We are in a battle against Spiritual Wickedness using worldly powers: Government, Financial Systems, Politics, Communications, Religion. God is judging the world’s systems but has set apart a place of refuge for the people of God.
Herod murders babies in Jerusalem, Pharoah orders the murder of all the male Hebrew children in Egypt. When God is about to send deliverers, Satan motivates worldly powers to destroy that generation. We are living in a time such as this when the shedding of innocent blood is considered a good thing, and corrupt rulers and perverted courts oppress the people. How should we respond? Praise God (Anyhow).
