The mark of the Beast is something that's been opined about for centuries. It's been said it's 666 tattooed on one's forehead, credit cards, bar codes, a chip placed under the skin, etc. So now it's a vaccine? Seriously? The Book of Revelation also says God marks His own with His special mark "in their foreheads." On one hand, these marks must be very obvious to everyone that they represent allegiance to either God or the Beast. On the other hand, marking everyone on earth would be kind of hard to believe because it appears those loyal to God have the option of not accepting it, which a tyrant wouldn't allow. He/she/it would force it on everyone. Like much of Revelation, these marks may well be figurative of something else.
For those of you who believe 666 is a reference to Nero, I recently completed a study of that possibility. While 666 in the Hebrew language does spell out Nero's name, Nero didn't have a deadly wound from a sword from which he miraculously recovered & neither was there a huge political revolt just prior to him becoming Caesar. Nero died by sword when troops came to arrest him, having been declared an enemy of the empire, & did not survive. So Nero doesn't fit the requirements of the Beast as presented in the Bible.
History is rife with speculation as to who the Beast is. Nero does fit some, but not all, the characteristics. The Pope is historically one of the most popular choices, Hitler came real close. There are many Democrats that I think could well be him including Pelosi & Biden. The Apostle Paul told the First Century Church not to be worried that the Day of the Lord had come because it won't come until there's a large insurrection & the Beast is revealed to the world.
