Interesting stuff. I can’t quite agree with some of his conclusions; I think he misinterprets some of the data, but it’s certainly a huge step in the right direction with respect to overly literal interpretation of these matters. I can mostly agree with his interpretation as to the identity and fate of the beast (system), but he goes a bit too far with the fate of the “risen wicked”, though as an annihilationist, it was expected.
