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.

I tend to differ here. The "mark" will be financial. Not having the mark will make one unable to buy or sell. The "mark of the beast" here will most assuredly be connected to internet computers. Those without the mark will be unable to buy, sell, work, move around freely, and be subject to imprisonment.
Apparently you consider that everyone makes carefully weighed decisions. That's hardly the case. I've never seen such a dishonest Press, which will promote the mark unceasingly and extol its virtues, while mocking the "anti-markers." People, including Christians, do stupid things just to go along. Many "sleep" with their hands on the remote, binging on some computer screen. I am regularly shocked at the lack of any wisdom or discernment even among Christians.
I have long felt that some of those who receive the "mark" will remove it somehow after waking from their "sleep," and many of those who initially reject the "mark," will succumb to pressures and eventually take it. Today's vax mandates are not the "mark," but surely are prepping us for it.
