I have said it many times since the very start of 2020 and leading into the COVID “plandemic” 2020 was a year that would change the world. The Bible is clear that the last days will be known, among other things, as a time of great deception (Matthew 24:24, 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Thessalonians 2:3). Additionally, the Antichrist will be the Master of Deceptions during this day to come (cf. 2 John 1:7-11, 1 John 2:22, Daniel 11:36). This is the time that the world is actively heading to in our day and there are mass deceptions happening in the world to bring about the last of Daniel’s 70 sevens; the 7 Year Tribulation.

Among the many deceptions of 2020 was the uprising against injustice. It was late May and the world was attempting to emerge from mass lockdowns. There were protests starting at state capitols demanding the draconian measures put in place in an illegitimate and pointless attempt to control a virus that was intentionally released. President Trump was leading our nation and preparing to run for a second term. Something that many powerful democrats and globalists were willing to do anything to prevent.

On May 25, 2020, a man by the name of George Floyd attempted to buy food at a deli in Minneapolis, MN with a counterfeit $20 dollar bill. The Police responded to investigate and through a series of events that remain unclear, Floyd is handcuffed and placed on his stomach with Officer Derek Chauvin holding Floyd down with his knee on Floyd’s neck. Almost 10 minutes later, Floyd stops moving and EMS is called. Floyd is taken to the hospital where he dies.

The public outcry was overwhelming and the cry was for justice. In the days and weeks following Floyd’s death, there were cries for justice for George Floyd. Despite swift action by local, state, and federal authorities against the four officers involved in Floyd’s death, a tide of violence swept through our nation with protests in all 50 States as well as countries around the world. There were cities across the United States that literally burned because of the anger.

It also became clear that there was more to this than meets the eye. Riots were clearly being fueled by left-wing groups. Truckloads of items to be used for rioting appeared on street corners from out of nowhere. People were being flown around the country to engage in these riots including people who were trained to enrage the crowds. Many who were arrested for the violence were out of state and charges were mysteriously dropped. A total of 19 People were killed during the riots.

Around the country, School names and street names were changed. Statues of historical American people were indiscriminately torn down. Anything that was labeled as racist was a target for removal or cancelation, including syrup, toys, cartoons, books, and TV shows. There were moves to rewrite or even erase American history that gained momentum. Marxists organizations like BLM gained notoriety and power.

I bring all of this up because I have a great concern. I was upset by the way Floyd was treated by the police. It shouldn’t have happened. However, there are deceptions that are underlying this situation and the subsequent reaction by people. It is obvious that this was at the least perpetuated by outside forces, both demonic and political; if not staged from the very beginning. However, there is something more that we need to be aware of as Christians.

Out of all of this, particularly what happened in 2020 with COVID and the riots as a result of Floyd’s death, the church has been seduced and divided. We have followed after a false god named Baal. The Bride of Christ has taken to infidelity so easily. There is a mountain of well-meaning believers mixed with false teachers and Christ-less people who are using our world as a construct to build a false religion centered around social justice. The Church has followed after Baal to pursue sociological, environmental, and immoral. We live under a man-made earthly religion that believes our job is to fix the injustices; to fix the world.

This false system goes by names like “Woke” or “Kingdom Now” and others. It is the belief that our job as Christians is to right the wrongs done to us and others. The problem with these vain philosophies is that they ignore vast amounts of Scripture, doctrine, and understanding of what the Church is to do. Yes, we are told to stand up for the poor and oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), but never does the Bible instruct us to see revenge. instead, we are told to live our own lives justly and await the coming of the Lord who will set things right
