How cleverly has the enemy gathered his troops. They march confidently to victory seeing that the Woman’s efforts have brought forth little fruit. Her army is small, disorganized and has no leader. Her children do not realize what is happening. When the events begin, they will not see or know how to respond, caught unawares and suffering losses. Defeat will seem inevitable (satan’s strategy) and despair will fill their hearts.
In this darkness, they will cry out for light. In this moment of desperation, the Church’s heart will open and the Woman will take her place.
