In the previous Parts, we used the King James Bible to dismantle the misinterpretation of the “Firmament” and the “Four Corners.” However, we must ask a more vital question for the student of prophecy: Why now? Why has a disproven ancient cosmology suddenly surged within the Body of Christ? The answer lies not in science or geography, but in the psychological and spiritual preparation for the “lying wonders” of the Antichrist.
1. The Erosion of Objective Truth
The Flat Earth movement operates on a singular premise: Everything you see with your own eyes is a lie, and only a select few have the “hidden knowledge” of the truth. While it is healthy to be skeptical of worldly institutions, this movement often crosses into a form of “gnosticism”—the belief that one is saved by secret information.
When a believer is conditioned to reject plain, observable reality (such as the curvature of the earth or the physics of orbit) in favor of a conspiracy, they become susceptible to the “strong delusion” warned of in 2 Thessalonians:
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, KJV)
2. The Preparation for Lying Wonders
The Bible warns that the coming of the Wicked One will be accompanied by “all power and signs and lying wonders” (2 Thessalonians 2:9).
If a person can be convinced that a global, multi-generational conspiracy has successfully hidden the very shape of the world, they are primed to believe that the supernatural “miracles” of the Antichrist are simply “repressed truths” finally being revealed. The Flat Earth narrative fosters a spirit of distrust so deep that it eventually extends to the sound doctrine of the Church itself, replacing the Gospel of Grace with a Gospel of “The Dome.”
3. The Occult Roots of “Hidden Knowledge”
Many modern Flat Earth proponents have begun to blend biblical terminology with occult or New Age concepts. They speak of “vibrations,” “energy fields,” and the “Book of Enoch” (a non-canonical text) as being equal to or greater than the King James Bible. This is a subtle bridge to the occult roots of modern miracles.
By moving the focus of faith from the Redeemer to the Reservoir (the structure of the earth), the enemy shifts the believer’s gaze downward. We are called to “set your affection on things above” (Colossians 3:2), yet this movement keeps the eyes fixed on the “ice wall” and the “firmament.”
4. The Grand Distraction from the Lord’s Return
The ultimate “lying wonder” is the one that makes the believer miss the actual Return of Christ because they were looking for a different “sign.”
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matthew 24:24, KJV)
The Flat Earth myth is a grand distraction. It consumes the time, energy, and witnessing potential of the believer, turning them into a “map-defender” rather than a Truth-defender. While the world is perishing and the day of the Lord hastens, the enemy would have us arguing over “shadows” and “refraction.”
Conclusion: Standing on the Rock
Our defense is not found in a better map or a deeper conspiracy; it is found in the uncompromised Word of God. The earth is a circle hung upon nothing (Job 26:7), and the Lord who created it is coming back to judge it. Do not let the “lying wonders” of a modern myth rob you of your focus on the King.
Stay vigilant. Stay grounded in the Word. Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
