LYING WONDERS: “ANTICHRIST IS WAITING SATAN’S POWER”(Revelation 13:4)
IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE EVIDENCE OF THE ANTICHRIST YOU MAY BE SPIRITUALLY BLIND! No student of the Holy Scripture who has even a limited knowledge of world events would dare question the nearness of the Antichrist appearance. The “”MAN OF SIN” is at the door. Streams of diverse religions are experiencing explosive revival. A recent advertisement in U.S.A. Today announced Mary appearances (called apparitions) throughout the world. The Tara Center Newsletter, called “Network News,” reported appearances of the christ, called “Maitreya” in Kenya and other locations.
A noted New Ager, Benjamin Crème, who claims to be the master for Maitreya gave the following report. “According to BC, Maitreya appears to people in many stations of life, but always in a way that coincides with their concepts of Him. One recent case, that has been reported around the world, occurred in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. There, a charismatic Christian named Sister Mary Akatsa has a faith-healing center where many miraculous cures are said to take place. Last month she announced that an important visitor would come and address the people. On June 11 He appeared suddenly in the crowd and spoke to them in their own language, Swahili, for a time. The visitor, she claimed was Jesus Christ. Photographs were taken and have been show with stories in the Kenya Times, the BBC World Service, CNN and one of the largest newspapers in Japan. Additional stories have appeared in the Manchester Guardian in the UK, National Public Radio in the US, and possibly elsewhere.”
“Through his own Master, Benjamin Crème confirmed that this appearance was truly Maitreya, the Christ in one of His many guises.” He also reported “crosses of light,” which he describes as the sign of the Christ. He claims one was witnessed in Louisiana and another at El Monte, California. Mr. Crème is a devout supporter of the apparitions of Mary and promises that these manifestations will continue to appear. He says of the Madonna’s visions, “the authentic visions of the Madonna are the work of the Master who was the mother of Jesus in that earlier time.” (Benjamin Crème, “Network News”)
There is probably no “Lying Wonder” more prominent and deceiving than the idea of the Virgin Mary apparitions. Catholic friends have warned me not to attack the Mother of Jesus or belittle her appearances. The very idea of this blessed woman being ridiculed seems to many people as a blasphemous thing. What is the real truth behind her elevation in the Catholic theology that would pave the way for such deception? She surely was the virgin maiden whom the Holy Ghost overshadowed and by whom the Son of God was born. She was a saintly and Godly woman, but was not, and is not, “The mother of God,’ without inherent sin, always a virgin who was translated to heaven without death.”
When she is given an idolatrous position as co-redemptrix with Jesus Christ, the Word of God is horribly violated. The hierarchy of Catholicism has twisted the Word of God to create a monstrous lie which will damn a myriad of souls to eternal hell. Satan’s darkest lies are always tied to God’s best truths. The purpose is to make the true prophet of God appear unbalanced and uncaring. The Marian doctrine was no doubt the plan of Satan as much for end time deception as for the dark ages of bondage.
It is becoming clear that the doctrine of Maryology and the deceptive appearances will be one of the major methods for satanic delusion, his lying wonders and his unifying the apostate religious leaders. Key personalities from the Pentecostal and Evangelical world are becoming dedicated supporters of Marian apparitions. In a recent book on “the Madonna of Medjugorje,” the following report was given of a key Pentecostal figure now deceased. He was called “Mr. Pentecost.”
The author’s words as following are scary. “But a well-known American Pentecostal leader, David du Plessis, came away with a quite different impression. Having expected to find unrestrained Mary-worship, he had been amazed to discover the emphasis being placed on Jesus and the New Testament. The whole place,” he concluded, “ is charged with the love of God. You can feel it and you can see it. I told myself that if there had been anything wrong with what was happening here, there would not be the manifestations of the Holy Spirit that I could clearly observe.” “There is a rare kind of unison about the prayers and hymns,” another observer noted, “real attentiveness to the lengthy sermons, tolerance for cold stone floors for hour after hour, long lines of penitents waiting for confession at the head of each aisle and at many other points in the church. I felt personally that I was in the midst of people who were truly raising their minds and hearts to God.” (Spark From Heaven, Mary Craig, page 117)
One of the principal fruits of the Medjugorje event is called the “New Ecumenism.” This “New Ecumenism” as they named it is all inclusive. We are not talking about Christians united together beyond denominational barriers or even Protestants, Catholics, and Jews. That is the old Ecumenism. The new will be inclusive of all the religious expressions including heathens, witch doctors and will eventually embrace WICCA and other Satanist groups. It is clearly the preparation for the false prophet who will be the anti-holy spirit of tribulation.
Here are the words of a Catholic Archbishop. “Within the Church itself, there were those, on the left, who were allergic to the mere mention of apparitions, discussing them as hallucinations, a projection of the subjective unconscious; while the traditionalists on the right would condemn and reject the Ecumenical message of Medjugorje, the new Ecumenism which Archbishop Frane Franic of Split praised as one of Medjugorje’s principal fruits. His observation, that ‘Our Lady is bringing us closer together, uniting us with our brothers from the Orthodox Church, the Muslims and even our Marxist brothers,’ was calculated to sent a shudder down many a conservative Catholic’s spine, but warmly endorsed by a Muslim dervish from Mostar who had been into the apparitions room.” (Ibid.)
