MANHOLE COVERS

   In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve believed that the words of the serpent were true just because of his appearance, and they cast their vote.
   How easily do we make choices because of the way things appear to be?
   Every day, we are being tricked by the things we see and by the things we hear.
   Every day, we are being tricked by people in government and by people in religion.
   Every day, government wants us to believe what government believes, and, every day religion wants us to believe what religion believes.
   In the garden of Eden, the serpent gained two converts because he tricked Adam and Eve to convert to his way.
   Every day, government wants to gain converts to its way, and, every day religion wants to gain converts to its way.
   Government and religion operate just like the serpent in the garden of Eden, and by the very appearance of men in fancy suits and priestly garments, we can easily be deceived to believe that their words are true.
   Lurking behind the walls of government and the walls of religion is an evil that we do not see with our eyes, nor hear with our ears; but evil is there, being executed through the minds of men in fancy suits and priestly garments, the very people we trust because of their appearance.  They appear to be so honest and trustworthy, in fact, that we would invite them to our homes for dinner and believe that they are role models for our sons and daughters---not knowing that these men are cold-blooded killers, who send trained assassins to do their bloody work.
   Knowing this, there are people with the knowledge of secrets about the people in government and religion that the people of government and religion do not want people to know.  Such people are then eliminated by deaths that are said to be "natural causes" or "accidents"---without leaving a trace of evidence that would suggest foul play.
   This story today is nothing new; for the modus operandi of men in government and men in religion has been a story of secrecy for thousands of years.  For out of this same system came men who killed Jesus of Nazareth, and they were dressed in fancy suits and priestly garments, and they were people who appeared to be honest and trustworthy.
   If people will take the time to study government and religion and look behind the walls, they will discover the truth by removing the manhole covers and look inside at the darkness that dwells beneath---instead of continuing to be tricked by things as they appear to be, and by people by their appearance.
      Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  (Second Timothy 2: 15)
