Okay. Then you go on and worry about that for me ...
For me and mine, I’ll worry about things that I have a chance of influencing. Seems to me if God has ordained that the Beast WILL come and WILL impose the MotB as a prelude to the Second Coming/Rapture/Armageddon, there is NOT ONE THING I can do to change that. I also do not recall that God commanded me to to be overly worried about it, or any of it’s precusers! Instead I should rejoice in the knowledge that HIS time is coming! When the appointed time comes, we will recognize the mark and can refuse to bear it. Of course that will mean that those which refuse the mark will be persecuted or outright killed. But that is the choice we have - accept the mark and the reign of the beast, or remain faithful.
Hyperventalating about it is counterproductive. We were commanded to spread HIS word - not to try and prevent HIS will from being done ...
Worry is a sin.
However, Scripture does exhort that the wise see calamity coming and
PREPARE.
My goal is for FREEPERS to be prayed up and prepared . . . preferably ready to GO UP.
