The manipulation of words also flows from some
of '
the powers that be.' Deception causes us to
believe in
that which is not, or to view something
bad as good. Propaganda, or double-think, has the
purpose of enabling organized powers to operate in
a favorable environment regardless of the lack of
justification, regardless of goodness, regardless of
God's Plan. This flow of words intends to obtain
and maintain a
controlling effect.

Word Abuse (Coward, McCann & Geoghegan:
1979) is a book written by Dr. Donna Woolfolk
Cross revealing the manipulation of words by the
multimedia, advertising industry. Dr. Cross helps us
understand that the products bought are often not
necessarily as we have been led to believe.

In the same way, we contemplate the forbidden
fruit in the
Garden of Eden. By deception, the
serpent used a flow of words, a psychological
approach, gravely distorting reality. The fruit of the
Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is
presented as a source of pleasure and independent
empowerment rather than a
deceptive disobedience
causing acute suffering and death.

Today,
Peace is a word that effects a favorable
flow to the listener. We all yearn for
peace; our
human organism is designed to flourish in an
environment that is without the threat of violence.
War is a word that almost always effects a negative
flow to the listener. We all dread
war; our human
organism is susceptible to fear and insecurity.

But in this era of apocalyptic fulfillment, when we
hear of
wars and rumors of wars, we have to
muster a more mature and Biblically-informed
reaction to the words
war and peace.  

The apocalyptic beast and the false prophet will use
words; words that present
as good, a bad era of
false peace. Messianic writers will direct your
attention to the fulfillment of this type of Scripture
as it happens.

The
Man of Sin, by words, will deceive many
followers in order to establish a
42-month phase of
false peace that devolves into extreme nocturnal
debauchery and covert murder. But a manipulation
of words will present this final deception as a time
of international peace, celebration and joy.

By words flowing from
prophetic sources, we will
be informed, inspired and prepared for war and
tribulation. This Millennial Civilization project
presents prophecy and Revelation, the
words of
God Himself. We will
endure and overcome . . .
attaining to the sanctification of the saints. AMEN.
