like? I don't know. Is that how he begins to devour though?
Does he take a bite of your marriage? Does he take
a bite of your children? What does that look like? What
does he do to get you to curse God? The Bible says he is afoot.

JACK: Well, I want to welcome you to today's program and
I've got to tell you right up front a little bit of
a warning. You might find this content a little bit disturbing.
In fact, when I delivered this message, it disturbed a
lot of people and yet if you pay close attention and listen
carefully and maybe even do some research for yourself
with the Bible open as well, you might realize that we
are in fact living in the daze of deception. In a moment,
you're going to be hearing about a message, biblically based
mind you, but regarding current events, what's going on? You
may or may not be aware that the United States Congress held
hearings regarding those whistleblowers who came forward
regarding the manifestation before the United States
Air Force, the United States Navy, documented footage
coverage of what is now called UAPs. We used to
call them UFOs. And the moment I say UFO, people say,
what? Get out, turn off the tv. I understand, but here's why we
must face this conversation before things get goofy. Number
one, there are things going on that our Congress is now
investigating. There are issues about this investigation that
are so sensitive that those that are bearing testimony have asked
for a secured room. There are things now getting out by
Colonels, Lieutenants, Lieutenant Commanders that are
saying, yes, we aboard this ship. We saw thus and so and yes
in the Air Force at 35,000 feet we've witnessed this. It's now
so much that it's got to be addressed. And what caused me to
speak to you now is the fact that this message that you're
about to hear is in response to what I began hearing pastors
talking about that the biblical view does not agree with. And so
I wanted to bring it to you from Bible open, newspaper open, so
to speak. So this message is to prepare you in your worldview.
So let's dive in to Living in the Daze of Deception.
JACK: Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple
and his disciples came up to show him the buildings
of the temple, and Jesus said to them, do you not see
all these things? That is the temple and the buildings
of the temple. Assuredly I say to you, not one stone
shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown
down. Now, as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came to him privately saying, tell us when will these
things be and what will be the sign of your coming and the end
of the age? And Jesus answered and said to them, take heed that
no one deceives you. Father, we pray that you had open up our
eyes so clear, so clean, so wide, that we would be not
deceived in these last days in Jesus' name and all God's people
said, amen. Amen. You may be seated. So the word deceived,
deception, as we are looking at the daze of deception, little
play on words there. The word in the Greek language means this.
Whatever causes you to wander, it sounds kind of almost
innocent. The word deceived is scary if you think about it.
Nobody, listen, nobody appreciates being deceived.
We're not talking about being tricked by your friends or being
punked or whatever the local thing is about being tricked by
somebody or a stunt. We're talking about a deception that
by nature is of satanic origins. This is not somebody ripping you
off on a contract or something like that that's bad enough. The
whole context demands that its origins of this deception are
satanic in nature and executed by demonic activity. Church
family, the Bible tells us that there's going to be increased
demonic activity in the last days. There's going to be
strange things that go bump in the night increasing in the
world around us. Jesus made that very clear. But that word goes
on to say, to go astray or to be led away, to be deceived is to
become misguided. It means that you were once perhaps on course
or in the truth, but something happened by which listen, you
began to think differently. This is a terrifying thought for
every one of us. Church, listen to this. How do you think right
now? You guys all know A. W. Tozer said that whatever a
person and however a person thinks about God is the most
important thing that they think in life. What is your opinion of
God? What do you know about God? That answer is eternally
relevant. But when we look at deception today, our world is so
full of it that now we tolerate. You and I are tolerating levels
of deception. There's stuff going on, and I know people get
all upset with me and that's their problem. But here's the
thing about deception. We're being deceived by our leaders
and we're okay with it as a nation, it's all right. It's all
right. It's okay. Nobody seems to care. You know what?
Deception, mark it down. I think it matters. Deception flourishes
when there's apathy. If you're apathetic, deception sees that
as a green light to go, now I'm making deception sound like a
person, I'm personalizing it. What I should say is when the
church and culture becomes apathetic, then it is very clear
that demonic activity increases. And this is a global observation
that has always been since time began, that whenever there's a
void, it's quickly filled. And so Jesus has always taught in
the gospels to us that he wants us to be ready and watching.
Church, right? We know this. He says, be watching, be ready.
Watch. You don't know when have the oil in your lamp, that's the
symbol of the Holy Spirit always filled up because you don't know
the hour in which I'm coming, be vigilant, be on guard. Reminds
me of my mom. Was your mom like this? For those of us, maybe
from my generation, which I don't know, I guess I'm partial.
I think it was the best. We used to be able to ride our bikes to
the beach without getting molested. We stayed out late and
we didn't get hurt. Nobody, there was, okay. There was no
pornography, there was no sickness like this stuff we see
in our world today. All we had to do, all we had to do was have
a nickel. So we'd stop at a payphone and call the house and
say, Hey mom, just checking in. It's eight o'clock, it's summer.
