Martin Luther was confronted with many of the human agents of Satan during his struggle
against the lies, corruption, and tyranny of the Roman Catholic Church. Nevertheless,
Luther realized that the Christian’s greatest adversary was not the Pope, nor the emissaries
of the Roman Church. He saw the diabolical hand behind evil men acting as their puppet
master. In his famous song A Mighty Fortress is Our God, written in the year 1529, Luther
made reference to mankind’s great and ancient enemy.

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

The saints of God are in a similar struggle today. There are many adversaries that threaten
the disciples of Christ. We would err if we saw no further than the governments of men,
including those invisible governments that appoint and control the leaders of nations.

About twenty years ago a friend presented to me a copy of the book The Unseen Hand: An
Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History by Ralph A. Epperson. It is an excellent
book, extensively documented, revealing that there has been a cabal of international elites
who have been orchestrating many world events for centuries. These men have started
wars, overthrown governments, incited insurrections, and collapsed economies, all the
while remaining unseen, hiding behind the visible governments and institutions of the
nations.

Many governments, including that of America, are merely puppets to this secret cabal of
hyper-wealthy bankers and industrialists. The reasons provided to the masses to justify
wars and radical legislation are largely subterfuge and deceit. The citizenry are made to
think that the national interests and security of their nation are under attack when the truth
