According to at least one branch of Lutheranism, the office of the papacy is the anti-christ. Not any one pope in particular, but the whole idea of an earthly man claiming infallibility and other God-like attributes.
There's also room to debate whether the mark of the beast is six hundred sixty-six or just a string of numbers (possibly serial numbers on currency, or credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.) that seems to starve those not in possesion of it.
Not to highjack things but the book of Revelations makes for a very interesting read if you take all the poetic imagery literally. Like science fiction only weirder. But of course, since it's God's word, it's all gonna happen. (time to stock up on insect spray)
