Sixty years ago, in 1964, Paul Harvey, did a skit called, “If I Were the Devil”, listing all the things he would do if he were Satan and had control of the world. If you’re unfamiliar with it, you can read it here along with my comments written 2 years ago.
If I Were the Devil — 2024
I would convince the world that there are more than 2 genders.
I’d convince everyone that it’s OK to date, marry, and raise children with someone of the same sex.
Using the available technology, I’d mesmerize people into doing whatever I wanted them to do.
I’d call everything that’s good bad and everything that’s bad good.
For people who profess to be “Christian”, I’d encourage them to leave their faith and say they are “nones” — with no religion.
I’d make “Imagine” by John Lennon the most played song during special events replacing national anthems.
Deception would increase all over the world.
If I were the devil, my doctrines would be taught in schools and churches as ways to live.
The 10 Commandments and anything Christian would be banned from all government buildings.
There would be no more freedom of speech or freedom of religion anywhere.
Christians and conservative voices would be canceled, shadowbanned, and suspended all over social media and the Internet.
I’d get computer hackers to infiltrate computers all over the world with ransomware, viruses, and other cybercrime.
In the U.S., I would leave the borders open so that anyone who wants to harm U.S. citizens could freely enter and wreak havoc. The same applies to all European countries. In addition, I’d open a flow of fentanyl and other drugs so vast that anyone could get them anywhere and live in a stupor or die of overdoses.
I’d make sure that a statue depicting me would be placed next to every Christmas tree and menorah display for the December holidays.
Me and my demons would make the New Age religion so cool and fun — like a buffet — that everyone would want to take it up. They can pick and choose what they like from all the World Religions who worship me and my demons. The practice of Voodoo and other pagan cults will spread all over the world.
I would reverse the concept of “innocent until proven guilty”, jail, and indict people before there is proof that they committed a crime. All this to get certain people out of the way without killing them.
I’d also empower elementary and secondary school teachers to encourage children that they can easily switch genders if they are not happy with the way God made them. Furthermore, they can mutilate their bodies and take life-altering drugs without notifying their parents.
I’d empower Muslim terrorists extremists with demonic hatred, as well as the leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea to attack peaceful, sovereign nations, and, attack ordinary, innocent civilians just because they can. Also, they will enjoy every minute of killing, raping, burning, and dismembering, men, women, children, babies, and the elderly.
Everyone can make up their own “truth”. Everyone is right. There is no more wrong.
There would be no more “fair elections” in any country. Marxism and Communism will rule the world until it’s time for my man, the Beast, to rule globally.
I would find rich people from all over the world to invest in politicians, and lobbyists, including buying advertising and cheating to influence election results.
I’d encourage everyone to hate Israel and all Jewish people — even cause secular, “reformed” Jews to turn against Israel.
Many books, movies, and websites would be published that present lies as truths.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) would make it easy to create deep fakes so videos and voices look and sound like someone when it’s all not real.
I’d legalize all drug use.
I’d make pastimes like drinking, gambling, watching pornography, having sex, and using drugs, so much fun that people easily get addicted.
Then, use the Internet and apps on cell phones, making it super easy to indulge in those pastimes.
I’d maneuver the algorithm of the most popular social media network to memorize, indoctrinate, and influence youth — especially in the U.S. — to get as far away from God as possible. Which includes worshiping me.
I’d create the thought and speech police, as well as misinformation and disinformation enforcers, to cancel and block anyone who shares anything from the Bible, anything conservative, and any truth.
If I were Satan, I’d make worshiping me the coolest thing in the world. I’d empower elementary and secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities to have Satanic clubs and encourage participation.
I would make people put their trust in themselves, their governments, their friends, politicians, other people, and worldly things that will eventually let them down.
I would distract them so much that they never read the Bible, go to church, pray, or worship.
Lastly, I would make many religions where people think that they need to do rites, rituals, and works to get to heaven, when all the while, they’ll be joining me in hell.
It’s YOUR Choice!
Everyone dies at some point. You have a choice on where you spend eternity —
Heaven or Hell.
Peter wrote…
8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT
Obviously, the increase in evil around the world is a sign that we are living in the last days.
Paul wrote…
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:10-12 NLT
Jesus said…
9 Yes, I am THE gate. Those who come in THROUGH me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. 10 The thief’s (devil’s) purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.
John 10:9-11 NLT (emphasis mine)
However, Jesus wins in the end!
10 Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelation 20:10
Choose…
- Light over darkness
- Life over death
- Love over hate
- Joy over sadness
- Hope over anxiety
- Peace over chaos
- Jesus over Satan
- Salvation over perishing
If you’re not sure if you’re saved or not, if you truly want to be born again and have the assurance of salvation, receive the Holy Spirit, feel His Shalom — a peace that surpasses all understanding, and get a 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven after you die, or that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture, which can happen at any moment, this is what you have to do…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
- Believe — have Faith — that Jesus is the Christ and He died taking your sins away forever and that He rose from the dead 3 days later.
- Repent of your sins — stop sinning! Do a complete 180-degree turn in your life and surrender your life to Him. When you ask Jesus to forgive you He will. ALL your sins will be wiped clean — past, present, and future! And All means ALL!
- Be Baptized by water baptism — show the world and yourself that you have died to your old life and are born again in Christ.
- Receive the gift of Holy Spirit in your heart.
