LEARNING DAILY
Matthew 24:4, And
Jesus answered and said to them, “Take heed that no one deceives you.”
I never want to
take Scripture out of context. Here Jesus is responding to a question asked by His
disciples about the signs of the end of the age. The first sign He talked about
was deception. He continued to mention that there would be many people coming
in His name and they deceive many. There have been many who have come that
would deceive even God’s people into following a gospel different from what He
taught. You and I must be aware of any deception that leads us away from the truth
Jesus taught and is written in the word of God.
Today’s blog is
about a different type of deception. I am so tired of people who believe they
are superior to the rest of us due to education and position telling us what we
should and should not be doing. Mandates are being handed down about vaccinations,
blame being placed on the unvaccinated for the spread of a virus, and lies and
distortions are being told about everything related to it. A Supreme Court Justice has distorted
information and numbers about the severity of covid in children, the number of
children in the hospital and the number of children dying from the virus. The
President of the United States has issued mandates for vaccination that have
caused too many to lose their jobs because of choosing to follow their right to
decide for themselves whether to be vaccinated or not. Many of these were
health care workers working to give aid to those hospitalized. We have been
deceived by the numbers who have died; we are now learning that the majority of
those who have died were overweight or had other underlying causes that led to
their deaths. Now, the director of the CDC states that the vaccines do not prevent
the spread of the vaccine. We are also being told that boosters do not help
while others say we are going to need more boosters. Who is right? Who do we
believe?
What is going on
in this crazy world we are living in? I do know this – the people of the world
have been too easily led to believe lies that are centered around fear. I am not saying that covid-19 and its
variants have not been dangerous and the cause of many deaths. Please, do not
misunderstand. What I am concerned with is the amount of information and
direction being given is so deceptive and people have followed it because of
the fear it brings. Does wearing a mask really prevent anything. Again, it
depends on who you listen to. Look at what the shut down of schools and
businesses has resulted in. Our students are falling behind in their education
and businesses are failing. They cannot even stay open for full business hours
because they do not have enough employees.
Perhaps there is
other reasons for all of this! Maybe there is more going on that we need to
examine. Some might say to me you listen to too many who throw out ideas of
conspiracies or what some people call the Great Reset. Or maybe, just maybe
what Jesus said would be signs of His return have become more than ”birth pangs”.
It is time to dig into what is happening today on our world. Are you with me?
