An Unseen Evil Influence

We have seen that the world was predicted to be a dangerous place at the time of the end. Man's actions have brought us to the brink of extinction. But why do we think and act in such self-destructive ways? Is another factor—one that few recognize—at work influencing human behavior?

What is the major source of the widespread spiritual blindness that prevents people from understanding God's truth?

"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds 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 4:3-4).

There is a reason that few people understand and accept God's truth: Satan the devil. This powerful, unseen spirit being is a master of lies and deception. As the mastermind behind the religious deception that envelops the world, he has blinded humanity to God's truth. All of us have fallen prey to his lies to some extent.

The United Church of God offers this Bible Study Course, The Good News magazine and other literature to help you understand the truth of what the Bible really says—regardless of what some say it says.
