"guesswork huh" Yes. ALL FUTURE PREDICTING through any variation of futurist doctrine (that was invented by Roman Catholic Jesuit Francisco Ribera to fool the reformers, with John Nelson Darby putting his 19th century spin on it) brings the prophet and prophecy into repute. That foolishness drives away the unsaved.
"The folly of interpreters has been to foretell times and things by this prophecy [Revelation], as if God designed to make them prophets. (cont)

By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men's curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own providence, not the interpreters', be then manifested thereby to the world.

For the event of things predicted many ages before will then be a convincing argument that the world is governed by Providence." - Sir Isaac Newton
Arnold Murray, Hagee, Van Impe and all who peddle a form of Darby's "future" tribulation, drive people away from Jesus. Like the FALSE PROPHET Arnold Murray who prophesied in 1980 a temple built in 1981. Yet even though his followers know he is a false prophet, they stay in bondage, because he said those that deny his heresy are not elect.

""the shining one." pretty big difference then the serpent wouldnt you think?"
Not since:
2Cr 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Satan and his angels dupe people like the Mormon's Joseph Smith, and Arnold Murray of your cult. Do you notice you guys all have Murray videos uploaded? Like a bunch of automatons. But far worse, through serpent seed doctrine, you join company with Nazis, skinheads & the KKK. Yet that doesn't seem to bother you a bit.

"Original language scholars. I will take their doctorates and years of training over your hypocrisy every time."
Their "scholarship" is like yours. They get indoctrinated into futurism or preterism and then indoctrinate others into the same false Jesuit created end-time doctrines. Like your guesswork nonsense regarding the term "beast". But Murray and the Nazis and skinheads mess with CORE doctrine, and Murray's followers have shown us right here how it fills them with hatred for Israeli Jews.

Why not take a break from your heretic for just a few hours, and try a little non-controversial reading (free book) on how Satan (you described as "the shining one") manifests himself to the poor folks that are afflicted with multiple personality disorder? The name of the book is "Shining Man With Hurt Hands" and the only difference between the way Jesus shows Himself to these folks, and the way a shining demon appears, is the holes in Jesus' hands.
