The Vineyard and The Stage.
Author’s Note. This piece is written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, where demonic voices reveal their strategies for deception, betrayal, and the twisting of faith. None of the characters here are real; they are allegorical, dramatized figures representing the temptations, compromises, and spiritual battles that often hide beneath the surface of public events. The goal is not to accuse actual people but to unveil the way appearances can be manipulated, how truth is muffled by spectacle, and how divine sovereignty continues to unravel the plots of darkness despite their seeming victories.
