The False Messiah

The False Messiah - by Greg Laurie � www.harvest.org Jesus told them, �Don�t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, �I am the Messiah.� They will deceive many� �Matthew 24:4�5 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/the-false-messiah/- Listen I heard about a man who bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas. But his decision confused his friend, who said, �Wow, you bought her a diamond ring? I thoughtshe wanted one of those four-wheel-drive vehicles.� �Well, she did,� he replied. �But where am I going to find a fake Jeep?� If something is good, there always will be imitators. And that�s who the Antichrist will be. The prefix anti- not only means �against,� but it also means �instead of.� Sothe Antichrist will be a false Christ sent by Satan himself. He�s an imitation of the real Jesus. On the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked Jesus, �Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?� (Matthew 24:3 NLT). Jesus replied, �Don�t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, �I am the Messiah.� They will deceive many� (verses 4�5 NLT). The Antichrist will be a false Messiah, and some will believe that he is the Messiah. He will be history�s vilest embodiment of sin and rebellion. But he�s not going tobe what some may expect. He�ll be suave, intelligent, charming, engaging, magnetic, and charismatic. He even will solve the Middle East peace puzzle. But then he will show who he really is. So why even give a passing thought to someone as evil as the Antichrist? Because the Bible contains more than 100 passages detailing his career, nationality, character,kingdom, and final doom. So we need to understand what his agenda is and what he will attempt to do. But remember, as dark as this period of time will be, God is sovereign over all history. History is His story. God is in control, and we don�t have to be afraid. ------------------------------------------------ Growing Worse by the Day - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2021/09/05/growing-worse-by-the-day-by-daymond-duck/ Things seem to be growing worse by the day, and many students of Bible prophecy believe that is exactly what will happen at the end of the age. It is bittersweet: Bitter because it signifies that the world is approaching the Tribulation Period, and sweet because it signifies that Jesus is coming soon to straightenthings out. Here are some of the events that recently got this writer’s attention: One, when the U.S. started withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan,the U.S. turned over some of its military bases to the Afghan government, the Afghan government collapsed, the Taliban took over the nation, and the Taliban freed thousands of captured ISIS troops from Afghan prisons (confirmed by the Pentagon on Aug. 27,2021). On Aug. 25, 2021, a group of Islamic State terrorists (called ISIS-K) exploded bombs at the airport in Kabul that killed 12 U.S. Marines, 1 U.S. Navy officer, 169 Afghancitizens, and injured more than 200 other people (U.S. troops, women, children, etc.). On Aug. 26, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said the U.S. and U.K. were warned several hours before the attack that one was coming. Tsarfati said Biden sent the CIA to strike a deal with the Taliban to pay tens of millions of dollars (they would call it international aid or something like that insteadof a ransom) to allow U.S. citizens passage to the airport. According to Tsarfati, some officials believe the Taliban then started obstructing those trying to get to the airport because the Taliban would get more international aid/ransomfor many hostages than they would get for a few hostages. The Biden administration then said it had credible information that there would be more terrorist attacks, and it started warning U.S. citizens not to go to the airport(even though they had just 3 days to get there before the Aug. 31 deadline). Think about this: the Biden administration was relying on a terrorist organization called the Taliban (that released thousands of ISIS terrorists from prison) to protectour troops and citizens from a terrorist attack. When a U.S. Marine battalion commander created and posted a video criticizing our leaders and demanding accountability for the death of the Marines and Navy officer, hewas relieved of his command. Our leaders (under the influence of the shadow government) are: •The ones that gave the names, addresses and biometric I.D. information on U.S. citizens and our Afghan allies to the Taliban terrorists. •The ones that abandoned billions of dollars of weapons to the terrorist Taliban and won’t protect our border with Mexico. •The ones that turned hundreds of thousands of guns over to the terrorist Taliban and want to take guns away from U.S. citizens (don’t forget thatformer