An Age of Mass Delusion

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

A growing tsunami of delusion has swept over the Western world, particularly the United States, in recent decades, reaching massive proportions during the latest presidential election. To be deluded is to be led astray, a condition that can persist for years with dogged intensity, even in the face of strong evidence to the contrary. In psychiatry, delusion is defined as a false, fixed belief, and its effects can be severe, leading to hatred, murder, and warfare. While a single person's delusion may impact only a family or small community, widespread delusions can affect entire nations and instigate catastrophic conflicts. Such mass delusions have occurred globally, often with tragic consequences, diminishing quality of life and fostering fear. America's early encounter with delusion-induced tragedy, the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693, resulted in the hanging of nineteen people and the death of seven others in prison, driven by a collective belief in demon possession. Even today, mass delusion persists, as seen in instances where individuals in high office cling to obvious falsehoods, refusing correction due to deep-seated bias. This mirrors a broader deception, where lies shape perceptions on a grand scale, potentially leading to civil unrest. The ultimate delusion lies in the false identity propagated by the great Dragon, deceiving the world generation after generation, a lie so pervasive that only Jesus Christ has escaped it, and without God's intervention, humanity remains ensnared in this falsehood.
