Now this is a major Bible prophecy end time event to be fulfilled. Revelation 13 tells us that the mark of the beast will be enforced upon the whole world ... Revelation 13:16 ...'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 forehead.' ... Because of all the turmoil in the world, the church leaders (of Babylon) and the governments will unite in convincing the world that the mark of the beast (SEE HERE for information about the mark) will be the "solution" to the world's problems. They will convince the world (through deception) that all these troubles are the judgments of God because of us not keeping His law. And this is starting to happen already. Leaders in America have started attributing the disasters that are happening as God's judgments upon the world. Now although this is partly true, the "remedy" that they propose and enforce will actually go against God's ten commandments. The sad thing is, while the majority of the world are waiting for a physical mark of the beast to be enforced, like a microchip or tattoo, the REAL mark will be a spiritual one and only God's true end time saints will be able to identify it, and the majority of the world will be deceived into taking it.
