Chapter 7: Armageddon’s Architects
With truth flooding the airwaves, their mission approached a climax. Sifting floodgates of intel pouring in from awakened citizens, the team built clear cases against puppeteers stringing societal disruption on a global level. Rachel sourced dossiers tying secretive businessmen to investment funds funneling wealth towards corruption while Daniel hacked classified files on compromising blackmail operations maintained by intelligence factions.
Further investigation revealed the true face behind the scenes—an ancient order tracing to Babylon exercising control through the inculcation of Luciferian philosophies within legitimate institutions over generations. Key figures emerged, subtle rulers of industry and governance held in thrall to dark rituals aiding depraved pursuits of power.
One autumn evening Caleb addressed his chapel, announcing a momentous revelation - within weeks, accusations would be leveled directly at order leadership through all civic channels. Praying fervently for protection, he cautioned danger followed success against such forces yet assured ultimate victory rested with Our Lord who declared, "I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

Inspired verses echoed through the hushed chapel—of love prevailing where hatred reigned and hope emerging triumphant from humanity's deepest night. As dawn broke, parishioners emerged rededicated to supporting the righteous cause ahead, whatever trials must be faced before justice could blossom from deception's ashes. For the battle belonged unto the Lord, and ultimate victory was surely His if servants stood fast through every tribulation.
So the new year dawned with shadows gathering, yet the team faced whatever may come with faith in Christ - whose light of truth would expose wickedness hiding even within greatest of powers, and redeem all who turned their eyes upon the hope of salvation. Whatever darkness remained, His light would rout it in time...
