Power of darkness


Knowledge of God’s Wisdom

Job 12:24-25 New English Translation (NET Bible)

24 He deprives the leaders of the earth
of their understanding;
he makes them wander
in a trackless desert waste.
25 They grope about in darkness without light;
he makes them stagger like drunkards.

 

 

"The prince of this world"

 

Do the leaders of this world ... listen to your directions

as through lies and fears, you placed them under your protection?

 

You showered them from below ... to grow the fruit of your making

with love for power, greed, and sin ... all that through your faking.

 

You have them well in hand ... as you form, mold and take them.

Are they wiser than the sons of God as in your world you rule them?

 

In the film, “church” and government ... in music and the arts

demons dwell with great pomp into admiration of man’s hearts.

 

Their influence they use real sly wasting little or no time

to undermine what God does good and His law divine.

 

The demons on the Courts Supreme set into law man’s devotion

to comfort, sin and selfishness and so to fulfill every emotion.
