We are not supposed to be burying our heads in the sand.
By definition "wolves in sheep clothing" are a conspiracy. If you have three or more people working together to commit a crime secretly then that is a conspiracy. Surely we have been warned repeatedly to be on the lookout for this by Paul and Jesus.
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Here we are told that many will try to deceive us. Hence, a conspiracy.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
The Media is designed to manipulate you, but they are only one arm of the conspiracy. The government, the intelligence community pulls the strings on the media, they leak these "rumors of war" and in order to have a real war you have to have an army. Again, by definition this is a conspiracy.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
These are all part of the process. Prior to fighting a war armies will typically try to wipe out the food supply and cause a famine. This is how the US government fought against the Native Americans, they hired people to kill Buffalo with repeater rifles. If they could wipe out the food supply of the Native Americans they would defeat them. Again, a conspiracy.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Who is Jesus referring to by "they"? Family, friends, coworkers, police, judicial system. Again, we would call this the "deep state", also a conspiracy.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Once again this term "many" means this is a conspiracy. We are in a spiritual war, we are not supposed to be ignorant, why would any genuine Christian advise other Christians that it is better to be ignorant of Satan's devices? We are not supposed to be burying our heads in the sand.
