wasn't it an attitude that saved the Israelites at Ezekiel 9:4
I don't believe this microchip to be even related to the mark of the beast.
I was simply explaining that in the scriptures a man with an inkhorn was told to go putting a mark on those who were sighing and groaning over the detestable and disgusting things going on in Israel then other men were told to follow that man with the inkhorn and kill all those in the city of Jerusalem except the ones who the man with the inkhorn marked, they were to let those live. This was a vision that Ezekiel had concerning Israel. Ezekiel 9:1-11
The point is these people in Israel did not literally receive a literal mark. The fact they were sighing and groaning over the detestable things being done was the mark.
And the Crux of your point is a decent point... well reasoned as Revelation is a highly metaphoric book of prophesy.
The manner that the Israelites were marked is unique and not the same word as the one in Revelations...which is the Greek/Early Latin word for coin stamping. Coin stamping was done to ensure the money had a verified amount of silver or gold in it. Verified by the King's/Governor's/Caesar's treasury. Any other money with no stamp or something else was suspicious of value... other metals might be mixed in or the weight might be off.
As you can see in the picture below the coin was placed in between and struck...the image would then be placed on the two sides and the coin was always uneven...one side thicker than the other.
