How has the Devil shown great anger? Just as many desperate
criminals follow the policy of ‘rule or ruin,’ the devil and his demons are
determined to bring the earth and its inhabitants to ruin with them. Knowing
that his time is short, the Devil has been using one of the key elements of
human society under his control-big business-to promote a frenzied spirit of consumerism,
which leads to depletion of natural resources and destruction of the
environment world-wide, thus threatening humanity’s survival.
Since the beginning of human history the Devil’s thirst for
power has also been reflected in politics and religion. The book of Revelation
depicts political powers as wild beasts to whom the Devil has given “great
authority.” It also describes the shameless alliance between politics and
religion as disgusting spiritual adultery. Think of the oppression,
enslavement, wars and ethnic conflicts over the centuries that have resulted in
the loss of millions of lives. Can anyone honestly say that the shocking and
horrifying events that have tainted the pages of human history were the normal
activity of humans? Or were they the result of manipulating by unseen wicked
spirit forces?
The Bible unmistakably identifies and unmasks the one who has
been maneuvering human leaders and world powers. Whether consciously or not,
human society reflects the personality of its ruler and his ‘ruler or ruin’
policy. But for how long will man kind suffer under the Devil’s ruler ship?
THE DEVIL’S LAST GASP
Soon will come the Devil’s last gasp! Under Christ’s loving
ruler ship, righteous humans will turn God’s symbolic footstool, the earth into
a paradise. Violence, hatred, and greed will be gone forever. “The former
things will not be called to mind,”says the Bible. What a relieve it will be
for all who break free from the secret ruler
of this world and his authority!
