o<strong>the</strong>r arguments that are offered today by thosewho have a vested <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> defam<strong>in</strong>g Christ and his legacy. Aga<strong>in</strong>, I will say that this reactionism isunderstandable, s<strong>in</strong>ce a good portion of those <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christian world have developed this ‘siege mentality’when it comes to what have become <strong>the</strong> ever-<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g attacks on <strong>the</strong>ir faith and <strong>the</strong>refore are justifiablysuspicious about anyth<strong>in</strong>g new be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>troduced.Be<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> receiv<strong>in</strong>g end of <strong>the</strong> criticism though offers me a different vantage po<strong>in</strong>t, and as such Ican<strong>no</strong>t help but consign all of this reactionary bus<strong>in</strong>ess to <strong>the</strong> category of unjustifiable guilt by associationand which possesses absolutely <strong>no</strong> validity. This is even moreso <strong>the</strong> case s<strong>in</strong>ce (and especially so <strong>in</strong> lightof today’s events) I hold this man and his deeds to be <strong>in</strong>surmountable <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir excellence and perfection.Were it <strong>no</strong>t for <strong>the</strong> fact that I view <strong>the</strong> op<strong>in</strong>ions of such uncritical <strong>in</strong>dividuals with pity, I could be ledtowards be<strong>in</strong>g seriously offended by <strong>the</strong>ir accusations, particularly s<strong>in</strong>ce one of <strong>the</strong> th<strong>in</strong>gs I am try<strong>in</strong>g toaccomplish with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> text of my argument is <strong>the</strong> elevation of this man before <strong>the</strong> eyes of <strong>the</strong> rest ofmank<strong>in</strong>d. I will take it one step fur<strong>the</strong>r by say<strong>in</strong>g that it is because of this uncritical foolishness that hasbeen embraced by those <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christian West, a foolishness rooted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> refusal to see Christ <strong>in</strong> thisobvious light that we f<strong>in</strong>d ourselves <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> mess that we have today.
