FALSE PROPHETS PART I
Matthew 24:24

In the writing of the Apostles and that of Paul. There is a continual concern for the welfare of the brethren. The ministers of Jesus knew the power of Satan and how he would attempt to deceive, if possible, the Very Elect. This vigil against error was of great concern to the Prophets of old. Man’s deceptive mind is a continual threat to established truth, as found in the Churches.

Satan’s method was to work within the Church to create confusion by detracting people from the truth under guise of truth. This he did by False Prophets and Teachers who arose within the Church in the name of truth, yet spoke lies and led people away from God.

In God’s overall plan of redemption, the Messiah was to come and establish the true Church with these words, “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). Satan was aware of this plan and looked forward to creating a Counterfeit Church in the mane of truth.

Jesus fortold this period vividly: “For False Christ’s and False Prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, of possible, even the very elect: (Matthew 24:24). It is time for all true people of God to awake to the great evil in many Churches that have been craftily put there by Satan through humans agencies by the Evil One (Satan). Christianity is a gospel of Salvation; it is also a Way of Life.

True Religions has always been plagued by imitators. Alongside the faithful and True Prophets of the Lord there were other men who had not received a revelation from God. Jeremiah refused to have anything to do with these men (Jeremiah, chapter 28). There were those who claimed to have received messages from God, who as a matter of fact, did not receive such messages.

There are sincere theologians who teach against the works of the devil and his demons, some of them vividly even going so far as to cast demons out. Is it possible for such to be deluded by the very devil they preach against? “For such are False Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ. And it is no secret, for Satan himself is transformed into and Angel of Light” (2Corinthians 11:13-14).

There are those in the world who may preach powerfully against Satan and his evil works. They may accurately show how he gets to people through much of today’s music and entertainment. They may even urge acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior, but they do not teach the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
