The life size doll of Ronald Wilson Reagan that you see 
reading above, is just one of the many representations of
the "Image of the Beast" that we have in the world today.
According to Revelation, there is to be an image of the beast
made, that the whole world will worship. The image will be such
that it will be able to talk. If we assume that the prophesy is
being fulfilled, as I do, then it makes sense that the image,
being talked about, is actually the pictures of Ronald Reagan,
that we see, both on television and on the movie screen.
     Just where does this Biblical prescription come from. It is to be found in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation in verses fourteen and fifteen. There it states: "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15) And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beats to be killed." Many writers, when writing about the image of the beast, say that it is the False Prophet who is to build a statue of the beast and somehow cause the statue to start talking. I have also heard some people talk about a new generation of computer, which will have the capacity for speech, being referred to, as a possible candidate for the role of antichrist.
     As the prophesy has played itself out, we can see where it would make sense for the television images and movie images of Ronald Reagan, to fulfill this very important part of the scripture. First off, why would John the writer of Revelation refer to the Image as an image rather than a statue, if that was really what he meant. Certainly they had statues back in the days of Christ.
     Not only would this theory make sense if Ronald Wilson Reagan had only been President of the United States as all Presidents are heavily recorded on television cameras, but in his case being, as he was a movie actor before going into politics, it makes double sense. Ronald Reagan was born in 1911, well before the advent of the talking picture. When this phenomenon became popular, he was right there to take advantage of it.
     Whatever the case, the theory about the image of the beast being
those talking pictures of Reagan that we find on television and
the movies certainly fits in with the prophesy of Revelation.
Reagan however was so popular that we have even more evidence
that it was his image that John was referring to. Back in the
early 1980's a stand up figure of Reagan became popular. You saw
them at all of the various vacation spots around the country. It
was a photograph of Reagan standing up. It was Life-size. As such
you could have your picture taken with your arm around him. When
the picture was developed you cold hardly tell that it was not an
actual photo of yourself with Ronald Reagan or not. The idea was
so popular that other stars of the media soon had their pictures
that you could take pictures with. There was Michael Jackson, and
Madonna and a whole host of others, that you could take your
