Pamphlet 1230 Ezek kc 22-1

Jesus said there would MANY of them,
i.e. many Christian Ministers, who will mislead MANY!

If there is one thing that we Christians need to understand,
it is that "Christianity" is the cloak under which Satan spreads his lies and abominations.

Names and titles can be misleading, even very deceiving.

For instance, many people believe that the Federal Reserve Bank
is part of the Federal Government because it bears the name "Federal",
but it is a privately owned corporation and is NOT part of our government.

Likewise, we have learned that there are many religious leaders
who preach, teach, heal, and prophesy using the name of Jesus Christ,
who Himself prophesied they would come in His name and so do!
"But take heed", Jesus said, "that they don't deceive YOU",
for they will and have deceived the masses,
for they are false prophets, false teachers indeed!

What constitutes a false teacher?
Someone who teaches theories of men and the traditions of men and not the Word of God.

A famous trick of Satan is to take that which is described in figurative language
and teach the figurative as literal, instead of the truth conveyed by it,
like making the Serpent in Genesis to be an upright snake, a literal serpent,
instead of the beautiful archangel once called Lucifer.

Anyone who reads the entire Bible will discover
and learn who the serpent is,
for it is spelled out clearly in Rev. 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."

The point is, as we just read in Rev. 9,
that Satan is soon to be cast to this earth and will APPEAR as Jesus Christ,
and he will be accepted and worshipped as the Messiah by the majority of mankind.

So if Satan calls Himself Christ,
is it any wonder then that his ministers call themselves "Christian"?

Are you expecting one of them to come out and say,
"I'm a false prophet!"?

Jesus said there would MANY of them,
i.e. many Christian Ministers, who will mislead MANY!

Paul said the same thing regarding Satan's ministers appearing as the good guys in 2 Cor.:

2 Cor. 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
The word "transformed" means "to disguise" or to "appear as".
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Jesus Christ is the Light (Jn. 1:9) and Satan will "appear as" that Light, i.e. as the Messiah.
[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.
Satan's ministers "appear as" Christian ministers, ministers of righteousness.

It is by their works, i.e. by what they teach,
that one can easily determine their authenticity.
The following concluding verses in chapter 13 of Ezekiel will serve as an example.
Check them out.


 
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
