And sadly.many will cave,and get the mark because they won’t be able to buy fuel,to keep,warm in deadly cold,winters, or keep,cool with in deadly hot weather. They won’t be able to travel unless,they get the mark, work etc. The roresure to get the mark will be tremendous when parents have to watch their kids starving or freezing to death, and far too many will succumb to that pressure.
I think,though you might see grave robberies in the end times where folks dig up bodies of thise who got the mark and dig out the chip and use it for, using and selling without actually taking the mark by worshipping the beast themselves.
Perhaps some non complinat entrepreneurs will come up with ways to keep,buying and selling without selling their souls to,the evil one to do so.
Yeah I remember when the “mark” was cable TV and barcodes.
Same old stuff, different day.
