When there is any genuine move of God, even the non-Believers are aware that something is going on. Revelation tells us here about all kinds of merchants and wealthy business people who were stunned by what God was doing in Babylon. It is exactly the same today. The possibility of the scene being repeated. As True Believers we need to follow and live for Jesus Christ.
