You are a false teacher. To say ‘everyone gets a mark’ is just mischaracterizing the Bible.
Wrong!!!
Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Everyone gets a mark. It’s either going to be the Seal of God or the mark of the beast.
What about the rest of the world?
Do they use SS#’s?
Stuff like SS#’s, mask mandates, vaccines are all preconditioning people to accept government demands.
The technology is in place to make a literal mark on the right hand or forehead feasible. Biochips can do that, scanners and readers can do that, computers to store all the personal information, a cashless society is on the horizon.
What’s the big stretch to conclude that the mark demanded in the middle of the Tribulation period is NOT literal, an actual, physical mark?
We are at a point in this world where that prophecy, for lack of a better term, can be literally fulfilled.
When a literal fulfillment is possible, why look for more meaning than is already there? That only leads to deception.
Nonsense.
Is worshiping on the Sabbath the ONLY command God ever gave the world?
Nope, it’s a literal mark, all your rationalizations and convoluted attempts at interpretation notwithstanding.
You are reading far more into the passage than is justified.
You are wrong. Course, SDA is wrong about a lot of stuff, so that’s no surprise there.
Are you Seventh Day Adventist, too?
Simple yes or no question.
Can you hold someone down against their will, put the “mark of the beast” on their forehead or hand, and say that they now follow the beast and their salvation is lost? The answer is no. It’s not what’s on the outside. It’s what’s in the inside that matters to God.
If you don’t care, the why are you on this thread so hot and bothered about social security numbers?
Is worshiping on the Sabbath the ONLY command God ever gave the world?
You don’t seem to have a problem with the other 9. Why this one? There’s your answer.
God commands the keeping of the 7th day Sabbath. The beast commands Sunday keeping.
The Catholic church’s stated mark of authority is changing the sanctity of the 7th day Sabbath to that of Sunday, “FOR WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL COMMAND”. That comes right from the Catholic Church.
Rev 7:3 is referring to the 144,000 Jews, of all the tribes of the children of Israel who are appointed by God to be his servants.
No Biblical Authorization for Sunday Sanctification:
In the Faith of Our Fathers, originally published in 1876, the late Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore wrote:
“... is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But, you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.”

Sabbath Abolished, Sunday Commanded:
“The Bible says, ‘Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.’ The Catholic Church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” — Father T. Enright C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, Mo., June 1893.
Source: History of the Sabbath, J. N. Andrews and L. R. Conradi, 4th edition, Revised and Enlarged, Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1912, pg. 802.
“God commands the keeping of the 7th day Sabbath.”
But Jesus didn’t and
John 3
35The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
Read Matthew 5. Jesus says in 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” and does not mention the Sabbath.
And the final nail in the coffin of Protestant Sunday keepers who mock Sabbath keepers:
The Catholic Church is Above the Bible in Authority:
Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. It has been changed. The Bible still teaches that the Sabbath or Saturday should be kept holy. There is no authority in the New Testament for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday. Surely it is an important matter. It stands there in the Bible as one of the Ten Commandments of God. There is no authority in the Bible for abrogating this Commandment, or for transferring its observance to another day of the week.
For Catholics it is not the slightest difficulty. “All power is given Me in heaven and on earth; as the Father sent Me so I also send you,” said our Divine Lord in giving His tremendous commission to His Apostles. “He that heareth you heareth Me.” We have in the authoritative voice of the Church the voice of Christ Himself. The Church is above the Bible; and this transference of Sabbath observance to Sunday is proof positive of that fact. Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God.

You can’t be serious.
In typical dead soul false teacher style you refuse to see whom Revelation says are those being sealed BEFORE the final Great Tribulation. But the Bible is clear in context that these being sealed are explicitly the 144000 Jewish evangelists. Your cult has you firmly in satan’s lying grasp.
No one but no one knows the time or date. False prophet! We aren’t there yet! Biden is on his way out, he just doesn’t know it yet!
See the photo for the flag in OP point #7.
Acts 7:43, (KJV)
“ 43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. “
That six-pointed star on the flag is the star of Remphan. There are multiple spellings of Remphan and even different words like Chemosh. That star has nothing to do with King David, and only to do with Solomon as he worshipped false gods. It has nothing to do with Jews, Hebrews, or Israelites, except as they worship false god, as the verse in Acts indicates.
The traditional symbol of Jews, of Jewish shops, was the menorrah.
But the Bible is clear in context that these being sealed are explicitly the 144000 Jewish evangelists.
Only if you believe in the pre trib rapture, one of Satan’s greatest lies. Oh, sorry, you believe that, don’t you?
