Hello again, Alert!
Regarding the above, there is only one reason that people will except the mark and that because, as the scripture states, "unless anyone had the mark, they would not be able to buy or sell." When the mark becomes the only valid method of electronic crediting and debiting, it will force people to make a choice to receive it or reject it. Those who receive it will be those whose names were not written in the book of life from before the world began (Rev.17:8) and those who reject it will be those great tribulation saints. The latter will know the consequences for those who receive the mark and the former group will only be concerned about saving their lives here and will readily receive it.
Buying and selling refers to any and all money transactions. Therefore since without the mark no one will be able to buy or sell, then there will be no other coercion needed, because not being able to buy food, gas, pay bills, mortgage's, rent, etc., people will gladly receive it. For without that mark a person would not be able to function in society.
An example would be that, if the government announced that cash was no longer a valid form of payment and that only electronic crediting and debiting via a bank card was expectable, then everyone would need a bank card in order to buy or sell and anyone with cash would not be able to. Well, the mark is going to replace cash, checks, as well as the other electronic methods of buying and selling, so that his mark will be the only valid way of making purchases.

Greetings Ahwatukee, All buying and selling in the US and most developed nations is illegal without signing one Perjury oath on a SSN application! How many people do you know without one? People line up willingly every day to get one because without one thay cannot leagally get employment, borrow, sell etc! Call any bank and ask if you can get an account without your SSN. Or a Job. It is so bvious people will not accept it! Its brilliant, but deadly.
