As the title of this article suggests, there are numerous dangerous delusions circulating on planet Earth. Each one is designed by Satan to draw the focus of Human Beings away from merciful God who created them and away from His free offer of eternal salvation through belief in Jesus Christ, and fool them into fully believing in some narrative that is utterly false and antichrist in one way or another.
All false theologies, ideologies, political narratives, pseudo-sciences, and godless liars of any kind are dangerous. Some, however, are more dangerous than others.
In this article, let’s discuss some of the most dangerous, deadly delusions that plague mankind and are relentlessly tempting naïve, foolish people into marching (like mindless lemmings) straight off the proverbial cliff and down to the hell below.
Some of the most insidious delusional isms are these.
Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Wokeism, Atheism, Satanism, Islamism, and all of their ism offshoots. Hinduism and Buddhism may be less insidious yet just as delusional. There are Bible scholars who might also include Catholicism on this list due to its bloody history and so many blatantly unbiblical doctrines that lead people astray.
Many more recent dangerous heretical delusions oozed out onto the world stage in the mid-1800s.
Joseph Smith and Mormonism, Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, Charles Taze Russel and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore with the Unity School of Christianity, and Ernest Holmes of Religious Science, are just a few examples of more recent delusions perpetuated by charismatic false prophets.
Charismatic false prophets who unwittingly or possibly wittingly fell into personally interpreting scripture to their own destruction (2Peter 3:16) and dragging thousands of the naïve along with them on their ill-fated journey. A journey that would supposedly lead to God, but instead, would lead in quite the opposite direction.
Interestingly, upon occasion, an L. Ron Hubbard will come along as L. Ron himself did in the mid-20th century to make a statement such as, “If you want to become rich, start your own religion.” Hubbard, a fiction writer by trade, then penned his greatest work of fiction called Dianetics, and through this delusional work of pseudo-science, Scientology was born.
As there seems to be no shortage of naïve souls in this world who are searching for truth in all the wrong places and willing to pay handsomely to not find it, Hubbard then did become exceedingly rich.
Other somewhat lesser-known cult of personality founders like David Moses and Norm Paulsen, of such cults as the “Children of God” and the “Brotherhood of the Sun,” would come along in the early 1970s and follow Hubbard’s example of using charisma along with an off-beat yet unique vision to fatten their own bank accounts at the expense of sincere but naïve seekers.
The two isms, however, that stand out as the most dangerous and are causing the lion’s share of the damage and fear-mongering today across our beloved little planet are Marxism and Islamism.
These two worldwide cults, each numbering in the multi-hundreds of millions, often work together to forward their goals of conquest.
The huge irony of this is, the two belief systems are not only not on the same page, but quite literally not even from the same book.
Those two books, of course, are The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and The Quran by Muhammad.
A common goal between the two is to bring down the Western world and everything that goes with it, including Western political systems, economic systems, theological systems and beliefs (especially Judaism and Christianity), and freedom of any kind.
The Marxists and the Muslims share a seething hatred of Jews, Christians, and freedom, along with a relentless and insatiable lust for power.
Both groups, although one is atheistic and the other fanatically religious, manifest an all-consuming desire to control every aspect of the lives of every human person on planet Earth.
Both of these massive cults glorify death. One glorifies death primarily through abortion, euthanasia, and making idiotic and sometimes intentional political decisions that lead to many people dying. The other through jihad, the glorification of martyrdom, and just flat-out cold-blooded murder.
It is not the least bit of a stretch to classify the godless Marxists and the false-god worshipping Islamists as death cults.
If this scenario were to play out to the point where only the two of them were left, without doubt, they would then seek to annihilate each other. When it came down to who would rule the world, both belief systems, being utterly incompatible and equally inflexible, would demand a winner-take-all scenario.
Fortunately, we know through biblical prophecy that this won’t happen.
Although here and now, in the year 2025, both the Marxists and Muslims are imposing their dangerous, deadly, delusional ways upon the world at large as well as forming alliances of convenience with each other, some of which appear to be fulfillment of ancient prophecies.
For example, the Russians, led by Putin, teaming up with the fanatical Islamic Mullah tyrants of Persia, aka Iran. Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 speak of this and much more.
In all fairness to the Catholics and the Mormons, and perhaps several other “Christian” cults with unbiblical theological beliefs, and even Muslims, there are undoubtedly some who belong to Jesus among them in spite of the warped theology originally invented by the founders and perpetuated by the present cult leadership. If that is the case, Jesus knows who these believers are and all about whatever circumstances may have trapped them inside of those cultic walls.
One major issue that makes the Marxists and the Muslims stand out from the rest is their willingness to use extreme violence to force their beliefs on others.
