Mankind is a frightened child, unsure of the future and not knowing where to walk. So, it shouts “Let us make merry. Let us indulge our fantasies.” So, all becomes unreal, detached from any purpose and subject to any whim.
Satan easily enters such an unfortified city; its watchmen sound asleep and its people not alert. Like Samson, the world will awake, chained and weak. Only the Woman can save the City of God.
