And then there is Yeshua. Only He decides how long "the game" goes. The "Kings" are His Pawns. He moves them at will and they actually believe they are in control. (Don't ever forget that)

Psalm 2
2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
