Social Security
USA dollar bills
Drivers licenses
College degrees
Business Licenses
These are all examples of marks of the beast
If you worship the beast and approve of regulations, certificates & licenses by an unethical government then you create Hell on earth for yourself
But you can take the Mark of the Beast as long as you do not worship it by approving of the beast system
A certification through a ethical voluntary thing would not necessarily be a Mark of the Beast
The temple was destroyed in approximately 70 AD and not one brick or stone was left on top of another if Mark 13 was fulfilled then
The wailing wall and the building the dome of the rock are on top of are not the temple
And if the temple is rebuilt by the Ashkenazi Jews it will be a evil place
A lot of the so called end times prophecies already happened when the Temple was destroyed or when Jesus rose from the dead
"This generation" that saw Jesus rise experienced them and it did not refer to the creation of Israel in 1948 by "this generation"
At least if you are going to assume the Bible is historically accurate and contains the word of God
This as I described makes more sense then the Zionist end times description which usually includes the rapture you mentioned which you said is wrong
I am not saying whether or not their will be a rapture or was a rapture but if such a thing will or did occur it certainly did not occur in the Zionist version of the end times
Might not be any end times if full preterism

The coins that the money worshipping Jews exchanged with images of Caesar on them were Marks of the beast
When Jesus said to give to Caesar what is Caesars
That is why he asked whose Mark and inscription is on it
He never said taxation was ethical
tax documents to fund counterfeit Israel are marks of the beast
He said to pay taxes but he never said that it was ethical to collect taxes
Like he said something like to give to the person who robs from you
