Question about mark of the beast in a post trib context

If were are indeed under a post trib scenario and we as believers have to go through this thing, I was wondering at what early age would the antichrist give his mark to? Will it be given to infants and small children with or WITHOUT their consent? If so that would be sentencing them to hell without them doing anything about it.

I surely hope that isn't the case. Now I have heard from some prophecy and end times scholars that infants and children would not be given such a thing but would wait until the age of accountability to make such a decision.

I've also heard that when the antichrist does come on the scene he will make past dictators and evil people such as Hitler, Stalin, or even Nero and King Herod look very tame. And if that's the case than just like King Herod may have such people terminated under all circumstances.

Since after all infants and children are considered innocent and in the antichrist's "new world order" he would probably not want anything innocent existing within it. So in my view that's what may possibly go down.

And again this is assuming a post trib view if we are under a pre trib rapture view then all infants and children under the age of accountabilty (whenever that is) get a free pass and take part in the rapture along with all believers. But what do you all think, do all think I'm right on this? If not, where am I wrong? But anyways, thank you all for your time.

I think you're gonna drive yourself crazy analyzing this.

All this is open to a lot of assumptions that scripture is just not clear on. I just trust God will be with me in whatever I go through.

If this were the case, I don't think they'd be going to hell since they didn't choose to take it.

Probably true. Nimrod II.
I heard an intriguing idea that perhaps Satan has an antichrist in the ready for every generation since he doesn't know exactly what time Jesus will return. I guess this makes more sense if you hold a pre-trib view, though...