These are the words of the Muslim dervish who was mentioned above. “I felt in my heart such energy that I could have cried aloud. I thought that I too would go into ecstasy. I decided to pray the whole night…The world is looking for God. If it looks for Him, it will find Him. If it finds Him, it will cling lovingly to Him, and he who is in love with God cannot ever be separated from Him.” (Ibid.)
The following quotes of a priest even includes the Hindoos. “May the reconciliation in Medjugorje and in the diocese of Mostar become a channel for wider reconciliation between Catholics, Orthodox Christians and Muslims of the region, so that the reconciled people of Hercegovina may become an inspiration to other regions of the world in need of reconciliation: between Jews and Arabs, between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon, between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, between Hindoos and Muslims, between Iraq and Iran, between rich and poor, between oppressors and oppressed everywhere.”
Every Bible believer should watch this idea of a “New Ecumenism.” It will continue to spread and many in our churches that only recently were bastions of Fundamentalism will be swayed into their camp. The only safeguard to the present apostasy is the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, while living under absolute authority to the Word of God.
This “New Ecumenism” has already surfaced in the Pentecostal ranks under the guises of several ideas. Dominion Theology, Restoration, City Church, New Wave are a few names connected with the early stages. The key element in all of these thoughts is an emphasis on prophetic utterances apart from and even superceding the Word of God. These ideas are all based on new subjective theological thinking that leaves the door wide open to deception. The infallible Word of God is the only objective base for truth. Holy Spirit revelation, inspiration, or supernatural activity is always clearly, unquestionably and plainly anchored in Holy Scripture. Not one jot or tittle of departure can be tolerated.
The Apparition Of Fatima! An elaborate figure of “Our Lady of Fatima” is called the “traveling” statue and has been on the circuit since 1947. The picture of this statue was just published in Elkins, West Virginia where it was on display and religious services were being held. This statue is reported to have miraculously shed tears 22 times. Books have been written on the supernatural events and healings connected with this particular apparition in Portugal. The following description of the original event was reported in the Elkins, West Virginia newspaper. “Messages given to the children by the apparition of Mary included, that if certain conditions were met, Russia would be converted and an era of peace will be granted to all people. The conditions included praying the Rosary daily, obeying the Ten Commandments, offering sacrifices demanded by daily duty, and wearing a scapular—two pieces of brown cloth connected by a cord and worn around the shoulders as a symbol of the profession of faith.” (The Inter-Mountain, Elkins, W.Va., Wednesday, October 9, 1991, page 7.)
The children were the actual witnesses. They were 9, 8, and 6 years old. The visions were supposed to have happened once a month from May 13 through October 13, 1917. It’s incredible that an event involving three young children has now grown to be a worldwide phenomenon with a weeping statue and a multi-million dollar enterprise. The secular media would go crazy if a fundamentalist ministry would involve so much elaborate outlay of money and beguile so many elderly or suffering people. It’s a deception on a level that transcends all the modern televangelists put together.
ROMAN SHRINE AT LOURDES! An entire article could be written about Lourdes, France and the religious deception involved. The following was printed in “Midnight Call,” along with the picture of this famous shrine. “The famous Roman shrine is located in southwest France in the city of Lourdes. Here is where mainly Roman Catholics come from the world over climbing the so-called “Holy Stairs” to the shrine to gain indulgence. A posted notice roughly reads, ‘Four times a year, to the days of their choice, all the faithful who climb the stairs gain an indulgence of nine years on the following conditions:”
1. Having confessed and communicated.
2. Ascended on their knees.
3. Prayed for the Pope.
It is significant that while kneeling and ascending to the shrine, they are facing the symbol of Rome and Pontius Pilate. Jesus is a powerless prisoner to the left.” (Midnight Call, October, 1991, page 14.)
MARIAN YEAR PROCLAIMED BY POPE. The explosion of Maryology influence and the worldwide activity of different apparitions is not an accident. It is all clearly calculated to promote the Catholic Church and to seek world dominion by this harlot of Revelation. Pope John Paul was a clever leader playing all sides against the middle. His influence mushroomed and world religious leaders were not about to resist. A “One World Religion” is very near. “1988” was proclaimed by the Pope as the “Marian Year. Connected with this prayer is a short statement by a priest called “Brother Patrick Concidine, C.SS.R. The words of that prayer were blasphemous suggestions that Mary was the savior or protector of Jesus from the fears He experienced. It’s a subtle reduction of the Son of God while Mary is elevated as His savior.
The Harlot is on the ascendancy. I do not believe that ordinary Catholic people are any less sincere or more evil than Protestants. There are many wonderful people in both arms of Christendom, but most are utterly untaught by their shepherds and certainly unaware of the coming cloud. Those churches that were powerful for God a few years ago are now descending into the same confusion. It’s a world of apostasy that is coexisting with loud statements of success and victory. The evidence is in. The Antichrist is at hand! Signs and wonders can tell the loudest lies of all. The hearts of all humankind are so besieged with difficulty that everyone is looking for hope. We tend to grasp those ideas or experiences that give us emotional lifts when we need to fix our heart on Jesus Christ and His clear promises. Emotions are temporary but the promises of Scripture made real by Holy Ghost filled prayer are stable and satisfying. Those who survive this last hour before Jesus appears will be the “hardy” and the “holy.” THE ANTICHRIST IS AT HAND! (TO BE CONTINUED! Next week we will see WONDERS in leading Charismatic circles, WONDERS that cannot be called Biblical

