Deception in the End Times

If someone handed you real and fake money, could you spot the counterfeit? Maybe you can't but bank employees need to know the difference. Now, in order to know the truth, you must be able to identify the deception, and it is the same with Christianity when compared to all other religions. If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, you must have faith that the disciples wrote down a true account in the New Testament. The Bible describes Him as God, the Creator, and the Messiah who came to earth in the form of a man to be the payment for sin. The New Testament is filled with His stories and teachings showing us how to be saved and walk in righteousness. The New Testament was written in Greek, but can you trust the men who translated the Bible into the English language? This is where faith in God and the working of the Holy Spirit comes into play. Without some sort of divine revelation, you must accept the New Testament by faith or it will have no meaning for you.

The Khazar's were a fierce people who converted to Judaism in 8th century and considered themselves the thirteenth tribe. They adopted the Old Testament, the Talmud, the Kabbalah, kept the feast days and all males were circumcised. As practicing Jews, they too rejected Jesus as the Messiah and hated Christians. Over time they moved west and dropped their identity as Khazar Jews and simply called themselves Jews. Bloodline Jews from Western Europe spread eastward and eventually it was impossible to tell who was a blood descendant of Abraham. It was the offspring of the Khazar Jews that gave birth to the Communist and Zionist movements in the 19th century, and with their heavy involvement in the Kabbalah, they have emerged on the world scene as the power brokers in the 20th and 21st centuries. This is the group that Satan will use to bring a counterfeit messiah whom the Bible calls the Antichrist. Anyone who rejects Jesus as the Messiah will be spiritually blinded and only the grace of God can open their eyes. The apostle Paul had an encounter with Jesus and his eyes were spiritually opened and the same can happen today for Jew and Gentile alike.

The Devil has a master plan in his war against God and the human race but it has been subject to change over the years because he is just like us and can't see into the future. Lucifer failed to dethrone God but succeeded with Adam and Eve. Then he corrupted mankind in Noah's time, tried to try to destroy the bloodline of Abraham and introduced the heretical doctrine of the Kabbalah, which teaches that everyone on earth must be led into total evil through violence in order for the serpent messiah to arrive. The prophet Isaiah spoke harshly against the Kabbalah, as did Ezekiel, who cried out against this perverted teaching in Babylon. John the Baptist and Jesus confronted the Jewish leadership at different times and called them vipers - after their holy serpent whom they believe to be the messiah. The apostle Paul was accused of teaching this heresy as well. The Kabbalah is also mentioned in the Book of Revelation by Jesus, when He described two churches as the "synagogue of Satan," which had replaced the true worship of God with devil worship. We see in world events today that the Devil is making one last attempt to control the human race. What are you doing to prepare yourself?

Angels are eternal beings who existed before the creation of Adam and Eve but they cannot see into the future; they only know what has been predicted in the Bible. Satan and his fallen angels gleefully orchestrated the Viking raids into England and Western Europe from 800 to 1100 A.D. that left a trail of death and destruction. The Vikings killed, plundered, raped and took slaves while the papacy of Rome continued its meddling and the generations living through this time period suffered greatly on earth and also in hell when they found out there was no salvation in the Roman Catholic Church. The light of the Gospel was very dim as the Vikings and their victims died in their sins and left behind all they had accumulated on earth. It's always healthy to have an eternal perspective when looking at life events, because many times we don't have our thinking lined up with God. There would be a great revival on earth today if we could hear the wailing of the people who perished. As the time of the Antichrist draws near, we would do well to remember Jesus' words: "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."

Easter and Christmas involve a lot of pageantry and celebration and the pagans who converted to Christianity under the auspices of Roman Catholicism were loathe to give up their satanic festivities. The solution was Christianize the rituals in order to appeal to the Christians and appease the pagans. The resulting spring and winter festivals of Easter and Christmas were replete with every custom of old. Not a whole lot has changed today as even those who hate Jesus still participate in the festivities. Ignorant and undiscerning Christians taking part in the idolatry try to justify their actions even though the Word of God says otherwise. You will often hear someone say they are "getting into the spirit of Christmas," and this true, but they don't know which spirit they are talking about. There are powerful religious spirits behind these holidays who want you to participate in something that God looks upon with disgust. So when it comes to the Christian life, it is the duty of every believer to exercise discernment. Are you going to believe the Word of God or a festivity built upon a lie? God wants you to serve Him in spirit and truth. Do you honestly want to participate in something that God hates? The choice is yours to make!

