By my research, Bible prophecy symbolizes and defines pieces of a puzzle.
A "mark" is synonymous with a memorial & a seal. Frontlets between the eyes (forehead) & hand are connected like faith & works. See "The Infamous Mark" later.

1) Truth or False - World History supports the same order of 4 kingdoms from Babylon to Rome as is prophecied (or foretold) in the Bible.
Truth - click the arrow below for proof.
My research includes over 35 clues that depict Rome as the 4th beast.
2) Truth or False - Daniel 2 foretells Babylon as the 1st of 4 successive kingdoms.
Truth - Babylon's king has a vision, and in verse 38, God's message is, "Thou art this head of gold."
The names of the 4 kingdoms (or countries) are listed at the bottom of this page.
* Definitions: Metals = Kingdoms (or countries) in Daniel 2:38-40
Daniel 7 signifies the same succession of kingdoms as Daniel 2, but whereas these countries are metals in Daniel 2 Beasts in Daniel 7.
* Definitions: Beasts = Kingdoms (or countries) in Daniel 7:17, 18, 23
Revelation 17:3, 7 support the idea that since a Woman is a church, & Rome is the Beast, then the Catholic Church would "sit upon & be carried by"...Rome.
