You know it'll be the mark of the beast when every man woman and child is required to take it, and it's place on the right hand or the forehead,
If you take the scriptural references literally.
I'm sure there's a compelling argument out there that "head" and "right hand" refer to something symbolic...
There IS a consequence for taking this mark, indeed. I can only assume it'd be Telestial Kingdom for you.

Meaning, thus, during the Millennial Reign, they shall still be in Spirit Prison or something like unto it, suffering for their sins, until the Reign ends and they get resurrected in perfect physical bodies, and enter into Telestial Glory.
