[This third-party index is not copyrighted
and may be freely distributed.]
Starred entries are definitions or explanations.
Because the Books of Daniel and Revelation refer to
the same "beasts" by different designations (Daniel's
fourth beast is the equivalent of both the first and
second beasts in Revelation), this index refers to the
beasts in Revelation with a capital "B" for
clarification, and the beasts in Daniel in lower-case.
