Our Comments

In The Beast of Revelation, author Kenneth Gentry does a thorough job of looking at the historical context in which the book of Revelation was written.  Using this background as well as internal evidence to show that Revelation was written prior to 70 A.D., Gentry proves that the best candidate for the beast of revelation was the emperor Nero.

Who is this mysterious person behind the number that has frightened, perplexed, and evaded prophecy students for nearly two millennia?  Dr. Ken Gentry leads the reader through a rich historical  tour and  employs gripping theological analysis as he solves the case.  His skills as a Scriptural sleuth are demonstrated as he follows the trail that leads to "the man."  He also reveals "the clue" that closes the door on this 23,000 year-old-mystery.  The sure Scriptural and historical foundation laid in this break-thru book is remarkable.

The reader will quickly learn that the Bible does interpret itself.  Gentry employs this indispensable method throughout the book and exhibits its rational and illuminating effects page after page.

How about you? Are you weary of the modern-day hype over identifying the Beast?  Does your skepticism soar as each new Antichrist candidate fails to measure up to the Biblical evidence?  If so, then Providence has brought you to the road of decision.  The time has come to dispel the murk, build the case, and finally reveal: The Beast of Revelation.  Are you ready to meet him?
