CONSPIRACY VS. CONFEDERACY
Chris discusses a common reference to Isaiah chapter eight, which is said to warn Christians not to listen to “conspiracies” or conspiracy theories. At least one teacher has revived this teaching over the current Coronavirus controversy. But is this interpretation of Isaiah 8:12 accurate? We point out that the King James translators chose the word “confederacy” for this same passage, and yet, used the word “conspiracy” in Ezekiel chapter 22, where God is clearly warning about a conspiracy of false prophets who are said to be devouring the souls of men. What is the difference? And how does it impact our understanding in matters of discernment about world events around us?
