End-Time Deception
"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." -Matthew 24:11
The Word of God has much to say about the end times. One thing stands out in the teachings of the Bible more than anything else concerning these last days...DECEPTION!!! Satan is a master deceiver and counterfeiter..."For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." -2nd Corinthians 11:13-15.
Don't be a fool, listen to the Word of God!!!
The Deception of Denying Satan
Satan is alive and well folks, and he's out to deceive you and your loved ones. Satan is so crafty that he has even convinced some people that he doesn't exist. There are many religions which teach that Satan does not exist at all. For example: The Wiccan religion. There are already an estimated 4,000,000 Wiccans according to the witches themselves, and their religion is growing by leaps and bounds because of Harry Potter. Teenager girls especially are drawn into Wicca because of it's feminist nature (worshipping the goddesses). The New Age religion also denies the existence of Satan and is even more popular than Wicca. Howbeit, just because someone says there's no devil doesn't make it so. The truth is intolerant friend...you can claim that 1 + 1 = 3, but it doesn't (and never will). 1 + 1 = 2, like it or limp it!!!The Deception of Denying That Jesus Christ is the ONLY Way to Heaven
New Agers believe that there are many ways to the light, but the Word of God proclaims that there is ONLY one way to get to heaven - through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:6 declares...
The TRUTH is that there is only ONE WAY into heaven, and that is through Jesus (John 10:1,9).
The Baha'i religion also foolishly teaches that there are many ways to heaven. As you can imagine, Baha'is are welcomed by New Agers. All end-time religions (such as Wicca, New Age, Baha'i, Kabbalah, and hundreds more) share common denominators. They all teach that there are multiple ways to the light. They all deny the existence of an evil being called Satan. They all deny the exclusive deity of Jesus Christ (that He alone is Almighty God -Revelation 1:8). Wiccans believe that there are hundreds of gods.
The Deception of Accepting the Ungodly
Satan's goal for these last days is to consolidate his forces against God. To do this, he MUST create a "one-world" environment. This includes a one-world religion, a one-world government, a one-world currency, a one-world police state, etc. This will be Babylon rebuilt, mankind coming together once again in rebellion against God (Genesis 11:1-9). To accomplish this, Satan MUST desensitize and condition the minds of the masses to accept all this. Shockingly, Satan has even managed to convince professed Christians that homosexuals should be accepted. Christianity Today magazine published an article saying that banning gay-marriages is not the answer. They also gave positive reviews to the hell-spawned Harry Potter Series. The Word of God clearly warns that we are to have NO COMPANY with the ungodly..."And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed" -2nd Thessalonians 3:14.
Now if God doesn't want us to fellowship with a backslidden believer, then He certainly doesn't want us to fellowship with unbelievers. 2nd Corinthians 6:14-15 teaches "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" I am not trying to be unkind to homosexuals (or anyone else), but the Word of God plainly forbids Christians from fellowshipping with such people. When the Bible says that Jesus was "a friend of sinners," it simply means that He cared enough about the poor and outcast to talk with them about the things of heaven." The religious leaders of Jesus' day were just as sinful, but they were self-righteous. Jesus declared that He didn't come to save the righteous, but to call sinners to repentance...Luke 5:32, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." MOST homosexuals are self-righteous, rationalizing their homosexual sins as being something good and acceptable. Any homosexual that tries to justify the sin of homosexuality is self-righteous...Jesus cannot help those who are full of themselves.
The Deception of Lying Wonders and the Deceivableness of Unrighteousness
The Bible warns of "lying wonders" in the last days...
The Bible warns of "lying wonders" in the last days..."Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." -2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12
One of the biggest lying wonders of our time is the 9/11 tragedy. Anyone who has even casually looked over the evidence knows that the US government was completely responsible for carrying out the attacks. Look at the 9/11 timelines. The mounting concrete evidence is shocking. Even more shocking is that the average person refuses to believe THE TRUTH. The American government will be damned for it, just as 2nd Thessalonians 2:12 proclaims. Only a blind fool or a total coward would deny that something very evil happened the morning of 9-11-2001. Most people are delusional, just as God said they would be. I realize that the antichrist has not appeared yet (and won't until the church is removed from the world - raptured), but it is so obvious that the grand stage is being set for his appearing. I believe the rapture is very near.
Love the Truth!

God said that He would send strong delusion to those who receive not the LOVE OF THE TRUTH (2nd Thessalonians 2:10) I published this blog because I love the truth. I do NOT love bad news, but I have an intense desire to know the truth. I must know the truth, unlike many people who run from the truth. The truth can be dealt with, but a lie cannot. Even now (before the antichrist has appeared), so many people are as gullible and blind as can be. People sit glued to their Hellivision sets and believe most of what they hear on the news.
The ONLY sure way to avoid believing a lie is to LOVE THE TRUTH. My friend, you don't have to dig deep to find the truth...it is right in front of our faces. The Old Testament book of Proverbs declares that wisdom cries out in the streets for people to listen..."Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets" -Proverb 1:20. When it comes to ALL matters of faith and morality, the 1611 King James Bible (the Word of God) is our FINAL AUTHORITY. You stick with the inspired, infallible, inerrant, preserved Word of God and you won't go wrong. Whether it be devilish Wicca or New Age hocus-pocus, the works of darkness are ALL exposed when you shine the light of God's Word upon it.
If you want the truth about today's world events, then you must get your news from people who love the truth. The truth may be bizarre and strange at times, but we cannot hide ourselves from it. We have a responsibility to God, our families, and ourselves to seek out the truth and proclaim it far and near!!! Those foolish people who are too busy watching TV and living their selfish lives to look into the truth of the matter will be held accountable by God for their indifference and apathy. In fact, God is so angry about it that He's going to send them "strong delusion" to solidify there unbelief. This is what God did to wicked Pharaoh in Moses' day.
The greatest truth that you'll ever hear is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you have never been saved, there's no time like right now...
