What happens when Satan has full power over the hearts of the people?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Civil order had collapsed. In reflection of the slipperiness and the utter perishability of their lives and works, they held on to nothing but their swords; no security offered itself. The relentless law of the harvest rolled upon them, and they lived out their remaining days like specters in a terrifying nightmare of anger—sickness, howling, stench, and blood. The lives they had chosen had filled them, not with desire for peace and abundant thriving life, but with hatred and self-destruction. The ultimate end of evil is death” (Thomas, “More Excellent Way,” 279–80).
