Hello again Cominghomeagain101, yes, of course we would, because if your ~what if~ scenario actually came true, that would mean that God lied to us about the fate of the beast (or about His knowing the true fate of the beast and/or the fate of those who wear his mark). And if the latter is true (that He didn't know), that would mean that He is not omniscient, and that His claims of being so, e.g. that He knows/declares the end of all things from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9b-10) were also lies/fabrications as well
All of this would also mean that NOTHING in the Bible could be counted on/trusted as something that is true, or as something that will come to pass (which would include all of God's many statements and promises to us about our salvation and eternal life).
