The mark of the Beast is a brand of disobedience to God. Not only must this involve rejection of God’s sign of obedience, the Sabbath, but also the acceptance of a counterfeit sign or mark. This mark is, in reality, a brand deriving from Babylon and Rome. Is there such a symbol that has come all the way down to modern times?
Sun Worship—Satan’s Ancient Counterfeit
In ancient Babylon, the kings served as high priests of the sun, Bel-Marduk. “To take the hand of Bel-Marduk” was part of the ceremony of installation as king in Assyria and Babylon (“Babylonian and Assyrian Religion,” Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th ed.). The celebration of the winter solstice around December 25 was regarded as the birthday of the sun. It was a major holiday associated with gift-giving and the sacred evergreen tree.

Try researching the origins of the book of Revelations, it's fairly clear that John was writing about Rome.

The mark of the beast is '666'. You get the mark when Jesus comes again, and you worship the devil and choose to recieve the mark to buy or sell.

You can incorporate the mark of the beast to almost anything you want. And in the end, you will realize that you are not just making any sense.
