Anti Anti-Christ part two

 

Right now (this was written before the Charlie Kirk revival), we (the USA) are modeling for the world, how to build and live in Babylon,  not the New Jerusalem.  Love of money is our mantra, not love of God. Self is exalted over God, in church after church,  in heart after heart, across the land, yet we think we're a "Christian" nation. We do not know that we are wretched and miserable,  and poor (in spirit) and blind (spiritually) and naked. We do not know our true condition.

  We believe we are followers of Christ even while we are rejecting Him and accepting the spirit of the Anti-Christ.  "LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU - BY ANY MEANS: FOR THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST". He's talking about Christians here - the heathen cannot "fall away", only the saints can, or those who claim to be saints. Not everyone who says to Him "Lord, Lord", belongs to Him. This is the separating of the tares and the wheat before the harvest  - for the man of sin must be revealed  - the son of perdition.  Perdition: noun - "A state of final spiritual ruin, loss of the soul, damnation".  When he is revealed,  his body will be exposed too, his people,  those who belong to and follow him, full of his spirit - just as Christ has a body and a Spirit to inhabit it, so does the Anti-Christ: WHO OPPOSES AND EXALTS HIMSELF ABOVE THAT IS CALLED GOD OR WORSHIPPED - this was the reason he was cast out of Heaven and it is the reason he will one day be cast into the lake of fire- he wants to be worshipped,  he wants to be called "God" - he provokes the hearts of men to do the same  - to exalt themselves above God, even calling themselves "gods" - the ultimate "Abomination that causes desolation" is man emulating Satan by worshipping himself! "SO THAT HE, AS GOD, SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD" know you not that you are the Temple of God? Your heart, His throne,  your body, His footstool? When it states Satan sits as God in the Temple of God  - it's referring to the minds and hearts of men! Satan comes with great cunning, with "ALL POWER AND SIGNS AND LYING WONDERS" - think about that - he will perform miracles  - he will demonstrate his credentials as Jesus did, showing that he is God and should be worshipped as God by demonstrating power and miracles,  signs and wonders  - but they'll be "lying wonders" for they will glorify him - not our Lord Jesus,  the Christ: always watch for that - who is receiving glory when a man or woman ministers to you? If they take any glory for themselves,  if they exalt their own names, if they accept the adulation and praise of men - it may be a clear indication that they are of the Anti-Christ and not of God. The Anti-Christ and those anointed by him, will show forth "ALL DECIEVABLENESS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS" . How does unrighteousness deceive? By masking itself as righteousness! Many who are following the Anti-Christ spirit birthed by Satan are filling churches believing they are followers of Christ  - yet deriving their righteousness,  not from Him, but by following and obeying a set of rules and doctrines.  In their pride, they believe they are right with God because they obey their masters (pastors) yet God commands us "BE NOT YE THE SERVANTS OF MEN".
