represent religion. And as we look at the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, we'll notice that all three of them have a religious and political aspect to them. And the dragon, we know that its religious aspect we can call spiritualism. But its political aspect, where the dragon manifests itself in history and in our day, we would call socialism today. Now, if we look at the beast of Catholicism, we know that its religious aspect is Catholicism. Its political aspect, how it's structured politically, is not socialism. It's structured as a monarchy. It's a kingly power. The Pope of Rome is the classic kingly power, if you're looking for one. And a monarchy is different than socialism. And the third power that we'll be looking at in history is the United States. And the United States' religious aspect is Protestantism. Even at the end, when it becomes the false prophet, it's still apostate Protestantism. It doesn't become spiritualism or it doesn't become Catholicism. It becomes apostate Protestantism. So the religious aspect of the United States is Protestantism. And the political aspect of the United States, formed in republicanism, is now what we call democracy. Still, whether republicanism, ideally, or now democracy, its political aspect is different than a monarchy. And it's different than socialism. Now, these two aspects to these three powers are worthy of our note, because sometimes in Bible prophecy, it's the political aspect that's being portrayed, sometimes both, and sometimes simply the religious. In Revelation 16, it's primarily the religious influences that come out of the mouth of these entities and lead the world to Armageddon. But as we go through history, we'll want to be able to differentiate between those two aspects and know that all three of them have different philosophical viewpoints on how politically they would run the kingdom and different religious philosophies on religion. Because this is some of the antagonism that allows them to strive against one another as they mutually lead the world to Armageddon. And we hope that you'll come back into the next study and we will trace this history down to the present day. And then after that, we will take up a more specific study of how these spirits are being used in the world today to lead its adherence to Armageddon. Thank you.
