I understand that people will be getting the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell. But what about children? For example, if the COVID vaccine is the mark, and two parents bring their young children (or even toddlers and babies) to get the vaccine, are those children (who don't know any better) going to hell? They didn't choose the mark, the parents might make them get it.

It's not a physical mark of any kind ... it has to do with worship. Regarding the very young ... age of accountability .. at what age does a person have the mental ability to believe or not believe in God/Jesus? Varies, but God will not forsake the innocents (those of an age that do not have mental ability)

How can it not be physical? It's on the forehead or hand. How will they know whether you have the mark or just faking it to get food otherwise? What if the parents were warned but did not believe---would their children's blood be on their hands? Wouldn't that county since the parents were warned and did not listen?

Children, infants, mentally challenged etc. will not be held accountable for that which they cannot understand.

Because revelation is a book all about spiritual things. A mark is an identifying characteristic - Christians should already have the mark of Christ's nature in them. In the Bible, hands is speaking about your actions, and your forehead is talking about the content of your mind. If you are being transformed into the mind of Christ, the beast nature that is part of you will not be able to leave a mark. You are already identified as Christ's. It is a spiritual thing. In the Bible, Food is always about what you feed yourself spiritually, and buying and selling always refers to giving and recieving the word or the spirit.

Children die in war all the time.
Why do you think they wouldn't die if they receive the mark of the beast?

It is a physical mark in the right hand or forehead used to buy and sell.
Some people can't understand simple descriptions so they make up stufff that makes no sense.
Just keep listening to God and ignore these people who don't.

His word is highly metaphorical and symbolic and need to understand what is literal or otherwise.

The "mark" on the forehead ... is what you think .... the "mark" on your hand is what you do.

The forehead is where the brain is located and is where we do our thinking ... the hand(s) is how we do things.

In the very end times ... there will come a time ... the anti-christ will be worshipped and a religious system coupled with a governmental system .... will unite and be in control.

Religion controls worship .... governments control commerce.

In Israel where its illegal to preach the gospel the government is moving to have a cashless society.
They are going to do away with cash because it's hard to collect taxes on the black market. Therefore they are divising a new system in which to buy and sell.