I'm good, I'm fine. I'll see you later. But when it was school
time, I can just see my mom saying and doing things like
this. She would make sure my shirt's buttoned up correctly,
shirt's buttoned up, collar, fixing the hair or taking the
food off my face, whatever it is, that is what a mom does.
Now, I'm not being gender insensitive here. I'm just going
to tell you the facts right now. We need moms to make sure that
we're able to get to the school bus or to the school and that we
have actual clothes on and that there's no food hanging off of
our face. One of the things is, okay, your shirt buttoned. Okay,
lemme see your teeth. Lemme see your teeth. So she wants to see
what's inside there and is your zipper up and locked. Zipper up
and locked in the right position. And then she would
turn you around and she would scoot you off either to school
because I would walk to school. Some kids got bused to school,
but you got ready. And thank God for moms, by the way, back in
those times in the 1850s and 60s, why? Because here's what
dad would've done. What are you standing around for? Get on the
bus. You could be there in your underwear with a pork chop
hanging off your face. He doesn't care. Get on the bus.
Thank God for moms, right? They're into detail and I see
Jesus. I see Jesus doing that. I see Jesus kind of looking at us,
straightening the collar. Are you ready? Listen, don't get
into any trouble. Stay out of fights, right? You'll get picked
up. It could be today, but get on out there. And he prepared us
and then he turned us loose. And that's a good thing. And you
need to remember that. That the world that you and I live in
right now, there is a daze of deception, like a fog that is
sweeping over the world right now in the narratives that are
out there from genderism to what we've been experiencing these
last few weeks in our United States Congress. And to help you
kind of get in the mood because we have a tendency to laugh at
these things. But now nobody's laughing. Nobody's laughing
because of congressional testimony. So we have to answer
the things that you're going to deal with tomorrow at work from
the Bible here on a Sunday so you can be ready for Monday.
Does that make sense? And that's the spirit in which I'm bringing
this to you. And of course I'm talking about this incredible
global explosion of people talking about things that
they're seeing in the skies. The percentage is in the thousands
of how many people have come forward to say, I was on
deployment in Canada in the north, or I was in South
America, I was running special ops in Guatemala, or I'm a
Russian aviator, or I am a Chinese pilot, literally
airline, you name it. And they're saying, what happened in
Congress has opened up the door. I'm going to come forward. Well,
what happened in Congress? We'll look at the next couple of weeks
at snipets of it because it's too long to handle. But what
about the Bible and all this stuff? And if there are things
out there, what are these things and where are they coming from?
That's what people are asking. And by the way, not everybody's
being shy about answering it. And that has been the real push
about me dealing with it today because there are pastors that
are announcing that whoever or whatever these things are,
they're coming from other planets that God has created and
they haven't fallen. They're not sinful. So they're here to help
us. So this whole thing, ever since Roswell, New Mexico, back
in the forties, whatever, all this kind of stuff, little green
men walking around, all this stuff has been the parts of
movies and jokes and all this stuff. The Bible says that in
the last days there's going to be things that are unexplainable
and Jesus warned us that we better be vigilant and we better
be believing in the word of God because he said that if it were
possible, even God's very elect would be deceived. Now, I don't
know what you think about what deception looks like. You think
it like deception comes. Is it like an Amazon package where it
arrives at your door and it says fragile? Does it say this end
up? I think by nature of deception it might look
fantastic, but it's the opposite or it might look benign, but
it's dangerous, whatever it might be. When you are deceived,
notice the very act of deception that is placed upon you mislead
you to believing that you were either going down the right
path, signing the correct contract, or doing the correct
thing, and then you woke up to find out that you were deceived
by nature. Deception looks good. It looks good. I encourage all
of you to read. It's not a big read. You should read it. It's
called The Art of War by Sun Tzu. You should read this.
There's many great quotes about deception, but his big thing
about deceiving your enemy is the key to winning the war.
Number one, he says, get your enemy to believe that you're not
at war with him while you're warring against him. He says,
for example, when you are near to your enemy, make him think
that you're far and when you are far from your enemy, make him
think you're near. When you're strong, have him make you think
you're weak. And when you're weak, have him think you're
strong. He said, by this manipulation of confusion, you
deceive and he said, the greatest victories are won when
you never go to war. He said, you can defeat your enemy by
deception without ever invading. And I think Satan knows that
very well. I think we live in an age where it's obvious to me
that a lot of satanic repeats are happening. Jesus said, in
the last days, you'll know that you're in the last days because
you've got to go back into history to the days of Noah and
you study. Jesus said what it was like in the days of Noah,
and then you'll know how soon my coming will be. You say, Jack,
where are you going with this? I'm going to just get the
toothpaste out of the tube right now. I do not believe in aliens.
