I am leaving the topic Rapture for now as it's been covered pretty well so here goes a different subject,Thanks to all of you brethern for your imput to my other posts,
The �Christianity� we see all around us today, celebrating Easter, Christmas,
Valentine�s Day, is NOT THE
CHRISTIANITY BROUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST AND THE APOSTLES! It is a far
different �religion.� It is in reality anything but �Christian.� Millions of people have
been deceived � blind-sided � and have no idea of the truth!
The plot was foretold long ago. In the Bible itself we read of �that serpent of old,
called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world� (Rev.12:9). This vast, global
and ancient conspiracy began in the earliest days of the human race, when that old
serpent beguiled Eve in the garden of Eden, leading her to question God, His motives,
His authority, and appealing to her desire for wisdom, tricked her into disobeying the
commandment of God, and her husband with her (Gen.3:1-7). At that time, God
promised Adam and Eve that one day there would be a �Seed� from the woman who
would �bruise� the head of the devil (the deceiver), and deliver mankind from his
deceptive clutches � the first promise of a future Deliverer or Messiah (Gen.3:15). The
Hebrew word for �bruise� here is shuwph, meaning �go gape, i.e. snap at, fig. to
overwhelm: -- break, bruise, cover.� To �break� his head means to destroy him
(Heb.2:14). When that would be fulfilled was not mentioned at that time.
From the beginning the devil tried to palm himself off as the true �God� and
invented many religions to lead mankind to worship him in various guises and forms. He
inspired men to begin different religions, to counterfeit the truth of God, to lead them
away from the true God. Before the Flood, he used Adam�s son Cain to begin his
diabolical apostasy and false religion.
Cain saw himself as the �promised Messiah� and began his own religion, a
religion of gross sensuality and wickedness, eventually leading the whole world before
the Deluge into a time of corruption and violence, the end-result of religious perversion
(Gen.6:11-12). This false religion was called �the way of Cain� (Jude 11). This is in
contrast to �the Way� of the Christian, the �Way� which the world calls �a sect,� or
�heresy� (Acts 24:14).
Cupid-Nimrod
This evil, seductive religious �way� manifested itself this side of the Flood,
through the agency of Cush, the son of Ham, the son of Noah, and Cush�s son Nimrod
and his wife Semiramis. Nimrod became the first �mighty man� after the Flood � the
first world ruling tyrant and oppressor (Gen.10:8-10). He led the building of the Tower
of Babel, to �free� mankind from the rulership of the God of heaven. He became
the world�s first �Messiah� figure this side of the Flood, and became worshipped in many
nations around the world of that time, under different names in different nations and
languages.Says Alexander Hislop,Who wrote The book, TheTwo Babylons
I'm not sure if you're asking a question or not, but it is obvious that a lot of the info you have shared is not biblical but comes out of other texts. I guess I'm not sure what the point of you post is. Sorry....
The title of the post is Deception from the great deceiver{Satan} himself and how it originally got started from the time of the first humans Adam and Eve down to the flood and beyond, just give me a chance and I will try to tie it all together in later postings.
Rev.12:9, That ancient serpent called the devil or Satan,who leads the whole world astray,Rev.12:9-------How does he do that? Can anyone be decieved and not know it? What is the counterfit gospel Paul talked about in Gal 1:8-9, But if we or an angel from heaven should preach another gospel other than the one we preached to you,let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said,now I say again,If anyone is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted,let him be eternally condemned! it was so important Paul said it twiced!So the question was how does Satan decieve? God gave Adam and Eve a specific command only one thing they wern't allowed to do,eat from a certain tree! Gen.2;16,And the Lord God commanded the man,You are free to eat from any tree in the garden,but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,for when you eat of it you will surly die!
In Gen 3:4, Satan called God a lier, He tells Eve,You shall not surly die! Right away he cast doubt in Eve's mind about Gods sincerity, about Gods commands.By disobeying God and eating of the fruit they commited idolatry by believeing Satan and not God,And dishonored their only parent,God,they stole something that was not theirs,the forbidden fruit,they brought the death penality on the whole human race so indirectly they broke all of Gods commandments
Matt.4:4, Jesus Himself said man shall not live on bread alone but by EVERY WORD OF GOD!In other words you can't pick and choose what commands you will obey and ignore the rest!
Eternal life is through the narrow gate,Luke 13:23-25
Matt.7;21,Only those who do the will of God in heaven will enter that gate,
John 10:1, Anyone who preaches another way is a thief and a robber,Luke 19:16-17 if you want eternal life keep the commandments,
Something that goes along with deception is why does the world including Jews, Catholic,and organized religion hate the message of the two witnesses?
"And I will give POWER to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the twolampstands that stand before the Lord of the whole earth. If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want" (Rev.11:3-6).
And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make WAR against them, and shall overcome them, and KILL THEM. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
"And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves, and they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because THESE TWO PROPHETS tormented them that dwell on the earth" (Rev.11:7-10).
Why are they hated so much? Because they proclaim the truth!.. The two end-time witnesses of God, described in the book of Revelation, will, like Elijah and Elisha, work together, and both of them will be filled with a double portion of the Spirit of God, and will do the works and miracles which are similar to those God used Moses and Aaron, Elijah and Elisha, to do, during their lifetimes. These great works will be necessary, as this End-Time is a time which is sunk into deep depravity, apostasy, and wickedness, and the world has forgotten the existence and the power of the true God of Israel! God called Moses and Aaron during a time when His people were mired in captivity in Egypt, with virtually all hope gone -- a time of great apostasy.
The two witnesses will preach with power and authority, and will preach the truth of God which has been lost and buried and hidden from view for centuries and millennia! They will be a "witness" to both Jews and Gentiles alike -- to both Orthodox Jews, who deny the Messiah, and to professing "Christians," who deny the real Christ! All will be urged to repent of their blindness, their darkness, and their hypocrisy and deceit, and to turn to God with humble hearts and humbled minds, willing to be corrected. To get back to the faith once delivered to the saints, Jude 3,
People can be decieved and it is because they are looking for answer and when one is given, they bite on it. Eve was curious about the fruit and when Satan lied to her about its consequences, it opened up in her mind the chance to see what the mystery was behind this forbiden fruit. She was looking for an answer and Satan "gave" her "permission" to test it out. As for why would people be against the Two Witnesses...well as an example, I'm a history buff, look at Germany in WWII. The economy was in devastion, Germany had just be nearly completly destroy by the affects of WWI and they were looking for an answer. Here comes Hitler offering a solution when no one else was...the German people bit on the line...During the Tribulaion, people will be searching for answers and the Anti-Christ is "going" to have them. So when the Two Witnesses come along sharing the Truth, the people are not going to want to hear it. They have put all of their hope in what the Anti-Christ and the Beast are doing that they are not going to want to "waste" their time in placing hope in what the Two Witnesses say. Just my thoughts....
