marks of the beast
Devil's identifying signs
Marks of the beast are signs or symbols associated with allegiance to evil or the Antichrist, from the Book of Revelation's prophecy that followers of the beast would bear a mark on their hand or forehead.
The phrase extends to anything seen as sinister identification or submission to corrupt authority: Some called the mandatory ID chips marks of the beast.
Conspiracy theories frequently invoke the term for government tracking systems, barcodes, or vaccination records.
