For years, the "Mark of the Beast" has been relegated to the realm of fringe theory—a bogeyman for the superstitious, a metaphor for moral decay, or a plot point in low-budget cinema. But as I cross-referenced the functional requirements of a global, cashless economy with the specific constraints outlined in Revelation 13, the skepticism I had carefully cultivated began to erode.
