Along with what Jesse said, those who take the mark of the beast will be expected or forced to worship the beast. Therefore, they will be idolators and non-believers in Jesus Christ. These will be what is used to condemn them to the lake of fire forever.
Those who take the mark will have no hope of salvation. It will be too late to be saved once a person takes the mark. That is their punishment.
But your question, why does God punish those who receive the mark of the beast?
First, we have to understand that God is a righteous God and a righteous judge. God makes no mistakes in His judgements.
Those who take the mark will be punished for their disobedience to God. God is going to send the gospel message out, and that message will reach every single person, and they will be warned not to take the mark.
So those who refuse the gospel message, those who refuse the warning not to take the mark, God will punish. They will lose the opportunity to be saved for disobeying God.
