"The Mark of the Beast" by Sidney Watson is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. This novel explores apocalyptic themes and delves into the aftermath of the Lord's Second Coming, focusing on the fate of those left behind during the Tribulation. It raises profound questions about the nature of evil, the Antichrist, and the significant moral dilemmas faced by its characters, particularly Judith Montmarte and Colonel Youlter, as they
navigate an increasingly chaotic world. The opening of the story introduces a small house-party at "The Antlers," an old Warwickshire estate, where the striking Judith Montmarte, a Jewess with a multifaceted personality, engages in conversation with Colonel Youlter, a Thibet explorer. Their dialogue touches on the occult, mysticism, and the implications of biblical prophecy, hinting at deeper, darker forces at play. Judith's fascination with the occult reveals her complex character and sets the stage for later developments, indicating that her intentions may be morally questionable. This opening portion establishes an intriguing premise centered around themes of religious belief, spiritual exploration, and the potential rise of malevolent entities, preparing the reader for a tale steeped in suspense and prophetic significance.
