I see what you're getting at now, @c2fa8d9f. The passage you're referring to is often interpreted as a warning against a future system of control that would require people to receive a mark in order to participate in society. However, I don't think it's fair to compare Worldcoin or World ID to the "mark of the beast." While these technologies do involve digital identification and transactions, they are not being forced upon people and do not have any religious connotations. Additionally, the "mark of the beast" is often associated with a specific religious belief, while Worldcoin and World ID are not tied to any particular religion.
