The mark of the beast already happened.
And it was never a literal mark. It's a Hebrew idiom of ownership.....do you work for God or the world.
This is just an example of bad eschatology, it's a more modern way of thinking.
In a literal sense, George W Bush was the anti-Christ.
Bible: Revelation 13:18,
: "This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."
In every numerology calculator his number come out to '666'.
His name is 6
His Birthdate is 6
His date of innaugration is 6

...so if Americans ever chose anyone who was destined to be a disaster as President, it was him.
Steve Bannon, Trump's Right Hand Man, may not have been so inaccurate when he said that Bush was the most destructive President ever:
Wanna hear something that'll blow your mind josephine? My name calculates to 666.
Didnt Ronald Reagan’s too?
I seem to recall hearing that as a kid
I think Reagan was a 4.
His luck was exceptionally good i office.
All the good things happened to him apparently.
Ronnie and Nancy were also avid believers in astrology, Bigly.
Even Nostradamus warned about the coming of Bush.
Many astrologers also hinted the Bush was a bad Omen.
And of course the rest was history.
And folks like Lokmeer enabled and supported Bush.
While Regan and Clinton brought good luck, Bush brought America bad luck.
But does that really make sense when you look at the context and age of the scriptures.....that we would Nero, Caligula, Stalin, Mao, Hitler....et....but it was Bush scripture warned about?
If you look at end times scripture and look for ways to apply them all to our lifetime....you are gonna find that. Everyone does this in every generation.
Jesus talked of end times, and those end days began with His ascension. So every day since the ascension of Jesus is an end day.
Depending on how old we think the earth is, it took thousands of years for the first prophecy of Christ(the protoevangelum in Genisis 3) until He was born.
So between His ascension and the day of His return .....its gonna be thousands of years. A lot of stuff has happened, a lot of horrible and evil things.
Christ said it will be as it was in the days of Noah. And I definately think we are there. I think the ancient world before the flood was far more advanced than is traditionally thought....in ways we dont even understand.
BUT at least watch Jeff Durbin explain what the mark is in that "Bill Gates mark of the beast" video. It's not a literal mark. And it would make NO sense with other scriptures. There is only ONE unforgivable sin, so the newer idea that a literal mark will be put on people and they have no hope of redemption or are out of Gods reach contradicts a ton of scriptures and the entire gospel. It would make Jesus a liar. And Jesus is not a liar, in fact scripture says He IS the truth.
It's so important to know what these things mean and meant to the ancient hebrews and early church. They had ways of speaking and expressions that are very different from ours.
Imagine someone way in the future hearing something like "dont throw the baby out with the bath water" and how confusing that could be. It's their language and culture you need to read it through.
