I think a literal mark will e involved, a permanent mark. Because those who take the mark cannot repent and become born again. If it were an attitude of heart, well that can change, the holy spirit can lead people to repentance. So had to be more than that. Otherwise we get into the Calvinsim doctrine of some being chosen and others rejected when salvation has always been a free will issue
Good day, Kolistus,
I do indeed believe that it will be a literal mark. When God first called me at 14 years old, I was immediately drawn to end-time events and the book of Revelation. When the first ATM's began to appear I knew that this was relevant to the coming mark. Then came the Universal Product Code (UPC), followed by the Point of Sales system (POS) with the Verifone device for card swiping. And now we have the RFID technology.
Sweden has always been ahead of the world in regards to the cashless technology, using cards to make all of their purchases. Starting in around 2015, they began inserting people with RFID chips which are about the size of a grain of rice. Now people are being chipped in droves! And they are anxious and excited to receive it. They use it for building security, access to machines and now they are able to purchase their train tickets right on the train by having their hand scanned, as well as other purchases, which is buying . However, I believe that this device will evolve into something smaller and more applicable in preparation for that coming antichrist. I don't know if you have already seen this or not, as I have posted it here many times. But check out this secular video of what is happening in Sweden. This technology is a match for Revelation 13:16-17

I believe it's impossible to say what the mark will be at this point. However, I believe it specifies the right hand to prove that God knows the end from the beginning, and it tells us what to look for. The Antichrist will require the mark to be on the right hand; if it's not, it's not authorized. It will have to be on the right hand or forehead to authorize a person to buy or sell. This will be the Antichrist's preference. It most likely indicates allegiance to the Antichrist. Most military salutes are performed with the right arm as was the Nazi salute.

The right hand is the symbol of power or authority, so once you surrender your right hand and submitted to another, you are no longer have that power. It has been controlled by someone.
Exodus 15: 6
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Exodus 15: 6
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Doesn't Revelation 20:4 allude to this?
The mark of the beast won't just be a mark on the body it will mean having to worship the beast. No worship of beast makes it likely those who refuse will be killed
This is why those whose names aren't yet in the Lambs book of life are at risk of receiving this mark. why we must pray for them!

It does seem likely it may be a chip
What is scary is that surely most people would be rioting and protesting and petitioning if this is our in place? We would think so. But am guessing this beast will be so convincing that many will be deceived by him, like They were deceived by that other antichrist, Hitler

Scripture does not say refusal of the mark leads to death.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Refusing to worship the image of the beast is a death penalty.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Refusing the mark isn't a death penalty. The only penalty is not being able to buy and sell which means no participation in the official economy. That would make life very hard but isn't something you will be killed for.
Here are people who refused the mark and survived:
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Some Christians will survive and be changed and raptured after the Great Tribulation has ended, at the second coming. People who have taken the mark do not qualify to be raptured. Instead, the marked will suffer the wrath of God in the 7 vials.
Refusing the mark doesn't get you killed. All it does is exclude you from buying or selling.

There's Going To Be An End Times Persecution, The Beast And His Kingdom Are The Target Of God's Empowered (Two Witnesses)
The Great Tribulation Will Come Upon The Wicked World, While The (Sealed Church) Is Protected
The (Sealed Church) will be present on earth and protected, when wicked men are tormented 5 months, desiring to die as death flees
All saved believers are (Sealed) by God, Eph 1:13, 4:30
Ephesians 1:13KJV
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 4:30KJV
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
It Was Commanded, Only Those Without God's Seal, The Sealed Church Is Protected
Revelation 9:3-6KJV
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
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.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Plagues upon The Beast and his Kingdom, a remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt
Revelation 11:3-6
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Revelation 16:1-11KJV
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

Another clue that the vaccine is not the Mark of the Beast is seen in Rev. 13. Verses 8 and 15 indicate those taking it will be doing it as a form of worship. It will be required as a pledge of allegiance to the antichrist. Those who take it will have made a conscience decision that will ultimately end with their being lost for eternity.
