The Great Delusion!


Are you ready for the Great Delusion that is coming?
This is a God sent delusion
To those who refuse to love the Truth and therefore be saved;
Those who reject the Christ of God.
The apostle Paul speaks of this in 2 Thessalonians 2.

Understand this, Scripture teaches us that
Satan owns all the people of the entire world, they are slaves to sin.
The only ones he does not own 
Are those who have given their lives to Christ Jesus;
Those who have given up their lives in this life to receive the LIFE of Christ;
Those who have been crucified with Christ and no longer live,
But Christ lives in and through them;
Those who love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

The Great Delusion will be the revealing of the son of Satan,
The Antichrist, the Beast, in the full, supernatural power, of Satan:

The coming of the lawless one (the Antichrist, the Beast)
Will be in accordance with the work of Satan
Displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
And in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the Truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion,
So that they will believe the lie and so that
All will be condemned who have not believed the Truth
But have delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

The lie is that Satan is god.
This Great Delusion will be so powerful that it would deceive even the Elect
If that were possible, but it is not. Christ Jesus said:

At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'
Or, 'There he is! Do not believe it.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear 
And perform great signs and miracles 
To deceive even the elect—if that were possible.
See, I have told you ahead of time. (Matthew 24:24)

Satan knows that his time is very short.
He is currently putting in place his “Set-Up;”
He has lead the nations of the world into moral and economic bankruptcy.
Soon, as the economies of the nations collapse;
As they are in complete economic, social and political chaos,
He will present his son, the Antichrist, the Beast
With the “Solution” to their problems.
Just receive his “mark” and worship him and all will be well.
The “mark” will be the new currency of the world.
No one will be able to buy or sell without it.
All the worthless currencies of the world will be done away with.
The Word of God declares:
One of the heads of the Beast seemed to have had a fatal wound,
But the fatal wound had been healed.
The whole world was astonished and followed the Beast. (Revelation 13:3)

He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them.
And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast--
All whose names have not been written in the Book of LIFE
Belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed.

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
(Revelation 13:7-10)

The False Prophet
Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth.
He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.
He exercised all the authority of the first Beast on his behalf,
And made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first Beast,
Whose fatal wound had been healed.
And he performed great and miraculous signs,
Even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of men.

Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first Beast,
He deceived the inhabitants of the earth,

He ordered them to set up an “image” in honor of the Beast
Who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
He was given power to give breath to the “image” of the first Beast,
So that it could speak
And cause all who refused to worship the “image” to be killed.

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,
To receive a “mark” on his right hand or on his forehead,
So that no one could buy or sell unless he had the “mark,”
Which is the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

This calls for wisdom.
If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the Beast,
For it is man's number. His number is 666. (Revelation 13:11-18)

Christ Jesus said of the Book of Revelation:
Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy,
And blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it,
Because the time is near. (Revelation 1:3)

Today, I am telling you, by the Spirit of God,
The time that Christ Jesus spoke of is at the door!
Turn to Christ Jesus now with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Be baptized (immersed) in His Holy Spirit.
Gather with those who honor the words of Christ Jesus;
Those who accept the words of The Book of Revelation, as written,
And are blessed because of it.
Then, you will not be deceived with the rest of the world,
And be able to stand before the Christ Jesus unashamed at His appearing.
