Verse 12 provides in the clearest terms that the faithful saints of God “keep the commandments of God”. Because of their obedience, they are not subject to the punishment that God will pour out in full measure. Clearly if commandment keeping provides safety and immunity, breaking God’s commandments is what constitutes worshipping “the beast”, or his “image”, and receiving the “mark of the beast”.

Not a single person in the Old Testament was able to keep the Commandments...So it's obvious no one here in verse 12 will be able to either...So as YOU say, they will ALL be condemned to Hell...

Unless there is an atonement...So again I'll ask, what do they do for an atonement???

Absolutely wrong. Enoch and Abraham come to mind and I’m sure Noah and his family did too along with a “bunch” of others not specifically mentioned in the bible. How about Moses? Joseph? Elijah? Abel?

God’s Promise to Isaac
Genesis 26:
…4I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, 5because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

Hebrews 11:
4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. 5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.…

Where do you get this stuff that humans can’t keep God’s commandments, that He specifically tells us to keep?
