“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you”
–Mark 13:3-5
The end times–as anyone who has spent any time examining them is aware–is a period marked by GREAT deception.
One of the greatest deceptions is the number of false realities which are suggested to moderns as an explanation for how the world operates.
Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent, as opposed to that which is only imaginary.
Those who control the world offer many false explanations, stories, narratives, lies and deceptions about the ways modern life functions.
Those who closely examine modern life KNOW that the stories and explanations they are provided are incorrect.
BUT these seekers do not know the truth.
SO, conveniently, other ALTERNATE stories are provided which most of the public would not find convincing, but some of these “seekers-of-truth“–KNOWING that the official stories are wrong–latch onto because they are looking for different answers than what is normally provided.
Many of these ALTERNATE stories have to do with false realities.
In this way, those who choose these stories as their worldview, are deceived using the most basic of everyday actions and concepts.
Some of the most popular “alternate reality” stories suggested by the world’s deceivers are:
1- Reality is nothing more than a dream in which people are trapped.
Sometimes, the dream is dreamed by a third party; sometimes, the dream world is constructed (according to the story) by the being who created this world.
Stories concerning “life is nothing more than a series of dreams” were popular around 2010, when the movie Inception was being heavily promoted.
Again, because these new ALTERNATE stories explain aspects of life BETTER than the stories which are normally told, then they “make more sense” to a number of people looking for different answers.
2- Reality is nothing more than a computer simulation and all of the people are images manipulated by the designer of the program. (This is also called “Reality is The Matrix”–after the Matrix trilogy of movies.)
The series features a cyberpunk story of the technological fall of man, in which the creation of artificial intelligence led way to a race of self-aware machines that imprisoned mankind in avirtual reality system—the Matrix—to be farmed as a power source. Every now and then, some of the prisoners manage to break free from the system and, considered a threat, become pursued by the artificial intelligence both inside and outside of it.

- 20 years after ‘The Matrix’ hit theaters, another sequel is in the works. Many scientists and philosophers still think we’re living in a simulation.

3- Reality is nothing more than a manufactured set for the world’s biggest TV show. Those who are in the TV show are unaware that they are being filmed and their actions broadcast to the world (or saved on videotape for later broadcast).
This was essentially the plot of the 1998 movie, The Truman Show.

4- Other assorted alternate realities suggested by those who control the world. All of the suggested stories are deceptions and are provided to the public in order to better control them.

The reader can form some conclusions from all of these many and varied suggestions about reality.
- Many of the suggested realities had heavily-promoted movies to kick off their propaganda campaigns.
- All of the stories are repeated in the media, entertainment, education system and culture. This is a sure way of knowing these stories are propaganda.
- All of the stories address problems which are features of the more traditional stories.
- All of the stories provide alternatives to what is written in God’s Word. As this is the end times, this will grow worse, not better.
There are many, many, MANY other stories which the world suggests might be true.
Perhaps one of these stories–or another not mentioned–have (even for a short while) captured the fancy of the reader?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