Many people erroneously believe that Constantine founded the Roman Catholic Church in 325 A.D., but it was really an unholy union of the empire and the churches within it, and as Rome crumbled, the bishop's political and military influence also diminished. That all changed in the 8th century when Charlemagne needed a religion to unite the different nationalities of his kingdom and the unholy union was once again revived because he needed a religion to unite the different nationalities of his kingdom. He courted the papacy and the Church of Rome became the official state religion of the Franks and the kingdom was subsequently renamed The Holy Roman Empire. History has shown that no political system can exist apart from a religious system, and what the Devil did back then is also going to be repeated in the future, but on a much larger scale, because today's technology is so advanced that mankind can be monitored and controlled at all times. Satan counterfeits everything that God has done and one day the Roman Catholic Church will be the platform that he will use to convince the world that the Antichrist is really the long awaited messiah. The man of sin will appear as a lamb but he will speak as a dragon!

God has given progressive revelations throughout the Bible and it is with this knowledge that we can deduce there was a creation prior to Adam. We don't know how long it lasted but Lucifer was an angel who led a rebellion in heaven and started a war that affected the entire universe. The earth was his planet and he ruled from Eden, the same place where God would later put Adam and Eve. As Lucifer's last stand, the earth would have been damaged and looked much like Berlin did at the end of World War II. This would explain why the Bible speaks about a re-creation and God's call to replenish the earth. Adam and Eve were thrown into the conflict to prove that God is righteous to the angelic world. The rewards are potentially enormous: eternal life and being joint heirs with Jesus Christ. If there was indeed a pre-Adamic civilization with commerce and war, then you shouldn't be surprised when a new world order emerges in the future that calls for peace and offers membership to anyone who will take an oath of loyalty and receive an identification mark that will give you access to the new financial system. Remember, you have been warned!

The dark ages saw Western Europe deteriorate culturally and economically and the Roman Catholic Church become the preeminent state religion. This message is a historical fact finding mission that will give you insight as to why Satan has so much power and why he was able to build up an apostate church. The Bible says that God is proving His righteousness through the creation of mankind because He was accused by Lucifer of being unfair. Satan seduced one third of the angels to rebel against God and there was a great war that spanned the entire universe. In the trial that followed their defeat, they were sentenced to the Lake of Fire. Lucifer appealed the verdict and accused God of being unrighteous which lead to the creation of mankind. God has been challenged by the Devil and the book of Romans says that He is proving His righteousness through humanity. The Church's main weakness comes from the fact that it is made up of redeemed sinners who can still be tempted by the Devil but the Holy Spirit is in charge of ministering to believers in Christ and together we can defeat Satan's plans. It is therefore crucial to walk with God as the end times draw near.

What happened to the early church set up Jesus? Twelve men were selected to become apostles, but unlike many churches today, they were not told to run the Church like a corporation with a board of directors and a CEO. Instead, they worked, prayed and made decisions together. Hundreds of churches were planted throughout the Roman Empire. Each one was independent and this system of leadership continued for 200 years. The ruling power of each church was in the capable hands of the Holy Spirit, who was there to guide, convict and call out new leaders. But as apostasy crept in, each generation of new leaders took the Church further away from the Holy Spirit and closer to a state church run by a supreme bishop in Rome. The road to the papacy had been laid and the corrupted Church was only a shell of what it once had been. The dark ages were about to begin but Jesus’ promise that gates of hell would not prevail against His church would still hold true as it would be supernaturally resurrected time and time again through the power of the Word of God.

What happens when the Word of God is ignored or lost? The result can be seen in the early Church as Christianity continued to spread throughout the Roman Empire and also begin a slow descent into apostasy. The lack of Christian Jews created a vacuum that was filled with Christian Gentiles who were poorly educated and set forth all manner of theology and doctrine. This meant that the knowledge of God, His Laws, salvation, water baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, living a holy life and the destiny of mankind as presented by Jesus and the apostles, was lost to much of the early church and paganism was mixed with Christianity. The lack of Bibles made it hard for pastors to train new believers. When coupled with the decline of the Roman Empire and vicious persecution, it made the Christian leadership desire peace with the Roman government, which would lead to the Roman Empire's embrace of Christianity, but the cost would be high. The merger of faith and politics as Roman Catholicism cast a dark shadow over the world that would not be lifted for a long time and the Devil congratulated himself on a job well done.

