Before Donald Trump became president of the United States in 2016, the world was already suffering from a global pandemic of deception. Since then, things have gone from bad to worse. Many will blame Trump for this. However, the real fault lies with the fact the entire world has indeed been deceived. This took place long before Trump was even born.
Global Deception: The Real Pandemic
While COVID-19 played its role as a pandemic that put the entire world on lockdown, the real killer was all the deception that revolved around it. All the lies and drastic measures that went with it caused more death and destruction than the virus ever did. That deception is still causing pain and suffering everywhere and it's not about to end anytime soon.
What the lockdown achieved was put the easily deceived into a mindset that sent them even further off the deep end than they were already. As much as they love to consider themselves as awakened individuals, nothing can be further from the truth. Collectively known as "The Woke," these people have no idea each of them have been turned into mindless puppets. There is not an ounce of individualism to be found in any of them.
The full definition of an individual is someone who is capable of thinking and acting for themselves without being influenced by whatever trends the world dictates they should be following. When it comes to the pandemic known as Wokism, this is not the case among those who are infected. This is becoming increasingly evident as they favor political and social policies that couldn't care less about human lives.
They Not Know What They Do
When Jesus was persecuted, then crucified, he cried out, "Father, forgive them, for they not know what they are doing." Evidence of this statement can be found in Luke 23:34.
Just like the crowd who sided with the Pharisees, members of the Woke community have done the same. Those who are influencing these people like puppets are also deceived as they have no idea their strings are being pulled, too. Whether folks choose to believe it or not, the entire world was already deceived as of Genesis 3:1. This is the infamous scripture that witnessed Satan deceiving Eve, then Adam, into trusting his deceptive ways instead of sticking to God.
In reality, the global pandemic that has claimed one life after another began the moment Satan slithered his way into the lives of Adam and Eve. Many will ask why God would allow such a thing to happen. The answer is simple. God gave mankind a gift called freedom. Unlike Satan, God didn't deceive men and women to love him and trust him.
The Freedom Deception
When Satan deceived Eve to choose the Tree of Knowledge over the Tree of Life, he convinced her (and Adam) that it was a road to certain freedoms God supposedly denied them. "Your eyes will be opened" was the devil's quote, giving two people reason to believe it would wake them up to truths they thought were kept hidden from them. What they failed to observe was Satan's brand of truth was really a lie.
The path Adam and Eve chose is the exact same one taken by members of society who have no place in their heart for God, Jesus, nor anything to do with genuine Christianity. These are also the same people who have also declared war against the nation of Israel and the religion most Israelites follow, Judaism. And no, we're not talking about Muslims and their religion of choice, Islam.
We're talking about a population of people around the world who favor organizations such as Hamas. Oddly enough, the vast majority of those people who are siding with an established terrorist organization don't realize the very thing they're supporting hates them even more than they hate the Jewish. If these followers paid enough attention to what's been written in the Quran and how the Islamic faith system really works, they wouldn't behave so foolishly.
What Satan did when he duped Adam and Eve was put them into spiritual comas that kept them from the real truth. God's word has always been open and honest since the beginning. Adam and Eve knew this but fell for the devil's lies anyway. That mistake cost them (and us) dearly as the free world God intended for his people to live in was replaced by the garbage dump Satan had in mind.
Real Climate Change
When the devil deceived mankind to hand control of the world from themselves to him and his demonic horde, this was the first real example of climate change. Instead of living in the land of paradise God had laid out for his people, it now became a world facing a series of environmental challenges. These challenges also included extreme weather conditions and other hazards that weren't there previously.
As activists sound off about climate change, they don't realize all they're doing is adding even more fuel to a fire that's already burning out of control. History has repeatedly demonstrated the more certain powers try to play the role of God to make a difference the more it backfires. Chaos, death, and destruction always becomes the end result as these so-called environmentalists don't realize how badly deceived they really are. This is a subject I know a bit too well because I used to be one of them.
