Some proponents of the so-called vaccine comprise what could probably be called a religious movement. It is being treated as though it is the “savior.” Even many religious leaders have endorsed it, despite the fact that 1,000,000 adverse reactions (including deaths) have been reported by doctors, nurses, and family members to VAERS, the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (https://openvaers.com). 

     Unfortunately, it has led to a false hope, with fear and deception, for many. Much has not been told to the general public. It is appalling that so many individuals, corporations, the media, and even a large portion of health care professionals, have all had a part in initiating and and covering up this Great Deception. It has sparked fear in billions of people. 

     Bible prophecy in Matthew 24 predicted this would happen in the days prior to the Tribulation Period and the Second Coming of Christ. There is also a prophecy in Revelation 18:23 that says “all nations will be deceived by sorcery.“ The Greek word translated here is where the word “pharmaceuticals” comes from. That begs the question: Is humanity being deceived by a simple injection?

     Christians must have nothing to do with deception and fear. They are both satanic and totally opposite to how believers should live - in truth and faith. Colossians 2:8 warns us to “see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception...”

     There is also a Great Deception about the real problem and the answer for it. In the heart of each individual is an inherent flaw called a sin nature - separation from God- in need of God’s grace. Without God’s grace humanity  can sink to a very low level, not only spiritually, but morally, which is what the world is now witnessing. Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick. Who can understand it?” And in the last days before Christ’s return II Timothy 3:13 adds, “...people will become worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

     For people who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, the one and only Savior, there will be real security, as expressed in Isaiah 41:10. “Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not look anxiously about you, for I am your God...”

   For Christians, what happens in this life is not the end of the story. Author Ron Rhodes beautifully sums it up: “Fighting off dangerous infections is a constant struggle. We often get sick, and all of us eventually die. It is just a question of time. Our new resurrection bodies, however, will be raised imperishable. All liability to disease and death will be forever gone. Never again will we have to worry about infections or passing away.” (1) That is not a false hope!

     In the meantime, heed the words of the Apostle Paul in II Corinthians 11:3. “But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.”

      I will close with these encouraging words from my pastor, Thomas Fender. “Yes, COVID is still with us and shows no sign of fading away just yet, however, the new things of God are not stifled by a virus or anything else we can imagine. His new mercies and blessings are ours when we have eyes to see and ears to hear. I pray 2022 is a year full of newness for us all; new blessings and joys, new insights, new newness of Jesus, new growth, and new challenges that lead to all of these. God is never stale or predictable, but he is steadfast in love, mercy, faithfulness, and newness every day.”
