How God is going to intervene or work through this current distress seems to be a question and a conclusion that I have drawn, because the scope of the Problem is so large. We, as people, may be described as "a little lower than the angels" but we do like to think that we are created by God and in some way resembling the Creator. Will God abandon his creation ? If the real foe in this case is Satan himself, than we are poorly equipped to oppose such a spiritual adversary, who is described as the Prince of Power of the air, appearing as an Angel of Light, and who was cast down to earth, drawing a third of the angels of heaven with him... Surely it is our task to oppose such an evil, and to continue in the light of our religion as it has been revealed to us.
I do not intend to be lead as a sheep to the slaughter, even if death will still be imposed on all those who resist. Resist we must. It is up to God to do the rest.
Self defence up to and including killing is a Sovereign given right. Resisting evil is a topic of much controversy. Death is not feared by Believers based on the Truth of scriptures that indicate the spiritual existence is real. My friend refuses to kill even in self defence but will kill to protect his family and friends.
