The Beast

I find your edits problematic and have reverted them.

1. You changed the number of beasts from 3 to 4 without providing any reliable third-party sources.
2. You created two sections with the very same title "Beast from the Earth" making different claims based on different chapters of Revelation, with the new section totally without any citations at all.

Please note that when you make changes or additions to an article, you must provide an analytical source that supports the changes. What you may not do is use the Book of Revelation for a source for which you provide your own interpretations or ideas. You may summarize interpretations published in reliable 3rd party sources. Unless you provide such sources, your additions and changes will be reverted. See our verifiability policy. Also see WP:PSTS for the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. In general, sources should be secondary, not primary or tertiary. Skyerise (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

In my defense, the only sources you'll get that there are, in reality, only three beasts in the Book of Revelation are interpretations. Most interpretations conflate the identity of the beast mentioned in chapter 11 with either the first beast of chapter 13 or the scarlet beast in chapter 17. I myself do conflate them, but ultimately, whether this beast is either one of the other two beasts is a matter of interpretation. A Bible literalist could interpret the chapter 11 beast as being distinct from the first one from chapter 13 merely because they view the book as having a linear sequence and therefore interpret them as distinct because "oh, this beast appears before this one so it must be distinct." I might not have cited a source. Fair. But it doesn't have to take a source to allow for the possibility of one not conflating the identities of this beast with other beasts, and thus, it is best to leave it as a matter of personal interpretation.
