MASS HYSTERIA
(Numbers 13,14)
Moses sent 12 men into the Promised Land.
He wanted them to go see what the Land looked like.
What kind of people are there?
Are they weak?
Are they strong?
Are there minerals there?
Is the land good for agriculture?
Do they have water bodies?...

Moses sent 12 men into the Promised Land.
He wanted them to go see what the Land looked like.
What kind of people are there?
Are they weak?
Are they strong?
Are there minerals there?
Is the land good for agriculture?
Do they have water bodies?...
Is it flat?
Is it hilly?
Whatever the land is like, go find out & come tell us.
They entered the Promised Land clandestinely.
They were spies, they did not want to be caught.
They knew it was a dangerous mission.
They came back after 40 days...

They knew it was a dangerous mission.
They came back after 40 days...
They faced a Judicial Panel to explain what they saw in the Promised Land.
“What we saw? We streamed it live on Instagram- didn’t you see it? We posted many pictures on Social Media! There were GIANTS there! They were at least 10 feet tall!
“What we saw? We streamed it live on Instagram- didn’t you see it? We posted many pictures on Social Media! There were GIANTS there! They were at least 10 feet tall!
They saw us as grasshoppers & indeed we looked like grasshoppers compared to them!”
Moses shifted on his seat.
He was a bit uncomfortable because he had indeed seen the pictures on Social Media.
But he knew they were all fake...

The men they said was 10 feet tall was not more than 6 feet 4 inches.
The Instagram livestream had more questions than answers.
Unfortunately, Social Media is not something you can control: the people saw the videos & pictures & were already in a frenzy!

A mass hysteria had already taken over the people!
“So, you people want to kill us here!
Wouldn’t it have been better we died in Egypt?
Why has God brought us out here to fall prey to these giants?
Is it not better we return to Egypt?
Our Leaders want to destroy us!

Our Leaders want to destroy us!
We have lost confidence in this administration!
They want to Islamize & Fulanize us!
Let us go back to Egypt!
Things were better under Pharaoh GEJ!”
Joshua & Caleb were part of the 12 man team that went to spy the Land.
But they saw things differently...

Joshua & Caleb were part of the 12 man team that went to spy the Land.
But they saw things differently...
They were not carried away by the mass hysteria.
They were more logical & less emotional.
“No, folks! Things are not as you’re seeing it! These pictures & videos were doctored! We can take the Land- there are no giants there!”
But the mob would not listen...

But the mob would not listen...
They threw insults & curses at Joshua & Caleb. They threatened them.
They even started a few hashtags on Social Media:
#MosesMustGo!
#MosesResign!
#MosesHasBeenABadBoy!
They later turned their anger on Aaron: Why is he still there as the Vice President? He should resign!

If he doesn’t resign, he will go down as a man who supported tyranny & stood against the people!
The people were just frustrated, throwing tantrums like children.
The irony is, they were frustrated not because they chose to believe the report of the 10 & ignore the 2...

They just didn't like Moses as the Leader.
The narrative of the Instagram livestream & CNN just strengthened their resolve against Moses.
They bandied the stories as true- even when there were obvious loopholes in them.
Many of the social media posts have been proven to be fake.

However, a few of the people chose to believe Joshua & Caleb.
They saw things differently too.
The stories just didn't add up for them.
“We can take out these folks’, they said. “We don’t believe the Instagram livestream & the CNN report!”
The mob turned on them like rabid dogs!

The mob turned on them like rabid dogs!
But rather than engage in a debate with facts & figures, with evidences & proof, they resorted to insults, curses & threats: “How dare you not believe what we believe!
You’re very stupid!
You’re idiots!
You’re mad!
You're fools!
Your children don’t deserve you as parents!
You’re very stupid!
You’re idiots!
You’re mad!

Your children don’t deserve you as parents!
You will die before your time!
If I had a gun, I’ll put a bullet in your head!
And on and on they went.
The curses, insults & threats were so much, a few of those who didn’t believe the Instagram & CNN reports buckled.
They changed their submissions to flow with the majority.

They changed their submissions to flow with the majority.
They were Celebrities & Influencers among the people & they did not want to lose their popularity.
They get their validation & self worth from public perception, so they follow the majority opinion.
To them, optics is everything: why hold on to an unpopular opinion?

They are supposed to be “Influencers”, influencing the minds & thoughts of society. But in truth, it’s the other way round- society influences them.
Moses & Aaron were amused at the reaction.
Why the curses?
Why the insults?
Why threaten?
Why the mob mentality?

Why the mob mentality?
Because they chose to see things differently? Because they chose to believe differently? Because they don’t think & perceive like you?
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people provoke me?
And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people provoke me?
How long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed them? How long will they be carried away with mass hysteria, emotional drama & noise? When will they learn to be objective & logical?
When will they use their reasoning ability to think things through?
When will they stop being unnecessarily emotional, sentimental & dramatic?”
And Moses responded, “LORD, have mercy on them! They are just ignorant folks who still see Egypt as a better option...

This noise is not about the Promised Land or Giants: They've always had a problem with the leadership style of Aaron & I.
When we face any challenge on our way here, their first reaction is, “If only we had remained in Egypt with Pharaoh GEJ! At least we had onions & garlic!

Dollar was N150!
Fuel was N87 per litre!
They forget they were slaves.
So when the Instagram report came & the Almighty CNN seemed to support it, they went hysterical!
Mass hysteria took over majority of the people!
They don't trust us, that is why they could say what they said:

They didn't acknowledge the manna they ate.
They didn't acknowledge the water from the rock.
They didn't acknowledge the quail they ate.
They didn't acknowledge the Red Sea that parted...

They won't acknowledge the queue-less fuel stations.
They won't acknowledge the 2nd Niger Bridge.
They won't acknowledge the fight against corruption...

As the scripture says, “They're still thinking of where they came from, that's why they want to go back”- Hebrews 11:15.
It’s all an agenda, LORD!
They want to go back to POWER TO THE PEOPLE!”
He/she who has ears to hear, let him/her hear.
Shalom…
