The First Jar—Painful Sores
16 Then I heard a loud voice coming from the house of God. The voice said to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven jars of God’s anger onto the earth!”
2 The first angel poured out his jar of God’s anger onto the earth. Painful sores were given to everyone who had the mark of the wild animal and who worshiped his god.
As you said submission to the antichrist is a big part of the mark. In my opinion people will not be unknowingly taking the mark or deceived beyond what they are accepting. I can see how some people who are so incredibly worldly that they don’t care enough about their soul to be aware but I still think it will be more about allegiance than deception.
