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.

Revelation 20:1-6

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and locked and sealed it over him, so that he would deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let out for a little while.

Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
