Revelation 13:15-17
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both —speak, and cause —that as many as would not worship the image of the beast (G2342) should be killed.
And he causes all— both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond— to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man may buy or sell, save (or except) he have the mark— or the name of the beast (G2342), or the number of his name.

One will ‘come down’ from their cross.

_________________________________
Those who are his, are already marked— by the seal of God; they have made the spiritual pilgrimage with him, returned home (to him, inside) again— and have become ONE with his Spirit.
And in this— they are already sealed.
These are not marked with the ‘beast,’ or carnality— they are marked with the Spirit, and LIFE— already.
The law of sin and death does not function in them any longer, but they operate by the lead of the HOLY spirit, are coming into HIS SIMILITUDE again, his image— and walk not the paths of unrighteousness any longer.
These, know of the system of the ‘beast/created’ worship, and these— will NOT love their carnal self lives, so much as to save them, through the worship of the flesh, the beast— or the systems put in place to save the beast/creature, or flesh— nor receive anything into themselves, to do so.
These are those who are FIRST spiritually marked by God, sealed and preserved, for it is HIS VERY SPIRIT that indwells them, conforms them, and leads them; these— KNOW where they are heading, and who is inside living with them— leading them ‘home,’ now— and enduring— who is faithful to his children.
These are spiritually sealed and marked by God– within, because God is Most High within them, already.
These will not worship the beast (the flesh and preserving it) to save their carnal, material lives; these know—
from dust they came, and to dust they will return.
These have undergone the transformation process of sanctification and consecration; these worked out their salvation— with their God.
These have his laws written on their hearts, and serve only him; these are his children.
2 Corinthians 6:18
And will be a Father [parent] unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters [kinship], says the Lord Almighty.

THEN— we will walk in dominion with him, as the Lion; first the slaughtering, and tagging us, like livestock— with his seal and mark— then, we will walk in dominion inside, and out— in this realm, and all other realms with him: manifested Romans 8 sons of God, a clean and spotless Bride, who is wrinkle free as she has been ‘ironed out’ in her conduct, become one as/like with her God, Father, and Bride groom— once again, returning to his image within.
