Mark of the Beast- Beast is being used as a symbol, and the context is not really talking about an actual animal. The beast represents a governmental system, the personality of a system, and that systems philosophy of life. The context is showing us that from the systems point of view, people have no value other than for its purpose, and its purpose is simply to maintain and to extend its existence and power through the use of terror, fear—things that any wild animal would naturally exercise. In the beasts eyes, we are fodder or chattel.
