Satan has managed to keep the world in constant turmoil since our parent’s first sin in the Garden of Eden. As you may have observed, he has managed to turn the world into a seething cauldron of division, anger, rebellion, murder, and greed.
In “Does God Judge the World Today? Part 1” posted on 3-14-24 we examined just a few of the warnings that God issued to the Israelites before the severe judgment of removing them from their homeland.

“Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, ‘Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.’ So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness.” Revelation 17:1-3a.
“Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’” Revelation 9:13-14.
