5 Things You Won't Believe Aren't In the Bible
http://www.cracked.com/article_18757_5-things-you-...
#2. The Antichrist: The beast is who is associated with the number 666, by the way. It wasn't until the second century that some dude named Saint Irenaeus started calling it the Antichrist, borrowing the term from another part of the Bible that wasn't referring to it. But even that did very little to change the fact that The Beast would have a hell of a time getting elected to public office since it looked like ... well, a motherfuc*ing beast.
It wasn't until the Middle Ages that the Antichrist was portrayed as a guy rather than a huge multiheaded monster. Thus the Antichrist, as a figure in pop culture and cheap-shot accusation was born. Countless novels (like the worldwide bestselling Left Behind series) and movies have helped push the concept to where it is today.
So to summarize, millions are awaiting what they believe is the fulfillment of an ancient biblical prophecy that is in reality cobbled together from at least three different characters from the Bible, with a little bit of Rosemary's Baby for good measure.

Revelation 13:16-17
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
EDIT TO CUPCAKE: I may agree with you on that one. I am still sorting it out.

Mark of the beast is Sunday worship. the beast himself (the Pope) said that Sunday is their mark of authority over God. they changed the Sabbath from a Saturday to a Sunday. (it states in the catechism), the mark of the beast isn't a literal mark or implant.
God has his mark too, witch is the Sabbath day.
