For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16) <br><br>

(Matthew 24:3). <br><br>

The Gospel of Christ belongs to the Jews. There is no such thing as a "Gentile Church." Over the two thousand years of the Church Era the Divine salvation has been associated with non-Jews until the term Gentile has come to mean "a Christian as distinguished from a Jew." The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven originated with Jews, will end with Jews, and is the possession of Jews. It is the "children's bread." Let every elect Gentile now recognize his debt to the Jewish Apostles and treat Jews according to the truth of God—as the race to whom the Gospel, by Divine choice, is given first. <br><br>

The first Christian Church comprised five thousand fervent Law-observing Jews. It was located in the city of Jerusalem. These original Christians understood little or nothing of a "grace" that operated independently of their behavior. It is not at all true that Christianity is Gentile in origin or nature. <br><br>

It is apparent that initially few of the early Christians believed there was any salvation apart from the Law of Moses. Then God revealed to the Jew, Paul, the relationship of the old covenant to the new. <br><br>

<p><br>

Paul explained that the new covenant includes a new creation, a creation not bound by the Law of Moses. The Torah is to pass from the tables of stone to the human heart and mind, according to the Hebrew Prophet Jeremiah. <br><br>

  1. Jesus warned us not to be deceived. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matthew 24:4) . </p>

But there appears to have been little understanding of the new covenant throughout Church history. For example, going to church on Sunday has often been regarded as the Christian observance of the Sabbath commandment. <br><br>

Today we have a "salvation" th[[Category:You Are My People]]at is not of the old covenant or the new. It is not married to Moses or Christ. It is a tremendous Gentile misunderstanding of the Person, will, and way of the God of Israel and the Spirit of God is now explaining this to us. <br><br>

<p>3. Self-deception is believing a lie. Voluntarily forgetting God's revealed truth is self-deception . "For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was" ( James 1:23-24 ) . </p>

The writer understands from the Scriptures that the day is coming in which the Holy Spirit will be poured out on the nation of Israel and the blindness toward Christ will be removed. In that day the Jews will look on their Redeemer and weep. <br><br>

We have a great concern over this coming visitation. The rabbis, the leaders of Israel, will then be confused. When they realize Jesus indeed is Christ, they will be emotionally vulnerable. The fierce pride that has resisted Jesus will be gone and in its place will be brokenhearted priests and scholars. <br><br>

−
We hope the following essay, You Are My People, will enable the rabbis in that hour to understand the Gospel of Christ is of the Jews and for the Jews. They are not to turn to the Gentile organizations for instruction or fellowship. The Gentile Christian institutions are hopelessly confused concerning the Gospel of Christ, the new covenant, and in some instances are wicked and corrupt. <br><br>

The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven is for the Jews. It is their "bread." They are to receive their Lord, their Husband, the eternal Lover of Israel, entirely apart from the historical ecclesiastical development, theology, and activities of Gentiles. <br><br>

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2Thessalonians 2:3-4) . </li>

"And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live" (Revelation 13:14) . </li>

  <li>a. The deceiving and seduction of the elect (those who are appointed to salvation) will not ultimately be possible.

God will Himself be in the process of preparing the final judgment of those who have rejected His Son as the Only True God and Saviour.

Believing the "lying wonders" of Satan (demons physically manifesting themselves as the stronger and smarter aliens who have been here from the beginning and can save us from ourselves or destroy us if we do not cooperate with the Paradigm Shift evolving all man into this higher Christ consciousness of becoming God), causes unelect man to love not the truth of the Gospel or believe the warnings of God's prophecy -- making them incapable of being saved. "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (2Thessalonians 2:9-10) . </li>

"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thessalonians 2:11-12) . </li>

Deception:

A Sign of the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ, and of the End of the World

Deception is a Sign of the End of the Age


"What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
(Matthew 24:3).

by Tom Stewart


1. Jesus warned us not to be deceived. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matthew 24:4) .

2. Deception is mocking God concerning His truth. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" ( Galatians 6:7 ) .

3. Self-deception is believing a lie. Voluntarily forgetting God's revealed truth is self-deception . "For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was" ( James 1:23-24 ) .

4. The enemies of God are deceivers.

  • a. All mankind who are apart from the saving influence of the LORD Jesus Christ are part of this cycle of deception. "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (2Timothy 3:13) .
  • b. Obviously, Satan and his demons are deceivers. "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" (Revelation 12:9) .
  • c. The Antichrist will claim that he -- and NOT Jesus -- IS the Christ. "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:5) .
  • d. The Antichrist knows that whoever lays claim to the name of Christ is actually claiming to be THE ONLY TRUE GOD. For this reason, he will sit in the rebuilt Jewish temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, demanding all to worship him. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2Thessalonians 2:3-4) .
  • e. The false prophet will deceive the world by directing the worship of Antichrist. "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live" (Revelation 13:14) .

5. Even the LORD God Almighty has promised to deceive all but the elect.

  • a. The deceiving and seduction of the elect (those who are appointed to salvation) will not ultimately be possible. "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mark 13:22) .

"And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel" (Ezekiel 14:9) .
  • b. Believing the "lying wonders" of Satan (demons physically manifesting themselves as the stronger and smarter aliens who have been here from the beginning and can save us from ourselves or destroy us if we do not cooperate with the Paradigm Shift evolving all man into this higher Christ consciousness of becoming God), causes unelect man to love not the truth of the Gospel or believe the warnings of God's prophecy -- making them incapable of being saved.

  • c. God's book of judgment will close with the final purging of all the earth of those who reject the Truth and have pleasure in unrighteousness. Yes, there is right and wrong. That is what this is all about! God's strong delusion will cause their wickedness to be full so that their final damnation will be complete. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thessalonians 2:11-12) .