Pres. Obama also gave guns to the Mexican drug cartels). •The ones that are bussing and flying unvaccinated immigrants with Covid-19 into our nation and want to force U.S. citizens to be vaccinated or losetheir job. •The ones that we are trusting to defend our homeland from terrorists, a North Korea EMP attack, a sneak attack by China, etc. Who will protect America from the Shadow government and their Antichrist? If the Biden administration would give the names, addresses and biometric I.D. information of U.S. citizens to Taliban terrorists, why wouldn’t they give that, or vaccinationrecords, or any other information to the head of a world government? Two, concerning deceit: Biden said, “It is unlikely the Talibanwill take over Afghanistan.” (The Taliban took over Afghanistan.) Biden said, “No Americans will be left behind.” (Americans have been left behind). On Aug. 30, 2021, Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of the U.S. Central Command, said hundreds(perhaps in the low hundreds) of Americans have been left behind, but others said it could be thousands. Biden’s campaign slogan was “Build Back Better.” (Afghanistan has been destroyed, and the women in a nation of 35 million people have been enslaved). Biden also said the election was fair, the vaccinations work, etc.? This reminds me of the king that wore no clothes and no one would tell him. Update One: On Aug. 31, 2021, it was reported that the Talibanis already going from house to house and executing people. Update Two: On Aug. 31, 2021, a video was posted of the Taliban flying a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter over Kandahar with a body hanging below it. Update Three: On Aug. 31, 2021, it was reported that 90 U.S.Generals and Admirals have signed a letter calling for the resignation of Sec. of State Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley for botching the Afghanistan pull out. (Biden calls it a great success.) Three, it is being reported that the shadow government and theirDemocrat puppets are between a rock and a hard place with Pres. Biden. With 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, the U.S. Senate is split, and Vice-Pres. Kamala Harris can break ties by casting the deciding vote. If Biden dies or is removed, Harris will replace Biden, and the power to break tie votes (including a vote on anyone that is nominated to replace Harris) will switch fromHarris to Mitch McConnell (and control of the U.S. Senate will switch from Harris and the Democrats to McConnell and the Republicans). This could threaten the Democrats’ entire agenda, so the shadow government must keep Biden in office if they can. Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog, on Aug. 25, 2021,the head of Israel’s Defense Forces said Israel has speeded up its plans to deal with Iran’s nuclear program, and money has been budgeted to address the issue. He added that a team has been assembled to prepare for a strike should one be ordered by the Israeli government. Five, also concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Aug. 27,2021, Israeli Prime Min. Naftali Bennett met with Pres. Biden at the White House. Advance reporting indicated that Biden would ask Bennett for two things: 1) A freeze on all settlement construction, and 2) A promise not to attack Iran without U.S. permission. Said reporting indicated that Bennett would tell Biden the U.S. must immediately deal with Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons, or Israel will. It is obvious that Israel is preparing to strike Iran in the coming weeks if the U.S. and others fail to act. It is also obvious that Biden hasn’t been told what the Bible says about this, or he doesn’t remember it, or he doesn’t believe it. This doesn’t bode well for the U.S. Update One: Following the meeting, it was reported that Bennetttold reporters: •“These very days (a reference to what is happening in Afghanistan) illustrate what the world would look like if a radical Islamic regime acquireda nuclear weapon; that marriage would be a nuclear nightmare for the entire world.” •“We (Israel) will never outsource our security” (never turn control of Israel’s security over to the U.S.).” Update Two: On Aug. 30, 2021, Israel 365News reported that Bidennodded off to sleep while Bennett was talking during their meeting (it is on video). These are perilous times, and anyone that says Pres. Biden is qualified to lead the U.S./free world is lying or uninformed. It is likely that the calls to revise or reset global governance (replace Biden with leaders from a handful of nations; ten) will soon grow louder. Update Three: On Aug. 30, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati reportedthat Iran has decided that America is weak and will now go “full-blown nuclear.” He added that Iran is now “openly enriching uranium to 90%.” Six, concerning war