OK, maybe this is a stretch, but here goes. has anyone considered that the name "danielbeast" may be a reference to the beasts referenced in the Book of Daniel in the Bible? Daniel 7 recounts a vision Daniel had of four beasts, which represented four kingdoms of the world, through the end times, ending in the reign of the antichrist.

Like I said, perhaps a stretch. But with all this about Crowley, who claimed to be the antichrist, the great beast, and the vision in Daniel 7 at the end being about the antichrist, it could at least be an allusion to Crowley, or perhaps more.

I realize that the name comes from Bree "hunting" him, and so forth. But perhaps there's more subtle meaning there. (Daniel in the Bible revealed the antichrist; Daniel will reveal to Bree about Crowley?)

Food for thought.

I had actually started a search in the book of Daniel, yesterday. I would love is others or someone else who paid more attention in catechism would, also...if they think it could lead anywhere, that is, haha.

Well, Crowley was very well read, as far as the bible is concerned. He surely did borrow a lot from it. So why not have Lonelygirl World borrow from it, too?

Next, the whole "The Beast" thing came from Crowley's own mother (a staunch EB Christian). So he took it up in sort of an ironic way. Then in sort of a "shock the world" kind of way. Then People started labelling him that because Christians often fear and denegrade anything different.

On a side note... He was quite a racist. He did personally advise Hitler. He did abuse a lot of drugs.

B ut as far as I know "The Beast" had very little to do with satan, sacrifices of any kind and definitely nothing apocalyptic.

It wasn't of my opinion that The Beast was anything more than a reference to Crowley...but other things, like Daniel's prophecies made me wonder if that's how our Daniel got his name, especially since 'revelation' and exodus were brought up, recently.

Crowley was definitely a racist. He was definitely a self-centered sexual manipulator. He is said to have personally advised Hitler. Even speaking as a Jewish woman, I view that claim with a great deal of skepticism; it is the sort of overblown hothouse claim he liked to make about himself to shock people.

could the fact that we never hear Daniel referred to as anything short for daniel be an indication that the name could actually be pertinent? i don't know about you guys, but most of the daniels i know are dans or dannys by the time they're like 2. or at least are called by those names sometimes.

so... you really might not be looking for meaning in vain! i guess the purpose of this post is just moral support for all you hard-core researchers Very Happy

that biblical thing is a good direction, i think. i like it Smile

Exactly, I keep bring up the Hebrew meaning of his name, too.

Danny makes me think of the spooky kid in the first Shining, btw.

REDRUM! Shocked

You're all reading too much into it. You're looking for things that just aren't there.

Daniel is a common male name. "Beast" is used for many things, not just Crowley or the bible.

I think no matter what his name and screen name were, those of you of the tin-foil hat variety would find some way to make it Satanic or accult.

For example, if his name was "John" and his screen name was "JohnSnake", you'd probably be like "Oh, well John wrote the Revalations of the Bible where they predict the beast, which is like Danielbeast, and also snake is a clear reference to Satan who was an actual Serpant from the Bible, CLEARLY this is all accult references."

See what I mean? You're looking for things that just aren't there. Stop playing GAMES. Our Creator wouldn't want us to do such things, Our Creators would rather we walk in light - Look for the Light.

Anyway, don't overthink yourselves. - JerseyJohnnyC
