I think it’s those demonic spirits that influence this man made army, including Russia, to act. I do agree about the flood-pretty much completely.
That conspiracy has existed for a very long time.
I don't believe the Nations or "people groups" being
guided by these "principalities and powers" are aware of it.
I do think that in the end times these "twice dead,"
"children of disobedience" do play a part, just not as
big a part as perhaps others might believe.
I mainly try to stick with what the word of
God plainly says, and try not to read too much
more into it..
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I also notice in the Scriptures that God does allow
literal evil entities to wreak havoc upon mankind, from time
to time. Remember Job?
And a second witness to this concept is:
Psalm 78:49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath,
and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
I just believe that in the last days, literal demonic
entities, will be unleashed, and unleashed on a level never
before conceived of.
