Page 44 - Lunacy and the Age of Deception

Deuteronomy 4:19
And beware, lest you lift up your eyes... and see... the stars... and worship them.

I want to emphasize that societies are culpable for the deceptions foisted upon them. Whenever evil
men and women perpetrate great deceptions upon a populace, the people themselves share
responsibility. The Scribes and Pharisees would not have been able to attain to such exalted roles,
and remain in them, had not the Jewish people given them their support. Similarly, the populations
of nations today are responsible for the deceptions they fall prey unto. This may appear on the
surface to be counterintuitive, for a person who is deceived does not know he or she is deceived. The
responsibility of the people lies at a more foundational level, however. People are deceived because
they do not love truth. A people who do not love truth will become susceptible to lies and
deceptions.

The Bible teaches that sinful man, the descendants of Adam, are predisposed to prefer lies rather than
truth. I believe that as Christians we must acknowledge this reality or we will not be able to
comprehend how governments and other agents could possibly pull off immense deceptions of the
scale of the Apollo Moon landings. If we begin with the assumption that most people love truth and
are not easily deceived, we are beginning with a worldview that is not in agreement with the
testimony of Yahweh.

Jeremiah 5:31
“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their own authority; and My people love it
so!”
