✦ Chapter Overview

The chapter describes a powerful, deceptive figure called the beast who rises from the earth, bears the number 666, and seeks to deceive the world by demanding worship and imposing a mark on its people. It warns that the beast’s authority is false and will be ultimately destroyed, while the faithful will be protected from its influence.
