The Beast Exposed\n\nThe Bible book of Daniel sheds much light on the meaning of symbolic beasts. Chapter 7 contains a vivid tableau of "four huge beasts"—a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a fearsome beast with big teeth of iron. (Daniel 7:2-7) Daniel tells us that these beasts represent "kings," or political kingdoms, that rule in succession over vast empires.—Daniel 7:17, 23.\n\nRegarding the beast of Revelation 13:1, 2, The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible points out that it "combines in itself the joint characteristics of the four beasts of Daniel's vision . . . Accordingly, this first beast [of Revelation] represents the combined forces of all political rule opposed to God in the world." This observation is affirmed by Revelation 13:7, which says of the beast: "Authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."*\n\nWhy does the Bible use beasts as symbols of human rulership? For at least two reasons. First, because of the beastly record of bloodshed that governments have accrued over the centuries. "War is one of the constants of history," wrote historians Will and Ariel Durant, "and has not diminished with civilization or democracy." How true that "man has dominated man to his injury"! (Ecclesiastes 8:9) The second reason is that "the dragon [Satan] gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority." (Revelation 12:9; 13:2) Accordingly, human rulership is a product of the Devil, thus reflecting his beastly, dragonlike disposition.—John 8:44; Ephesians 6:12.\n\nThis does not mean, however, that every human ruler is a direct tool of Satan. Indeed, in one sense, human governments serve as "God's minister," giving structure to human society, without which chaos would rule. And some leaders have protected fundamental human rights, including the right to engage in true worship—something that Satan does not want. (Romans 13:3, 4; Ezr 7:11-27; Acts 13:7) Still, because of the Devil's influence, no human or human institution has ever been able to bring lasting peace and security to the people.# —John 12:31.\n\nThey represent the world powers that started from Babylon up to today. It was a means for his servants to recognize when the end of times were approaching.   During the last world power  (The united nations) his return would be here.

You can take or leave this answer as you see fit, but it is well researched and worthy of consideration.\n\nThe creature with four faces represents a year.  The faces represent the four seasons.  2000 years ago, the constellation we call scorpio was actually known as the eagle.\n\nThe four faces represent:\nlion = leo; summer \nox = taurus; spring\nman = capricorn; winter\neagle (today known as the scorpion) = scorpio; fall\n\nJesus' ministry lasted a year.  The 4 faced creature is Jesus.

No. The only reference to this "animal" is in the comedy sketch (I think that's what this is) on the site below.\n\nThe reference is pretty far down. Search for web-footed and you should find it.

it has already happend read these verses then click on the links\n\n1: And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. \n\n2: And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. \n\n3: One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. \n\n4: Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?" \n\n5: And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months; \n\n6: it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. \n\n7: Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation, \n\n8: and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain. \n\n9: If any one has an ear, let him hear: \n\n10: If any one is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. \n\n11: Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. \n\n12: It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. \n\n13: It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men;  ( a bomb) \n\n14: and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived; \n\n15: and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. \n\n16: Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, \n\n17: so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. \n\n18: This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. \n\n\n \n\nThe Holocaust \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_outside_Europe_under_Nazi_occupation\n\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry/WW2

Griffin, is the correct answer.  Here's what Wikipedia.org says: "he Griffin in (Persian شیردال‌ shir-dal meaning lion eagle) (also spelled gryphon and, less commonly, gryphen, griffon, griffen, or gryphin) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Often, griffins are depicted with a pair of prominent ears, traditionally termed "ass' ears". Since the lion was considered the "King of the Beasts" and the eagle the "King of the Air", the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Some traditions say that only female griffins have wings. The griffin is generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and equine ears jutting from its skull. Some writers describe the tail as a serpent. See the entry European dragon for a 19th century painting of St George and the dragon, showing a dragon very like a classically-conceived griffin.\nClassical and heraldic griffins are male and female."

Here are the seven holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well. This order is shown below from the lowest to the highest.\n\n+ Holy Virtues +\nChastity (purity) \nModeration (self-restraint) \nGenerosity (vigilance) \nZeal (enthusiasm) \nMeekness (composure) \nCharity (giving) \nHumility (humbleness) \n\n+ Deadly Sins +\nLust (inappropriate desire) \nGluttony (over-indulgence)  \nGreed (avarice) \nSloth (laziness)  \nWrath (anger)  \nEnvy (jealousy)  \nPride (vanity)  \n\nThe history of this list goes back at least to Pope St. Gregory the Great and St. John Cassian, but while the list itself is not strictly biblical, the Bible proscribes all seven. \n\nWith love in Christ.

Read Dante's Divine Comedy, particularly the first book, Inferno, and the last, Paradisio.  Some of them, who did God's will, were admitted to heaven after Christ's death; others, who were not particularly evil or sinful, wound up in the highest (least punishing) level of hell, sometimes called limbo.
