Establishing Some General Biblical Principles
One of God’s commandments is that we’re not to bear false witness; this mean’s that the opposite must likewise true, or in other words, God’s people have a duty to be informed and to give a truthful witnesses (Ex. 20:12; 2 Cor. 13:1). In the days of Jeremiah, God rebuked His people for not being valiant for the truth (Jer. 9:3) and said His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos. 4:6). According to Paul, we’re not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices or he will get an advantage on us (2 Cor. 2:11). Using scripture to interpret scripture, we discover this must include the ploys of governments and worldly powers (Lk. 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 4:4). Indeed, the prophecies contained in the Books of Daniel, Jeremiah and Revelation describe these machinations of world kingdoms.
Even though God said He would be “bringing the sword on the land”( Ezek. 33) (i.e. through governments/nations) as a means of judgment upon His people for their sins (Deut. 32:41, Rom. 13:4), He still expects His watchmen to warn the people of what’s coming (Ezek. 33:3-4). This warning ultimately comes from God Himself (v.7) and if His watchmen sit idle, God will require the people’s blood on the watchman’s hands (v. 6). We see this played out in the days of Jeremiah. God identified the invading army by name, detailed what the army would do to Jerusalem, why they were being used as instruments of His judgment, and how His people were to (and not to) respond (Jer. 2:8; 6:19; 27:8-9; 21:4-5).
The importance of prophetic warnings being delivered well in advance is to first, establish that a prophet is of the one True God (who alone is outside of space and time, and knows all things) and second, to proclaim God’s judgment(s) as a message of repentance and salvation (Jer. 33:3-6). This is because God is a good, fair, just and merciful God. He doesn’t punish in anger or to exact vengeance. While diagnosing the disease and its symptoms, He also gives the remedy that there may be healing and reconciliation. This same template can also be seen, for example, in Jonah’s preaching to Nineveh (Jon. 3:4-10).
God has ordained government as an institution, namely to the end of “punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well” (1 Pet. 2:14; see also Pro. 16:12). This means that although an oppressive government may be used by God and may be allowed to continue on for a period of time (to the end that those in His judgment that are being afflicted would call upon Him and be saved), if those governments are abusing their powers and engaging in evil, they are nonetheless outside of the will of God (even if He’s using them in judgment against a people) and this abuse of power will ultimately seal their doom if not repented of (Jer. 25:12; Jer. 51:44; Dan. 7:21-22).
And we see that in the Bible, God oftentimes uses His people to confront individuals in government (whether civil or religious) who are abusing their God-ordained authority (2 Sam. 12:5-7; Is. 1:23; Mt. 14:3-5; Mt. 10:18-20; Acts 7:51-54; Matthew 23). This in principle is actually the epitome of loving our neighbor as ourselves, for they being in greater power have greater responsibility and will be judged accordingly (Rom. 2:6; Lk 12:48). In so doing, we not only defend the name, honor, and establish the legitimacy of government according to its God-ordained intended purpose, but also to potentially save the souls of those who have ears to hear which leads to their conviction and repentance.
Thus it follows that, in the same way that a Christian exposing and rebuking evil or hypocrisy done in the name of Christianity is not an attack on Christianity itself, nor does it make one anti-Christian—so too exposing evil done by individuals abusing their position of power in government, is not an attack on the institution of government itself, nor does it make one anti-government.
Although God’s Word establishes that like our Master, part of loving good is to hate evil (Heb. 1:9), it doesn’t teach to hate individuals. Jesus only hated the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, not the Nicolaitans themselves (Rev. 2:6). And regarding those things done in darkness, the Bible says, “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph 5:11). The underlying Greek of reprove is elegchó (G1651), which means to “expose, bring to light, refute, rebuke, convict, show fault, call one to account.”
The Bible is full of “conspiracies”
To begin, we must define our terms, because the meaning of words has changed over time.
The actual historical and legal definition of a conspiracy is “an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal [or immoral] act.”-Law.Cornell.edu (synonyms would include: privily, design, plot, confederacy, taking counsel together, etc.).
But the common usage of the term “conspiracy” has essentially come to mean “a [farfetched and baseless] theory” or as dictionary.com defines it, as “a theory that rejects the standard explanation.”
