The Mark of the Beast that John saw, in the oldest text, looks like the Arabic script for “In Allah’s name” combined with the motif of the crossed swords.
Islam is the religion of the Beast. The only question is how the ungodly in the West will abandon championing poofters to follow Mohammad or will the new Islamic leader, the Antichrist, abrogate earlier teachings on homosexuality?
The Beast was around during Jesus’ time. Islam was not. JFTR.
