Jackalope, we are seeing evil rise not unlike cream rises to the cows morning milk yet again.
Throughout the worlds history evil rises to a crusado and then good reappears and it is taken down. This is probably satan's continuing challenge to Gods rule. We certainly are in that period yet again.
Rejoice if you are a historian of sorts as you are reliving past battles between good and evil. If you are not a historian, then you get to just live during this battle.
Bottom-line, none of us come out of the play of good and evil unscathed.
