DECEPTION
JEREMIAH 8:20: The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
(I am sure we would not like to be one of these people, who obviously knew something about the Bible, because they talk of being saved, Do you not agree that this would be a terrible disappointment?)
Let us turn to:
MATTHEW 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22- Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23- And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
(Here we see religious people to whom Jesus is going to say, I never knew you, ye that work iniquity. (working for the Devil) As we continue with the study, I would like you to notice the word many everytime.)
MATTHEW 7:13&14: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14- Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(Have you ever noticed many are singing about the day of the Lord, …when we all get to heaven .. when we all see Jesus, what a day of rejoicing that will be?)
AMOS 5:18&20: Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
20- Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
MATTHEW 24:3-5&11&24: And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
(We notice here, that this verse is talking of the time that we are living in, the disciples have just asked Jesus three questions, foremost in the mind of Jesus, regarding the time we are living in (today), Jesus answers them)
4- And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
(Jesus is warning us that just before he comes (now) that the most prominent thing today is deception.)
5- For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
(Many come in the name of Jesus, and admit that Jesus is Christ (ministers), and shall deceive many. Note: these are not false Christs, we will see the scripture concerning false Christs a little later.)
11- And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(As we go to verse 24 we will now see the false Christs.)
24- For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
(It is not possible to deceive the very elect, because they do what the Bereans did, (they never even trusted Paul.)
ACTS 17:10&11- And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11- These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
(We see that after Paul had preached to them, they went back to the scriptures, to see whether those things were so. If we want to be noble in the sight of God, let us do the same.)
2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15 - For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14- And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15- 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.
(Here we are told that Satan’s ministers have become ministers of righteousness. Friend where would you expect to find a minister?, behind a pulpit?)
ISAIAH 3:12 - As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
(lead thee = ministers Women rule over them = ministeresses??? And other women ruling over them.)
HOSEA 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
(How often have we heard only the first part of this scripture quoted? ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:’, and sometimes perhaps even lengthy debates on this portion of the verse, whereas the scripture explains itself, the next portion says, ‘because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,…’
(This is why we are destroyed.)
Let us now turn to:
JAMES 1:22 - (Friend did you know even without Satan’s help, we can deceive ourselves?)
22- But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
(Well friend, it looks as if the whole world is deceived. Let us see whether we have rightly divided the Word of God.)
Let us turn to:
REVELATION 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
JUDE 3-5 - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4- For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5- I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
We sincerely hope that this study will be a blessing to you, and that it will be an enlightening to the eyes of your understanding.
