The Deception of the Kingdom of Darkness

Our wrestling match is not against persons with bodies, against the world dominators of the present darkness, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavens, or in the heavenly places. So, there are vast armies—you know, the word “host” is Old English for army—vast armies of satanic beings, persons without bodies, arranged in battle order against us.

And because his kingdom is a kingdom of darkness, the people who are in that kingdom, for the most part, don’t know what they’re in. See, the kingdom of God is a kingdom of light. If we’re in the kingdom of God, we know where we are, somewhat.

But most of the people who are in Satan’s kingdom don’t know where they are because it’s a kingdom of darkness; they can’t see.
