Comment: Satan the devil is the invisible wicked force that presides over worldly affairs using politics, religion and commerce. One major problem noticeable among some people is that they mix their Christian beliefs with astrology, witchcraft, idolatry, occultism, membership of secret societies and so on, contrary to the Bible. Movies and literatures that glamourize witchcraft and institutions that make membership of secret societies a condition for appointments and promotions cannot but drag the people backwards. – Isaiah 47:12-15.
Concerning Nineveh the capital of Assyria which sold herself to worship of the devil, God declared: “Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.” (Nahum 3:4, 5) Countries which refuse to embrace the truth as preached by Jesus Christ and taught by his anointed servants but prefer to follow falsehood in the name of Christianity; yes, all those who give themselves to the devil will not enjoy the peace and progress that come only from God Almighty. We should pray for the freedom and peace that comes from Christ. – See Jeremiah 16:5; John 16:33; 14:27.
