Peace,
I have a feeling that we have become a little confused about a certain issue. We seem to think that there are more than 2 types of verses in the Quran when the Quran says that there are only two types of verses in the Qur'an law-giving, and allegorical. So when we talk about the beast to come, does that really mean there is a beast coming? Well, we would all say ofcourse not. However, we do not go futher. We should continue to ask ourselves if there is even ANYTHING literally coming at all. This can be applied to many verses that we have become attached to and tend to explain with a semi-literal theory.
