Stupid, repetitive, intentional deceit and falsehood on your part. Like
the satanically manipulated liar JW's are, you simply try to promote
denial and ridicule, without any evidence, of what you don't like in the
Bible.
Daniel and Revelation clearly interpret the “beast” symbol for
us—neither book leaves it to speculation.
Daniel:
Daniel 7:3, 17 – “Four great beasts came up out of the sea, different
from one another. … ‘These four great beasts are four kings who shall
arise out of the earth.’”
The beasts represent kings or kingdoms that rise from among men, not
literal animals.
Daniel 7:23 – “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a
fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms.’”
The fourth beast is a world empire distinct from the earlier three.
So, in Daniel, a “beast” symbolizes a Gentile world power opposed to
God’s rule and people.
Revelation:
Revelation 13:1–2 – “And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten
horns and seven heads, … and to it the dragon gave his power and his
throne and great authority.”
This beast combines the traits of Daniel’s four beasts (leopard, bear,
lion) and thus represents a final world empire energized by Satan (the
dragon, cf. Revelation 12:9).
Revelation 17:7, 9–12 – “I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of
the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. … The seven
heads are seven mountains … and they are also seven kings … And the ten
horns … are ten kings who have not yet received royal power.”
The angel directly interprets the imagery: the heads and horns stand for
rulers and kingdoms within a satanic political-religious system.
Thus both Daniel and Revelation explain the “beast” as a succession and
culmination of human empires empowered by Satan, reaching its final
expression in the Antichrist’s global rule before Christ’s return
(Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:7; 19:19–20).
You don't get to keep making the same stupid efforts to deceive, deny,
and ridicule what the Bible plainly teaches, and retain any bit of
credibility with me. Your stupid lies are based on what you want to
believe, not what the Bible teaches. Your condemnation and eternal
torment will be just.

Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God
raised Him from the dead?
That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.
On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
