From the biblical perspective, the Filipino people, just like the Syrians, the Americans, or the Chinese, are experiencing today a sense of a political climate that is primarily influenced by what the Bible calls as the “powers. . .of this darkness.” (Eph. 6:12 NASB) But how do we know that the forces of this darkness are now in perfect control of the Filipino nation?

He is like God in his estimate of himself. “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks.” (Rom. 1:21)

In their crusade to face life outside of God’s care, Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves for their clothing. “We can do it,” they told themselves. Yes, they learned their first lessons in dressmaking in the backwoods of paradise while hiding away from their Creator.
