whew. Well IMHO all the anti-Christ / mark of the beast theories are low effort noise in this community. In case few have noticed... the sensationalizing dispensationalist teachers/grifters have been pinning tails on anti Christ donkeys and mark of the Beast tech since the early 1970s... and the end of the world in just a few years, over and over and over. Well, in fact it started in earnest with the Anabaptist radicals in the 1500s well before dispensationalism was even invented... either way it's been wrong every time. Not much better than Jehovah's Witness and SDA prophecies that have crashed and burned. Not to mention the similar decontextualized literalist torturing of first century apocalyptic literature texts to justify theories about current events and personalities, gets laborious to see popping up over and over.

Best to just be aware that one of the main disclosures of the apocalypse of John is that the faithful community of Jesus' followers can expect certain historical patterns where individuals or institutions / powers of this age will sometimes over assert themselves and set aside their civil duties to natural law, and take on beastly qualities against their fellow man and especially Christ's Church, but ultimately they come and go. The horns rise up, the horns break off. And time marches on.
