The mark is the curse of God. It is a literal expiration stamp. They have passed the deadline of Adam's punishment. They are literally outside of God's Atonement, and have physically given themselves over to Satan. The only way to avoid the process is to literally cut one's head off. It can only happen in the 3.5 year period given to Satan. It is an interruption of the Second Coming. It is not an extension of the harvest, or the time of tribulation. It is not the "second half". It happens because the church failed in bringing about God's healing just before the Second Coming. Instead of the church being prepared, the church came up short, like the foolish virgins.
A few years ago I stopped praying. I feel bad about times I did the wrong thing but after that rebellious moment I feel double minded, a remorse and sorrow but no true metanoia. I made a terrible mistake.
