Coronavirus - The Age of Deception

This blog is written by George Young, assistant to Joseph Herrin.



Have you ever had an eye exam? Those who have ever been to an optometrist or ophthalmologist have surely seen the Snellen chart. It is the one with a big “E” at the top and successively smaller lines of letters below it. The doctor asks the patient to read aloud the smallest line they can see in order to gauge their visual acuity. The ultimate goal is to enable you to see the line on the chart that equates to 20/20 vision. This means you can see at 20 feet what the average person with perfect vision should be able to see. 20/20 is called “perfect vision.”

In this year of 2020, I would hope that clarity of vision might manifest itself in the minds of the people on this planet, but the contrary seems to be the case. In fact, deception is rampant, so much so that if I were to set a Snellen chart in front of the world, I believe it wouldn’t be able to see the big “E.”
To say this last month has been bizarre is certainly an understatement, if not a contradiction to reality. “Contradiction?” you might ask. Yes, because the bizarre seems to have become the norm. People seem all-to-willing to accept some form of narrative that is being pushed on them from whatever source of information they subscribe to, whether it is mainstream news, alternative media or their neighbor’s “expert” opinion. I frequent a lot of different sources of news and social commentary myself, but I can say this: I haven’t found one voice that is sending the right message. That message would be to seek God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength now more than ever, because you don’t want to be caught off guard, spiritually speaking, with what is taking place. The recent Coronavirus propaganda is nothing less than a ploy to implement global governance policies that have been in the works for decades now, all which are laying the foundation for a New World Order. This New World Order is not God's kingdom.
Joseph rightly calls the time in which we live the “Age of Deception.” It’s hard for me to think of a more accurate and straightforward title. From what I’ve been told, many Christians have been writing Joseph lately asking what he thinks of the Coronavirus. Many of them seem to be scared about this disease being a judgment from God. Others wonder if this is some sort of conspiracy. Others appear to be buying what the media is telling them. Joseph asked me if I would write a blog about what is going on so that his readers could have a fresh perspective.

The discerning mind must ask questions and soberly seek answers. “Sober” is not the word I would use to describe the actions of most people lately, especially when it comes to buying groceries. Drunk on fear is more like it. We’ve all seen the empty shelves. It is difficult for me to walk down the local grocery store isles and not think that far too many of us have drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid. I admit, for a short time I was starting to buy up extra groceries. My cupboards are pretty well full. I’m starting to think about preparing for not having power, and how I might keep the well water pump running in the event of an extended outage. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bit of prepping, but what we are seeing right now is sheer and utter PANIC in direct response to this supposed “PANDEMIC!” 
Folks, I am confident that the COVID-19 itself is nothing to worry about. We can argue all day about statistics, but the reality is that this virus is not very dangerous. It primarily targets the elderly and sickly, which is nothing new for any ailment.  Heart disease, cancer, auto accidents, diabetes each have tens-to -hundreds of thousands of people who die each year in the United States, and everyone is freaking out about a few hundred deaths? If we look at the pattern of the virus in China, we can plainly see that the number of cases peaked at just over 80,000. Of those about 4% died. The number of infected is dropping to near zero and recovery of the rest has almost normalized. About 4500 deaths as of today in a country with almost 1.4 billion people. Is that really a compelling reason to be scared? No.

It’s not the virus that is going to cause the most damage. It is people’s response to it that is getting WAY out of hand. There are cities with either 0 or 1 recorded case of COVID-19 and the shelves of the grocery stores there are laid bare. Everything from toilet paper to bottled water to eggs to meat to canned foods to flour, sugar, lunchmeat, pasta, canned tuna, canned chicken, ketchup… none to be found. 



