Nations are guided along through hidden means, a dominant belief-system, a worldview that's been meticulously embedded in the public mind. Scripture tells us about this influence, calling it "the spirit of the world" (1 Cor 2:12) directed by "the god of this age" (2 Cor 4:4) / "the ruler of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2). Occult language refers to them as Egregores. Sadly, most Christians are unaware of how great their influences are and the toll they take on faith.
