Good comments -- and I hope we get more. I thought I would respond to all of them in a general way. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:4 that "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds." In a sense, we learn we are at war when we learn that Jesus came to save us from sin and death. And this is true. Only now, more seems to be happening on a global scale than most of us thought about at the end of 2019. Things now are becoming exposed and we are being forced to rethink a lot of things we have, up to now, taken for granted.
But here is the good news. We know what to do -- to do what we have been taught to do all along, only don't be so quiet about it.
All around us are people completely freaked about the future. We should not be. We know what is important -- and they need to not only know what we know, but see the peace, love, and joy that are available to them as well. They will have to do what we have had to do and rethink everything.
In essence, that was my testimony I put out on the last podcast a few days ago.
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:38-39
Perfect summation of what is currently happening in the world.
Excellent piece!!! As we try to decide what our role might be in helping to "reverse the process", it is good to remember God is still in control!
Amen!!!
