But how can they be aware when they are spiritually deluded, believing in idols of money, power and the ability to destroy others?
Maybe they are aware but I am not sure. Blindness is over them in my opinion. If guilt seeps through, it surely has not overteaken them or they would repent.
It is not your usually gifted sleight of hand humor, so no. And yes, they suffered unmercifully. We all know tribulation can be unto death—but, in this war, we are all to whatever degree we are willing——engaged in this spiritual war. All hands on deck, clean and pure hearts, harkening to the voice of Holy Spirit—ready and ready to jump the gun, so to speak——and to either thresh some tares or harvest some fruit, or——BOTH. My Bible says HE will crush the heads of my/our enemies under OUR feet. But, we have to war in the meantime one way or the other.

It's obvious how terrified they are, they are all like cornered rats fighting to maintain their power!
So lets be frank, the panic in these folks is based on the internalized awareness that they
themselves rate these extreme measures, because of the America-hostile agenda they
themselves have aided and abetted in their various capacities.
Everyday that morning look in the mirror is at a self-indictment they avert their eyes from.

Think of the shipwreck survivor afloat on the ocean, languishing with thirst.
Believing that seawater being water, will quench their thirst; it tempts them.
But saltwater being salty, only worsens the situation if consumed.
They may repent, but not avoid the changing effects of their actions.
By cowardice..., in for a penny, in for a pounding, to murder a truism.
Even if everyone else forgave their injuries, could they themselves forget,
or instead in sincerity live with the guilt burden? Like Lucifer the evening star,
they cannot undo what has been done. For the indignant spirit, there is no going back.
So if they get humble, there is a chance. What are the odds?
All things are possible through Christ, who strengthens each, and can move a mountain for someone of He has to.
That is true, but even saintly though the Apostles were, many suffered horrible ends on this Earth nonetheless.
Their actions had secular consequences, that they could righteously accept.
Shall the useful idiot snowflakes do the same, or be dismayed?
To paraphrase John, "The Righteous are not of this World".
And you know who the Lord of the Earth is.
Boy, I'll bet you did not expect such solemnity from me!
