This is Antichrist-man making himself God.
The spirit of religious seduction has made rapid progress since the middle of the nineteenth century with the pre-tribulation "rapture" doctrine; Dispensationalism; God is love and not wrath; grace is unconditional-it will bring us to Paradise whether or not we live righteously; Christians ought to be wealthy; by faith we can have whatever we desire; Christians will rule the earth before Jesus returns; the converted Gentiles are the true Israel and have replaced physical Israel in the Divine plan.
If we will look closely we will discover that the above doctrines, all of which proceed from the spirit of religious seduction, are man-centered not God-centered. They are in keeping with the secular philosophy of man being God: man is central; God will not allow man to suffer; God has given gifts to man so that he by faith can do as he will on the earth; and related errors.
The delusions have this in common-God will give the Gentiles every blessing on earth and take them to Paradise before any evil can harm them, if they will acknowledge the fact that Jesus died for our sins and rose again as Lord. Current Christian doctrine sounds correct to the believer walking in the flesh and is accompanied by a strong sense of assurance; but it is so terribly incorrect!
Why have fundamental Christian believers been deceived so easily? For three reasons. First, we do not deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow the Lord Jesus. Second, we do not pray carefully enough. Third, we are living in a world culture that is being influenced heavily by the spirit of Antichrist.
We have been deceived.
God has commanded us to lay down our own life, to deny ourselves, to take up our cross and follow the Lord Jesus. Because we have rejected the personal cross of humiliation, denial, patience, God has sent delusion upon us.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)
We know from the Scriptures that the closing days of the age will be filled with evil and religious deception. The tares will come to maturity.
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. (Matthew 24:24)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
The Lord Jesus warned us that there was coming an hour so dark that man could not work.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (John 9:4)
The hour of darkness is here-now!
Antichrist and his chief supporter, the spirit of religious delusion (the False Prophet), have already destroyed the Christian witness in America.
