He is able to dismantle this world and reassemble it. The Apocalypse speaks about God's antagonist, the beast. This animal does not have a name, but a number.

In their horror, they cancel faces and history, transforming man into a number, reducing him to a cog in an enormous machine.

This is a risk being repeated today. In our days, we should not forget that they prefigured the destiny of a world that runs the risk of adopting the same structure of the concentration camps, if the universal law of the machine is accepted. The machines that have been constructed impose the same law. According to this logic, man must be interpreted by a computer and this is only possible if translated into numbers. The beast is a number and transforms into numbers.
