Our world has never changed so dramatically so rapidly. Leaders in politics, business, education and media are ignoring the law, violating freedoms, and enforcing radical policies on unwilling people. They are turning coronavirus, the environment, race and other issues into weapons for forcing through their agenda. This is already affecting all of us—but believe it or not, much worse is coming.

In this process, the true agenda of the radical elites is being unmasked. This is not incompetence. This is not a good-faith attempt to improve people’s lives. This is an intentional agenda from an evil motive to deliberately destroy what little good is left in our societies. Many of our leaders hate the principles that many of us cherish: free and fair elections; rule of law; honoring law enforcement; schools respecting parents and protecting the innocence of children; harmony among races; marriage and family; individual liberty; human dignity; freedom of thought, speech and religion.

You need to recognize the unseen reason why this is happening.

Our societies are steeped in evolution and deny the existence of anything beyond matter and energy. But there is clearly more to the human mind and to the existence of good and evil. As you may have noticed, even some mainstream voices in the news are beginning to recognize this.

The spirit world is real. God is real. And so is the devil! Those who remain ignorant of this reality are vulnerable to his attacks (e.g. 2 Corinthians 2:11; 10:3-5; 1 Peter 5:8). Not only is the devil real, but he rules the attitudes of the whole world! In fact, in this end time he and his demons have been cast down and are confined to the Earth! (2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9-12).

These evil spirits are exerting terrible and growing influence today, and much of this is by manipulating our human leaders. You can recognize the devil’s presence in the breezy deceit and brazen lies. You see it in the way the elites are trampling people’s freedoms and rights, yet remain utterly untroubled by the catastrophic effects of their edicts.

Yet the devil is a master at presenting himself and his ideas and policies as good and noble, while rejecting law and bending people to his will. We cannot judge by the words of these leaders—we must judge by the fruits of what they are doing. Then the truth becomes inescapably clear. (Request your free copy of America Under Attack.) The fruits are terrible, but these elites refuse to admit it. They continue pushing their disastrous ideas that much harder—just like the devil himself does. Their arrogance makes them extremely vulnerable to the devil’s influence.

Now, it is one thing to recognize what is happening. But you must then ask some important questions, which almost nobody is doing.

Here is the most important question: Why would God allow this? God has power over Satan; the devil can do nothing God doesn’t allow. Why is God giving him such free rein?

These problems have a cause: our own sins!

America, Britain, the other nations of Israel and the whole world are experiencing curses for disbelieving and disobeying God! We have denied God’s authority over us. We have rejected God, His law, even His very existence! And He has allowed us to experience the results of our choices.

And because we have left Him no other way to get through to us, He has punished us to get our attention and, ultimately, to save us from squandering our lives in selfishness, suffering and rejecting our own eternal future. He is trying to help us recognize our error and turn back to Him (Ezekiel 33:11).

The revolutionary changes we are living through are bewildering only if you fail to see God in the picture. But when you know the prophecies of the Bible, you recognize that in spite of our sins, God is still accomplishing His master plan! (Request The United States and Britain in Prophecy, by Herbert W. Armstrong.)

The elites are destroying our societies so they can trigger a “great reset” and “build back better.” But they want to rebuild to some kind of perverse socialist or Communist utopia. They are woefully misguided. While they hypocritically enjoy freedoms and powers they deny to everyone else, they oppress and tyrannize. They act as if they can build a better world as they plunge the world into nuclear World War iii!

Jesus Christ Himself prophesied that, just as we and our governments erupt in destroying the entire human race, He will return to put down human rebellion by force, abolish all human governments, and set up a literal government that will rule all of mankind: the Kingdom of God. That is our greatest and only hope!

Recognize the glaring lesson of our time. Human beings, including yourself, do not and cannot know the difference between good and evil. We cannot resist the devil by ourselves. Like little children, we desperately need to humble ourselves, repent, submit, and trust and obey our Father! Most people would rather be like the “god of this world,” reject God’s law, judge for themselves what is right and wrong, and hold on to the devil’s self-is-right attitude to the bitter end. But you can be part of the truly revolutionary solution to human government and human nature. And you can live your life now, no matter what happens, with blazing, brilliant hope!