Nowadays, the second anyone espouses anything that goes against what we were taught in school or what’s popularly believed and/or reported by mass media (owned by just a handful of multi-billion dollar, agenda-driven corporations, I might add), it’s immediately labeled as a “conspiracy theory” and rejected. It’s done so without examining the facts which a “conspiracy theorist” may posses and have documented to establish their position (which the Bible says is an unwise thing to do, Pro. 18:13). As Bible believers, we know that we should generally believe the opposite of what the masses believe (Rev. 12:9; Mt. 7:13-14). The modern and subsequently negative connotation of the word “conspiracy” came into popularity through mass media as an intended ad hominem attack; specifically on those who were exposing the criminal cover-up of the assassination of the U.S. President, John F. Kennedy.
It should be common sense that in a day and age such as ours, with such an emphasis on money, power, fame, and political correctness, that people would not be lying and/or secretly working together for immoral ends. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible documents countless conspiracies against God’s faithful people. The inspired authors obviously not only had to be aware of them and believe that they had enough evidence for it to be beyond a mere “theory” in order to document them, but also in so doing, they were making them public knowledge .
Now we will only really focus on a couple of conspiracies here in particular that relate to the subject at hand, and the times in which we’re living; but to these two could be added: Gen 37:17-20; Ex 1:8-11; 2 Sam. 15:10-12; 2 King 12:20; 2 King. 15:10; 2 Kin. 21:23; 2 Ch. 25:27; Neh. 4:7-9; Ps. 2:1-2; Ps. 37:12; Ps. 83:3; Jer. 11:9; Ezek. 22:27; Dan. 3:8; Dan. 6:3-7; Mt. 26:4; Mt. 28:9-16; Mk. 3:6; Lk. 20:19-20; Jn 12:9-11; Acts 4:14-18; Acts 18:12; Acts 23:12-15; Acts 25:3 ;Gal. 2:4; Rev. 17:5-8, 13-14; and countless others more which I’ve omitted for brevity sake.
Example #1: In the time of Jesus, King Herod (part of the Roman government), secretly plotted to kill the Messiah (Mt. 2:7, 13). Since no one was aware of Herod’s true intentions, not even the Wiseman whom he sent to inquire where He should be born, God Himself warned His people and made this plot known unto them (Mt. 2:12-13).
Example #2: In the time of Esther, elements of the government conspired to root out God’s Commandment keeping remnant (Est. 3:8-9, 12-13). Knowledge of this conspiracy was publicly published abroad by God’s people and constructively used as an impetus for repentance and fasting (4:3-4, 7-8). It had been declared that if those who knew about the conspiracy remained silent regarding it, they would ultimately perish with the rest of God’s people on account of their inaction (4:13-14). Even the queen herself was not exempt from this judgment should she fail to involve herself.
Big Picture, Present Truth
God expects his people to be grounded in what the Bible calls “present truth” (2 Peter. 1:12), or in other words, the messages and duties which are particular to His people for that particular time in which they’re living. Peter also commends unto us prophecy as being given especially to keep us from stumbling (2 Pet. 1:19). And in the book of Revelation (which it says Jesus personally gave John, v. 1), a blessing is pronounced upon those who “Hear” (G191 akouó, or “perceive, comprehend, understand, and to report” or “teach”) and “keep” their eyes fixed on those things (v. 3). Thus, for those living during that time, to not understand or to report those things is to, ipso facto, be cursed.
There’s a reason the Bible is approximately 1/3 prophecy. It’s not just there for page filler. God put it there for a purpose. The name of this most prophetic book of the Bible, which depicts events to take place until the end of time, Revelation or “The Revealing,” comes from the very first word of the very first verse, G602 apokalupsis (from where we get our word Apocalypse), which means “a disclosure of truth, instruction, concerning divine things before unknown; unveiling, manifestation, made visible to all.” Indeed, God’s Word goes on to state that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10; see also Am. 3:7; Acts 13:1; 15:32). Additionally, the apostle Paul stated he thought it was more important that the church understood prophecy than speaking in tongues (1 Cor. 14:5).
