Demonic Destruction

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 13, 2006

In this chapter we see what happens when Satans forces are let loose for a short time - they torment and destroy billions of people - people who are not sealed by Gods mark.

I would argue about that - the creation fell along with man and so we suffer the curse put on it. But I ...read more
