[Just mythoughts]

The mark is in the mind. The hand is symbolic of labor. And if one has no clue who instead of Christ literally is they are primed and already marked. Mark 13:23. Christ warned and He through His Word named the name of who is the instead of jesus

That is a good point

Revelation 20
and who had not adored the beast nor his image, nor received his character on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

There does seem to be more than one way to worship the beast but I have no doubt that if our society can do it they will put a computer chip in our right hands or in our foreheads, in the time of the eighth beast.
