Delusion

I asked God how delusion might ultimately be defined.

The answer surprised me, but seems to fit:
Delusion is that which God does not allow to manifest.

Isaiah 8:12
Do not call conspiracy
    everything this people calls a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,
    and do not dread it.

Conspiracy is an interesting term in this context, because God can just as easily turn what is called reality into delusion as what is called delusion into reality. In doing this to a conspiracy, the bonds between individuals would be broken in the process, reminding me of chemical bonds and fission. It reminds me of "The Greatest and Least seats change places."

I am seeing an object representing all, and it stretching to the limit. At the limit, its rules change such that it begins to contract. This feels like a limit where prophecy persists and cements into fact. Up until this juncture, calling a prophet delusional is essentially placing a bet, as indicated here:

Deuteronomy 18:20-22
"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”

You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

So, until a prophet's words can be proven true or false, it is a bet to act for or against them. Here is the wager, in parable form:

Mark 12:1-12
Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

“He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

“But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.

It is surprising to me how liberally this term "Denison" is thrown around, as if we can turn one zero to a one or one one to a zero without God's permission. Simply a product of our perception, perhaps, being within the system~ the delusion of delusion's control.
