“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” https://www.kingjamesbible...
Those ruling aren't 'for us'
God's Word makes it clear: "... the whole world lieth in wickedness.” https://www.kingjamesbible...
We have to obey as much as: “Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?”
"...but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
That's the deal today, we've been beguiled, just like Eve.
