The text argues biblical symbols align with Israel, Edom, Mohammedan powers, and a 1,260 year persecution, urging cautious interpretation and warning against denominational bias.

W I Varner argues in a Georgia paper that Revelation’s second beast represents the United States or Muhammad Ali order. He links Babylonian rule to Constantinople, cites Uriah Smith and Haynes, and calculates 666 via gematria and alternate spellings. He predicts antichristic events around 1927 with East‑West conflict and Jerusalem’s fate.
