Neither Nero nor the Roman Empire; neither a being nor a nation - none of these is the beast 666 of Revelation, as this text finds through its immersive analysis of John's vision. The beast is, rather, the spirit of greed that has become a global influence, currently operating right under our noses. It inflicts environmental harm on Mother Nature as it afflicts our humanity with its smoldering global culture.

As a spiritual force, the beast cannot be defeated by any physical means, let alone military. Its defeat may only come through the very antidote of selfish greed - the selfless perfection in love. Perfection in love nevertheless requires one essential element that the beast has taken away from humanity. Find out what this element is in this Book 2 of John's Universalistic Vision.
