My husband likes to listen to the news in the morning before starting our day. As I listened someone came on speaking about all the scams especially against the elderly who fall into their traps, ending up giving them money out of fear their house or car will be repossessed when they have no debt, but they are led to believe something is wrong when it is not.
It reminds me of all the things we live with every day that are lies against the truth. The lies in the organized church, the lies about gender, the lies against marriage, the lies adult children believe about their parents, the lies about food, the lies in politics, lies in the media, the list could be much longer.
We are living in times of monstrous deception when just about everything we hear and see has a measure of deception in it.
Born-gain believers must be strong enough to ignore the deception, believe, and proclaim truth while everyone else around them is being caught up in these myths, misrepresentations, and lying that occurs every day in every place with nearly every person.
We must trust the Holy Spirit more than ever in these last days of deception.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
"10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
2 Timothy 4:3
"3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
Since our culture worldwide is based almost entirely on "feelings" rather than truth we can expect these deceptions to grow as we near the last of the last days.
More people will reject and mock us than come alongside in agreement. In fact, those who believe Christ will be very few compared to the population of the world. Many believers have little to no companionship now, they are rejected because of their love of Christ and His Word.
Even those who say they are "Bible-believing" really don't know it enough to defend it in truth. Most are adding things to the Bible God never said and become agitated when corrected for their misuse of God's Word.
This does not make us depressed because we know the prophecy of God told us this would happen. It means that we will be going home soon, escaping the wrath of God in the tribulation while we enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb with our Savior Jesus Christ.
Then we know we will come back with Christ when He destroys evil upon the earth. Even more exciting than all of this is that in the Millennium Christ will rule the entire earth and we the raptured believers will rule with Him. Hallelujah!!!!!
Don't forget we are watching prophecy play out before our eyes, understanding what the prophets wrote and didn't understand themselves. The book has been unsealed and we are the end days remnant.
So brothers and sisters even though we must endure this mess for a time we will see the ending and glory in His appearing in the clouds. God told us what to expect, I believe Him and my joy is great because of what I know that He told us in His Word, the Bible and through His Holy Spirit.
