Nice analogy. I believe there is a still small voice that they hear, but once the rapture happens they will have to make the decision or believe the lie.
The Lord our God can even use evil for His own purposes. In this case evil will either frighten them so badly that they’ll fall to their knees begging for forgiveness, or it will not because they are irredeemably corrupt and evil. In other words, addicted to long-term patterns of evil thinking and evil behaviors.
