Revelation 13 and Daniel 11 cover for us the real system of the Beast...the mark and the two beasts described.
Our governments are influenced by "oracles, witches and diviners" not of the Lord...in order for man to have power over man.
The first beast is a system that lasts many years.  The antichrist spirit exalts itself - not God.
Whatever a person desires to achieve is what they worship.
144 is a number of completion.

We have to function in a system that hates believers.
