The Bible is Revelation of the Almighty to us, and it only takes thoughtful study, meditation, and consideration, Aknation.
In Revelation 13 we are given the number of the beast.
It reads that it is, "666".
Today we are in the computer age, and study brings out that the beast, much along the lines you've described, is
the bulk of humanity, united, who are present upon the earth who have rejected "religion", and God Almighty, and His prophesied incarnation, the Savior.
The Lord had stated and asked two things.
He had stated to Thomas, after His resurrection, "blessed are those who don't see and believe".
He had also asked elsewhere, "When the son of man returns will he find faith upon the earth?"
Presumably, these remaining after the
event occurs are those left behind after the catching away, or "Rapture" occurs upon the earth.
An
event which has precedent in the old testament, and is well described by St. Paul.
St. Paul uniquely describes the event, having to do with his own NDE, described in Acts 14:19, which he relates to us in 2 Corinthians 12.
It might be presumed also that this event occurs at the outset of a global calamity, and that the institution of the "mark" of the beast is a result of this calamity, and the logical effort of remaining mankind to prevent another similar calamity, and the prevention of terrorist acts, and other crimes.
Which may be lauded also, as the means of peace upon the planet, and received and accepted as such by the willing remaining upon the earth.
We've already been moving, in a global manner, towards digitalization of humanity. We see the beginnings of it in certain military situations, and involving certain private organizations as a means of employees receiving their pay in the form of credits.
The origins of the mark originate in the, "social security number", and in the beginnings of credit cards, decades ago.
You know, it's been said that the devil imitates in the world all that God does.
This "mark" described, will be "invisible", as an instrument under the skin.
Described as either in the forehead, or the hand, in scripture.
Without which, "no one can buy or sell".
So, it can be discerned then, who or what the beast is.
How close do you think we may be, today, to this global event described by St. Paul in scripture?
Also, regarding what is predicted, or prophesied, consider Jesus' words about,
"the world to come" in the Bible.
