I reflexed to the spiritual side on this one. The word, "Choice" being the catalyst. What if the end entails a choice is a direct connection with God you've made and live. What if many will be surprised to find they only went through the motions of being connected to God, never made it real by allowing bad to perpetuate around them when they could of stopped it and therefore they will find themselves in the same place as those who are actively bad? By not choosing good and defending it, they are part of the bad, and evil.
Praying for the success of your response and the safety of all those involved in it.