Pastor Joseph, I can pretty much guarantee that you will get a great deal of strident and negative reactions from those who belong to churches that believe these “apparitions” are genuine. But the thing is, you are correct!
I believe Mary would be appalled at the thought of her being venerated, worshiped or prayed to. The Bible presents her as viewing herself as the “handmaiden” of the Lord, and she at one point even refers to God as her savior. If she was sinless, why would she need a savior?
No, Mary was every bit as human, every bit as susceptible to sin as the rest of us. To deify her or anyone else in any way violates the First Commandment, no matter how exemplary their lives were.
I expect any number of posters won’t like what I’ve written here either, but I’m not running for a popularity contest. I respect people enough to relate to them what I believe is the truth according to Scripture, even if they don’t want to hear it.
Neil Derrick
Thanks for this!!!! satan surely is on the loose, I believe anti-Christ is alive somewhere on this planet. I also believe that one of satan’s diciples lives in the White House (satan has him in the palm of his hand). May GOD have mercy on us, and may the Rapture come soon!!!!!!!
Bill Scudder
The anti-christ is near at hand and I believe that he will appear and be known before the return of Christ. I also think that the vatican and the Pope will iether the anti-christ or the false prophet.
I don’t know of ny classical Pentcostal of which I am one, believe in the Marion apparitions.

