“Let’s put things right!” says one advertisement in our local paper. It is election time again and the election guide tells us how to vote.

Do you also belong to those people who are conscious that there is something wrong and want to put things right?

The question actually is, “Why is the world as it is?” And the question is answered in the Bible.

There are clever people whose goal it is to make this world a better place and putting it right.

But all their efforts, including improving the education, is not solving the problem, because they do not ask the most important question, namely, “Why is the world as it is?”

The Bible says that the world is as it is because of the devil and his forces. In 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 we read about “the god of this world”. Read also Ephesians 2:1 and Ephesians 6:12.
