Lucky for us it seems the main means of killing saints will be beheading, that's quicker and more painless than stoning.

And should I be beheaded for refusing the mark then so be it. God will give me the strength to go out bravely and face the guillotine like a boss.

well, not like a boss, but like one walking in faith that they ascend to their father and your father, their God and your God, with hope and optimism and knowing that vengeance for your death will be the Lord's.

Don't worry about not knowing. The antichrist will make sure that you and everyone knows of your choice over God. He will revel in it for all to see.
In my mind somewhere it says that the mark will be in the hand or the forehead? Your choice is just as important to God so there will be two that make sure you know what you are signing for or away.
Also, supposedly there will be many things you will not be able to do without the mark such as buy food, etc. That's a dead giveaway. Stay alert.
Bless you!

You will be with the greatest in the whole world, God and Jesus and no longer in the world with satan.

We've had epidemics and pandemics of deadly diseases since time began. The Coronavirus is not the mark of the beast.

Is corona = 666 just a coincidence then?

A virus itself isn't the mark, thats not whats meant here. The whole word and agenda behind it and what leads up to it can be.

With everything that's going on, I am scared of the Mark of the Beast.

good point. Rev 13 presents this as very very scary.

It says the whole world is deceived by it

Matthew 24 says it is soooo powerful even the very elect are at risk - "if possible to deceive the very elect".

2 Thess 2 says that it comes with all the power and signs and wonders of satan himself.

The mark of the beast is its name or number. Rev 13:16. That is, it’s a sign that you worship this opponent of God. Something isn’t a mark of the beast unless it is a sign that you are a follower of the enemy. Wearing a mask is not a sign that you are worshipping the beast. Neither are all the other things that Christians get upset about. It’s hard to see how a medical mask could be the name or number of the beast. Furthermore, God judges us knowing our intention, so it’s not something one could do without intending it to be a sign of submission to the enemy.

I had some Christians try to tell me that the mark of the beast was in the COVID19 vaccine so I should not take it. You cannot turn a GPS receiver, and RF transmitter, a microprocessor to control it all, an energy source powerful enough to transmit a signal, an antenna system with counter-poise, and all the circuitry to make it all happen and turn that into molecules using nanobots that flow thru an epidermic needle. Besides, we already have all that tech in our smart phones, so why would there even be a need to molecularize it (which is not physically possible)?

I think the mark of the beast ('s name) has to be after the abomination of desolation (the image of the beast) is standing on the temple mount. Which people will be required at that time to worship the beast and his image.

I agree with this. It makes sense, and if you believe in the premillenial rapture, the church will be gone and only unsaved people will be left, though even then God made a plan to allow some to reject the mark and stand against the beast until the end, dying a martyr's death and being saved. I'm not there yet, but I wonder if the vast number that suddenly appear in heaven to John are from rapture of the church or martyrs from the tribulation that refuse the mark of the beast?

I would say yes. It is when the week of days is split though. The week of the 7th Trumpet. It is not in the Seals, first 6 Trumpets, nor 7 Thunders.
