"Do any of the children of Israel end up worshipping the beast or taking his mark?"


Do any of the children of Israel end up worshipping the beast or taking his mark?

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
  10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
  11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Was Jesus warning that some would?

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
  26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Apparently some will not, and flee instead, correct?

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
  16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Isaiah mentioned the following before the captivity, but does it also speak of the future, where some agree with the beast?

Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

However, there be 144,000 that will not take the mark of the beast, but instead are sealed by the LORD, correct?

Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
  4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Is that like 1% of the total number of Israel alive in the world?
Sadly, does not Zechariah speak about those in the land, that many will perish?

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
  9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Hopefully, many of that two-thirds, will not have worshipped the beast or taken his mark.
But the remaining third clearly do not worship the beast or take his mark.
