“Woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” Rev 12:12b (NRSV). Some things can go on in our world that cannot be accounted for as mere cultural changes. Satan is blinding eyes. He is instigating chaos, division and terror. He loves increasing addictions that add links to his binding chains. He who is hungry for power gives temporal power to those who follow his ways. He who hates the gospel of love in the Messiah’s kingdom promotes hatred.
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Cor 4:4 (NRSV)
