On April 1 of 2021, a “word of knowledge” in that series of locutions we have called the “1990 Prophecy” (after the year of the first) included the enigmatic phrase: “In the framework of time is the mirage of indulgence. Man has sought to please his senses, leaving none for service and sensitivity to God.” What was meant by that?
Your call.
The passage suggests, perhaps, that humanity currently is trapped in a “mirage of indulgence” whereby the pursuit of sensory gratification has blinded us to spiritual service. In the context of 2026, this offers a piercing critique of our modern era of hyper-consumption, gluttony, digital distraction, and cultish politics.
Oh, the distractions!
A newspaper recently ran an article detailing how A.I. fakery has entered the war with Iran.
Some stark examples are here.
“A torrent of fake videos and images generated by artificial intelligence have overrun social networks during the first weeks of the war in Iran,” said The New York Times. “The videos — showing huge explosions that never happened, decimated city streets that were never attacked or troops protesting the war who do not exist — have added a chaotic and confusing layer to the conflict online.
The newspaper identified over 110 unique A.I.-generated images and videos from the past two weeks about the war in the Middle East.
“The fakes covered every aspect of the fighting: They falsely depicted screaming Israelis cowering as explosions ripped through Tel Aviv, Iranians mourning their dead and American military vessels bombarded with missiles and torpedoes,” it said.
Tehran especially has transformed digital content into potent misinformation.
Remarkable, isn’t it?—how much trouble a superficial, sales-pitched, overindulgent society now has differentiating between “mirage” and reality, reminding us of chimeras on a desert, like the ones Jesus had to see through when, those Forty Days, Satan tried to bombard him with falsity.
According to a study of online activity by the social media intelligence company Cyabra, the vast majority of artificial intelligence videos regarding the war are engineered to promote pro-Iranian perspectives. These synthetic productions frequently rely on falsified imagery to project an exaggerated sense of Iranian military sophistication and superiority, creating a digital veneer of strength that does not reflect reality.
This is also entering politics, and in a big way.
