PROPOSAL FOR CONSIDERATION:
The "mark of the beast," as it is a "sign" on the hand or forehead… Might this "sign" be a "symbol," or a [HANDSHAKE]. Might the "sign" on the forehead be the [EYE OF PROVIDENCE] or the [THIRD EYE]?
You must have it to do business…
"And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.18This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."
—Revelation 13:11–18

My interpretation is that the symbols are given such powers as to control men, and the symbols were created by man, and you have to subject yourself to the system of symbols to live.
This is masonic.
My research has let me to the Freemasons. Their constant use of symbols outs them in the public realm. Digging for pictures of masonic handshakes done by those we have long suspected as cabal has been fruitful.
Let it be known, we will not let the masons off.
THE HANDSHAKE AND THE EYE OF PROVIDENCE ARE THE SIGN ON THE HAND AND THE FOREHEAD.
