It looks like you will have two antichrist,the first beast is the fore-runner, setting things up for the second beast, the antichrist himself.this one will cause everyone to receive the mark, and the ones that will receive it are the ones that are against christianity.. the believers will be slaughtered , because they will not take the mark. That is why I said that the Roman Government is the beast,because they slaughtered the christians, shedding innocent blood during the earlier persecution ., and shedding innocent blood is an abomination to God. the abomination of desolation. headed for destruction.They're coming back.
