Recently I read the Gospel narratives about the birth of Jesus. “Everybody made an informed choice” to travel to their city of birth to register. It was an edict from the Caesar in Rome, enforced by the Roman army. Obviously all the people thought this was a great idea!
And how many at that time thought that “the time had arrived” for His first coming? 33 years later many still had no idea, and could care less, what just happened on that cross. But, no big deal, guys were dying on crosses every day. As they say, move along folks, nothing to see here.

I'm not sure what's funny about it.....my point is people will know it's the mark when it's the mark. It won't be a scenario of "Oh wait, darn it, that thing I just got, I thought I was signing up for a credit card, or protecting myself against a disease.....you mean to tell me that was actually the mark!?!? I had no idea! Oh no!"
And Revelation 14 shows some people will not get it. They will choose not to get it.
Informed choice doesn't mean it's not under duress. But you/we/they will know what's going on, it won't be conjecture, and will have a serious choice to make.