between Israel and her neighbors: on Aug.29, 2021, the head of Israel’s Defense Forces said, “The IDF is preparing, with a concerted effort, for the possibility of another operation (war) in Gaza.” His statement followed the launching of several incendiary balloons and rockets into Israel and two weeks of violent protests. Another war in Gaza could lead to several prophesied wars. Seven, concerning perilous times (also the Kings of the East):on Aug. 30, 2021, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati noted that “China just announced that any vessel, whether it is above the water or under the water, that is entering into Chinese territorial waters or the disputed waters in the South China Sea with Japan andthe Philippines must report to the Chinese.” Many officials believe the disputed waters that China is claiming are international waters, meaning China’s claim is illegal. Tsarfati added, “While everybody is watching the incompetence of America, (Russia, Turkey, Iran, China and No. Korea) are willing to make a move.” Eight, concerning the Mark of the Beast and a global trackingsystem, on Aug. 30, 2021, it was reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) is urging its member nations to “roll out a global digital information system to check if people are vaccinated against Covid-19.” The WHO wants its member nations to force this system on all other nations, and it wants people that have been vaccinated (and are in this global system) to have benefitsthat others that are not in it won’t have. This would be a major step toward a global medical dictatorship. Nine, concerning a falling away in the Church: Harvard Universitywas founded under Church sponsorship in 1636 to train Puritan pastors. On Aug. 26, 2021, it was reported that the president of Harvard’s organization of Chaplains is an atheist, meaning Harvard has a Chaplain that doesn’t believe in the existence of God. If the elite that control a prestigious, once-Christian university are willing to allow a Chaplain that doesn’t believe in the existence of God, why is it so difficult tobelieve that other elite want to establish a godless world government and religion? If their Chaplain doesn’t believe what the Bible says about God, why should he believe what the Bible says about Satan, the Antichrist, or anything else, and why shouldany true Church want a pastor that was educated at that institution? By the way, it is being reported that, as things now stand, universities cannot force student organizations on campus to have pro-LGBTQ officers, pro-abortion officers,etc., but the Biden administration is considering ways to change that. Ten, on Aug. 27, 2021, LifeSiteNews reported that the head ofthe Tokyo Medical Association announced that Ivermectin “seems to be effective at stopping COVID-19 and publicly recommended that all doctors in Japan immediately begin using Ivermectin to treat COVID.” Currently, America’s shadow government, in collusion with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institutesof Health (NIH), big pharma, the social media, and others, is suppressing the use of Ivermectin. Why would these groups suppress the use of an inexpensive, effective drug that will stop Covid and save lives? Could the belief that Covid is a created crisis that has been designed to reduce the population of the earth, control people, bring in a world government, make the richricher, etc., be true? Eleven, on Aug. 21, 2021, it was reported that less than one-thirdof the people that have died from the Delta variant in the U.K. (Feb. 1, 2021, to Aug. 2021) have been people that were unvaccinated. (Two-thirds of the people that have died from the Delta Variant in the U.K. are people that have been vaccinated). Put another way, the U.K. data is showing that vaccinated people are more likely to die from the Delta Variant than unvaccinated people. Twelve, concerning deceit: on Aug. 30, 2021, it was reportedthat about two dozen nurses told people at a town hall meeting in Minnesota that adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccination are being underreported, and one nurse said her friends at other hospitals are saying the same thing. Thirteen, according to the Bible, the Euphrates River will dryup during the Tribulation Period to prepare the way for the Kings of the East (Rev. 16:12). On Aug. 31, 2021, it was reported that the Euphrates River is drying up fast and barely running for a distance of about 1,700 miles. Different officials are blaming Climate Change, drought, and Turkey for building dams on the river and holding back too much water. Finally, are you Rapture Ready? If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believethat Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this. --------------------------------------------- VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
