Wow. I have never thought about it that way. That makes perfect sense!

BecauseHeLives,
even at this present time, those who are religious in Christ who love their denomination more than Truth are likewise being deceived....

I agree with you on that. I have asked people if they were a Christian and be told that they are: Catholic, Baptist, etc.
I attend a Baptist Church, but my Church did not save me. Salvation is not about the name of your Church but your relationship with God.
I also believe that there are those who are vulnerable to be deceived who are like Oprah. They have known the truth of the Gospel, but have become so politically correct, that they prefer to believe that there are thousands of ways to enter Heaven.
Then there are those who put together their own religion. They take a little bit of Christianity, a little Muslim, a little Buddhist, etc, and put together a religion that they find more pleasing.
I believe the one world religion, will be a combination of religions, taking a little of everything but Jesus, to make a religion that the masses will be attracted to.
When the rapture happens the world will have a big wake up call. They will either run to the God of Heaven in repentance or they will open themselves up for the one world religion.
Have a nice day.

these are the ones that will receive the mark of the beast....
2 Thessalonians 2 (Amplified Bible)
9The coming [of the lawless one, the Antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and delusive marvels--[all of them] lying wonders--
10And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing (going to perdition) because they did not welcome the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved.
11Therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false,
12In order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe in [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely on] the Truth, but [instead] took pleasure in unrighteousness.
even at this present time, those who are religious in Christ who love their denomination more than Truth are likewise being deceived....
Yahweh looks to the heart, He knows if we love Truth more than anything else....
remember Yahshua is The Way, The Truth, And The Life ..... Jn 14:6

I also agree quote:
People will not accept the mark by accident.
they will except it of their free will.
That's something I've wondered about. I hope you are right, and that we won't be able to get it by accident.

BecauseHeLives,
Thank you. I find it comforting that God loves the lost so much, that he will not allow someone to accidentally get the mark. It has to be a choice that each person makes.

Rev 16:2 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.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
---------------
I do not believe the mark will be a chip. I believe the people will be so in awe of the anti-Christ that they will want a mark that shows up on the skin for all to see. We already know that the devil's greatest sin was pride. He wants to throw it in God's face that God's creation is willing to have their bodies marked with an image that represents the anti-Christ. Many Preachers believe the mark will be given at the middle of the tribulation. At this point the world will be weary from the wrath of God and from other tribulations. With the miracles the anti-Christ preforms, the majority of people will gladly accept the anti-Christ as their "god". Not only will they worship him, but they will wear his mark with pride.
This said, I would not be comfortable having that thing in my body. I do understand loved ones who have family members with illness that affects their brains to want to be able to keep them safe.
I have seen loved ones on TV desperate to find loved ones who are lost and no longer capable of finding their way home.
People will not accept the mark by accident. They will know when they get it that they are pledging their heart and soul to the anti-Christ. Of course not all who receive the mark will really care if he is a god or not. Some will sell their souls like Esau sold his birthright, for food.
