God has been "preparing" certain individuals to become pillars of hope and encouragement in these days.
He is causing these individuals to have light, and people are being drawn to that light (but may not know why). He is gathering many to them, and in times of darkness they will be as beacons of hope and strength and peace in His name. They are representing His light and become encouragement to others because of who they are and what they stand for. They are being used of God to help others to stand and not give up.
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
