Yes, this massive war against evil has been going on for ages, generations. Look at the LotR references from Tolkein.

Fact is, many Patriots have died long before they will see the end of all this. Many of us will die before we see the storm. And that is okay. Just believe in God, trust the plan, and accept that even if we don't see justice ourselves in our lifetime, good will prevail over evil. It's not a matter of if, just when and we don't know the answer to that question. We will win. Even if it doesn't come before 2024.
