Reading all of Rev 13 - it's difficult to determine where we can say the beast is the antichrist.

He's first mentioned as the mouth of the beast.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion....

We're never told when he transitions to a man.

This verse is about the closest thing to making this transition:

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74255747


The use of the word 'him' is very important as the mouth.

In Daniel 11 - we see 'him' and 'he' refer to the antichrist in the latter days.

Perhaps we can extrapolate this usuage in Daniel 11 to Rev 13.

If we can do that - from here on in we can assume the beast is the antichrist.

Daniel 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74372414


In order to know who the 'him' is - we must refer to other verses in Daniel & Matthew 24:

Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

----

Daniel 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?


11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

----

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

I believe if we take verses in Daniel, Matthew 24, Rev 13 & 19, we can conclude the mark of the beast is the number of a man aka the antichrist and not the beast of Verse 1, Rev 13 (NWO).

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67900736


However, from other verses - we might conclude the mark of the beast is not a number at all;

But that it's actually the Beast's name - Rev 15:2 victory over the beast's mark...and

Rev 15:2 victory over the number of his name.

And the number is the number of his name i.e. something like a person's SSN or tax id.

Rev 14:11 - men will be tormented who receive the mark of his name

---


Revelation 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name

Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
