One of the great disasters consequent upon the general unawareness or denial of the current state of global spiritual war; is that when evil wins, it keeps-on winning.
Evil is insatiable.
In a physical war, there can be a peace treaty. The side who have lost can surrender and limit their losses.
After defeat things nearly-always get worse - but often only up to a point; after which a steady state may arise - or things may even start to get better.
History even provides several examples when the losing side ended-up better off than the winners.
But this does not apply to a spiritual war. When a person, a nation or the world has been defeated by the powers of evil; as happened after the global totalitarian coup of early 2020 - things can only get worse until the situation is recognized, evil repented, the side of God and divine creation is embraced; and the defeat by evil rolled-back.
Because evil feeds upon evil.
Consider dishonesty - a topical subject. Lies, unrepented, always lead to further and bigger lies without end - until all of discourse is untruthful; and gets ever-more untruthful by intent and effect.
When it comes to evil, there is no negative feedback: no pendulum swing back towards Good.
When a person, nation or the world surrenders to evil - by doing what evil wants; it is making a deal with the devil.
And compliance with the devil does not lead to a quiet life...
Surrender to evil is just the beginning of more-and-more, worse-and-worse problems.
