Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. -- I Peter 5:8, my emphasis
Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear Is a wicked ruler
over a poor people. -- Proverbs 28:15
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion
tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure
and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her...Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain. Her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken. -- Ezekiel 22:25, 27-28
Revelation tells us satan will work his purposes in the end-times through an evil ruler supported by evil religious leaders: scripture's "roaring lions" colluding in their father's work.
These may or may not be the end-times. But we know satan is working today, and should probably expect he's working the same way now that he has throughout history, and will in the end-times.
Plans for the inauguration a few days hence are that, when Donald Trump becomes our ruler, a set of his hand-picked "faith leaders" will be there to bless his presidency.
So be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Let those who have ears to hear, hear.
