This nation is in turmoil as it deals with the President's problems. The international economic picture looks grim. The US military has been weakened to the point that its capability to deal with the threat of terrorism is questionable. Of course, many are predicting severe consequences because of the Y2K problem. This is a time which requires much discernment.
People become most vulnerable in such a climate of uncertainty and threats.
Being overwhelmed with numerous problems, people are susceptible to a bold move by Satan. We must be discerning, especially as we consider the presidential election of the year 2000. In the book of Revelation, John describes the Serpent who gives its authority to the Beast which dominates the whole world. Satan is gaining control of mankind through this mechanism. The conspiracy is very subtle.
