God's kingdom is not of this world, as Jesus Christ made clear in John.18:36. Who is the god of this age? He is none other than Satan, he is the worlds ruler. Jesus said (in John 12:31) "the ruler of this world will be cast out". Under Satan's influences the carnal mind is enmity against God. Separated from God, we tend to choose to go our own way, with devastating and tragic results.
Satan's influences is so great that he "deceives the whole world". The entire world lies under the sway of the wicked one. Under Satan influences man has rejected God's revelation and with his vain thinking has started worshiping that which is from his own imagination.He has built societies, civilizations, and even religion on the wrong foundation. God's kingdom is one built on the foundation of Love, but man has chosen to build his on a monetary, success driven foundation."For the love of money is the root of all evil", yet man in his limited canal thinking has built everything around the haves and the have not's. We no longer love our neighbor as we love ourselves ,cause we are in competition with our neighbor. So there is no sharing, or watching out one for another , we no longer have that "if i got it you got it" attitude. It is more like I got mind better get your own mentality. We have mega churches worth millions of dollar and many of their members can't even pay there bills.
We must be careful not to be blinded from the light by the tricks and wiles of the devil. Satan's world which is built on a foundation of lies and deception will come crashing down. The light of God's truth will conquer the deception of Satan darkness and expose all that are hiding under the cover of said darkness. Let us who profess to be children of the light, walk in the light, that others might no longer be blinded to the light.
