Deception Run Rampant
When Jesus spoke of the days leading up to His return, He repeatedly warned against deception. In the tribulation, deception will be worse than today, but it’s already bad enough. This is one of those areas where people respond, “But that’s just part of the human condition. People lie because it is their nature to lie. They’ve lied since the beginning.” This ignores two things — the downturn in human morals we see around us, and the downturn in human morals foretold in Bible prophecy (2 Timothy 3:1-7). Growing godlessness will yield an increase in deception. As people increasingly reject God’s Word, they reject truth. God cannot lie, so to reject Him is to reject the truth. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am… the truth.” To reject God the Son, Jesus, is to reject truth. Today’s widespread turning away from God means turning elsewhere. There are basically two choices —God’s side or Satan’s. Those who choose Satan choose the father of lies.
