And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Mat 24:11 False prophets will claim they have a message from the Lord but will prophecy things that conflict with the Word,

Obviously spiritual deception is the worst kind.   But all deception takes a toll because it serves to put one in bondage.   

Jesus came to set us free.   He did so by being and speaking the Truth.   

If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Joh 8:36 Jesus has the power to deliver us from every form of bondage and to empower us to stay out of bondage.      Notice that He `makes` us free.     This is because the Old Man is unfixable.     We are Born Again of the Word by the Holy Spirit and so are made free in the New Man which is a New Spirit being.

As we see an increase in lying on every front there is a constant danger of being deceived.

Yes, when we think about False Prophets our mind naturally goes to religious false prophets.   

But a significant number of people are not overtly religious at all.   Such are for all intents and purposes Secular Humanists.   Secular Humanism is a religion whose god is man.   

Accordingly, we have seen the rise of 'experts' in all areas of human life.

   ➛ social policy
   ➛ finance
   ➛ science

In the past 20 years we have seen a marked increase in false prophecy from these experts.   

The motivation behind every False Prophet is money and power.   
   ➛ Evolution Theory Hoax
   ➛ Cosmology Theory Hoax
   ➛ Covid - 19 Hoax
   ➛ Climate Change Hoax
   ➛ Zero Carbon Footprint Hoax
   ➛ Green Energy Hoax

The people who promote the above are effectively prophets touting either the benefits or warnings of their subject.   

Since their claims are false they are effectively False Prophets of the ideology or philosophy.   

As many believers have succombed to the influence of these False Prophets they have come into bondage to them.   

Fear is a main tool these Secular False Prophets use to manipulate the masses.   False education and indoctrination are also key methods for the enslavement of humanity.   

Remember, Christ Jesus came to set us free.   
   ➛ free from guilt
   ➛ free from fear
   ➛ free from deception
   ➛ free from man

See the world as it really is and not how you want it to be.   
Trust no man.   
Trust the Lord Jesus Christ only.
