I always told my children as they grew up that just as they watched the movies full of good guys and bad guys, and good vs. evil, so is the Kingdom of God that we are living in and cannot see, yet the reality goes so far beyond what we could ever imagine from any film or book. Waking up to the realizatIon that we are actually LIVING the story is another thing altogether, and as you said, God has allowed this time in the world to wake us up from our slumber...but how many of us are awake now and wishing only that we could go back to sleep? Good and evil are at war, and so the flesh and the Spirit. But Jesus Christ is faithful...He promised He would not lose a single one in His hand that the Father has given Him.