Don't Be Deceived
It's easy to fall for the lies told by the mainstream media whenever we learn of stories about air, land, and water become contaminated due to some manmade disaster. Granted, these disasters suck but most of the time the journalists don't tell the full truth of what's really going on. In fact, the majority of mainstream media sources behave like salespeople as they merely tell the public whatever their corporate sponsors instruct them to say.
What's becoming increasingly rare these days is honest journalism. The corporate media and corrupt politicians have gone out of their way to keep as many people in the dark as possible. Each time ethical politicians, honest journalists, and concerned whistleblowers dare to come forward with the truth, efforts are made to discredit them and shut them up.
The war against the truth, including God's, has been amplified more than ever. As soon as Donald Trump became president of the United States in 2016, the spiritually dead and misguided became unglued. The COVID-19 pandemic that was introduced a year before he supposedly lost the presidency to Joe Biden was conveniently timed. So was the hype that further fueled one false story after another about climate change. Both of these events were engineered by the same people who continue to deceive the masses today.
Again, long before Donald Trump, the world was already deceived. Whether people choose to believe it or not, it's easy for Satan to dupe people who don't follow Christianity at all. It's also easy for the devil to deceive lukewarm Christians who don't take the time to get to know Jesus. Instead, they follow whatever they're told instead of picking up a properly written edition of the Holy Bible and learn God's truth for themselves. By doing this, they're actually practicing one of the seven deadly sins known as sloth.
The World Deceived
Did you know the King James Version of the Holy Bible is the only English translated version that calls the devil by name? This is also the same version translator William Tyndale was killed by misguided priests who didn't want their people to learn from a source other than their own. These are the exact same priests who continue to hide behind scarlet and purple robes, each of them pretending to be something they're not.
When Jesus stated even the "elect" would be deceived, he was referencing several Catholics, Christians, and Muslims who are blindly following religious leaders without thinking. What most of them don't realize is they're following the false Christs and prophets Jesus himself warned about in Matthew 24:24. They also don't realize they're among the victims talked about in Revelation 17:1-6. Unfortunately, when this truth is brought up with them, each of them carry out all seven of the deadly sins at once instead.
According to Revelation 3:16, members of the lukewarm church will be rejected. This isn't something Jesus wants! However, since they're preferring to follow global trends instead of God's word, they're making it clear whose side they're really on. Because of this, their goat-like attitude has them parted to the left while Jesus gathers the humble sheep who really do follow him to a much safer environment. This statement was made clear in Matthew 25:33-35.
Left vs. Right
One key observation is all the people classified as "leftists" all fit the same profile. The same can be said with the people regarded as "right-wing extremists." The majority of politically and socially liberal people are as stubborn as goats when it comes to just about everything that comes to mind. It's also observed as individualistic as they claim to be, they're really nothing more than carbon copies of each other. They're just as spiritually dull as the devil itself.
It's also observed the majority of these liberals all fit the profile Apostle Paul described in Romans 1:28. He pointed out unless they turn to God, they'd be given over to a debased mindset. Today, they're proving how right he is with their antics.
Among most politically and socially conservative people, they share a common belief that God and Jesus are both the real deal. Even among those who don't fancy themselves as bible believers share a superior moral compass than a population who blindly believes every story the mainstream media tells them. Believe it or not, even in the Holy Bible it states God would rather see people either hot or cold when it comes to spiritual warfare than exercise an apathetic attitude.
Choosing God
Whether you're a bible believer or not, choosing to follow Jesus and God's word is the best decision you can make. Choose them, not the world. It's not easy because the world and people following its trends hate them. They also hate anything and everything that doesn't jive with their ideologies. What they don't always realize is they also hate themselves.
The key to survival comes from real love. This is what God provides. If he didn't he wouldn't be as patient with us silly humans as he has been all this time. However, time is running out before he puts an end to the world's suffering. It was dead the moment Satan deceptively robbed it from its rightful inheritors. If you're wondering who those rightful inheritors are, they're us. Among those who already know this and lovingly follow Jesus despite their own shortcomings, it's an inheritance that will come to pass very soon.
