Think of life as an onion of sorts. Not everything is as you perceive it with the naked eye. There are things hidden under each layer you peel off. When we say we are battling powers and principalities, we are referring to those dark angels that we are unable to see. We also are unaware most of the time of the deception placed upon us by those that have succumbed to the dark forces.
You'd be surprised at the enormous amount of information and technology that has been hidden from us for a very long time. Many churches to this day are subjected to the contract, the [501(c) (3)], they signed with the government, that keeps them from discussing politics, keeping the members uninformed of what is really going on. They have essentially sold themselves in order to keep from paying taxes.
We live at a time where everything is topsy-turvy, where good is now bad, and bad is good. But on the positive side, the veil has started to open, and the masses are beginning to wake up to what has transpired throughout the centuries. And it isn't pretty. So much corruption and evil has taken place, and I cannot help but wonder how this world would be if the church hadn't allowed themselves to be bound by silence. Yeshua told us in Matthew 6:26 "So do not be afraid of them. For nothing is concealed that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be made known." We are living in those times now.
The main message to take from this is that if we know that we have been lied to throughout our lives, for centuries, then logic dictates that we should throw everything we have been taught right out the window, and rediscover truth through our own studies. We need to not only discover truth in the world, but also within the spiritual realm. Not everything learned from the pulpit has been true. And since the Council of Nicea decided to dictate what goes into the scriptures and what to omit, it might behoove us to study not only what we have, but the lost books as well, and use our own discernment, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to find our truth in the spirit as well.
