There's been a long line of popes, while the "beast" will be only one man. No other man can defeat the "beast", but the popes were defeated many times. Napoleon imprisoned one pope at Avignon. The popes kept largely silent while Hitler & Mussolini were in power. And NO pope has ever entered a temple in Jerusalem, nor had a miracle-working false prophet as his deputy.

And Jesus never claimed to have a monopoly on covenant-making. A treaty between nations is a covenant. A covenant is any compact between parties. -

1st John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son.
1st john 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
2nd john 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
How does that link up with the beast?
Deut 6:8, Deut 11:18, Exodus 13:9 -- God's marks commanded to be upon the head and hands of his people to show their faithfulness
literally marks as well? -

No, it's the prince of those people. Here's proof:
Daniel 9:Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
JESUS' covenant is FOR EVER, not just for one week. -

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
The people are the subject here, not the prince.
Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
So HE is the messiah. The prince isn't the subject of either verse. -

BUT
the basis for that covenant was obedience:
Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”Messiah was the only one who lived in perfect obedience, & could confirm the covenant by his obedience & blood.
Why only one week? Jesus' ministry lasted half of one week, & the Apostles confirmed the covenant for a further half week until -
the Jews who rejected their Messiah were declared "uncircumcised" by the Spirit-inspired preaching of Stephen. The covenant was confirmed for a week with the Jews but did not then end. The Gospel was opened to uncircumcised Gentiles & runs on with Jew & Gentile, by faith, for all eternity. -

What do you understand by: the fullness of the Gentiles has come in?
AND
Luke 21:And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
What does Scripture say will then happen? -
