"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of
this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine on them." (2 Cor. 4:3-4)
In 1995, "Jane's International Defense Review" reported that Norinco of China was offering to
export a weapon that used laser beams to damage the eyes of enemies. The weapon is called the
ZM-87 portable laser "disturber." The ZM-87 is effective to a range of two miles.
According to the "Chicago Tribune," "Jane's said the company states that one of its major
applications is to injure or dizzy the eyes of an enemy combatant with high-power laser pulses,
especially anybody who is sighting and firing, by means of an optical instrument, so as to cause
him to lose combat ability or result in suppression of his observation and sighting operation."

Satan likewise knows that blinding a soldier renders him worthless for battle; thus, he has many weapons to blind their minds.
