We have God.
Thing is, we will appear to be losing before we win it all. Nothing is surprising me. God will not be mocked.
At some point, aren’t we expected to fight back?
Exactly. We are losing battles here on earth, but we (rather God) wins the war for all eternity. I know what side i’d rather be on. And God told us to expect this, and to be prepared for it. American Christians don’t know anything about real persecution.