Local Kroger store Wednesday, March 18, 2020
This is what happens when people don’t think and plan ahead. No foresight. No understanding. Just flying by the seat of their pants day-by-day focused on what is right in front of them, until something comes along and shocks the majority of the population out of complacency. Then all of the sudden everyone has an emergency and it causes a whole slew of problems. Did you ever stop to think that maybe someone wants you to react this way?
The reactions of the populace were predicted and coordinated in classic Pavlovian fashion, a perfect execution of the primary principle of the Hegelian Dialectic, Problem-Reaction-Solution. The people orchestrating this propaganda want you to clear the grocery shelves, creating scarcity. They want bank runs. They want you isolated and afraid. Why? So they can justify their actions of declaring medical martial law. They wanted the puppet president to invoke the Defense Protection Act, taking full control of the economy and operations of this country.
They also want people thinking about how this virus came about, and they have answers. Already there are news stories circulating associating the Coronavirus with climate change, a subject that has been drilled into the minds of the public for so long now that it’s anathema to challenge the status quo. There are “experts” testifying to the American public of how there were 28 new viruses discovered in melting polar ice caps, obviously trying to scare us into thinking that more and worse pandemics are on the way, and of course, it’s all your fault for melting those ice caps.
Additionally, there is purported evidence cited that influenza comes from the poultry industry, Swine Flu from the pork industry, Mad Cow Disease from the beef industry, that SARS came from the civet cat meat industry in China, MERS from Camel milk and meat, and now, the Coronavirus supposedly comes from Chinese bat soup and possibly snakes. I’m no scientist or medical doctor, but I see a pattern here. “Bat soup” sounds about right - “Bat Soup Crazy” to be exact.
The meat industry takes a large blow from proponents of human-caused climate change, especially beef. Have you ever heard climate activists citing statistics about how the amount of water used to raise a single steer for meat could float a destroyer? Sounds dramatic, especially in a world where fresh water is said to be a protected and sacred rarity, a resource which must be carefully guarded from us “useless eaters” (look up Eugenics) who would destroy such a precious commodity. This is utter hogwash. The cow drinks water, processes what it needs and then urinates the remainder on the ground, providing both water and nitrogen to the soil. Also, the ruling class are the ones causing whatever environmental problems we do have (Dupont, Monsanto… fracking, lithium mining… the list in endless) and then they turn around and blame us and frame us for crimes that they instigated. The strangest part to me is that many people are buying it! Truly, this can only be the result of very sophisticated and refined mind control techniques, born from the bowels of MKUltra and dreamt up in the mind of Edward Bernays, the man who literally wrote the book on propaganda.
This whole scare about carbon emissions is also hogwash. Plants thrive with higher CO2 levels. Growers inject it into their greenhouses to make their plants grow bigger and faster. The earth has experienced far greater than the “threat” of human-caused greenhouse gasses. The fluctuations of the climate on this planet have been massively more dramatic than the little pattern of increase we’ve experienced in the last hundred years. The data that is presented to us is skewed and just plain made up in some cases, in order to convince us that we need to start slimming down our lives and let government tell us who, what, when, where and why we can live.
The governments of the world are going to start regulating meat consumption. They are going to start regulating power consumption. They are going to institute mandatory vaccinations. They are going to regulate your internet activity and virtually every other aspect of your life that is not already under control. If people find themselves out of jobs the government’s answer is Universal Basic Income. Their answer to the possibility of more and worse pandemics is tracking the movements of people through the GPS on their cell phones and other devices. Their answer to people spreading misinformation about these pandemics, or other independent reporting in this “infodemic” as MIT Review calls it, is the blocking of certain websites deemed to be potentially malicious by Internet Service Providers and VPNs. Also, measures are already being taken to limit the sale of ammunition and guns in this medical martial law. I don’t go out of my way to support gun ownership, in fact, I'm a pacifist in regards to physical violence and self-defense (I believe in the "sword of the mouth" and trust in God), but this is an issue that has been poked and prodded for a long time as a bone of contention. These are things to look for in the coming months, or maybe the next few years depending on how this all plays out. Regardless, this is certainly a turning point in history, and the Coronavirus is being used as a trigger event to push towards the legitimization of totalitarian policies. 
This is the dawn of the New World Order folks. The Coronavirus, meaning “crown” virus, is an excuse to push that agenda much further down the road towards a total lockdown. In light of Joseph’s latest posts from his book, “Lunacy and the Age of Deception”, we have seen unparalleled deceptions in the last hundred years, all which have served the same agenda: To convince you to put your trust in the technocratic elites, to convince you of the great progress of the scientific dictatorship and to lure you away from a life focused on God and the way of Christ. The COVID-19 is no different. The powers of this age never let a good crisis go to waste. To them, panic is power, because they have gotten you to react out of fear and they have a solution already prepared to remedy that fear. It is your willing subjugation to the technocratic State that they want. How far away, then, is the fully realized Mark of the Beast? Are they manipulating you right into the place they have prepared for you? Are you a willing participant in the mind control social experiment that is sweeping the globe?
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4
As I said before, I have no problem with “storing up grains” as Joseph did in the Bible. After all, Proverbs 22:3 and 27:12 concur:
The prudent see calamity coming and take cover, but the foolish keep going and suffer the consequences.
Yet there is something more important I need to point out, a rhetorical question I must ask all professing Christians. Where is your trust? Is it in your ability to prepare for calamity and maintain some sense of personal liberty, or is it in the One who can deliver you to or from all evil? Do you really think you are going to be able to avoid the New World Order? Where can you run? Where can you hide from a global pandemic of deception? Remember what Yahshua said:
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the people of the world strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:24-32
