REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Two - Darkness and Gnawing Pain - Conclusion

As world ruler, Satan has caused much unhappiness and suffering. Famine, wars, violence, crime, drug abuse, immorality, sexually transmitted diseases, dishonesty, religious hypocrisy-these and more are at the hallmarks of Satan's system of things.  (Compare Galatians 5:19-21) Even so, the public exposure of Satan as the god of this system of things caused pain and embarrassment to those who live by his standards. "They began to gnaw their tongues  for their pain," especially in Christendom.  Many resent that the truth exposes their life-style.  Some find it threatening, and they persecute those who publish it.  They reject God's Kingdom and they revile Jehovah's holy name.  Their religously diseased, ulcerous condition is laid bare, so that they blaspheme the God of heaven.  No, they do "not repent of their works." So we cannot expect a mass conversion before the end of this system of things. -ISAIAH 32:6.
