There are three themes that Santosh explores: personal deception, religious deception, and liberty through truth. Personal deception is when doubt is placed by the enemy. Words are twisted, and meanings changed, and we ask if God really did say that. Satan plants the seed of doubt before he counters what God said.

In his research, Karl asks why Jesus put such effort in staging Lazarus' resurrection. Jesus explains to multiple different peoples that Lazarus died and he was going to resurrect him.
