HOUSES OF CORRUPTION

      But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
      In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 3, 4)

   Satan is the god of this world and the lord over its many systems; therefore, Satan is the god that is over the governments of this world as well as the god that is over the religions of the world.
   If this were not true, why have the governments of this world been filled with corruption ever since the day when governments were invented?  And why have the religions of this world been filled with corruption ever since the day religions were invented? 
   If there has ever been an uncorrupted government in human history, name one?
   If there has ever been an uncorrupted religion in human history, name one?
   Governments and religions are houses of corruption, and Satan is the god that is the lord over these two institutions, and he always has been, just as he always will be.
   Governments and religions were against Christ in Jerusalem, and the evidence is when King Herod attempted to assassinate Jesus when the Lord was merely a toddler of two years of age; and when Christ was a young man of thirty-three years, governments and religions captured Him and crucified Him in Jerusalem.
   After that, governments and religions made war with the believers of Christ and murdered millions of innocent people for hundreds of years, all across the Roman Empire. 
   Even today, where do you see the love of God demonstrated throughout the houses of governments and the houses of religions?  Nowhere!
   Neither do we see the leaders of governments, nor the leaders of religions, standing up for God, nor speaking a word for Christ because governments speak for governments and religions speak for religions.
   Satan is, therefore, the god of this world, and the devil has blinded people from the truth of Christ by the power of Satan's deception. 
   Even now, it is difficult to see any evidence of Christ in this world other than during the seasons of Christmas and Easter, which, even then, is no more than a sprinkling; for after those seasons of good cheer and merriment, the world is back to its normal business as usual, and Christ becomes a forgotten topic.
   Therefore, corruption in governments and religions continue to run as an unbridled horse runs wild in the wind, or as a train that is out of control because it has no conductor. 
   It would be wonderful to think that the world is going to become a better place to live, a world that is full of love and peace, but it will not. 
   Governments and religions are houses of corruption because they are houses of wicked people.
      There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.  (Isaiah 48: 22)
