One of the biggest plot twists in the original Halo trilogy was how the Covenant forces completely misunderstood the true intention of the Halo rings… the Covenant “prophets” were not only misinformed, but they were blindly leading their entire coalition of allies into annihilating the entire universe. Their promise of taking all who followed them on a “Great Journey” into wonders beyond their dreams was built on a convenient collection of misinterpreted half-truths, and through their manipulation they coerced those looking for a greater meaning in their lives into committing to a deceptive false religion that would only result in their own destruction. False prophets indeed…

The most dangerous lies that we contend with in life are those that are intertwined with half-truths by souls who have fallen for their own deception. While they may be sincere in what they believe, they are still sincerely WRONG. Jesus repeatedly warned His disciples about the dangers of false prophets and blind guides who either intentionally prey on the misinformed or accidentally lead their well-meaning followers into destruction. Our only defense against being misled by these flawed interpretations is to hold every message that we hear up to the light of the entirety of Scripture for validation. There’s only two roads in life to choose from, and only the narrow way leads us home.

Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. Romans 16:17-18

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
