Well, if you take it literally, then it’s a mark, on your head or hand. So, no actions other than the mark. And I haven’t yet heard angels on high warning about the mark. So, as I have seen scripture revealed literally then I’m thinking that no actions replace the actual mark.
Make no mistake. It will come.

Just guessing here... but could “head” mean how you think?....and “hand” mean your actions?
There are two things that go together ... look at this ...
” ... worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
That’s joined by the word “and” - which means both go together. It’s not an “or” statement. And also remember one other condition that goes with this - one can neither buy or sell without this.
SO ... when you see ALL THAT coming together in one set if circumstances, then you’ll have it - along with those angels giving a prior warning.
I always say, “I haven’t seen those angels yet “... :-) ...
Yes, it will come.
You may find the cd offered free from shepherds Chapel— Gravette Ark.helpful.Pastor Arnold Murray does a fair job explaining the Mark of the Beast. And I agree with him the passage was not intended to be taken literally but spoke of the symbolic nature —of doing the work of Satan(Hand) of thinking contrary to Gods will(forehead) something to consider.You must decide for yourself.