One possible exception is the Catholic church during the Dark Ages, which, behind Jesuit guidance, used torture and murder to methodically impose its will on all who refused to willingly comply with the dictates of the popes.
The Marxists and the Muslims each have no problem murdering lots and lots of people. No qualms at all.
History proves this to be true over and over and over again.
Marxists Joseph Stalin of Russia and Chairman Mao of China, for example, were each responsible for the cold-blooded murders of tens of millions of fellow human beings that would not bow down to them.
Combined, and by most counts, close to 100 million people were executed, deposited in ditches, and covered with dirt by bulldozers.
Those two (Stalin and Mao) murdered far more people than even Jew-hating Adolph Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany, or Mussolini, the murderous fascist dictator of Italy during the World War 2 era. Or, cold-blooded genocidal murderer Pol Pot of Cambodia in the late 1970s.
History also reveals that Muhammad, in his quest to spread Islam throughout the Middle East in the seventh century AD, personally murdered hundreds of people (some say thousands) and set the example that has been followed ever since to conquer and convert at the sharp edge and point of a sword.
Of course, his followers no longer use swords because now they have guns and missiles and other modern weapons.
Although they do use swords to slice off the heads of people whom they consider to be infidels.
Muslims will also use deceit quite effectively as a weapon by following the example set by the founder of Islam. Muhammad used deceit as a strategy to buy time when rebuilding his troops after a setback or a defeat, as he sought to spread Islam through force and violence in the 7th century.
The Muslims who commit barbaric acts often film such atrocities, such as beheadings, and then gleefully share the videos on social media. The most recent example being Oct. 7th, 2023, when the demons of Hamas murdered, and or raped and tortured over 1,200 innocent Israelis in cold blood and kidnapped a few hundred more, many of which now are either dead or still in captivity to this day.
Included in the butchery were the elderly and infants who were beheaded or burned in microwave ovens, as documented in videos provided by the heartless Hamas butchers themselves.
They did these horrific, evil acts with smiles on their faces and laughter in their darkened hearts. They had a jolly good time executing the cruelest and most demonic work of Satan.
Although they themselves filmed these murders, rapes, acts of torture, and kidnappings, and then posted the videos on social media for the world to see, many of the deluded and reprobate lost souls on the lunatic left refused to believe their own eyes. And will tell you to this day that they claim to have debunked the entire murderous rampage, saying it never even happened. They are convinced that the Israelites just made the whole thing up.
For now, the Muslims are only too happy to have the Marxist useful idiots in their corner.
The Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran (Persia) and his generals have, as we know, vowed numerous times to blow the entire nation of Israel (whom they refer to as the little Satan) off of the world map with nuclear weapons and have threatened the USA (referred to as the big Satan) as well, and with threats to do it as soon as Iran can manufacture such weapons. They also claim to have missiles pointed at every major city in Europe.
As we also know, Donald Trump recently dealt a very large blow to that satanically inspired project by ordering the US Air Force to drop bunker buster bombs in an effort to obliterate the deep underground nuclear facilities of Iran. Since then, the Iranian leadership has doubled down and arrogantly vowed to continue to pursue nuclear weapons based on their relentless ambition to one-up Hitler by wiping out Israel and also murdering every single Jew on the planet.
The Ayatollah Khamenei and his supporters, based on their twisted and delusional theology, continue to bluster and threaten the entire free world.
Like the Leftists, the Islamists double down on their satanic delusions even when their bluffing and lying is exposed. When they are being humbled, they rattle their sabers even louder, it would seem.
The leftist Marxist morons staging protests on many an American college campuses, with no knowledge of history or much of anything else, and who are often bankrolled by rogue leftist billionaires such as Soros, and cheered on by Deep State swamp creatures, eagerly join in with the genocidal Muslim death chant, “From the river to the sea, all of Palestine shall be free.”
Even a group that calls itself “Queers for Palestine” joins in the protests, carrying anti-Israel signs in support of Muslim Jew-hatred.
These ignorant and quite deluded alphabet people seem to have no clue at all that if they were to go to most any hardcore Islamic nation and openly declare themselves to be gay, they would be promptly hurled off the nearest tall building.
In America, as of the year 2025, the vast majority of violent acts, such as mass shootings and bombings, are committed either by insane Marxist/Leftists who have willingly but unknowingly volunteered to become puppets of the evil globalists or by Muslim/Jihadists who have imported their ugly ways to the USA.
Although some of the murderous violence and many rapes have been perpetrated by criminal illegal aliens who crossed the southern border with Mexico. Many of these border crossings were also financed and orchestrated by the Globalist elite as part of their plan to destroy Western values and pave the way for the antichrist.
