So..."being told"...is equal to being told by the bible? She is not an "organized" church member christian. She came to understanding who God was through the help of the Holy Spirit and the bible like I did.
As far as the beast goes, that is best left to ponder with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and bible as well. There are many tentacles of the beast and it can be very confusing to those of us that don't realize that we are rubbing elbows with them everyday.
That being said, christians are more interested in spreading the gospel than dislodging the anti-christ. He has always been part of the picture and his demise will come from Jesus, not us.
