# 1 > Right now, headline articles are coming out in the mainstream magazine and newspapers regarding enormous wildfires breaking out across the western United States, about millions of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East trying to somehow get into Europe and Britain, about President candidate Donald Trump's plan to deport about eleven million undocumented immigrants from the U.S. about the huge financial crisis sweeping across Asia, Europe and America. The mainstream media also tells us about the tremendous distortion of family values now going on across America and Western Europe, about the idea of "men marrying men," about the thoughts of many liberals now who even consider "sex" with robots! They also discuss the increasing mental illness and depression among our youth, about rising rates of suicide among homosexuals and others who have strayed from the traditional values of the past. They can tell you about what is happening, but they do not understand the meaning of these events. They cannot__or are not willing__to actually connect the dots.
# 2 Can you genuinely "connect the dots"? Will you try__or are you willing to try__to genuinely understand why we are here on this earth, what is the genuine way of life intended by our Creator, and how to achieve genuine happiness and fulfillment? Are you, personally, willing to admit to yourself that there is a genuine "spirit world"? That many of these incidents of violent and senseless crime__in which mentally disturbed or angry individuals murder or torture others__may in fact be inspired by demons spirits guided by Satan the Devil? Are you willing to admit that there is a real devil__as Jesus Christ Himself described many times? Are you willing to acknowledge that the book we call the Bible is, in fact, the very inspired Word of God and that it will give you genuine understanding of all these events that are going on around you? For the Bible itself makes clear the reality of Satan the Devil and his demons. It tells us about Satan deceiving people all over the world whom, "the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" ( 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 ).
3 - Satan the Devil has indeed "blinded" millions of confused human beings! God's Word makes this very plain, as the Apostle John was inspired to write: "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" ( REVELATION 12:9 ). Within the next several years, a genuine "spirit war" will break out, after which Satan will finally be cast down into a bottomless pit. God's Word describes how one of His mighty angels "laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished" ( REVELATION 20:2__3 ). My friend,only them will the massive deception that has overtaken the world be lift. Only then will people begin to grasp the fact that thisworld's society has actually been "cut off" from the Creator and His righteous and blessed way of life.
