This story will turn out that the good guys win. A typical archetypal hero story which is why I am not taking it very seriously. It is however an attractive tomb and has kept me reading to this point. So how else could it end ? written by someone who is, lets say a good guy and somewhat biased. If the bad guys win it would be anti climactic. If the good guys win ... it's IMO that the writer is biased and really has no idea how the REAL world scenario equivalent will end. It's just wishful thinking at best. Even if the good guys eventually win it will be after a lot of suffering and death occurs just like Revelations says it would end. I really never took Revelations seriously or any of the Bible for that matter. Problem with that book is that ALL the best parts were DELETED !!! What was left is sooo watered down it just leaves the reader waffling in the wind with a bunch of riddles wrapped up in a gooey syrup that is sooo sweet. Just like Satan or the Devil to take the scripture and pollute it so that it can't guide anyone anywhere but into HIS hands.
There is a REAL possibility that humanity will FAIL ... because it's certainly looking like that's where it is going due to the pollution of the truth. People are just dumb as hammers and they aren't getting it. Certainly there are those of us that DO get it but we are far and few between. There are far too many that are seriously impaired in judgement. When I was younger, I often thought about how evil deceives, so of course it dawned on me that everything we know OR ARE TOLD, is exactly the opposite of what the actual truth is. So we were told that Satan is bad and GOD is good ... well what IF the GOD we were told is actually the bad guy ? This is the kind of deception I would expect from the master of deceptions. Twist it right around. This is why I cannot believe ANYTHING I read or hear or bla bla bla ... I NEED to SEE it, HEAR it or EXPERIENCE it for myself ! I NEED to see EVIL right in my face and then face it down and say NO !!! And so far that has worked for me ... I have been able to see where common sense has turned out to be the best remedy for evil.
This does NOT fare well for the future of humanity where the lack of common sense has been lost and as far as I can see has been lost forever in the vast proportion of the population.

Which is why the story we have been reading cannot end with a happy ending. Too many have been corrupted and the only way this will end is that those that have been totally lost will be RECYCLED ... meaning they will experience spiritual death. They will CEASE to EXIST. Those that are still VIABLE WILL survive but not sure how they will progress to another level when there is so much discontinuity. The next level is so much of a leap that even the best of us may not be able to make the grade with all the crap around us. I will bet that in this story there will be at least one if not many of the good guys end up betraying the good guys and messing everything up ... AGAIN just like it happened over thousands of years ago ... we had our chance to ascend most likely on many occasions over the last few millenia and we failed every time so far ... which is why we are STILL SLAVES and are still living in this 3D muck. And it feels to me like muck ... I just cannot MOVE !!!
