The Prophet denounces falsehood as one of the causes of the downfall of the nation. And justly so. To say that darkness is light and light darkness, that sweet is bitter and bitter sweet, etc., is to take a stand of opposition to our Lord, who in his life, in his very existence, was, and is, the embodiment of Truth. The great mystery of Pilate, which, some say, has come down through the centuries as an unanswered question, was anticipated by our Lord, when he declared, "I am the way, the truth and the life," and when he added, "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me," (50). It is he that is in the sun, the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, and human intelligence, the immensity of space, and in all things. The perversion of truth, be it in religion, in politics, in business, or in family and social circles, in the pulpit or the press or radio, on the rostrum or the soap box, is really warfare against Him, to whom has been given all power in heaven and on earth.
