Question 161: What is meant by the beast and his mark?

Answer:

The Seer of Revelation appears to have had his visions in the form of a series of scenes, as in a panorama. Almost at the close (Revelation 14:9) he saw the beast you refer to. It is evidently identical with the beast described by Daniel (7:7). It is representative of the power which is said to have throughout the world's history opposed YHVH. It appears in John's narrative in a series of forms and is sometimes identified with a persecuting church and sometimes is the civil power. At the culmination of its career, John saw it as the great Anti-Christ, who is yet to arise, who would attain to such power in the world that he would exclude any many from office and from even engaging in trade, who did not acknowledge him. Only those who bear the mark of the beast can buy or sell in that time. This mark may be a badge to be worn on forehead or hand or as some scholars think, merely the coins to be used in business, which will bear Anti-Christ's title symbolized by the number 666.

A key question for Christians today is where they stand regarding Israel. There is much confusion, compounded by a general lack of knowledge among Christians of all streams about the place of Israel and the Jewish people in God’s plans. That’s why my friend David Wilber asked me to write Christian Zionism 101: Ten Reasons Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People.

Proverbs 29:12 ESV

You get more of what you reward. If liars have the ear of the person in charge, then he will attract more liars into his service. People of good character don't want to be part of a corrupt organization and will go elsewhere.
