For the people of Israel, deliverance from Egypt was like a mark on their hand or between their eyes (Ex 13:9, 16). Faithfulness to God was to be normative in their daily lives.
It's not an actual mark. It's allegiance to God, or in the case of Revelation, allegiance to the beast.
Exactly this.
Completely wrong since the word used for mark means physical mark like a scar or tattoo.
There’s literally nothing that indicates that directly and clearly. But earlier in scripture there’s reference to marks in a similar way with a spiritual context not a physical one
How would one have AntiChrist' name or number associated with his name on their wrist or forehead?
You'd have to be able to see that, now wouldn't you and the original Greek word used for "Mark" means a physical mark, impression or tattoo.
Read scripture, that’s all I can say. The absolute best analysis of who or what the antichrist is, is that it’s the papacy. We’re told that the antichrist will blaspheme God, and we’re told in scripture what blasphemy is. The papacy claims that they are literally Christ on earth. This is blasphemy. When you go to confessional in Catholic Church, a priest will forgive you of your confessed sins. Nobody but God himself has the authority to forgive sin. Nothing else fits what the antichrist is more than the papacy.
It's more likely a religious figure or false church would be The Whore that Rides The Beast, or The False Prophet.
The AntiChrist does not respect any religion, and only uses religion as a pathway to power, and once he achieves it, he destroys The Whore that sits upon The Beast. The only religion allowed is worship of The AntiChrist when he comes, and The False Prophet if he is from some other religion will completely turn his back on that religion and only worship AntiChrist and demand all others worship him too.
The Bible says the antichrist is Nero.. and that Israel is the Whore of Babylon. Why change the meaning to identify with modern day countries or people?
The Bible never actually identifies any individual as antichrist (or a false prophet or the son of perdition). Such descriptors apply not to a person but rather to a people.
Note 2 John 7, for example. "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist."
Deceivers and those who denied Christ's corporeal existence are in the plural. These people were the antichrist, singular.
The nation was corrupt. The temple hierarchy, the purveyors of the Law; these people - not the Romans - were able to deceive the Israelite masses. Israelite leaders deceived the Israelite people. The Israelite rank-and-file would not have heeded Nero or any other pagan because pagans were not part of their community. The living God did not sit in the pagan pantheons.
There is only One AntiChrist at THE END who is looked upon as a Savior, Messiah, Peace Maker who steps in and negotiates the end to hostilities and war with Israel in The Middle East. He has a name, and a number associated with his name, and he will be given power by 10 nations to rule the world, and he will destroy three of those nations, and then destroy all religions and make his own religion.
All will worship him or die. All will accept his name or the number associate with his name in the form of a permanent digital mark, quantum tattoo, or chip implant which will be the only way you will be permitted to buy and sell food or any commodities like gas, or anything like a TV, car.

People who refuse to worship him will be hunted down like dogs, especially any Christians who came to Christ after The Rapture and he will Hate, Murder and Persecute The Jews who once called him a Hero.