IT IS WRITTEN THAT THE WISE CANNOT BE DECEIVED.

Although some of what you have written is true, I do think we in the Protestant tradition have neglected emphasizing the importance of Mary. The virgin birth is absolutely essential to a correct doctrine of Christ and has been strongly defended by most evangelicals, yet we never delve into the person who really, in a sense, allowed it all to happen-Mary, the mother of Jesus. She certainly did not cause the Incarnation (only God alone in His infinite love did that), but without her co-operation would it have taken place (at least in the way it did) or would God have chosen another woman?
There is a truth that this most personal of acts-carrying and birthing a chid, in this case the Son of God-seen in its proper light-could be source of great inspiration to us.
We who emphasize spirituality and holiness could, in fact, benefit from her example while (as you point out), always guarding orthodox doctrine.
Especially with Christmas coming soon, this would be a good time to rediscover the greatness of the doctrines of the Incarnation, the holiness of God, and the virgin birth.

Dear Pastor,
Great article, lots to think about. Semiramis From Assyrian Myth is known as the (Babylon)Queen of Heaven, which is not a coincidence, as Mary Mother of Jesus is now erringly being referred to as the Queen of Heaven.
There is a stone statue of Semiramis in Bohemian Grove 70 miles North of San Francisco, it is bordered by Owls (filthy Birds), one to the left and one to the right. There are reports about dark rituals being held there. (alleged Antichrist) David Icke goes into this in great detail,i pray he finds Jesus in his search.
When they the cried for hours in Ephesus to uphold Artemis the image that fell from Heaven and Easter Ashtaroth being the moon goddess (Islam) and goddess of fertility.Then Zechariah 5: 1-12 as you taught me Pastor, i must have watched that tape 5 times. Two Women with the wings of a stork(filthy Birds) moving wickedness ,the Woman in the Ephah AKA the 666 money system. The theme remains the same, a global feminine element of support for the AntiChrist. Perhaps this is the seducing spirit?
Could it be in our churches too?
When was the last time women were truly addressed in our Churches, about abortion, divorce, Gossip do you love your Husband and Children, etc. If G-d loves His children he rebukes and admonishes all of us; Women and Men both, he does not show partiality. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling regardless of who we are. No discipline no Love!!! As Ed said; Mary Was just a fallible as the rest of us.
Parallel events are happening all over the World. Alternating between Rome and old Rome which we call Babylon. Yet we are not to know the deep things of Satan Rev 2:24 KJV. Everyone seems to be returning, but i won’t be inundated or intimidated by this
To the New Agers Maitreya
The Buddhists The fifth Buddha
To Islam Mahdi
To the Jews The Messiah
To Christians Jesus
Isaiah Ch 11:3 And shall make him quick of understanding in the fear of the Lord: he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears. Neither should we, we must adhere as most do at this site to the Berean call; check everything out.
Looking for Mary out in the dessert or the inner room is not on my agenda, i am to look up when i see these things happening.
look forward to the next instalment on this subject.
God Bless

Very well said Pastor (Bro),
What would we do w/o these times eschatology, personally I’d flip out if it were not for His ‘words’. Years ago a friend of ours (wife,I) mother devout Roman Catholic (she passed away a few years back) could not understand how we (wife & I) as non catholic’s could possibly be Saved, she thought she understood scripture (thoroughly indoctrinated) and was sure that we were lost just because we were not of her faith. This puzzled me because Connie (our friend) does understand that it’s what Jesus did at the cross (free Gift) that assures us of our Salvation (in a nut shell w/out works) but noticing on EWTN (a Catholic network on dish) on what it means to be ‘Catholic’ and not what it means to be blood bought, forgiven redeemed was what ‘they’ were pushing (back to the ‘mother church’) and I thought ‘how odd’ but also how prophetic! Here in America (being the big satan) were are being slammed by ‘all’ fronts, our kids are allowed to anything but Jesus and at the same time are indoctrinated into being little ‘not-sees’ (brown shirts – blue hats) along w/being God haters w/out even knowing His true Love. Sometimes I pray, Lord how much more, how much more time, am I being selfish, I ask, then the Lord brings to mind the true persecuted Church to humble me.
Forgive me (please don’t publish this) we all need to pray and help our brothers and sisters globally along with the boldness that will needed to witness in what seems to be some very troubling times ahead, Satan, again w/this Essau encroachment trying to smother the world and Rome w/their arms wide open ushering in the whore who cares nothing about the things of our God and Savior and saving souls from eternal death, Hell, separation from our Father God forever.
God bless you folk’s,
right now all i can do
is pray for your ministry,
Lord willing, soon be able
to budget you all in.

Dear Pastor Chambers,
Can’t wait for part II of this commentary ! The onslaught of attacks you’ll probably receive from writing this just proves the truth you’ve proclaimed and how late the hour is.
Those that have ears to hear are ready to take to heart your message.
Joseph Saraceno
Catholics do not pray to Mary. We ask Mary, the mother of all
Christians to pray for us. No private revelation, (apparitions)
are binding upon Catholics. They are not part of the deposit of faith.
Mary is God’s daughter, Wife and Mother, so it was only fasionable
that she would be concieved without sin. Just as Jeremiah and John the
Baptist were born without sin, still all parties were not immune from
the effects of original sin. Pain, ageing, illness.
No one knows how our spiritual Mother left this world. It is generally
accepted that the instant that she was dieing she became transformd into
her ghost and went to heaven, just as what will happen to us during the
general judgment. At a twinkeling of an eye. And if you believe in the
rapture, same thing will happen to you then or at the end of the world.
“My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…
…henceforth all generations shall call me blessed….” Lk.1:46-55

