The seminaries are full of so-called Bible scholars who discredit the Bible as the inspired Word of God and base the bulk of their message on humanistic philosophy. (Thus the rash of books, tapes and other humanistic based material circulating in the churches!) The pulpit has become a place to stage the cultural war against the ills of society rather than the platform to bring people to godly sorrow and repentance. They will battle for school prayer, against abortion, gambling and gay rights, while at the same time professing converts remain addicted to gluttony, lust and greed without fear of consequences because they are told that God is love and doesn’t see them sin! The Lukewarm message has created a society turned on its head and NO ONE seems to have the moral fiber to Stand in the Gap against it.

Chapter 1: Not Against The Flesh and Blood

Scripture states that we war not against flesh and blood, Eph6:12, and that the Weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual for pulling down Strongholds, 2Cor10:4. What makes this so difficult to understand for most people is man’s attempt to apply it to his own carnal nature. Christ came to establish a spiritual kingdom, not physical. In fact He told the ruling authority of His day, "My Kingdom is NOT of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight!" (John18:36) Had the mission of Christianity been to setup an earthly Kingdom, the early Christians would NOT have died in mass as martyrs under the Roman Empire. They clearly understood Christ’s teaching and knew WHAT they were up against.

The present day church however has NO idea whatsoever what it is up against. It wars against the ills of society on a thousand different fronts while it worships a FALSE Christ, created in its own IMAGE! This is what makes the deception so complete. It has all the trimmings of Christianity, but NONE of the Power. It preaches a message of Christ but has NO foundation in His Doctrine. As a result millions follow this ‘image’ holding hands with the devil, walking straight into hell fire for eternity!

This spiritual warfare takes on an entire new perspective when you grasp the truth that Satan is the ‘god of this age,’ 2Cor4:4, and the ‘price and power of the air,’ Eph2:2 (who works in the sons of disobedience!) He holds the whole world under his subjection, 1John5:19. By what other authority would he be able to offer Christ power over the Kingdoms of the earth, Matt4:9, unless he had them at his bidding? Indeed, he is the power behind the throne of the kingdoms of men, controlling their political and religious systems with his diabolical schemes and wiles. Man follows his designs to the letter, believing all the while that he is working to advance God’s Kingdom on earth for the benefit of his posterity.

Throughout history the genuine Gospel of Christ has never been well received by the religious establishment. From it’s very inception the message has met with resistance and persecution from the sons of men because it calls for absolute denial of self life and complete dedication to a meek and lowly Savior who is not of the world or anything the world has to offer. Followers of Christ were stripped of worldly goods, detested by society and branded as fanatics. The Prince of Darkness knew and understood that if he was going to combat the spread of this radical message across the earth he would have to create an alternative that ‘looked’ like the real thing, but contained the ‘poison’ of asps at its core. Thus the ‘roaring lion’ (1Pet4:18) fabricated the most devious and cunning Wind of doctrine the world has ever known.

Unless you dispense with all the popular jargon of dispensational end times theology at this point, you will fail to grasp the significance of this spiritual warfare we are engaged in and how the final destination of your eternal soul is hanging in the balance. The trendy version of the Beast of Revelation, the False Prophet and the Mark are well known in the modern church. They read like a science-fiction plot and the story line sells like a Steven King novel. The present day church clamors for the latest information from the most popular teachers, snatching up their books and videos as quickly as they are produced. They then debate the times and seasons and signs and wonders pointing to End time Prophecy and convince each other they are living in the final days before the Lord’s Triumph return to establish His earthy Kingdom.

What the Apostle John seen in his Apocalyptic vision however is something ENTIRELY different than you are being lead to believe. It has EVERYTHING to do with the intense spiritual warfare detailed in the pages of scripture and experienced bitterly by the early Christians under the Roman Empire. But it isn’t just ancient history we’ll dealing with here! Yes, the early Christians were horribly treated and practically wiped out by persecution for their radical stand against the world. But Satan didn’t stop with the burnings and mass murder, he knew that the world must be ‘Christianized’ in order to launch his most devious plans into action. Therefore he sent his False Prophets into the world, that ‘looked’ like lambs but spoke the language of the Dragon!

This Beast, (the False Prophet) was given the power to perform great signs and wonders and give LIFE to the IMAGE of the first Beast. (that had risen up out of the sea) Then cause the world to bow down and worship this Image and receive his mark, or be killed. WHO is this Beast and WHY is he so successful with his deception?

Jesus used the EXACT same language when warning his Disciples about the dangers they would encounter when going out to preach. "MANY false prophets will rise up and deceive many!" Matt24:11.He repeated this warning several times in the Gospel record. As did Paul, Peter, John and Jude throughout the New Testament. They all warned the disciples of Christ that the False Prophets would come, distorting the message and ‘molding’ another gospel into being that would make men slaves to their own corruption and render the Real Gospel ineffective!

