How to Discern the Many Deceptions to Come: Antichrist soon to reveal his identity.

Conclusion by Pastor Gary Boyd
Introduction:
DonâÂÂt ever turn the other cheek to deception and error!
The Bible reveals just what sort of deceptions are coming in these last days.
Great masses of people will be swallowed in the coming deceptions because they know not the word of God. It will be like never before or ever will be. Many will be spiritually cuffed and imprisoned by these things.
But many will stand strong too, and be quite safe. Forewarned is forearmed.
Many of the great deceptions will occur in the tribulation period but some are around now as forerunnersâ¦strengthen your guard.
Yeshua warns five times in a single end-time discourse of arising, intensifying deception as the day approaches. Read his word in Matthew 24:4-12, And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my nameâÂÂs sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
End-time deception in a nutshell:
Teachers, ministers and leaders will speak in the name of God, great things, which will be empowered by Satan in disguise. The greatest deceptions to come will be from within the church. Some of it will even contain demonstrations of the supernatural.
The religion of Adam and Eve was the âÂÂFig Leafâ religion. That was man-made religion, and it was rejected by God. He Himself provided the sacrifice for their sin. The religion of Adam, Babylon, Rome and the final world religion are all united in that they are man-madeâ¦truly Satan-made counterfeits.
The end-time world religion is referred to in the Bible as âÂÂBabylon the Great,â Its final manifestation will be a mixture of world religions. Remember that the word, Babylon means âÂÂmixture.â What is the Vatican preaching?
The end-time political world is also referred to as Babylon the Great and just like religious Babylon will include the new-world order or system mixed together.
When you try to mix the things of God with Satan, God always walks out!
Truth emanates from the Spirit of God and filters into the spirit of man. The soul of man is not renewed at the new-birth and must be worked on as we go. But the soul often tries to replace and imitate the spiritâÂÂs wisdom.
James 3:15 âÂÂThis wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual (soulish), demonic.âÂÂ
In this incredible verse above, we see a powerful satanic progression. It goes from the world to the soul to the demonic! Note that well. The progression is downwards!
The progression of truth is from the Spirit of God to manâÂÂs spirit and through to the soul.
The word of God is the only instrument that can separate between what is soulish, worldly, demonic and spiritual. It even discerns between thoughts and motives.
Adam, the world, and the number of his red blood:
âÂÂAdamâÂÂs blood was red. After his fall it carried the curse of God into all mankind and the world.
In Bible numerics, four is the number of the world.
IsnâÂÂt it surprising that four is also the number of blood and 44 is the number of Adam!
âÂÂBlood: StrongâÂÂs H1818 âÂÂDamâ The name âÂÂAdamâ is derived from this.
âÂÂRed: StrongâÂÂs H 122 or 119 âÂÂAdomâÂÂ
Red is the colour of humanity, flesh, blood, sin, fire and hell. Red is associated with four, (the world) and six. Red is the colour of the unsaved.
The colors blue and purple:
âÂÂBlue is the colour of God. It is the colour of the sky representing heaven and deity. Blue is the colour of royalty and kingship. The colour of Israel as seen in its flag and other national symbols is blue. It is associated with the numbers, seven and eight â both godly numbers.
âÂÂPurple is red and blue mixed together.
âÂÂPurple then represents the true believer, being Adam, now saved and filled with Gods Spirit.
WeâÂÂre going somewhere very important with this!
Have a look now at these two verses below and tell me whatâÂÂs missing in the Revelation account:
Exodus 28:8 (GodâÂÂs instructions for the priestly garment) âÂÂThe intricately woven band of the ephod shall be of gold, blue and purple and scarlet thread.âÂÂ
Revelation 17:3-5 âÂÂI saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearlsâ¦On her forehead was written âÂÂMystery Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth.âÂÂâÂÂ
The verse above speaks of the massive Babylon-born Catholic church and others like it. It speaks of the great end-time harlot - the false church.
Notice that âÂÂblueâ is missing.
But this church is adorned in purple, and purple is blue and red together. Do you see it? Purple with no blue in it is a lie, a counterfeit! ThatâÂÂs the great giveaway!
This great end-time ecumenical world-church looks like and sounds like the real thing, but it is a satanically charged fraud! It has no Spirit of God.
This great end-time church of deception is one with unredeemed Adam, his cursed blood, and the world-system backed by Satan â This church is a red whore! (Red is also the colour of prostitution!)
The final great end-time battle will be between purple with blue missing (a lie) and purple with blue in it (the truth)!
The final great end-time battle will be between a whore, the whore of Babylon, and a bride, the bride of Christ!
It most certainly will include the Catholic church, all ecumenical churches and others that have rejected the full operation of the Spirit of God. It will include some internet ministries.
The Jezebel deception:
This is a very specific deception described in the Bible, within the end-time church. LetâÂÂs have a look at the name:
Jezebel: StrongâÂÂs Concordance, H348, âÂÂIyzebelâÂÂ, meaning: Baal exalts, wickedness.
Baal: StrongâÂÂs H1168, meaning âÂÂlord.âÂÂ
The name in Hebrew is âÂÂIzevelâÂÂ, meaning mixture of wickedness.
One of the Greek terms for her name means âÂÂfalse teacher.âÂÂ
Baal was the Babylonian name. Zeus was the Greek name, also a name for Satan.
Jezebel was notorious for promoting the worship of Babylonian gods, including Baal / Zeus in Israel. Her conduct was disastrous for Israel.
The marriage of the heathen Jezebel to Ahab, the king of Israel, was the first time that a king of Israel âÂÂmixedâ himself by covenant with a heathen princess of evil! Jezebel was known to have no fear of God.
So, the name means: One who is exalted by a lord (Satan) who is full of wickedness and deception and false teaching. The Jezebel spirit always tries to usurp GodâÂÂs authority. This spirit operates mostly in women, but is also prevalent in male leadership.