NANCY FOWLER AND fATIMA II IN CONYERS GA
Dear Joe Chambers,
There are lots of CLAIMS OF MARIAN APPARITIONS going on today by Catholics. In Prtugal the FATIMA EVENT happened in the early 1900s, in which some Catholic children claimed to see Virigin Mary. Another event just like it happened in the 1990s in Conyers GA at Nancy Fowler’s farm. She claimed to se the Virgin Mary on a bright sunny day. It involves LOOKING AT THE SUN and people claimed to se Mary in the sun. After Looking at the sun, some one SAW THE LIGHT-BULB ON THE PORCH LIGHT AND SAID IT LOOKS RED. The Someone said The porch light is RED BECAUSE IT IS OF THE DEVIL. Of couse if you look at the sun for a while, a porch light is going to look dimmer in comparison compared with the blue-white sun. Incandescent bulbs are yellow in color, while arc lights (about as hot as the sun) are more blue-white, as well as lightning. Fluorescents are blue too. The Mariean Appiritions started out small, and later became very large with 80,000 people comming to NANCY FOWLER’S FAR NEAR CONYERS GA about 30 miles east of Atlanta. IT WAS AMERICA’S FATIMA. That was the LARGEST MARIAN APPARITIONS EVENT IN THE USA. People comming from all over the USA to that event, and overloading the roads in that area. THE NEW GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDA say “THE MARIAN APPARITIONS AT CONYERS ARE NOW PART OF A LON HISTORY OF APPEARANCES BY THE VIRGIN MARY THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED SICE THE MIDDLE AGES, INCLUDING THE FAMOUS VISIONS IN GUADALUPE, MEXICO; LOURDES, FRANCE; AND FATIMA, PRTUGAL.” If you want to find out more just GOOGLE UP “NAMCY FOWLER – MARIEAN APPARTIONS IN CONYERS” and you can find the articles on it. Large numbers of people gathered at her farm. Local officials did notl like all the traffic that it brought.
To tell you the truth, it is not the REAL MARY (she is embarassed by all this) DOES NOT MAKE ANY APPEARANCES AT THESES APPARITIONS SITES, IT IS THE DEVILS DEMONS THAT APPEAR AT THESE SITES. SO WHEN SOMEON THERE SAID THE PORCH LIGHT WAS OF THE DEVIL BECAUSE IT LOOKED RED AFTER LOOKING AT THE SUN, THEY WERE RIGHT, THE DEVIL WAS THERE. iT IS THE FALLEN ANGELS THAT MAKE THESE APPEARANCES. tHAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SATAN APPEARS AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.
These “APPARITIONS” ARE INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH which will become the core of the Great Harlot Church, which the Protestants and Evangelicals eventually join up along withe the Muslims and Pagans. This will bring the Anti-Christ to power. The “APPARITIONS” are carried out by DEMONS IMPERSONATING MARY. So the “RED PORCH LIGHT” alerted someone that THE DEVIL WAS THERE.
Conyers is a favorite gathering place for Catholics.
Dont go to an “APPARITIONS” EVENTS it is where the devil and his demons go to deceive people.
Sincerely,
Keith Black

My Bible clearly states ” That the very elect will be deceived.” Well let me tell you that this has come to pass over the last couple of years. Even I find it hard to comprehend it myself, that some of the worlds most well known Christian leaders, pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelists and apostles have joined the Knights of Malta which has its headquarters in the Vatican of Rome controlled and operated by the Catholic church. And has a number of polices eg World Government, World Bank, End of all Property Rights, Promote the United Nations as the hope for peace, promote the Pope as the acting go-between for the United States and the Soviet Union, and support sanctions honoring Father Pierre Teihard de Chardin-the New Age Humanist Priest. plus promote all religions as one that includes Free-masons, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Druidism, New Age, Muslims, Jesuits etc. and to make them come together as one New World Religion.
Mike Roodt
Could not agree with you more, the deception is reaching it’s climax & Oh so many are being deceived. The one who is prophesied is surely to be revealed in the not too distant future. We need to heed the warning of our Lord “to not be deceived”. Evebn so come Lord Jesus.
Janet Mayfield
Dear Pastor Chambers,
We lost a warrior this week who has been Fighting against the false religious system called the Catholic Church most of his life and he went to be with His Lord. It was Dr. Bill Jackson, and I honor his life. His teaching called “do/done” explained grace to many Catholic who never heard the true gospel.
Tim Berk
I have to wonder if the high regard for Mary that is seen in the Catholic beliefs and also in the Islamic beliefs might be used to unite the two faiths with this common thread.
Matthew
Keep pressing the fight brother! Jesus is coming for His Church and we will be out of here!

