mark of the beast
Antichrist's identifying symbol
The mark of the beast is a symbol of allegiance to evil described in the biblical Book of Revelation, where those who accept it on their hand or forehead can participate in commerce but face divine judgment.
In contemporary use, it refers to any system perceived as requiring submission to sinister authority: Some called the vaccine passport the mark of the beast.
The phrase often appears in conspiracy theories about government surveillance, digital currency, or identification technology.
