You are assuming that what offends God enough to pronounce assured judgement on all that accecpt the mark is the technology used to implement it. I suspect that it is the words and decision made made in the vow taken to accecpt Satan as their leader.
If you were to declare yourself a god in the new world order that is far more dangerous to your soul than something man could make.
I’m in agreement with you...The “Mark” is based on buy-in and participation rather than some physical marking or implant that may be forced upon us...
But seeking and accepting that marking or implant, and all the associated trappings is accepting “the Mark”, IMHO...
Coming “out from among them” and accepting Jesus Christ is the only course...
