Yes, my original post was about Matthew 24.
O.K. let's look at
Revelation 13:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
On the contrary, these are not God's/Jesus Christ's people. These are they which have been deceived by Satan. They have a three-fold way of doing business with the rest of the world.
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he
(1) that had the mark,
(2) or the name of the beast,
(3) or the number of his name.
Yes, the image - it's from Daily Kos - sigh (they copied the tract)

(Luke 17:28 ... as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold ......)
Wait, we’re not to the point of disagreeing yet.
Rev 13:18 says that the reader will gain wisdom from the number of the name of the beast. I believe that wisdom will allow those whom God enlightens, his people, to buy and sell without taking the mark of the best.
I believe we don’t know what that wisdom is or how to make use of it until we are faced with those choices.