I don't believe in other planets being populated. I don't believe
in things flying from distant places just to make a movie. I
don't believe that. What I do believe in is fallen angels and
demonic activity. Why? Because the Bible teaches it. You say,
well, what's the correlation? Thank you for asking. The
correlation is to deceive. When you read your Bible, it proves
that Pharaoh's magicians could take sticks and turn them into
snakes. It proves that Satan, by the way, can mimic and duplicate
and replicate miracles. The Bible says, Jesus said, and the
last day, Satan will be able to do miracles that are lying
wonders and deceiving signs, miraculous false leading signs
performed by demonic powers. But if you, listen, but if you are
going to deceive your enemy, the last thing you do is you do not
announce that you are a demonic power. And I'm just saying we're
just right now, we're being one big family right now talking
about this issue that is now sweeping the globe in
conversation and hosted in Congress, and now deeper
congressional and senator, senate meetings are going to be
taking place because of what has happened and what's happening.
Here's the deal. Someone's got to explain the physics as we
know it as to what's going on, and nobody has agreed, nor does
anybody say any longer that things are traveling great
distances from very foreign places to come here to show up
because we now have the technology both on this planet,
in our atmosphere and in space to detect something coming
millions of miles away. Did you know that? That's how we know
about asteroids. That's how we know how to send a missile out
into space to deflect an asteroid. So where are these
things coming from? Well, the Bible's got the answer. These
things are not traveling on a linear physic type of thinking.
These things enter and they the exit. Pilots tell us that it
appeared and then it disappeared. Jesus noticed this
when Jesus was ministering on earth. Noticed satanic powers,
demonic powers appeared and then disappeared. Noticed that good
angels appeared and disappeared. Did they not? Think about the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. What happened? God sent two
angels down to those cities to destroy them. Do you remember?
You read that in your Bible? And those who, the men who lived in
that city, cities it said wanted to have sex with them because
they thought they were visitors, not aliens, they had never been
with those guys before. So they said they knocked on Lot's door,
almost tore the door down and said, those two men who came
into your house today, give them to us. We want them. And
pathetic Lot says, take my virgin daughters instead. They
didn't want them. They wanted the guys. Sodom and Gomorrah.
You can read about in your Bible. The Bible says that at
one point it was so hostile and violent that the angel stuck out
his hand out through the door and blinded those men that were
trying to reach in. That's a case where angels look just like
you and I, but they had come to rescue Lot. I want you to
remember that in your thinking. What do we know for sure as
Christians? We know that we're 2000 years from the birth of the
church to this moment. We know from the things that are going
on around our world in many ways, including most
importantly, the rebirth of the nation, Israel that we're living
in the last days. We know that there are prophetic markers
starting to rise. The Soviet Union is no longer the Soviet
Union. It's now Russia exactly as the book of Ezekiel said it
would be in the last days, not the Soviet Union. It would have
to be Russia. Jesus said, watch out when the nations of the
world begin to talk about wars and rumors of wars. Might I add
that Jesus did not have access to the internet or Google or
Alexa. How did Jesus know that at the end, one of the markers
would be the constant threat of global war? How did Jesus know
that? Because he was God in skin. What do we know for sure
in 2 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 11, the Bible says, lest Satan
should take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his
devices. You know the Bible commands us not to be fooled by
Satan's abilities. The Bible tells us that Satan is like a
lion, like a lion roaming around your life. You, right here, It
doesn't matter what you believe. If you're hearing my voice now,
Satan tries to approach your life roaming around like a lion
seeking to devour you. What does that look like? I don't know.
But listen, is that how he begins to devour though? Does he
take a bite of your marriage? Does he take a bite of your
children? What does that look like? What does he do to get you
to curse God? But the Bible says he is afoot. I don't believe in
the Bible. Then he's really got you duped because Jesus did. And
then there's demonic activity. There's no record in the Bible
where a fallen angel or a holy angel possessed a human being.
But there is overwhelming evidence in the Bible where a
demon possesses a human being or an animal. What's going on here?
What do we know for sure? We know that God has warned us in
advance that in the last days there's going to be deception so
great that unless you're protected by God's word, you
will be fooled.
JACK: Well listen, in scripture we're called, especially pastors
are called to be watchmen on the wall. That means when
we see something, we say something, it means that we
blow the trumpet of warning. So yes, of course I'm running
a risk of being you know crazy to bring up this topic,
and yet it's on that frontline news. It's a hard message
to handle. It's a hard message to give, but it's got to be
absolutely addressed through a biblical worldview lens. So
friends, listen on the inside of us, we need to know always
the foundational truth of God's word. We must be aware
of the deceptive acts and movements that are around us.
We need to be eyes wide open. And so this should bring you
and I great comfort to know that Jesus told us that in
the last days there would be manifestations of deception
that you and I need not be deceived. So friends,
this is a very important time. So listen, as always, please
continue to visit with us, or you can meet up with us at
JackHibbs.com. There's material there. There's more teaching,
there's dialogue there, and we would love to hear from you. You
can follow us on the various social media platforms, Facebook
and Instagram and the like. But remember this, make sure that
you have repented of your sins because Jesus Christ died for
them. But for you to benefit from them, you must accept him
as Lord and Savior. Jesus doesn't want anything else from
you but your entire life, he loves you and he wants you to be
prepared for heaven. So get ready, friends, because we're
living in the daze of deception.
