Economic developments globally are a 24-hour burning signpost which tell us that we are nearing the events described in chapter 13 of the book of Revelation. Financial Instability. Out of control national debt. Central Bank Digital Currency. Digital ID. Artificial Intelligence. Facial recognition. Palm scanning and biometric data as a means of payment. Social credit scores. Apple Pay.

Never in earth’s history has the means to control all buying and selling been so available to totalitarian abuse.

Revelation 13 declares that the Lamb-Like Beast will coerce and compel the world’s governments to prevent buying or selling if he or she does not have the mark. That means restrictions on commerce, transportation and mobility, speech, internet usage – everything. There will be no exemptions.

What Is The Mark of the Beast?

The “mark of the beast” is the mark of the authority of the leopard-like beast of Revelation 13.

We do not have to guess who the leopard-like beast is. The leopard-like beast in Revelation 13 is the papal power.ⁱ

Similarly, we do not have to guess what the mark of the authority of the papacy is.

The Catholic Record declares that “Sunday is our mark of authority …. The church is above the Bible, and this transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact.”ⁱⁱ

The Catholic Encyclopedia states:

Sunday was the first day of the week according to the Jewish method of reckoning but for Christians it began to take the place of the Jewish Sabbath … as the day set apart for the public and solemn worship of God. …During the first three centuries practice and tradition had consecrated the Sunday to the public worship of God by the hearing of the Mass and the resting from work. With the opening of the fourth century positive legislation, both ecclesiastical and civil, began to make these duties more definite.”ⁱⁱⁱ

Pope Benedict stated that “Sunday is the day of the Lord and of man, a day which everyone must be able to be free — free for the family and free for God”, and that “by defending Sunday, one defends human freedom.”^iv

Economic developments worldwide serve as a constant and urgent reminder that we are approaching the events outlined in Chapter 13 of the book of Revelation. We witness financial instability, spiraling national debt, the rise of Central Bank Digital Currency, the implementation of digital identification, advancements in artificial intelligence, and the use of facial recognition, palm scanning, and biometric data for transactions. The emergence of social credit scores and platforms like Apple Pay indicates a growing capability for totalitarian control over all aspects of buying and selling.

Revelation 13 warns that the Lamb-Like Beast will pressure world governments to restrict commerce and personal freedoms for those who do not bear the mark. This implies limitations on trade, transportation, mobility, free speech, and internet access—effectively touching all facets of life. There will be no exceptions.

**What Is The Mark of the Beast?**

The “mark of the beast” signifies the authority associated with the leopard-like beast of Revelation 13. Determine who this leopard-like beast is without ambiguity; it represents papal power. Likewise, the mark of this papal authority is unmistakable.

The Catholic Record asserts, “Sunday is our mark of authority... The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.”

The Catholic Encyclopedia explains:

“Sunday was the first day of the week according to the Jewish reckoning, but for Christians, it gradually replaced the Jewish Sabbath as the designated day for public and solemn worship of God. During the first three centuries, practice and tradition consecrated Sunday for the public worship of God, marked by attending Mass and refraining from work. As the fourth century began, ecclesiastical and civil legislation started to clearly define these obligations.”

Pope Benedict remarked that “Sunday is the day of the Lord and of man, a day when everyone should be free—free for family and free for God,” emphasizing that “by defending Sunday, one defends human freedom.”
