"Do not, I beseech you, be troubled about the increase of forces already in dissolution. You have mistaken the hour of the night; it is already morning.” — Hilaire Belloc
The darkness is not growing, it is gathering. It is being herded together and led to the slaughterhouse. Days include a period of both dark and light, but they are defined by the day. A night is simply put, just another part of the day. It is said to be darkest before the dawn, but by that time the night is nearly defeated. Though it appear to be making a final conquest of the light, it is merely exhausting its last breath before it expires.
1 Corinthians 15:25-26
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Every darkness will be rooted out. It may be darkest in the corners, but that is merely a symptom of its defeat. It is huddled and cornered and outgunned and coming to an end until only death will be left. And even then, it will go down. Death will die and darkness will be snuffed out by everlasting light.
