It seems you have to choose it willingly (reading Revelation 14:9-12).
Here’s what the Scripture says. Truth be told, if people were coming after me to attempt to force the Mark of the Beast upon me.......(YMMV)
Revelation 13:10
King James Version
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

That makes sense. Thanks.
Also got a hunch our mileage won’t vary much...
