I was reading the link you provided, but I only got as far as this:
"There are a number of groups on earth now who deny that Jesus is Christ, including Muslims, Hindus, New Agers, Jehovah Witnesses, and Mormons. But most of these groups were not in operation when John was writing his epistles."
Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT DENY that Jesus is the Christ. If you do not believe me just go to this link and check the various articles there about him:
http://www.watchtower.org/e/archives/index.htm#jesus_christ
Since the person providing the information in that link is definitely wrong on that point, the integrity of the remainder of the article is immediately called into question.
Revelation clearly states the beast is the wordly political system as a whole. (Revelation 17:9-11) In fact human governments are frequently in Scripture represented by beasts, such as in Daniel chapters 7 & 8.
In Bible times a slave was identified by having a mark in the hand or forehead, so the mark of the beast shows that one belongs to the human governmental system rather than to God's Kingdom.
6 is a human number. 3 is emphatic. Therefore, 666 is emphatically human, falling far short of the 7 which is used to represent perfection.
Furthermore, a mark in the forehead could signify that we give mental or moral support to the political system, while a mark in the hand could signify actual support for it.

Your article is a little anti-semitic. It brands Jews as the anti-christ. But it could be that the mark of the beast is the way the people act and feel. Certainly, I think the antichrist would be somebody we would all love and admire. Their charismatic appeal and gifted abilites. We would all worship him and then when we find out, it will be too late. Your article is interesting but it needs to lay off the Jews but it shows good points.

we dont know what it is. the number of the beast is 666. the mark can be anything. lately i have seen the swastika sign showing up more often. and the 666 we dont know for sure what that means. some say greeks used numbers to name people. right now they are trying to pass a national id card to all us citizens and without it you cant have a job or bank or nothing. and cant get food. so maybe he will be the 6 hundreth and 66 person to get it. or maybe he will be that number to get the implant in the hand. we dont know what the mark is but we do know what to look for. and right now they are trying to implant people and make it mandatory so i would watch for it soon.

The courageous New international album is one in all my renowned extra moderen albums. My fav songs of that album are The Wicker guy, Dream of Mirrors, Ghost of The Navigator and of direction, Blood Brothers. MQ2: i think of their absolute first album exchange into their suited, Iron Maiden. MQ3: To be trouble-free, i admire D'iannos voice extra beneficial than Dickinsons. don't get me incorrect, I delight in Duckinson too, yet i think of D'iannos voice had extra aggressiveness, which i admire in a metallic band.

If real, it is a form of an identity system that institutions of man, government and/or religion will use to separate those that are loyal to their authoirity over those that are dissidents.......

could be anything.
most people believe it is the number 666 as that is the number associated with satan. however today it could range from some form of a chip placed in us or some kind of number associated with us. my guess is no better then yours ^^
