CONSPIRACY THEORY? – The RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST?
Our world is seeing yet another repeat performance of the timeless devices and techniques used by Satan himself. ECCLESIASTES 1:9; “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
As the past few years have gone by, I have recognized the same methods, practices, patterns, arrangements, structure, approaches, etc. – being used repeatedly – exactly as they were used during BIBLICAL times. Then, as now, labeling TRUTH as “CONSPIRACY THEORIES” is a critical and essential part of the SPIRITUAL WARFARE taking place! Pay attention and I believe that you will easily see: “What has been” is “again, what has been done” is being “done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
In fact, perhaps the best known “CONSPIRACY THEORY” deception is the one created around The RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!
MATTHEW 28:11-15, While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
PHASE #1: An event took place that posed a great threat to the Ruling Elites. (Praise God, Jesus Rose from The Grave!) But this truth had to be suppressed at all cost; the entire Resurrection Story had to be convincingly labeled as a “CONSPIRACY THEORY.” Already, “THE WOMEN” who had Seen the Risen Lord “WERE ON THEIR WAY” to share the news! Swift & decisive action was required!
Matthew 28:11, While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
PHASE #2: The Elite were not concerned with Truth; they were only concerned with protecting their wealth, power, status, and positions of authority. In their twisted, evil minds, they somehow justified what they had done and what they were about to do. They had to quickly meet with the other Elites and determine a strategy.
Matthew 28:12, When the chief priests had met with the elders …
PHASE #3: Additionally, they were concerned with protecting their own lives! You see, if the Truth got out and was believed, they knew it was possible that some of those who had been duped & deceived would turn against them. All those who had been mislead and had played a role in murdering THE SON OF GOD – THE SAVIOR & MESSIAH – would know they had blood on their hands. To discover that JESUS HAD RISEN would make them all guilty of having innocent blood on their hands. And the Elites knew that maybe, a once deceived mob, might become outraged and exceedingly angry; the same people who they had used for evil purposes, just might decide to administer their version of justice?!
It was a serious situation. The Elites needed to safeguard their lives while protecting their wealth, power, status, & positions of authority. The Solution? They would formulate a comprehensive PLAN; YES, there had to be a PLAN!
Matthew 28:12, When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan …
PHASE #4: At the heart of the PLAN would be the “NARRATIVE.” So, they develop the “NARRATIVE” – the Big Lie; JESUS DID NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD – HIS BODY WAS STOLEN! Undoubtedly, they applauded their brilliant deception. They agree that anyone who speaks the Truth will be labeled a “CONSPIRACY THEORIST” – labeled as one who is promoting a “CONSPIRACY THEORY” Lie.
Matthew 28:13 … telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’”
PHASE #5: They had to circle the wagons – there had to be rock-solid unity. The Elites had initially met with the Secondary – but very important – Stakeholders; it was essential that everyone be in line with the “NARRATIVE” – with the GRAND LIE!
In order to ensure rock-solid unity, these Secondary Stakeholders had to become a part of the inner-circle, at least to a degree. And so, they were offered & given a degree of wealth (and no doubt, promises of promotions, increased power, and status, etc.)
Matthew 28:12, … they gave the soldiers a large sum of money …
PHASE #6: And a point often missed is that they made it clear that they would protect the Secondary Stakeholders … that they would support them with their influence, connections, wealth (bribes). They must feel that if anyone questioned them or put them at risk – the Elites had their backs! (NOTE: This was actually a thinly veiled threat; they were making sure the Soldiers knew that “they had skin in the game” – knew their lives hung in the balance – knew they could not only be punished – but might die!)
Matthew 28:14, If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.
PHASE #7: Once the “NARRATIVE” was fully developed and all the Primary and Secondary Stakeholders could recite the GRAND LIE in a Flawless Manner – they relied heavily on Peer Pressure – on the Majority being unwilling to stand up & voice an independent /informed thought. Afterall, who wants to be known as the Crazy “CONSPIRACY THEORIST” in the community?
Matthew 28:15, So the soldiers took the money and did
as they were instructed.
PHASE #8: Furthermore, they relied on the reality that the Majority of those in the area had long been accustomed to relinquishing “Critical Thinking.” The Elites understood the mindset of the Majority. The Masses usually felt that it took far too much effort to examine the Truth and the Facts for themselves; it was far easier to allow the Elites to define Truth and Reality – there were many who had exchanged the uncomfortable burden of taking responsibility for determining the Truth – in exchange for living a carefree life. “Hey, let the Elites think for us; this will let us live happy-go-lucky lives and enjoy a comfortable existence.”
Matthew 28:15, And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
PHASE #9: But nothing could be left to chance. They deployed those who would silence anyone attacking the “NARRATIVE” as being a Lie! Such “CONSPIRACY THEORIST” would be beaten, jailed, and/or murdered! Fear had to be sown into anyone who might questions the NARRATIVE – anyone who might contemplate speaking the Truth.
The entire Book of ACTS: It records the Persecution of those who dared to CALL THE “NARRATIVE” A LIE! ACTS records countless Arrests and Beatings. ACTS records many who were Locked Away In Prison and some of those who were Beaten to Death.
WHY DOES ALL OF THIS MATTER? If for no other reason, just imagine if the Elites had been successful in labeling THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS as A “CONSPIRACY THEORY!” PRAISE GOD for those who Discovered the TRUTH for themselves, Called the THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE a LIE, and SPOKE THE TRUTH!
The RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST – MERELY A “CONSPIRACY THEORY?” ABSOLUTELY NOT; MY SAVIOR LIVES!

I could easily list another 20 Topics being called “CONSPIRACY THEORIES.” But i do not want to overwhelm anyone; I am just praying that some will come to see what is taking place in our nation & our world.
May God give us the conviction to search for truth and the courage to stand for the truth – wherever the path may lead. We are fighting a Spiritual Warfare that is relying heavily on the same methods, practices, patterns, arrangements, structure, approaches, etc. – used repeatedly –as they were used during BIBLICAL times. “What has been” is “again, what has been done” is being “done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
