All over the internet, many people are talking about a phenomenon called the Mandela Effect. They claim to be having actual memories of certain things, (such as quotes from movies and brand names of popular food items) that do not match up with real life.
For instance, I and many other people remember (or thought we remembered) that the title of "The Berenstain Bears" was spelled with an "e" instead of an "a" in the last syllable, as in "The Berenstein Bears." Many people were certain that it was spelled with a "-stein" ending instead of a "-stain" ending.
(Many people say they remember Curious George with a tail. What really is the Mandela Effect?) |
There are other examples of things that many people were certain of, such as "Jiffy Peanut Butter." The problem is that such a name never existed. It was actually always called "Jif Peanut Butter." But, many people say that they remember seeing "Jiffy Peanut Butter" jars years ago.
Other people remember buying the "Oscar Meyer" brand years ago, but it was always spelled "Oscar Mayer" with an "a" in the "Mayer." It was never spelled "Oscar Meyer."
Another example is from the PBS show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." Many people are certain they remember the first line of the intro song being: "It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.” But, it is actually: "It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood.”
EXPLAINING THE PHENOMENON
Some have come up with strange ideas that we are allegedly in a "parallel" universe in which history is somehow different from the universe we were all born into. Some have connected this idea with speculation that someone, using advanced technology, might have somehow brought us into a "parallel" universe. And, some have theorized that particle accelerators or quantum computers may have brought us into an alternate reality. We will look at this theory later in this article.
But, God, the all-powerful, Almighty Creator of the universe, said these unchanging words in Isaiah 46:9-10 below:
Isaiah 46:9-10
"[9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
[10] Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"
The Almighty God knows the end from the beginning. His counsel shall stand and He shall do all His pleasure. God is not going to allow His creation, including the timeline of history on which we live, to be altered or modified. No human being and no supernatural entities (or demonic creatures) shall be able to alter the timeline God established or the universe He placed us in.
God knows all things. There are no such things as alternate universes with alternate timelines and alternate histories. That is pure fantasy.
The truth is that if we have "memories" of past events or apparent changes, these memories are not hard copies or evidence. They are ideas that many people hold, which are not backed by evidence.
I do not deny that millions of people feel they clearly remember such things as "The Berenstein Bears" instead of "The Berenstain Bears." There are several explanations for this. One is that there are surnames ending in the suffix "-stein" as in "Rubenstein" or "Feldstein," which our minds have subconsciously connected to "The Berenstain Bears." After all, to our minds, "-stein" makes more grammatical sense than "-stain" because the suffix "-stein" is more common than the suffix "-stain."
Another explanation is that false memories were triggered or implanted in our minds by the enemy of our souls, who is the devil.
WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY
First, we will look at what the Bible says regarding the "Mandela Effect."
1 Corinthians 14:33 says: "[33] For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
God does not create or come up with confusion. On the contrary, Jesus said that He is the truth. John 14:6 says: "[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
In John 8:44, Jesus spoke of one who is called the father of lies, the devil, whose name is Satan.
In John 8:44, Jesus Christ said to some evil men: "[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
The devil can deceive people and he does it all the time. The Bible says this about the devil:
2 Corinthians 4:4
"[3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
The devil is called the god, or theos, of this word because he acts as a ruler or magistrate over this world. That is what the word theos basically means in Greek.
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance defines theos (2316), in part, as: "... a magistrate; ..." So, this word doesn't always refer to God Himself.
So, Satan, as the magistrate of this world, is able to deceive the minds of people who do not believe the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. That is what 2 Corinthians 4:4 is saying, but I encourage you to seek God about this, and He will show you the truth.
Even though Satan can blind people, he cannot blind them unless they refuse to believe the truth. God is revealing the truth to each one of us (John 1:9) and if we want to know the truth, all we need to do is seek God and desire to know what really is the truth, and God will reveal Himself to us (Jeremiah 33:3 and Matthew 7:7-11). Jesus Christ, being God the Son, is the only way of salvation and eternal life (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, and 1 Timothy 2:5-6). So, I strongly encourage you to turn to Jesus today. Tomorrow may be too late.
In John 1:9, the Word of God says: "[9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
Jesus gives light to every one who comes into the world. He is giving you light. Seek to know Him, and you will. May God bless you as you seek after Him.

CERN, "ALTERNATE UNIVERSES," AND A.I.
So, the Mandela Effect is nothing more than a clever trick to deceive and confuse many people. The theories of alternate universes and alternate histories falsely place God out of the picture and falsely makes Him out to be nebulous or unconcerned with His creation, which contradicts scriptures, such as Psalm 139. Psalm 139 says that God's thoughts toward people are more than the sands of the sea and that we are wonderfully and awesomely made.
(Quantum computers, CERN, the internet of things (5G), and A.I. will bring in the New World Order. You can read this article in a PDF format here.) |
The theory of alternate histories or alternate universes denies the central fact that God is Sovereign and all-powerful. The Creator God does not bring confusion, and He does not allow His creation to be changed into alternate universes. Again, 1 Corinthians 14:33 says: "[33] For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
CERN (which has particle accelerators), quantum computers, artificial intelligence (A.I.), nanotechnology, "stargates," "aliens," and many other things people speak about are not able to overcome God's Holy Word and the truth presented within its God-breathed pages. God remains the same and so does His Word. God promised to preserve His Word in various places, such as in Psalm 12:6-7.
Psalm 12:6-7
"[6] The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
[7] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
And, God said that He will fulfill His Holy Word in Isaiah 55:10-11.
[Isaiah 55:10-11]
"[10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
[11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Quantum Computers, CERN, and Artificial Intelligence -- Conclusion
Since we mentioned quantum computers and artificial intelligence earlier, I will briefly touch on them here. Quantum computers are real. They somehow enable people to get in touch with dimensions beyond those we are familiar with in order to solve computing problems our normal computers cannot solve.
Big companies have purchased them, and CERN (which has the famous Large Hadron Collider) is seeking to contact other dimensions by way of its colliders. I will not go into that topic further since it is beyond the scope of this article.
What is known as artificial intelligence (A.I.) is gaining momentum in the digital world. And, it is certain that life as we know it is going to change. Robots are set to replace more human workers, and A.I. programs and computers are set to run the world with what is called an "internet of things."
Electronic gadgets will be connected to a network which can be remotely accessed by way of a smart phone or some other device. Washing machines, refrigerators, thermostats, home computers, etc. will be part of a network that you can control with an electronic device, such as a phone. But, your electronic data will be fed into supercomputers, and companies will know exactly what device you used and how much water, natural gas, or electricity you used with that networked device. The cities of the future will have what is called a "smart grid."
Artificial intelligence (A.I.) software and supercomputers will monitor every electronic transaction or action in all the cities of the future. The A.I. network of supercomputers, and the quantum computers they are connected to, will control and run the whole world and will monitor everything that is done in towns, in cities, and in rural areas that have electric power.
But, amid all this new technology, we will still have the choice of whom we will serve. We can choose God and salvation through Jesus Christ or that which is against God. No "A.I." system will ever overpower God's strength and wisdom or win any contest with the Almighty God. A.I. will not destroy the human race because God is in charge and God will not allow the devil or any being to do whatever he wants.
Romans 8:34-39 contains many promises for believers in Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:34-39
"[34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
