Fren, I totally feel this. I am you. There's only 1 plan - that of Christ; there is only 1 victory - that foretold in Revelation. (Rv 19:11-21) You are spot on about "here it comes" and then suddenly "of course it couldn't be this because #normies." Meanwhile carnage everywhere. Your gut is telling you what should be evident to everyone: We are not winning, people are suffering, there is no sweeping understanding transforming people, and they are can still walk down the streets.

These people are not stupid: they are handing us our ass. But all hope rests in God, and the victory is (and always was) His. Be thankful for that.
