Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:13
"But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."
Commentary:
This verse speaks directly to tactics based in deception and manipulation. In Taiwan, people experience the tangible pressure and confusion from organized influence operations—that’s not an abstract concern. Large-scale information warfare makes it harder for truth to be recognized or trusted. Scripture’s warnings about widespread deception in the last days are playing out as technology amplifies the reach and subtlety of such efforts. These developments don’t take place in a vacuum; rather, they echo patterns the Bible says will increase globally as nations maneuver toward their own purposes.
Prophetic Trend:
Sophisticated influence operations are intensifying, reflecting the prophetic increase in deception as world powers contend for alignment and loyalty.
