I wanted to understand the phrase “mark of the beast” better because if sometimes comes up in various situations and I have always felt confused about its meaning and relevance.
You’ve heard the saying that the best lie the devil ever told was convincing the world that he doesn’t exist. The “mark of the beast” is generic enough a term that it comes as no surprise that indigenous peoples would use it. Your point about “why at this time to post on the internet” is interesting. One way to normalize an aberration is to make it commonplace. If the conversation about the “mark” escalates into mainstream, it would be to normalize it and downplay it. Which could be a sign that its implementation is getting closer. Just mho.
