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?
