I wanted Trump to be a specter from the book's outset.

Yet events that seem to turn our lives upside down and inside out are part of God's redemptive plan, not only for us, but for the world in which we live. God may be preparing a great awakening for the world, if God can find enough people to cooperate in this mysterious plan.

But at best it looks as if our people were awakening.
