My own take on that issue is . . .
That when God determines [and I’m not interested in getting into the Biblical tension between Predestination and Free-will]
that a given individual in these End Times has determined at a terminal heart level to choose anyone and anything decisively and finally OTHER THAN GOD HIMSELF,
that
THAT CHOICE may well be their last functional significant choice in a list of ways for a list of reasons.
One of those ways and reasons may be the demonized control and/or demonized control through technologies a la the globalist oligarchy.
I do not believe that God will allow a Blood bought believer in Jesus The Christ to have their free-will totally compromised.
However, we are called to renew our minds; wear the helmet of Salvation and the rest of the whole armor of God etc.
I don’t think it would be wise to lay down on the job and be lazy about such things.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

They can’t “fall away” unless they were there first.
