Your Government Isn’t Run by Who You Think
Why is the world always in crisis?
War after war. Scandal after scandal. Promises of peace and justice, followed by corruption, chaos, and lies. Nations rise and fall, but the suffering never ends.
Most Christians comfort themselves with the idea that God is in charge of the world’s governments. After all, He’s sovereign, right? He certainly is. But here’s the shocking truth your Bible makes plain: Every single government on earth is under Satan’s control.
The Devil’s Claim — and our Savior’s Silence
The clearest proof comes from the wilderness temptation. Satan showed Jesus (or His real name Yahshua) “all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” and declared:
“All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.” (Luke 4:6, NKJV)
Notice what Christ did not say. He didn’t argue. He didn’t correct Satan’s claim. He simply quoted Scripture and refused to bow.
If Satan’s claim was a lie, Christ would have exposed it. Instead, He acknowledged the truth: The kingdoms of this world are Satan’s (because God delivered them to him for a time).
The Bible Confirms It
Scripture leaves no room for doubt:
- “The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19)
- “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
- “The great dragon… who deceives the whole world.” (Revelation 12:9)
Satan is not just an enemy. He is the present ruler of this age. Governments, systems, and even religions fall under his deception.
Why God Allows It
This raises a hard question: Why would God let the devil run the world?
The answer: education. God is allowing humanity 6,000 years to try every form of government—monarchies, democracies, dictatorships, empires—so we can learn the bitter truth: Man cannot rule himself without God.
It’s like letting a rebellious teenager go their own way. Painful lessons are the only way some truths stick. Human history is that lesson written in blood.
The Evidence Around Us
You don’t have to look far to see Satan’s fingerprints:
- Governments that promise justice but deliver oppression.
- Leaders who rise with charisma, only to fall in scandal.
- Systems that legalize sin while punishing righteousness.
- A world where even “Christian nations” go to war, exploit the poor, and deceive their citizens.
It’s counterfeit through and through. Like fake money, it looks real until you hold it up to the light of Scripture.
As Herbert W. Armstrong wrote, Satan doesn’t appear with horns and a pitchfork. He counterfeits the truth—religion, morality, politics—so thoroughly that the world doesn’t even realize it’s in captivity.
The Coming Eviction Notice
But Satan’s rule won’t last forever. Revelation 20 describes the moment when Christ returns and the devil is chained for 1,000 years. The squatter will be evicted. The deceiver will be silenced.
Then Daniel 2:44 will be fulfilled:
“In the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed… it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”
No more broken promises. No more corrupt governments. Christ’s Kingdom will finally bring the peace mankind has longed for but never achieved.
Your Response Now
So what should this truth mean for you?
- Stop trusting human politics. Every election, every party, every system is Satan’s game. Don’t be deceived.
- Start preparing for God’s government. Align your life with His laws now—repent, obey, and let Him rule your heart.
- Open your Bible. Don’t take my word for it. Prove it. Read the passages. Ask God to show you the truth.
This isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s about hope. The corruption you see in every capital city is temporary. A perfect world is coming soon—under the rule of Jesus Christ (Yahshua Messiah).
And you are being called to prepare for it.
