"How
can Satan Deceive the Whole World?"
Have
you ever wondered how it could possibly be
that
Satan when he comes to earth is able to "deceiveth the whole world" (Rev.
12:9)?
If
what "main stream" Christianity is teaching, i.e. their traditional doctrines,
is true,
then
how could this be?
Is
the majority right when most professing Christians are completely Biblically
illiterate?
Think
about it?
If
a person is deceived it means that they believe something to be true that
is,
in
fact, not so.
Folks,
it is "religion" that prevents our people
from
seeing the truth of God's Word.
So,
while the majority of Christianity today teaches that Jesus Christ can
return at any moment,
both
Jesus Christ
and
the apostle Paul
WARNED
about being deceived concerning His return.
Jesus
said repeatedly that many would come claiming to represent Him, i.e. as
Christian ministers,
and
would deceive MANY, the multitudes, not just a few!
Take
a look at what the majority teaches concerning our gathering back to Christ,
then
read what Paul says in 2 Thes. 2.
Here
it is:
2
Thes. 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren,
by
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and
by our gathering together unto him,
The
subject is the 7th Trump,
the
return of Christ,
and
our gathering back to Him.
2
Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
for
that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,
and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
We
are NOT going to gather back to Christ until the son of perdition is revealed.
There
is only one son of perdition, Satan himself.
What
does this "revealing" mean?
[4]
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or
that is worshipped;
so
that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing
himself that he is God.
What
will he do when he is revealed?
He
will take over God's house,
even
the body of Christ which results in the great apostasy,
and
claims to be God, i.e. Jesus Christ.
Satan
will be revealed as Jesus Christ!
It
is a mystery to most.
Hang
on a few verses!
[5]
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Paul
says "Don't you remember I told you all of this?"
[6]
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
"You
know what Satan's status is now."
[7]
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
only
he who now letteth will let,
until
he be taken out of the way.
What
is this "mystery"?
Let's
look up the Greek word in Strong's:
musterion,
moos-tay'-ree-on, Greek 3466; from a derivative of muo (to shut the mouth);
a secret or "mystery" (through the idea of silence imposed by initiation
into religious rites) :- mystery.
It's
RELIGION! Hidden Religion!
Even
the "Hidden (Secret) Dynasty of Religion"
that
has crept into the churches.
It's
"Churchianity",
ceremony
and religious rites,
disguised
as "Christianity".
Do
you not remember the 1st Seal in Rev. 6:2
and
the rider of the first white horse?
It
is deception brought about by Satan,
the
rider of the white horse which looks like Christ's white horse,
but
it isn't!
Don't
be deceived!
If
you need a refresher then go back and re-read the 1st Seal!
Note:
Many, way too many, churches
teach
that the "only he who now letteth will let,
until
he be taken out of the way" in verse 7 refers to the Holy Spirit
departing
the earth when they are Raptured away.
That's
because the "mystery" has already completely taken over their unlearned
minds.
They
are not going anywhere before the false-christ is revealed.
Paul
just said so in plain and simple language.
The
subject being discussed is when will the "man of sin" be revealed?
The
answer is when Michael let's him go in Rev. 12:7-9.
Michael
is holding him back!
Here's
verse 7 from the Living Bible translation:
2
Thes. 2:7 As for the work this man of rebellion and hell will do when he
comes,
it
is already going on,
but
he himself will not come until the one who is holding him back steps out
of the way. (Living Bible)
When
Michael steps out of the way and let's Satan go,
he
will come to the earth as Jesus Christ.
Back
to the KJV and continuing in 2 Thes.:
2
Thes. 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,
and
shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Most
of Christianity is awaiting an evil, Hitler like,
Saddam
Hussein like butcher to be revealed.
Don't
you SEE the mystery at work?
The
Wicked one will be revealed as Jesus Christ.
He
won't appear to be doing anything wicked at all!
He's
very religious. He heals the "deadly wound".
As
Daniel shows us, the "little horn", Satan, brings peace and prosperity
to the world.
The
whole world will love him!
They
will think Christ has returned! Is that hidden, or what?
[9]
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders,
Even
if you see "religious" miracles performed by religious leaders,
especially
by one claiming to be Jesus, don't be deceived!
[10]
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
If
you "love truth" you will study the truth, which is His Word.
Look
out across the land.
How
many folks do you know that truly study His Word?
You
can tell by just listening to people
that
they have not received the "love of the truth",
even
though they may attend a church!
[11]
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that
they should believe a lie:
What
is the "lie" that they believe?
It
is that Satan is Jesus and that his "church systems",
his
"religions" are true Christianity.
