Here in America, demon possession is simply not believed, most pass it off as a psychological or psychiatric disorder. Most Christians think of it as only occurring in some far off heathen land, but not in the "civilized" West. But as we can see, we are getting to the end and such manifestations are going to become more common place. We already see demonic activity in the wave of crimes sweeping the nations in the daily news, but we seldom hear or view on the news about cases that more resemble those that Jesus dealt with, like the demoniacs or the boy possessed by a demon the disciples couldn't cast out. But these things still happen, even in 'civilized countries', and it will get worse as we see killings which no one can justify or explain, even the perpetrator. It seems we have 'spirits' that are already taking possession or in control of some people, and we just dont want to even contemplate it is happening...
