I was reading the Word the other day, and asked the Lord, "Does the Word refer to conspiracies?"  All at once, I began to see a conspiracy in the beheading of John the Baptist. I saw the conspiracy of the Pharisees who tried to kill Jesus. I saw the conspiracy of trumped up unfounded charges against our Lord, and a kangaroo court that broke their own Mosaic law by trying him at night.
    I saw the conspiracy between Judas and his Saviour. I saw the conspiracy of the money he had been paid -- 30 pieces of silver for his Master's blood. I saw the conspiracy of the Jews, who said someone came and stole his body in the middle of the night (in which the story still circulates today). I saw conspiracy after conspiracy. Who says the Bible does not speak of them? If they were occuring in Jesus time, then how much more in these last days?
