Jesus warned us 4 times of End Time Delusions
I have received a strong impulse to post this. It just may be that satan is about to unleash a great delusion on the world in the next few years.
The End Time persecution prophesized just may have to do with Christians
dividing among themselves and persecuting each other over this. Some will say
this coming "Angel of light" who cures diseases and does wondrous miracles in
all appearances is the christ and has proved it. Most likely this imposter will
also arrive unexpectantly--like a thief in the night. Others like me will not
believe it.
In Matthew 24:4, 5, 11, 24 - Jesus warns of false christs and false prophets.
In Revelation 13:13, 14; and 16:14 we are warned of a false religious power that makes fire come down from heaven. This same power works miracles to deceive the whole world.
This can mean nothing else except that satan will impersonate Jesus Christ. Satan will somehow impersonate Jesus by appearing as a dazzling being of light, who has the power to heal diseases and do other fantastic miracles. He will also probably appear all over the globe. And he most likely will have the same appearance like the Son of God given to us in Revelation 1:13-15.
But remember this. Your first tip-off will be that satan will not be able to arrive on the scene as Jesus will, he will be speaking half truths - not in line with scripture, and at first he will simply promise to bless all those who worship him and/or his image. This blessing will turn to hatred towards those who refuse to worship him.
Matthew: 24-27
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. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Revelation: 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
1 Thessalonians: 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians: 5:1
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