Similarly, Paul said:
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
And:
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Philippians 4:11-13
Have you experienced God as your Provider? If you haven’t, I urge you to enter into deep prayer immediately. There is nothing like being in need, praying to Him and having Him answer that prayer. There is nothing more wonderful than to have that open line of communication with our Creator, our Father. Once you have experienced this there is no need to worry about how you will make it through whatever trial you might face. You have peace and understanding in Him.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Yahshua. Philippians 4:7
You truly can do all things through Christ, including waiting patiently for God’s provision if need be. Christ prayed, “Give us this day our DAILY bread…” There’s just something very powerful, liberating and comforting about letting go of our worldly fears, and instead looking to God for our every need. When Yahshua was in the wilderness for 40 days He could have turned stones into bread if He wanted, but He waited for His Father’s provision. Imagine how it felt when God sent angels to minister to Him just after He overcame all temptations. We too can experience this feeling. Has God ever led you “into the wilderness?” What was your wilderness experience? Did you grumble and complain, like the Israelites did after being miraculously brought out of Egypt? If you are a Christian who has received the Holy Spirit, then you have been miraculously delivered out of the world by the power and blood of Christ. If this is the case, then you can most certainly act like it in times of great trouble.
Reason and experience lead me to suspect that the hype and fear-mongering surrounding the COVID-19  story, which is certainly what this is, a great big story (let’s just call the kettle black here) is a coordinated effort with an agenda to further reject and condemn anything it deems to be in the realm of the dreaded C-word: “conspiracy theory.” Call it “fake news” or whatever you will, information will be regulated. Currently, there is a bill called Earn-IT being proposed for legislation. It was developed with the guise of fighting child trafficking and predatory behavior, but the implications are more far-reaching than that. It is removing certain laws that protect companies with user-submitted content from the content their users submit. Basically, companies will be held responsible for anything anyone ever posts on their website, which means they will have to be much more diligent in screening what is allowed to be posted. These companies will be required to scan every single post, comment and message and remove any potentially offensive or false information before it is posted. In an age where certain subjects are too offensive to be permitted in the public sphere, you who know the truth will understand what this means. The sharing of information that is contrary to what the establishment deems to be “doctrine” in the New World Religion will be prevented, and those who attempt to share such information will likely be flagged as “dissenters.”
Remember last year when YouTube and Facebook decided to stop suggesting videos and posts that are conspiracy-related? They were pretty successful in that effort. I’ve read numbers suggesting that as much as 50% of content these companies labeled as fake news, anti-Semitic, denying climate change, denying or “revising” the Holocaust, denying the Moon landings, and promoting a flat Earth had significantly less views than in the past. Some of these subjects have strong merit when you research them well enough. Others are easily refuted, like the flat earth theory. What they have done is lumped them all together, the true with the false, and given them an identity, a trigger phrase called “conspiracy theories,” a term that anyone can latch onto and precipitously throw at someone if their world view is threatened by them.
The fact is conspiracies do exist today, and some have been proven, or at least have enough evidence to raise significant suspicions over the subjects they address. What many truth-seekers attempt to do is examine the facts and make a judgment call. This is part of good discernment. Of course, many fail in this regard, but many succeed too. We must all rightly divide the truth, but in a world where free information and free speech is fast becoming criminal it requires more than research and theorizing. It requires Spiritual guidance. This is where many alternative news sources fall short. Even if they are exposing the powers that be for their evil, they are not following that up with the knowledge of what God has prophesied in the Bible, nor what He is speaking to His children at this time by His Spirit. It’s tragic that so many are rightly dividing only part of the truth. What good is half of the truth? Is that not still a lie?
I would venture to say that freedom of speech only ever existed as a concept. It has never been successfully achieved because, as the Bible tells us, we are slaves to one Master or another, slaves to righteousness and Christ, or slaves of sin and the world. The freedom most people seek is actually rebellion. God hates rebellion. Be careful what ideologies you subscribe to these days because many truthers are urging us to become activists. Some are even encouraging violence and hatred towards the government, bankers and corporations. I do not believe this is what God is calling Christians to at this time. There is an appointed time and way for everything. Remember that Revelation says:
Here is the patience and faith of the saints. And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”
Rest from their labors… this is reminiscent of another verse. Hebrews 4:9-11 says:
There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience (speaking of the Israelites in the wilderness).
Even though we have insane, evil rulers we must still honor them.
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 1 Peter 2:17-18
Furthermore:
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:11-13
We are urged to stand, like Daniel did when he continued praying to Yahweh when it was forbidden and was thrown in the lion’s den, and like Daniel’s friends who refused to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s statue and were thrown in the furnace. That is our first fight. Yet when we are trained in righteousness, refined in the fire and upheld by God’s truth then He may permit us to expose the wickedness of our rulers.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11
Remember at this time what Paul told us:
Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap age-long life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:7-10

Do not be deceived.

May Yahweh, the God of love, bless and keep you by His Spirit of truth in Yahshua's Name. Amen.

Thank you so much for both your articles, George. It is scriptural, rational, eye opening and great encouragement to the body of Christ. I hope Joseph is well. We miss him very much. I have all of his books here at home fortunately. How is the young man doing that Joseph discipled some time back and has his daughter returned from overseas? If you don’t mind and have time, please, mentioned these things somehow. Thanks.
