No, I’m not talking about Obama!
There’s this interesting You Tube video I came across last night that details one of those secret black ops projects (that so many people seem to know about) where giant holographic images of various deities will be projected in the sky across the world. These images will be accompanied by mind suggestions as to what they mean. Depending on where you live, what you’ll see will be an image based on the prevalent traditional religion of the area. So, in a predominantly Christian area, you might see Jesus; in a Muslim area, you might see Mohamed, etc.
The claim is that all the mental suggestions going along with these images will lead people to believe that we’ve all been wrong up to now about God and what He wants, and that what we really are supposed to do is submit to the new One World Religion.
Conspiracy nut stuff? Maybe, but bear with me for a minute. Some insiders say we have the technology to pull this sort of thing off. There certainly are those who would use religion or any means to control the masses. It may not be in the works as the video claims, but it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility either. Besides, something like that has been predicted in the Bible (Matthew 24).
I mentioned this to my husband this morning and his comment was: this is so typical of what arrogant people seeking to control others would come up with. He went on to say that these power brokers actually believe that religious people would be fooled by that sort of thing. Many undoubtedly will be. I’m sure everyone will be initially impressed by the special effects. But at some point, people who have faithfully practiced their religion for years are going to notice that the implanted voices inside their heads aren’t jiving with the sacred writings they have so long studied, or what they have come to recognize as the voice of God in their hearts. I can speak to what a Christian might be thinking for that is my religion. A basic doctrine we have been taught since infancy is that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and by extension, to get to heaven. It’s simplified, but essentially what we believe. So, is a faithful Christian going to suddenly do an about-face because he or she saw an image of Jesus in the sky and “heard” him say that He wasn’t the only way after all, in fact, He wasn’t any sort of way?
Perhaps with the right amount of coercion, even the most faithful of Christians may turn. But I do believe it will be pretty clear to those who want to hold onto their faith that the whole thing will be nothing but a super high-tech hoax.
The people most likely to be deceived, in my opinon, are those who really don’t have a solid faith in anything. As far as they are concerned, Jesus could say the most outrageous things because they have no idea what Jesus actually did say. It would take far less than giant holographic images to deceive them. If you are in that group, you should consider that you may be vulnerable to being controlled in a way you hadn’t anticipated. You might want to dust off a copy of the Bible, crack it open, and take a look at what it actually says–especially the four Gospels. You’ll find it’s different than what you might think. I’m not saying convert to Christianity, or even believe a word of what you read. Just get a working knowledge of what’s written. That way, if you happen to bump into some false messiah making this or that claim, you’ll at least be able to know whether or not “he” is contradicting what the real Jesus said in the Gospels. When you perceive the contradiction, just be wary.
The real danger in getting lead by some special effects into a One World Religion isn’t so much that the new religion would be so bad, although I personally believe it will be horrible. It’s more that you will have been lead down that path through deception and that the religion itself will be used to control you. Legitimate religions have for years been used to control and harm people. An invented religion will be used to the same ends. Do you really want to risk becoming a part of that? This is one situation where knowledge may not exactly be power, but it can at least be protection–for a while. So, educate yourself on what is in the Sacred Scriptures. And maintain a healthy skepticism no matter what you see.
