So what you are saying is that Christ’s sacrifice is not powerful enough to pay for the sin of taking the Mark of the Beast.
Sorry, I just don’t buy that. His sacrifice is entirely adequate to pay for any sin if it is repented.
It reads very clearly.
I would suggest a careful reading of Revelation. Also, it helps to read Daniel and Matthew 24. The problem with the recipients of the mark is that they won’t be doing any repenting but will continue to defy God. They will be sent a “strong delusion.” Max was simply pointing what the Word of God says.