The events that led to the gradual destruction of the Church in the Roman Empire were not an accident but a premeditated act carried out by the Devil. In the early days of the Church there was no central human leadership because Christians relied upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the love of God compelled them to share the Gospel wherever they went. The power of the Holy Spirit hindered Satan's work and made it difficult for Christians to be deceived. Eventually the Devil realized that he could reuse the same plan that had been used to destroy the nation of Israel, but with a new twist. If Christians could be separated from the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, then they could also be lead into idolatry; this would invoke the wrath of God, and at the same time, cause them to abandon their soul winning. Satan also wanted to create a religious institution that would be used to enslave mankind in false worship which we know today as Roman Catholicism. History has revealed the playbook that Satan is using, are Christians willing to stand up and resist the evil?

How could a vibrant apostolic church end up dead just a few hundred years after its inception? As soon as John, the last apostle had left the earth, Satan launched major attacks against the church. These could be likened to malaria, which once a person contracts it, strikes hard the first time and then lays dormant for a number of years, only to flare up again, disappear, and comes back time and time again. Gnosticism attacked the deity of Jesus by saying that He never came in the flesh, His body was an illusion and there never was a death on the cross. This kind of doctrine destroys the foundation of salvation and is still with us today in a multitude of false religions. As the Christian leadership fought Gnosticism, the Devil introduced a second heresy that the coming of Jesus was imminent. Montanus predicted a specific date and the movement fell apart when appointed time passed. These are but two lies from the devil over the years that keep coming back just like malaria. Satan doesn't have any new programs; everything he does is just a rehash of what he has done in the past, hoping that people will continue to foolishly repeat the same mistakes.

Imagine that you have the chance to earn a large sum of money by carefully following a set of instructions. There is just one problem, they are written in a language you cannot read. After searching around you find two translators who are willing to help you in this endeavor. The first will translate the words as directly as possible from the first language to yours. It will be up to you to read the result carefully and follow it. The second translator will go one step further and render a translation which describes his best understanding of how the author wanted you to carry out the instructions. Written as a paraphrase, it will be easy to read and follow. There is just one catch, you have to trust that his understanding of how it should be done agrees with what the author intended, or you will fail and end up with nothing!

If you listen to the radio or watch television, chances are that have heard someone preach the Gospel. With thousands of Christian radio and television stations, the probability of hearing the truth mixed with false doctrine is high and results in confusion among the listeners. Salvation is the core of the Gospel, and any deviation is fatal to the person developing it and for the people who buy into it. The Gospel message is simple; it is faith in Jesus that makes it possible for a person to repent of their sins and trust Him to be their Savior, who through grace, bestows salvation upon the person that calls upon His name. In short, we are saved by grace through faith; that is true conversion and exactly what Jesus and the apostles taught. In this message, Pastor John shares six of the most damning heresies being propagated today concerning salvation and also provides the antidote by showing you what Jesus and the apostles taught in the New Testament regarding true and false conversion. Are you a true or false convert? Have you received the truth of Jesus or a lie from the Devil? The world has many thoughts on life after death but there is only one truth and your eternal destiny will be determined by what you choose to believe on earth.

The years 400-800 A.D. were filled with terror as nations were uprooted and millions were killed by different barbaric tribes in an attempt by Satan to drown whatever was left of the Christian faith and destroy the Western Roman Empire. Revelation 12:15 speaks about a flood of water spewing out of Satan's mouth and this seems to be exactly what took place during the dark ages with the great upheavals in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe as nations were uprooted and millions were killed. In the midst of this hellish dance of warring armies was the Roman Catholic Church. Like a protected egg, it survived in the midst of these warring armies and was able to exploit the pagans and make them religious, so that they were willing to yield their political power to the Pope of Rome. Despite all this evil, the Holy Spirit was still present and working in various men and women and the powerful Gospel message continued to change lives despite Satan's opposition. The horror of this time period will once again be repeated during the reign of the Antichrist and you need to be ready with the remedy - the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
