If you go with the literal, I'll sharpen a sword when that thing crawls up. If you go with the figurative, it still doesn't mean you should commit violence — it's saying you'll be tricked into violence by the beast.

But in any event, the beast is given power over man for four years and part of that power is that men will fight for him. I'm not remembering Matthew 15 off the top of my head, I'll google and get back to you.

Ok, googled the verses. You might want to read the whole of it.

Jesus wasn't advocating stoning spoiled kids, he was criticizing the Pharisees for manipulating the law to work around God's law.
