Now..I dont know, but there have been some who have linked that to the beast.
Some have claimed that the mark of the beast (666) is currency or money. Since gold was a currency then, and todays control of the population will be through currency, then that links it to the mark of the beast....I.E. digital currency.
The question is, which individual controls it?
The key is that he is defined perfectly...Lion, Leopard and Bear. So IMO, From Babylon, Greece, or Persian area. Gains his power in the old Assyrian area which would include all that area from Egypt to Persia.
JMO.
One of my Old Testament professors leaned towards the Assyrian angle.
My guess is he arises from Europe 🌍 possibly old Roman empire areas which may not be much different. (Briefly part?)
Time will tell.
