Why do some hate more than others? (E)Terry Dashner…..Faith Fellowship Church, PO Box 1586, Broken Arrow, OK…918-451-0270
Why do some people hate more than others? I’ve researched
experts, and answers are varied. People, kindred, tribes, and nations hate because, according to experts, there is too much poverty and too much social exclusion and too much political exploitation and too much sin. And based upon my educational background, my studies and research, my Biblical beliefs, and my years of living experiences, I concur also. I have no reasonable objections to their reasons why. There is, however, one thing experts have overlooked. I want to share with you one important reason why some people groups hate more than other groups of people.
Hate can be accentuated and aggravated by a force or entity that is beyond physical grasp of man. The force I’m referring to is not physical but metaphysical. It’s an entity of minions under command of Satan himself. In Bible Apostle Paul refers to these demons as “principalities” “powers” “rulers of darkness” and “spiritual wickedness” ruling over atmosphere. The Greek imagery that Paul alludes to is an echelon of military command. In other words, Satan rules over an atmospheric command of demonic powers, which appear to be assigned in rank and file to various and certain regions of earth.
There are many passages in Bible that hint at this satanic command structure. One of most familiar texts is Daniel 10: 12-13 “Then he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your god, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. (13) But prince of kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days…’” (NASB)
One reason Jesus allowed demons who were cast out of people by His hand to avoid consignment to pits of hell where they are destined to go at end of time is because they are free to roam specific areas on earth until their final judgment. (In one instance some demons requested to enter a heard of swine instead of being forced out of their specific region. Jesus allowed this, which seems to support argument that demons may roam and rule over certain regions, territories or even nations until end of age and their final judgment.)
If demonic powers are real and rule by order of a hierarchy over various regions of earth (even assigned to certain nations), it makes sense that some people are enticed, stirred, agitated to hate their fellowmen more so than others. If a demonic order has ruled over a tribe of people for centuries, it makes sense that certain patterns of hate and destruction are repeated to point of being predictable. The problem is this. When weapons of men were sticks and stones their hate was dangerous, no doubt, but their weapons were not capable of burning up entire world. Today’s nuclear power is a real concern in hands of men who are agitated by demonic powers. (Terrorists, who once used conventional weapons against Americans, now may have nuclear weapons soon according to Time magazine, dated February 14, 2005.)