Rebel Prince Satan’s first clear-cut insolent blasphemy of GOD is recorded in Job i : 7,
under the guise of sneering at Job’s interested righteousness.
But we have to wait until Matthew iv : 1-11 for his most blatant blasphemous disrespect
For his Creator, by tempting HIM into doing things at his devilish bidding, and last but
not least, by suggesting that his Maker Worships HIS Own Creation, namely the angel that
had turned into the enemy.
For years this passage had been a stumbling block to my faith, for I could not conceive that
JESUS Would Let Such supreme blasphemy go unpunished.
Second only in blasphemy to the above is Satan’s turning Mary Mother Of JESUS into a “Co-Redemptrix”
(in fact, a superior One !) in order to set CHRISTians against each other.
However painful it is, we Evangelicals must stand firm in our rejection of this satanic
doctrine, whatever the pleasant apparitions-and-healing-miracles-enhancement it is served with.
On the other hand, the Evangelical pendulum for fear of heresy, has sometimes swung too far
as to border on the demeaning of this most “Blessed…among women” (Luke i : 42) by deliberately
belittling and ignoring her, as I had heard preached once (I could only sullenly mumble to
myself that the day will come when the author of all this will have to pay for it).
But I think too that, IN HIS OMNISCIENCE GOD HAD PROVIDED VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT her,
IN ORDER TO UNDERCUT Satan’s plan of inventing a cult falsely based on Scripture.
We the JESUS’BLOOD-redeemed, will one day pay her our due respect.
locnguyen
Dear Mr. Jim,
concur wholly and heartily with you on our Protestant reluctance to show respect and love
For Mary, for a very Ephesian fear of falling into heresy !
True, she was not without fault, as when she tried to bid JESUS INTO PERFORMING A MIRACLE
at the wedding feast in Cana, provoking HIS REMINDING her that HE DOES ONLY WHAT HIS
FATHER TELLS HIM ( John ii : 4 ) Nevertheless HE DID TURN water INTO most excellent wine.
She Was Present At The Cross Where HE RECOMMENDED Her To The Beloved Disciple John As Her
New Son (John xix : 23-30)
Ray Walker
I do not know much about Rick Warrens book. But when a church that we go to wanted everybody to get the book and study and live by if. My spirit almost puked. I did not know anything except it went cross grain with my spirit when the name was mentioned. Consequently, I have never nor will never read his stuff. I trust in my recreated spirit led by the Holy Spirit of God to keep me.

My Bible clearly states ” That the very elect will be deceived.”
****************************************************************************
Let me suggest that Mr. K.G. Webb get his Bible out and actually read it, or perhaps he needs a new Bible. NOWHERE in the Bible does it state that ” the very elect will be deceived.”
That poison has been going around for years, by word of mouth, being spewed by those who obviously DO NOT READ AND STUDY THE BIBLE !
It states the exactly the opposite; that they will NOT be deceived.
Mt 24:24 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.
if it were possible
if it were possible
if it were possible
Mk 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
1Pt 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Mt 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
[The ELECT are NOT included here …………. ]
Mt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[The ELECT are NOT included here …………. ]
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
2Tm 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Rv 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

To Mr. James
You are right.
The Very Elect naturally will be targeted by the devil’s supreme minion,
who will try to deceive them “if possible”, or as one GOD’S Servant wrote recently
“whenever possible”.
However, as brother Hal Lindsey wrote 41 years ago in “The Late Great Planet Earth”,
some will be deceived at first impact but not utterly deceived, for it is not
possible For GOD’S HOLY-SPIRIT-Warned Elect To Be Taken In this counterfeit for “good” !
However, our LORD’S WARNING IS A Sobering Reminder of the prince of this world’s mighty
power of deception.

Joseph, instead of using a toiler, has relived himselv in the article above. This is such an out of context collection of lies I am stupified by the brain that managed to put this crazy quilt together.
And the read of you, nodding and agreeing should be ashamed of yourselves.
Thje sickness of sectarianism made up by unauthorized, unordained, self-appointed “brothers
” such as Joseph and the rest of you are doomed to hell by your deeds of calumny and gossip.
I leave you to the mercy of God who knows how badly you have trammeled the Commandments. You not only hate your neighbor, you murder truth.
I pity the lot of you.
