Revelation has a very important and chilling lesson to teach us modern day believers. Forget about the end times—we’ll get no help about that topic in this book because Yahweh is playing games with these New Testament believers. He’s telling them what they want to hear instead of telling them the truth. When we really stop to think about this, it’s a terrifying thought, for where are we going to end up if God Himself begins to purposely deceive us? What hope do we have of ever discovering truth if God hides that truth from us? True wisdom is something which only God can reveal to us. The soul attitudes which will really lead to our true happiness are ones that only He can teach us. Those attitudes are the antithesis of the egotistical rot that permeates Revelation.

In the Old Testament, Yahweh describes Himself as intentionally withholding spiritual illumination from scores of people so that those people will be unable to progress in their relationship with Him (see Cancelled Invitation). In the Gospels, Jesus does the same thing: He claims to be intentionally blocking His audience from understanding the spiritual truths He is setting right in front of them (seeJesus: the Bewildering Teacher). What happens when God blinds your eyes? You are blind, and yet you think you can see. You turn into an absolute fool and yet you honestly think you are wise. Look around the Church today at all of these false prophets and pompous preachers who dispense utter baloney from the pulpit with absolute confidence. Many of these people honestly think that they are correct in their thinking. These false prophets really think their visions are from God. The pompous preachers really think they are brimming with insight. Then there are all of these Bible scholars who go waving their degrees in your face while emphatically denying principles of Scripture that are clearly spelled out right in front of them. Though Yahweh claims to be the ultimate Source of all the good and evil in this world, our “scholars” emphatically deny this to be true. Though both Yahweh and Jesus tell blatant lies and completely reverse promises and laws that They have laid down, teachers in the Church today insist that Paul is correct when he says that God can’t lie and that James is correct when he says that God has nothing to do with evil. Who are we choosing to listen to: foolish humans or our Gods? We’ve chosen the humans. Modern Church theology is a mirror image of New Testament foolishness.
