ENEMIES OF GOD VOTE POLITICIANS INTO OFFICE.
  THEY ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE "SCROLL OF LIFE".

"…And the dragon gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority… and  all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration. And they worshipped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshipped the wild beast with the words: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?" And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it… And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His Name and His residence, even those residing in heaven. And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world."  (From Rev 13:2-8).

"And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast, or the number of its name."  (Rev 13:16,17).

Anyone voting for politicians are giving their allegiance and their will to them.  The Christ our Lord gave two symbolic names for the last political rulers active worldwide in the time of the end:  The "image of the wild beast" and the "eighth king".  (13:15-17.  14:9-11.  17:11).  This "eighth king" is from the previous seven kingly world rulers with satan's authority over all the earth.  (King Nebuchadnezzar was the first of these world rulers).

The last king, the eighth, is a composite "king" made up of the various evil elements and dispositions of the previous seven. This composite "king" are the individuals ruling over all the earth     men who have accepted the power and evil authority that satan has handed down to them. (13:2-4).  They are called:  Politicians.

Anyone admiring, worshipping or supporting politicians by giving them authority to act on their behalf and in any way they choose, do so when they vote them into office. (13:3-8). These voters, and those they vote into office, are adjudged as enemies of God and enemies of His coming Kingdom Rule.  (11:17,18).

The Kingdom of God will consist of 144,000 Spirit anointed priests. (7:3,4 & 5:9,10). Since the "new covenant" of God was inaugurated through the sacrifice of His Son, these anointed ones have been gathered from each generation to become members of the heavenly Kingdom and government of God. (Heb 8:6  13).  As a Kingdom of priests they will  minister to those who did not worship satan's political "wild beast" or serve members of its political "image" on earth.

The apostle Paul warned: "We have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places."  (Eph 6:12).

Members of the political "wild beast" and their subjects who vote for them (all of whom have its "mark") are not "written in the scroll of life", and so will not receive a resurrection to everlasting spirit life in the blissful heavenly realm of God. (Rev 13:6-8).  As to the number of human souls to be saved, this is what a servant of God said: "I  repeat what I have said again and again:  the lost outnumber the saved as a wave exceeds a  drop of water."  (2 Esdras 9:14 NEB).
