I'm pretty sure people said the same thing when Alexander the Great tore across the Mediterranean. Same with the Romans. Same with the fall of the Western Empire, the conquests of the Huns, the Crusades, the splintering of the HRE, two World Wars, the Cold War, the rise of Islamic terrorism, etc.

We are in a season of conquering and while certain things may seem dark right now, the time is now for us to stop being the weak men creating hard times and become the strong men who create good times.
