Further details about the Antichrist and mark of the beast
It is clear from Revelation 13 that all those worshipping the Antichrist go on to taking his mark and these are all individuals not in the Book of Life; predetermined before time itself it appears here.
I can't speak for anyone else here but I have had times many years ago when I was not right with God about being compelled to take the mark; as a sort of vision of the future and horror is an understatement for the pure terror I felt. Now I have discussed before what seems to indicate some who are left behind; but I am considering the state here of whoever is in the Tribulation. Man may indeed be terrified and serve Satan with fear who are unregenerate but the emphasis of scripture is rejection of God because men would not LOVE the truth and be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 puts it this way: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Our Lord often stated let this sink into your ears; and this is one of those cases it seems. The sad truth and reality is that we all NOW would worship the Antichrist if we are unregenerate. Try that for size sharing the Gospel with someone; I wouldn't recommend it too often but if man cannot accept his sin nature that is a wake up call. As my "famous" quote states Satan is the equal opportunity destroyer; and (I'll borrow another common phrase) will use any means necessary to bring about his purpose and will. There will be no Atheists as I have shared before in regard to the 6th Seal by the time this mark ensues; and there will be no halfhearted followers. The signs and wonders will be worldwide and no doubt be more than sufficient to convince the masses to think that they indeed have utopia; and likely will live forever taking this mark. Perhaps some will glee in making themselves unredeemable through DNA alteration; in reality their souls already are lost.
