'A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” '
Revelation 14:9-11
In Bible prophecy, a beast represents a government, kingdom, or political
power. God uses beasts to symbolize nations, just as we do today—an eagle (United States of America), a bear (Russia), etc. In the Bible, “beast” is not necessarily a disrespectful term. It does not suggest beastly characteristics. The beast that has the mark is pictured in Revelation 13:1–10, 15–18.
For all you Bitcoiners out there....Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 17 should stand out to you.
