i think youre mixing up your terms. the mark is necessary to buy and sell. the world has monetized everything, including food and clothing, thus weaponizing money.
what does jesus say?
Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
so if all of these things are monetized, what does that tell you? what is the mark? protip - the germans had it right.
Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
