Through Scripture, and Christ Himself, we know that the real power behind human governments are Satanic. Satan knows his fate, he knows the Bible and he knows when the time will get close for Jesus' return.
Governments will "get cracking on this" when the puppeteer directs them to.
“...the real power behind human governments are Satanic.”
In every case? Behind Reagan? Behind the Founders? Behind me-I work for local government?
