Things could have gone faster, but it comes at a price: moral compromises that result in a society prone to relapse into evil. When you "hold the line" to the very end there is a natural falling away of systems of evil. We probably don't know it, but these last days of waiting are delivering gifts of peace to people who will be born far into the future.
That's a fact. We can always rely on you for your sound perspective.
Bless Up.
