The Abomination of Desolation - St. Marys Coptic Orthodox Church

invented nineteen centuries later.
This means that Antichrist will use Television to its maximum
potential. He will be on every channel and people will be worshipping
him even at home when they see him on T.V. delivering his sermons or
giving his “blessing” to his “flock”. As a great speaker with irresistible
charisma and many miracles Antichrist will put heavy emphasis on the
use of T.V. Satellites will bring him alive to every house in the world and
in every language.
THE MARK OF THE BEAST:
The false prophet will order that people would have the mark of the
beast on their forehead or the right hand. That mark would be his name
or the number of his name: 666. Those who refuse this will be at a
financial disadvantage, unable to buy nor sell.
Christ gave to those who believed on Him the honourable and life-giving
cross, and he in like manner will give his own sign. ... and he will put his
mark on their right hand and on their forehead, that no one may put the
sign of the honourable cross upon his forehead with his right hand; but
his hand is bound. And from that time he shall not have power to seal
any one of his members, but he shall be attached to the deceiver, and
shall serve him; and in him there is no repentance. But such an one is lost
at once to God and to men. 1
The technology of biometric identification, i.e., identifying a person by
scanning his forehead or his hand, is already available. In the same
manner in which a cashier scans a product at the cash register and its
name, size, price ... etc. appear on the screen, this technology can
identify a man’s name, social security number, even his medical history
by scanning his forehead or his hand. No doubt, Antichrist will use this
technology to identify his own followers, and to discriminate against
those who are “unbelievers.”
For those who are sceptics about this, or think that it is far fetched,
let me offer excerpts from an article that appeared in the Globe and
1 Hippolytus: Discourse on the end of the world and on Antichrist.
