The Dollar General Invasion: How Corporate Darkness Consumes Small-Town America

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." - Ephesians 6:12

I don't leave my home much these days. After that run-in with the child trafficking operation out west a few years back, I'm a bit of a hermit now, dealing with PTSD. But every so often, I have to venture out - and that's when I see it.

The Dollar General invasion.

Those harsh, institutional lights cutting through the darkness. That vaguely chemical smell. Every town looks the same. Main Street dying, dollar stores rising like a plague. It's like watching the soul of small-town America get consumed in real-time.

The Corporate Darkness Spreads

Once, these little communities had character. Family-owned shops, thriving local economies, a sense of identity. Now, it's just row after row of generic big-box stores, peddling cheap Chinese goods. The landscape is being flattened, individuality erased.

And it's not just happening in America. This corporate darkness is spreading across the globe, devouring unique cultures, swallowing up the human spirit. Multinational conglomerates are the new kings, and they answer to no one.

Principalities and Powers

But this isn't just an economic issue. There's a spiritual dimension at play - a cosmic battle for the very heart and soul of humanity. The Bible warns us about these "rulers," "authorities," and "cosmic powers" that wage war in the heavenly realms.

The Dollar General invasion is just one front in that war. Demonic forces are using these soulless corporate machines to strip away our sense of community, our connection to the land, our very identity. They want to reduce us to mindless consumers, addicted to cheap thrills and instant gratification.

The Warning of Revelation

This shouldn't surprise us, of course. The book of Revelation prophesied this long ago. The "mark of the beast" - a system of economic control that forces everyone to buy and sell through a centralized digital currency. Sound familiar?

The technology exists right now. Brain chips, tracking every transaction. It's all unfolding before our eyes, just as the Bible foretold 2,000 years ago. Wake up, Church! This is spiritual warfare on a cosmic scale.
