1. In order to know what the mark is, we must first identify the beast. How does the Bible describe the beast? Answer: Revelation 13:1-8, 16-18 provides 11 identifying characteristics. They are listed below: A. Rises from sea (verse 1). B. Composite of the four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 (verse 2). C. Dragon gives it power and authority (verse 2). D. Receives a deadly wound (verse 3). E. Deadly wound healed (verse 3). F. Strong political power (verses 3, 7). G. Strong religious power (verses 3, 8). H. Guilty of blasphemy (verses 1, 5, 6). I. Wars with and overcomes the saints (verse 7). J. Rules for 42 months (verse 5). K. Has mysterious number 666 (verse 18). Do some of these points have a familiar ring? Certainly! The beast of Revelation 13 is simply another name for the Antichrist, which we learned from Daniel 7 is the papacy.
