So far, Rev. 13:1 is about a physical structure and hierarchy/monarchy. If I never meet a Pope, Eminence, etc., how am I to use this information? What good does it do me to know what I now know? I mean no disrespect to your intelligence, and perhaps it emphasizes my ignorance.

ANSWER: This is about much more than recognizing the beast in the rich and famous. The reason this chapter is important is because ALL of us are to some degree under the dominion of the Beast. Before we can be delivered from the power of the Beast we must understand what it is.

Only by being delivered from the power of the beast can any group of people unite heaven and earth to the extent that the spiritual powers of the kingdom of God become available to the human kingdom. This is impossible if we do not even understand what is holding us back.
