Satanic Extremes of Cartel Training

In Mexico, drug cartels are becoming increasingly brutal. In a game of one-upmanship, when one gang does something horrendous, the next gang has to do something even more horrendous (The Daily Beast, February 13, 2022). This scenario has led to gang members mutilating those they kill from rival gangs.

Mexican cartels have now included cannibalism in their “terror schools” as part of the training of new recruits. Sadly, those recruits do not have the option to leave the schools, and their lives are threatened if they fail to comply with the training. One can only imagine the mental scars caused by engaging in such grotesque behaviors. The cartels’ goal is to intimidate their enemies into submission.

Today’s world remains under the influence of “the god of this age,” identified by the Bible to be Satan the Devil (2 Corinthians 4:4). Jesus calls the Devil a “murderer” (John 8:44), and under his demonic influence, this world is becoming not only more ungodly, but even more “brutal” (2 Timothy 3:1–4). Jesus Christ is going to return as “the Savior of the world” (John 4:42) to eliminate the atrocities we see today and show mankind the way to peace (Isaiah 9:6–7). This is what the true Gospel that Jesus Christ preached is all about.
