The mark of the beast is 666, it’s a tattooing a literal 666 on your forehead and wrists to buy things. This will happen in Armegeddon.
people start tattooing 666 on their foreheads
TextThe book of Revelation (except for chapters 2-3) is perhaps the most clear
cut example of apocalyptic writing in the Bible. We are not to take the
description of “the Beast out of the earth” literally. Neither are we to
take the number literally. In Hebrew literature, the number seven
represents perfection, while the number six is the number of man, or the
number of wordliness. It is the number of mankind in rebellion to God.
The passage in Revelation 13:18 confirms this interpretation; “for it is
man’s number.” When God states that the number of the beast is 666, he is
saying that this represents a great power which is aligned against God and
the spiritual forces in heaven. Let me share my opinion about who this
“Beast” is. I believe that in the context of Revelation, the Beast is
Rome and its power over humanity. It almost certainly is not an individual
person some time in the indefinite future, as many popular Christian
teachers claim. Rome was the great enemy of the saints. Rome tried to
destroy the church. I believe that all the descriptions in Revelation 13
apply very well to Rome, its power, and its opposition to the Lord’s
church. John was told that his vision concerned events which would soon
take place (Revelation 1:1). This causes me to assume that most of the
prophecies and visions in the book applied to the situation of the church
in the first centuries under the persecution of Rome. Those who look for
some sort of beast with a literal number 666, or for people to have that
number branded on them are most likely chasing a fantasy.

Well, According to my thread here the 2000th anniversary of the death of Jesus Christ should be the start of the 1000 year reign of the saints of Revelation.
So according to Time and Date it's 4125 days to the end of the Apocalypse. Or 11.3 years.
But if the nation of Israel is the fig tree of the fig tree parables then the "generation" of the prophecy will be 74 years along in May of 2022.
So yes, Mark of the Beast it is!!!
