Mark of the Beast, from Revelation

Paper Summary:

In order to understand the mark of the beast, one must first be able to understand who the beast could be today and who it may have been when Revelation was written as well. Looking back at history, the book of Revelation was written at a time when the Christians were being persecuted by the Roman emperor, Nero for their faith. Several centuries later, the Church underwent changes as people were welcomed while accepting only the truths that suited them. This pretended Christianity corrupted the Church which makes one wonder whether perhaps this time period is the "worshiping of the beast".

From the Paper:

"So, could Nero, who could be credited to starting the religious persecutions, be the beast of whom John was talking about in Revelation, or is it the paganism that entered the early Christian church be the beast? What if the beast was something of today's time?"