The Jezebel spirit may attract hordes of false prophets.
The end-time Jezebel spirit is closely associated with the false spirits of Babylon, the Catholic church, other orthodox churches and all that are devoid of the Spirit of God.
LetâÂÂs paint the end-time picture:
The Revelation portrays huge end-time deception as seen in a scarlet woman riding a scarlet beast. She is the mother of all harlots. This means that the entire end-time, false, ecumenical, world church has one mother or source â the great whore of Babylon. (Revelation 17)
Revelation 18:24 âÂÂIn her was found the blood of prophets and saints and of all who were slain on the earth.âÂÂ
In the verse above we see that this end-time false religion is a mass murderer. It always has been that way! The Catholic Church has more blood on its hands than Hitler! But note that this satanic church murders the true prophets and saints of God. The inquisitions come to mind.
Satan will operate through the occult, paganism, supernatural signs and wonders, the calling down of fire from heaven and much more.
DonâÂÂt accept any form of fortune telling into your life. SatanâÂÂs invisible destiny for you is hidden in his servants like fortune tellers, clairvoyants and all who meddle in the occult. DonâÂÂt mess with these things or you will be opening the door to more!
We will see many miracles â real miracles in the church â done by Satan, producing great deception.
Revelation 18:23 âÂÂBy your sorcery all the nations were deceived.âÂÂ
Revelation 12:9 âÂÂThe great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole world.âÂÂ
Supernatural signs are no guarantee of truth. The devil himself works through signs and wonders, because he knows itâÂÂs such an easy method of deceiving so many people. And he knows so many people are susceptible to it because of their lack of the Spirit and shallow beliefs.
Beware of the transfer of spirits. The spirit in the one who you submit to, and give yourself to, can transfer into you. We see this tragically, in the transfer of demonic generational curses from one generation down to the next in entire cultures and ethnic groups through history.
It can be positive as well. If your chosen teacher was or is on fire for our Lord in a radical way, it will rub off on you as well.
End-time heresy and other deceptions:
2 Peter 2:1-2 âÂÂThere will be many false prophets among you and false teachers who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lordâ¦Many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the truth will be blasphemed.âÂÂ
Heresy: StrongâÂÂs G139 âÂÂHeiresis.â Meanings: choice of opinion, choose selectively to captivate.
The nature of heresy is found in the meaning of the word. It means âÂÂto choose selectively.â In other words, biblical heresy is not complete error. It is selective error! Truth mixed with error!
It chooses bits and pieces of scripture and takes them out of context to suit the make up a false doctrine. This is why it is so dangerous. ItâÂÂs got half the truth in it!
Biblical deception damages the word of prophecy, and the word of God in the eyes of many.
The great, cursed deception of lies is coming back. The fool flat-earthers are gaining idiot- demon inspired followers. All designed to make a fool of the church!
Satan cannot defeat the word of God, but he tries. So if you throw the word out, or donâÂÂt know it well, you are effectively defenseless.
A Christian without the Bible or the Bible selectively believed will always be a half-baked believer. He will always be half lost and always double minded. He will always be drawn up and down at the same time.
There are only two sources of supernatural revelation: God and the devil â no other. One will ultimately bless you and the other, curse you.
Deuteronomy 18:10 âÂÂThere shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft (divination), or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells or a enchanter, or a spiritist or one who calls up the dead.âÂÂ
The original word âÂÂdivinationâ in the verse above means âÂÂpythonâ â a âÂÂstranglingâ spirit.
The word âÂÂEnchanterâ in the verse above is often used in association with music to get people under SatanâÂÂs spell and control, but it has a deeper meaning.
âÂÂEnchanter,â StrongâÂÂs H 5172, âÂÂNachash.â Meanings: To hiss or whisper a magic spell. It also means to read from or into signs or omens.
This is prevalent today. People often read far too much into signs and so-called signs, and sometimes no signs, coming up with all sorts of garbage.
Acts 8:9-10 âÂÂThere was a certain man named Simon, who previously practiced sorcery, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, saying this man is the great power of God.âÂÂ
Notice in the verse above that the people thought this was a great man of God. But he was a corruptor of the truth, yet many followed him.
In 2 Timothy 3:1-8 we see an end-time description of two men, Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses with deceiving signs and wonders. This means that in the last days, the battle will again be in the supernatural with satanic signs and wonders.
But have a look at what their names mean:
Jannes: StrongâÂÂs G2389 Meaning: He vexed. Jambres: StrongâÂÂs G2387 Meaning: Deceptive healer.
A âÂÂvexingâ spirit is a deceiving spirit. There will also be âÂÂdeceptive healingsâ in the last days.
You must divorce Satan. It must be a severe and serious action. The curse is revoked through the cross, but you must apply it and do it and walk free. It must cost you. Burn any literature of the occult including idols and objects of contact.
You have the means to escape the satanic invasion â use it.
âÂÂItâÂÂs our cultureâÂÂ!
Many nations and ethnic groups have a visible identifiable culture. Some things are harmless and others not. Culture is closely associated with worship and in many cases is the actual source of generational curses.
The culture of sin is a lot more involved than most people think. The word âÂÂcultureâ comes from two root words: âÂÂworshipâ and âÂÂwork.â These are the main elements of a culture. So when we talk about the culture of sin â it is the worship of it and the work done in practicing it!
Behind all illegitimate culture is a terrible controller â the devil himself. Control is his objective.
IsnâÂÂt that what Satan wants with us? He wants to get control of our religion, our beliefs and our property which is our body.
Lessons for the last-days:
Error is a spirit. It is alive. Like all living things it wants acceptance and not rejection. It does not want to be banished or thrown out, but it must be!
