Bible Verse: John 12:31

FYI: John 12:31 is a verse from the New Testament of the Bible, which reads:

"Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out."

This verse is spoken by Jesus just before his crucifixion, and it refers to the fact that his death and resurrection will bring about a judgment of the world and the defeat of the "ruler of this world," which is often interpreted to mean Satan.

The verse is considered to be true by Christians who believe in the divinity of Jesus and the authority of the Bible. However, interpretations of the verse may vary among Christian denominations and scholars. 

Some interpret the verse to mean that the world will be judged and purified through the coming of Jesus, while others interpret it to mean that the power of evil will be overcome through Jesus' sacrifice.

Overall, the meaning of the verse is a matter of interpretation and belief for individual readers of the Bible.

Is there an evil force that influences humanity?

The concept of an evil force influencing humanity is found in many religions and belief systems. In Christianity, this force is often referred to as Satan or the devil, who is believed to be a fallen angel who rebelled against God and tempts humans to sin.

In other belief systems, this force may be referred to as a demon, a malevolent spirit, or an embodiment of evil. Some people may also refer to this force as negative energy or dark forces.

However, it's important to note that the existence of such an evil force is a matter of belief and faith, and not everyone subscribes to this idea. 

Some may interpret negative events or actions in the world as arising from human nature or societal structures, rather than from an external evil force.

Are there entities within our reality that we cannot see?

With our limited perception, we cannot state with absolute certainty whether there are entities within our reality that we cannot see. However, several phenomena suggest the possibility of the existence of such entities, including:

There are many types of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. They can only be seen using specialized tools such as microscopes.

Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is thought to make up about 85% of the matter in the universe. It does not interact with light, so it cannot be directly observed.

Many people believe in ghosts or spirits, which are thought to be the souls of deceased individuals. 

While there is no scientific evidence for the existence of ghosts or spirits, many people claim to have had experiences suggesting their presence.

Some theories suggest the possibility of other dimensions beyond the four we experience in our reality. These dimensions may contain entities or phenomena that we cannot perceive with our senses.

It's essential to note that while some of these phenomena suggest the possibility of entities that we cannot see, they are often the subject of debate and ongoing scientific research.

Whether or not evil is an external force, in the air, in hidden entities, or in human nature, doesn't really matter. We know that it exists and is demonstrated through human interaction. 

Given the condition of our world today, evil is real and complex. The decisions our leaders are making are worsening things, and life is becoming more uncertain in our nation and around the world.

The only way to lessen the influence of evil over us is to love one another, and we have seen in the past that this will not happen without divine intervention.

 I'm not saying that The Almighty will not one day step in and spread peace and love across the land; that is just as possible as anything else, but it is not likely. Yet, Jesus said that the ruler of the world, meaning the physical world, "…will be driven out."  

That sounds like divine intervention to me. Now, given humanity's current state and the scriptures related to Revelation, we are approaching a significant shift in the world's conditions.

 "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'" (Revelation 21:3-4)
