“World political authority that regulates and manages economy is no Antichrist, unless you imagine His Holiness called to worship that putative reformed UN.”
“He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. “
This requires some form of “World political authority” to be in place.
Some forms of world political authority are already in place. A call to reform those is not a call to worship Antichrist.
Beside, I would not consider the moneychangers like Soros, or economic traitors that sold our industrial base to China as someone engaged in legitimate buying or selling.
