Daniel 3:15
3:15 Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music
, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?”
Exodus 20:5

of those who reject me,

Revelation 13:15-17
13:15 The second beast
was empowered
to give life
to the image of the first beast
so that it could speak, and could cause all those who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
13:16 He also caused
everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave
) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.
13:17 Thus no one was allowed to buy
or sell things
unless he bore
the mark of the beast – that is, his name or his number.
