When you know it and you understand it, that is your shield of faith in the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit.

These are all basically telling you, you know, when we boil it down, if you want to survive this chaos and actually understand what's going on around us.

you've got to live like a Christian.

You've got to look at everything through an Ephesians 6 lens, not through a secular lens, not through a relativistic lens, whatever you want to believe, whatever you want to feel and do.

You have to take everything and compare it to what Scripture tells us is true.

And so it's interesting because

All of these systems, right, they're all being dominated.

If God is not at the center of them, they're being dominated by these principalities and these powers and these rulers.

And so, you know, I got to tell you, Glenn, I have read this a million times, and it wasn't until the last couple of years and working on these documentaries that I paused and really thought, well, what does this actually mean?

And how do we navigate it?

And, you know, one thing that's interesting, going back to that Daniel 10, this Prince of Persia.

And again, you know, there's also a Prince of Greece that's mentioned there.

And when you look historically, you know, Persia was obviously an issue for the Israeli people at that point, the Hebrew people, but Greece was soon going to become one.

And that Prince of Greece is mentioned in there, which is super interesting historically when you look at it.

But

This Prince of Persia that was going on back then, this force that was in control and holding back those prayers, you wonder if that Prince of Persia is still in effect today in Iran, right?

Because Iran is modern-day Persia.

And so, again, we have to be careful making too many, you know, claims here.

But what we can say is that we do know from Scripture that there seem to be principalities in control of geographic areas and also powers in control of some of the institutions that we're wringing our hands over.

No.
