Overcoming Great Deception

More than ever we live in the reality of 2 Thessalonians 2, which refers to the great falling away or rebellion. The Greek word translated as “rebellion” or “falling away” in verse 3 of the Scripture is apostasia, from which we get the English word apostasy. It refers to a general defection from the true God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. In such perilous times of deception and spiritual corruption, a great need exists to seek the Lord, to follow His will, to obey His truths and to follow His narrow path of holiness. To restore the altar is truly to be a living sacrifice in service of God – a servant who will not compromise with the world and who seeks to only glorify God above all.

I am a firm believer that God will do just what He said He will do, for He delivered me from the spirit of witchcraft, and hatred. The prophet from judah disobeyed God, and he paid a dear price for it he lost his life. The prophet from judah was deceived by a man who said he was a prophet, for he lied to the man of God.

"Deceived! Overcoming the Age of Mass Deception" The 20th century was the beginning of an entirely new age of mass media; and with it came the ability of the few to not only exercise political power over the masses, but also through the power of electronic media, fundamentally alter the way people think and behave. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 indicates that a time will come when Satan's tool "the lawless one" will come and trick everyone with "strange demonstrations, and will do great miracles." The mass media is the most powerful tool ever invented to propagandize and control the masses. People are vulnerable to mind control because they have been programed by the mass media to believe deceptions. And so they have lost their love for the truth. As punishment, God will allow them to believe the lies and reject the Truth. They will get what they want and will revel in their life of sin... for as long it lasts. Satan's plan is to seduce the church and deceive Christians to join this rebellion. But God has provided His church with the ways and means to know the truth and overcome in the Age of Mass Media.

It is widely recognized by NT scholars that many of the sayings and actions attributed to Jesus in the Gospels do not go back to him. This book provides criteria for distinguishing the authentic material and shows that it cannot support traditional faith.

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
