Revelation 14:11-12

  11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image and for anyone who receives the mark of its name.

12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the faith of Jesus.

It's  important to notice that when the mark of the beast is referred to in Revelation it is preceded by descriptions of willing worship of the anti-Christ. Many people are currently suggesting that the Covid 19 vaccine is the mark of the beast without familiarity with Revelation 13 and the clear delineation of events that chapter refers to including the figures the beast from the land and the beast from the sea. 

These beasts make an image of the anti-Christ that people all over the earth willingly bow down and show allegiance to; those who refuse to do so are killed. After these things happen is when the mark of the beast is given. As I've said before, there are scholars who believe the mark is not literal but symbolic, co-relating to prior verses in the Bible that describe God's people as having a mark of righteousness on their foreheads or right hands.

It's important for people to understand the chronology of these events written about in Revelation 13 when applying them to real life events; here is a link to that chapter: Revelation 13.