Revelation describes a great “whore” who in the end-times would be controlling the kings of the earth (Rev. 17:1, 5, 18, 2). And God says that He Himself will make this whore naked, or in other words, expose what she’s been doing in secret (Nah. 3:1, 4-5, 11, 15-16; Hab. 3:14). God calls His people to come out of this woman (or church Eph 5:22-23; 2 Cor. 11:2; Jer. 6:2; Is. 51:16) who reigns over the kings of the earth at that time, or they will be judged with her a partakers of her sins (Rev. 18:4). Thus, God expects her and her sins to be identified. Likewise, Revelation 14:4-9 describes the final messages to be preached to “every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” as including #1) The Gospel #2) God’s imminent judgement, #3) the fall of this great Babylon “that great city” who “made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,” and #4) what her “mark” is, and how to avoid it. The only way to ascertain Babylon’s fall and how to avoid her mark (who’s recipients will be doomed, Rev. 14:9-10), is to first identify her.
Babylon, which means “confusion” (see Strong’s Exhaustive Definition for Babel, H894) is also given in the Bible as the definition of a woman lying carnally (or “fornicating”) with a beast (Lev. 18:23). A beast in prophecy represents a kingdom or a government (Dan. 7:23; and as we already established, a woman represents a church). Thus, we see why in Revelation this union between “Babylon” the “great whore” (Rev. 17:1, 5) and the “kings of the earth” (vv. 2, 18) is defined as an “abomination…drunkenness…fornication” (vv. 2, 5) and for which she is about to be judged (v.1). You see, God is opposed to such a one-world government and implicated such a system as being used for evil long ago when he separated the nations by creating a language barrier at the tower of Babel (Gen. 11:6-9; see also 1 Ch. 1:19, Acts 17:26). God Himself created the nations and intends for them to be sovereign, governed by their own people and not to be the mere tools of a false church (antichrist), who use them for her own covetousness ends, and to persecute that great and perpetual rebuke to her, God’s true commandment keeping people.
Turning back to Jeremiah and seeing that God told His people they weren’t to physically fight against literal Babylon (Jer. 21:4-5), we also find a seemingly contradictory message in Jer 51:1-2, 11-14, 25-27; 33-35, 4, etc. These passages are prophetic and indicate that God’s people in the end-times are to be spiritually fighting against Babylon (not physically, 2 Cor. 10:4).
The apostate churches and corrupted Bibles do not want you know prophecy, or to even consider conspiracies, as they are part of them
We’ve touched upon the prophetic implication of the churches in the great end-time events to bring it now to a full-circle. In Isaiah 8:12, the prophet warned God’s people who were about to be judged for their apostasy against joining together in a confederacy (or “teaming up”) with other nations in attempt to overthrow their inevitable judgement by the King of Assyria (the context makes this plain, just read the verse in its context, vv. 7-10). And yet, one of the modern translation of the Bible, the NIV (which based on spurious manuscripts, omits many verses altogether containing central Christian tenets from the Bible and corrupts many more), has rendered this verse in such a way as to dissuade people from investigating or being concerned with anything that may be considered conspiratorial, “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy…” (none of the commentators interpret the passage that way). As it turns out “coincidentally,” the NIV had the Jesuit Priest on the translation committee (Carlo Martini), which organization I’ve proven through many articles containing thousands of citations spanning hundreds of years, to be the chief architects of all the organized evil and abuse of government taking place in the world today.
Such renderings and beliefs have lead “Christians” to write articles such as Beyond ‘Plandemic’: A Christian Response to Conspiracies, that not only repudiate the Bible, but also encourage the abrogation personal Christian responsibility. This will inevitably result in the great end-time deception going unbridled and the personal injury/death of thousands, if not millions of people, sealing their eternal doom (refer to my articles Covid-19: What you’re NOT being Told and Covid-19: Unmasking the Conspirators, and the Aims of their Design).
Everything that’s going on in the world today is ultimately prophetic in nature and can only truly be understood in light of Bible prophecy. And since such a worldview is anything but popular anymore, He who’s fulfilling Biblical duty and proclaiming the actual truth, should be expected to be called a “conspiracy theorist” and should wear that appellation as a badge of honor, even as the early Christians did the appellation “Christian,” which was originally given to the followers of Jesus in a mocking way.
