Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
On February 14, 2018, Nikolas Cruz opened fire on students and staff at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida and the investigators later found out that considerable planning went into the fatal act, before it was carried out. Again, on 9/11 considerable planning, surveillance, and logistics had to have taken place for months and years before, as specific targets of the Twin Towers were singled out by America’s enemies.
Did this take place in a vacuum, or could devils possess a person’s mind, and direct specific attacks, as took place with Job? If so, this will lead us to another important question that must be addressed sooner or later by those in authority, for try as we might, violence is increasing: [2] Can such attacks as took place on Job’s family be attributed to “Mental illness” as some X-Perts in our day often do? Was Bin Laden mentally ill? Or are we dealing with something that’s more ominous within the framework of society?
Interestingly enough, the Bible never says that the Chaldeans and Sabeans were mentally ill, for if they were, we will be hard-pressed to believe that they could carry out such an attack with surgical accuracy as they did. This raises the prospect that the world could now be facing an astronomical rise of demon possession, of which the X-Perts are chalking up to mental illness.
2nd Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
