THOUGHTS
Temporary Blindness
“Blinding Laser
Weapons” are
weapons that are designed to blind soldiers on the field of battle. Most
countries adhere to international law to minimize the power of their lasers.
China, however, instead of limiting the power of such weapons, took full
advantage of the potential, developing the batterypowered ZM-87 Portable Laser
Disturber. Its desired effect was to injure or dizzy the eyes of enemy combatants.
By seeking to blind the enemy, they render them unable to fight.*
I’ve never thought much about the
tactics of war, but it makes a lot of sense that a soldier doesn’t have to be
destroyed in order to be rendered useless. Blinding them is enough. Satan
doesn’t have to get rid of us to take us out of the battle. All he needs to do
is render us useless by blinding us to the truth.
2 Corinthians 4:4
The god of this age
has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the
gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
I love you all,
Tim
