While it is true that badness has been around for a long time, there is a greater need for deliverance by God’s Kingdom now than at any other time.
فَٱلْأَوْضَاعُ ٱلَّتِي شَهِدَتْهَا ٱلسَّنَوَاتُ ٱلْمِئَةُ ٱلْمَاضِيَةُ أَسْوَأُ مِمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأَحْوَالُ قَبْلًا ،‏ وَهِيَ تَسْتَمِرُّ فِي ٱلتَّرَدِّي .‏
