Blind to Blindness

This is the predicament of our world: a competing cacophony of kingdoms and power-mongering, all ruled over by Satan himself, the evil old king whose end goal is death and decay. Humanity is trapped under an oppressive ruler, blind to his control, and blind to its own spiritual blindness. We jockey for power, we bicker and fight, we wage war politically and economically, and we watch with hope for someone who can set us free.
