As prophesied in the inspired Word, we have been deceived and led astray. The deception started long, long ago but is still very relevant today as it causes us to participate in idolatry without being aware. This revelation is a small piece to a much larger puzzle but does serve a purpose. The text is responsible for highlighting a few key pieces of evidence and tracing the deceit in such a way that others are able to also see it for themselves. This is a call for repentance.
