The allegorical 'beasts' of Armageddon are illustrated, among them various goats, a 7 headed dragon, a lion-bull creature, and more. The chart was published by Joshua Vaughan Himes, who served as Miller's publicist and pamphleteer after 1840. he publicaion of htis chart was significant as it was meant both to fulfill prophecy and for use at 'big tent' evangelical gatherings.