THIS is what John was seeing! The False Prophet is none other than these false teachers who twist the scriptures to their own destruction. (2Pet3:16) But their designs are anything but obvious. Remember the Beast John beheld had the APPEARANCE of a Lamb! They come to you in ‘Sheep’s Clothing’ Jesus said, Matt7:15, but inside are ravenous wolves! The word ‘ravenous’ translated in such manner only in this Matthew passage is translated elsewhere as ‘exploitation’ .

"By molding their words they will exploit you." 2Pet2:3. (This is the expression Peter used to describe these men, like making a form out of soft clay, they spin their words in such manner to deceive.)

In what manner also does the false prophet ‘KILL’ those who will not worship the Image of the first Beast he has given life? Many think this means they are beheaded for not taking the mark, or so the story line goes. But a closer investigation of John’s figurative language will reveal something that may astound you.

The word he used in Rev13:15 for ‘KILL’ can also mean:

THIS is exactly what the false teachers are doing! Speaking great swelling words of emptiness, promising people liberty while they remain slaves to their own corruption! 2Pet3:18. Thus they refuse to pluck out the evil eye of the flesh and cast it from them in order to enter into the Kingdom with singleness of purpose and devotion. Thereby, the False Prophet makes them TAKE THE MARK.

The mark is nothing more than the evil eye of lust within the Beast nature of man that must be CUT OUT if he is to follow Christ and enter the Kingdom. Since the word ‘Forehead’ simply combines two ancient Greek words together, the mystery is solved, if you will accept it. ONLY John used this unique word in the Apocalypse. The word, "Metopon’…..meaning with (meta) an eye (ops)

The number of man, or ‘mankind’ (anthropos) {Not ‘a man’] also translates to 666 in atomic theory. All things living and non-living consists of matter. The smallest portion of matter is the Atom. Every element known to man has a number assigned to it on the periodic table of elements. The human body is Carbon based. Remove the oxygen & hydrogen content from our body and all you are left with is a pile of Carbon ashes. The carbon atom has six protons, six neutrons and six electrons and the atomic number of Carbon is SIX! Thus the ‘Number of a man…or MANKIND as 666. (Our very flesh is this Carbon!)

WHO is the Beast rising up out of the sea but MAN himself in all his vain glory and from where is his power and authority derived…..from the DRAGON….or Satan himself!

What makes the False Prophet so successful in deceiving the whole world? The IMAGE he has created and given life!! HERE is where this satanic plot really holds its power and influence over the church and has rendered the real Gospel to no effect among the lost.

The False Prophet preaches a False Gospel and creates a FALSE JESUS! This IMAGE of the real Jesus passes as genuine in Christendom today and has deceived millions into taking the mark that will seal their eternal destiny in the fiery pit with the Real Dragon.

Revealation13:15, states that this Image BOTH ‘speaks’ and causes any who will not worship it to be killed. Because man bows to this Image and worships what it stands for, he therefore REFLECTS its image in himself! This is the Jesus who condones their adultery, drunkenness, lust and greed. Although they moralize that these sins will result in pain and suffering, they NEVER WARN anyone that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven. (1Cor6:9-10, Gal5:19-21)

The False Prophet derives his power from this Image in that it bears the LIKENESS of Christ but possesses the attributes of the Dragon. By it he has deceived those who dwell on the earth, Rev13:14, and caused them to take the mark. Here is the reason modern Christianity reflects the ‘image of the beast.’

(These passages are speaking of people who KNEW God, Rom1:21, but would NOT glorify Him as God! They then changed the glory of God into an IMAGE made after their own lusts! Rom1:23. THIS is NOT speaking of the heathen, as supposed by many, but people who knew God and were given up in their sins for worshiping the creature instead of the Creator! Rom1:25.)

The Lamb that speaks as a Dragon can skillfully handle the Word of God. He knows how to use flattering speech to impress his hearers. He is subtle and very cunning and NOT easily detected by most professing Christians. He can stand boldly in the pulpit and appear as a Saint while he preaches the doctrine of devils. Don’t assume yourself shielded to his deceit, without the full amour of God and very keen sense of discernment you will indeed go under his spell. He thrives on complacency and takes advantage of ignorance. This is why the Lord taught us that to whom MUCH is given MUCH MORE is expected! For to know the Masters will and not prepare yourself, is to lose everything. Luke12:47-48. Therefore ‘Take heed then WHAT you hearing and HOW you are hearing it!’ Luke8:18.

Chapter2: Till Christ is formed in you!

The present day church is worshiping an IMAGE of Christ that serves its own designs. Christ has become anything ‘the people’ want Him to be. If they want a Christ who condones their denial of the faith, they have it! If they want a Christ that winks at sexual immorality and addiction to pornography, they get it. Anything they desire to have is at their fingertips and Scripture is ‘twisted’ to fit the mold.

The Simplistic message of Scripture teaches that as Christ is ‘formed’ or (morphed) in you, you then conform to the IMAGE of Jesus. The ‘anti’ Christ message, based on the False Image, teaches that since Christ has fulfilled your obedience to the Royal law, there is no example to follow because He was incapable of sinning. Consider for a moment how ‘reasonable’ this sounds, yet it has absolutely NO bases in the pages of Scripture. Yet by ‘molding’ a few passages together, the false prophet can turn it into doctrine! Didn’t Christ say ‘It is finished’ on the Cross? Doesn’t Scripture declare that salvation is ‘Not of works’? Therefore how can anyone be obligated to do ANYTHING or ADD anything to His finished work and its ultimate outcome? It sounds true enough and is backed up by Scripture, but it fails to consider the FURTHER Truth that Christ expects you to OBEY Him, not Him obey you!

