The Bible is a book of types and anti-types, of shadow and substance. The church often looks at that which is literal while neglecting to discern the spiritual truth to which it points. This it has done in relation to the Beast, the mark of the Beast, and the number of his name. End time teachers have focused on the literal fulfillment, seeking to discover the identity of the Beast, and the technology he will employ to control all buying and selling. They have neglected to understand and teach the far more important spiritual truths to which these types and shadows point. Correcting this tragic oversight is the aim of this book.
