The men that killed Jesus had an immaculate image of themselves as temple priests, or as priests of God. To kill the Lord, they hid behind their immaculate image and broke Jewish Law---the very law they were supposed to uphold---and they persuaded Pontius Pilate to be their executioner.
Such are the ways of evil men when consumed by pride, for they believe they are gods among people.
The leaders of the world today project immaculate images of themselves, dressed in fancy suits and priestly garments. Their personality characteristics are the same as the men that killed Jesus. They want people to believe in the image they present as they appear to be and not to know them as they really are in their secret world behind closed doors and out of the public's eye. They are masters of deception, just as the Devil is the god of deception. They live double lives.
Like the temple priests in Jerusalem, the leaders of the world today view themselves as sitting above the commandments of God, or as supreme gods of the earth to control and dominate the lives of people. They want the world to trust in them and not to trust in God.
Not only do world leaders project an immaculate image, so do hypocrites within religions. They also live double lives.
They spend their lifetimes presenting an image of themselves from within their corrupted imaginations, for their minds have been transformed by the power of Satan: for their image has been built in them by their ministers and priests from the dark world of Witchcraft. They do not know who they are, or who they are supposed to be, because their lives are fake reality; for their minds were captured when they were young children, and now, as adults, they are marching robots for Satan, or as puppets on strings---while believing they are on their way to Heaven.
As such, they view themselves as perfect in all their ways and full of wisdom.
Believing that their religion has forgiven them from all their sins and cleansed them from all unrighteousness, they see themselves as saints and not as sinners.
Like world leaders, they expect attention when they enter a room. They expect to be noticed. They expect to sit at long tables with the upper crust and sip drinks in tall glasses. They expect people to like them and to shower them with pleasantries, to laugh with them and their silly jokes, and to pat them on their backs. They like attention and they like to be noticed. They like to be invited to special events, for this enables them to feel important---as if the social gathering cannot begin until they arrive.
Hypocrites live in a world of fantasy and make-believe. Nothing is real. Their days of living are as acts of a play, for they are always on stage, and every day is a repeat performance from yesterday, and their tomorrow will be no different than today.
They see themselves as living above others, or walking on air, or walking on water.
They are like dolls in a doll house, or mannequins in a store's display window.
Because they see themselves as perfect in all their ways, they will never admit to making mistakes, nor do they like to be called out for little blunders: for they live according to their own set of commandments, or their own set of rules. Certainly, they do not think of themselves as sinners, for they are above common people.
Because of their perfection, they desire the praises of others.
Because of their deception, they are subtle, they are sneaky, and they are sly.
Because of their hidden anger, they will spew hot lava toward others in private settings, but not necessarily in public places. They do not like for others to disagree with them.
Ezekiel the prophet of God wrote about this immaculate image in the life of Lucifer:
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. (Ezekiel 28: 1; 15-18.)
We should therefore be careful how we view the face in the mirror, for pride is a consuming fire, burning from within, and with the power to scorch the lives of others.
