By the way, this description of patriots in control can reasonably be extended theologically to the view that "God is in control".
God is in control does not mean God determines all things and all events. Rather, it means that the victory over the enemy is underway, a process in progress, wherein the Creator has the upper hand. The Enemy, however, can still cause damage and attack and even cause delays, but ultimately, the Enemy's defeat is pre-determined.
That's exactly correct, God works through the People and Evil will be in this world until God say's it's finished, so until then we will fight the good fight.