Thousands of these bad people were and are criminals from South America and other countries who were dumped on the USA by their own corrupt governments and then welcomed into America under the corrupt regime of a senile lost soul by the name of Joe Biden.
Career politician Joe Biden, who happened to be controlled by the communist/Islamist/adopted son of Soros named Barry Sotero, aka Barack Obama, and his loyal band of traitorous Globalist/Marxist lunatics.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean in several European nations, there are Muslim rape gangs that roam the streets in search of women and young girls to inflict their filthy barbarism upon.
The police in these European nations give these Islamist rapists free rein and are much more likely to arrest the victims for fear of being labeled Islamophobic.
Political correctness that is embraced by the “woke left,” combined with Islamic propaganda designed to paint themselves as the victims, has allowed this insanity to flourish in Europe as young women and girls pay a cruel and horrible price due to the spinless stupidity of European leftist politicians and their open border policies.
Trump and his team are doing what they can here in America to battle the insidious evil that the Marxists and the Muslims relentlessly assault modern society with, but it is a gargantuan task, and many European nations seem to have already gone over the edge and have reached the point of no return.
The same could be said for England, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Although Trump seems to be very aware of the Globalist/Deep State/Marxists/Leftists and the evils they have perpetrated, he also seems to be less aware of the progress being made by the Islamists in America and their strategic takeovers of American cities such as Dearborn, Michigan and in Houston, Texas, and the fact that they are not here in the “land of the free” to assimilate but rather to eventually dominate through the implementation of Sharia law.
Although Trump is doing some very good things, Christians should be cautious in thinking he can fix everything. Trump has shown thus far only limited knowledge about Islamic strategies.
Trump has shown that he recognizes the threat of openly declared Jihadists but has displayed, at least so far, a limited understanding of the Islamic strategy of pretending to assimilate until their numbers are great enough to actually take over a city, impose Sharia law, and create no-go zones for non-Muslims.
Trump also recently revealed his lack of understanding about who Jesus really is and the main purpose Jesus came to this earth. Trump stated that he wants to go to heaven and thinks the way to get there is by doing good. With all of Trump’s Christian advisors, one would hope that one of them might explain to the president the meaning of John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:9.
There is so much evil in the world and so many dangerous, deadly delusions, so much deceit on every level permeating all aspects of society, that, quite frankly, it has become so overwhelmingly obvious to believers in Jesus that only Jesus has the power to fix it all.
Trump and Netanyahu and their teams are doing what they can to fix some of the mess, and there are a handful of other national leaders on their side, but the bottom line is this: God is in control of His creation and His prophetic timeline.
He lets some things happen but delays or prevents other things from happening at all or until it is time for them to happen.
World events and headlines may appear to be so evil and chaotic that it is tempting to question whether God is really in control at all, but that in itself is a satanic delusion.
God is fully in control of His creation here on the tiny little planet we call Earth and throughout the entire universe.
The creation was spoken into existence by Jesus (John 1:1) who walked on water, calmed raging storms with a mere word, changed water into wine, healed all manner of sickness and deformities, raised the dead to life, died for our sins, and was Himself raised from the dead and ascended to heaven before many witnesses (Acts 1:9-11).
He was in control of His creation before He took on a human form, and He still is to this very day.
Jesus will remain in control as the time approaches for the Rapture and for the seven-year tribulation period culminating in His promised return, and He will continue to be in control through His 1,000-year-long reign on Earth (Revelation 20:1-7) and on through His creation of a new Heaven and a new Earth.
Jesus will in fact, be in control of His creation, through the endless realms of all eternity. (Revelation 21:1-7)
In other words, He has always been in complete control of His creation, and He always will be. Always, as in forever and ever without end.
To sum up this article about dangerous delusions and their insidious assault upon this world and the people that inhabit it, as a watcher saved by grace and a student of biblical prophecy, I will conclude this article with these words of encouragement.
No matter how bad things appear to be, and no matter how many dangerous delusions are hurled at us by Satan and his vile spawns, believe in Jesus Christ with all of your heart 100%.
Only He has the power to fix the massive mess that humans have created by following Satan and his demons and believing their lies.
Jesus has the supernatural power to put an end to every dangerous delusion and to fix every aspect of the entire nightmarish fiasco we observe daily here on Earth, and we have His Word that He will do just that (Matthew 24:22).
According to the signs that Jesus Himself gave to us, as well as the many signs given by the Old and New Testament prophets that He inspired, the time is at hand. “Like in the days of Noah” and “As in the days of Lot” are upon us (Luke 17:26-30).
Be encouraged by the words spoken by Jesus in Revelation 3:10.
“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”
May our faith in Him be unshakeable, and may we comfort each other with these words.
“And when these things began to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh” (Luke 21:28).
Your friend in Jesus, our precious Lord and Savior,