"If you love Me, you will KEEP My Commandments!" John14:15 (Simple enough if you obey it)

But the anti-Christ message will NEVER tell you this. They will tell you to ‘believe’ on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, but what they won’t tell you is that the ‘Jesus’ you are believing on is merely the IMAGE they have created of Jesus for you to worship! Thus the False Prophet spins his magic spell!

Covering All the Bases:

Nothing is left ‘Pure’ in its original form. The Dragon has everything covered. His influence stretches beyond anyone’s wildest imagination! He is into everything the present day church has to offer. No matter which flavor of Christianity you choose, they ALL preach the same Christ…..NOT of Scripture, but of there own creation fulfilling there personal designs. This is why modern Christianity has been rendered nearly ineffective against the ills of our society.

The False Jesus condones ‘Double-minded’ Christians and those who are ‘Serving’ Two Masters! He does not require that the lustful eye of the flesh be plucked out and cast from you. ‘Spectators’ are welcome into the Kingdom with open arms, Running the race with endurance is not an issue. You become a ‘New Creation’ in Christ in principle only, while you remain the ‘wretched man’ of Romans Chapter7, chained to your lust! All that’s required is to ‘Believe’ and the rest is taken care of! God fits the design of your choice.

Those who desire the more Traditional and Orthodox religions can find their solace as well. The False Prophet loves to heap on the Ritual and Ceremony of man’s creation. The religious establishments of earth have always towed a hard line on Tradition and KILLED those who rebelled against it.

The False Prophet can accommodate even greed and lust for things of the world. The modern ‘Prosperity’ Gospel can fulfill all your wants and desires. You want a Jesus who offers wealth, health and prosperity, TUNE in your national religious broadcasting networks! They preach the Greed Gospel twenty-four hours a day on the airwaves and the people CLAMOR for more. Many of these ministries have accumulated vast fortunes spreading Satan’s lies. The IMAGE they have created is seductive and very powerful. Millions are following it into perdition, believing God has blessed them with abundance and health.

Some require a Charismatic Jesus who still performs His signs and wonders for them. Here the False Prophet is at his best! Try talking one of these people out of their delusions!

But even these warnings are not enough to convince the Image Worshipers they have fallen for the Dragon’s ruse. The emotional influence of the charismatic movement has them in its grasp. Few can break free of this Strong Delusion and refocus on the Real Christ. Among them you will find some of the most outrageous doctrines under the sun being preached. Some of their proponents have gone as far as to declare themselves the New Messiah and claim ‘they’ could have died for your sins. Sadly the people eat it up and follow them straight into hell.

For those who believe that genuine Christianity is expressed in loyalty to your home and country there’s the ‘Patriot’ movement. These preachers have created an IMAGE of Jesus who battles against tyranny and overthrows corrupted governments! They mold the scriptures to fit their design by saying Christ was killed for exposing the corruption of the Roman Empire and opposing their oppression. Rights and liberties are God given, in their view and protected by His Divine Providence. Therefore following Him is joining in the struggle for freedom and combating the ills of government. Here you find the professing Christians who march in the streets, protesting against abortion, school prayer or displaying the Ten Commandments in courtrooms. Although these same preachers will say that ‘no one’ can Keep His Commandments and no one does, they will loudly defend the Principle, believing God is on their side.

The sporting minded find that the Image meets all their needs too. Jesus instantly becomes a respecter of persons, favoring one team over another in the brutal contest of competition. Successful athletes love to praise this Jesus for their victories and pray to him for the prize. It’s this same spirit that drives men into war against their so-called enemies, doing their ‘duty’ for God, home and country. Yet it has NOTHING to do with the Christ of Scripture who calls you into the fellowship of the Cross.

No one is immune to the wiles of the False Prophet. Even the so-called holiness churches have been effected. You could very well find yourself in just such a church, believing all the right things about obedience, endurance and sin while you worship the IMAGE ‘molded’ to fit into a ‘stricter’ perspective. The danger here lays in the fact that most people consider themselves holy because they go to a ‘holiness’ church that believes a ‘holiness’ doctrine. However no one enters into the Kingdom merely believing the correct doctrines, but by PUTTING them into Action! What you are hearing matters greatly, but how you are applying it will spells the difference between heaven and hell.

No rock is left unturned by the False Prophet. He has infiltrated every realm of modern day Christianity. He controls the Platforms and dictates the agenda. Finding printed material unaffected by his lies is nearly impossible. His influence is in everything, the music, the videos, books, tapes, and commentaries. The Common thread that runs through all of it is the IMAGE of the false Jesus designed to please mankind in some capacity of his flesh. Converts under his spell can repent but remain in bondage to their sins. They can believe in Jesus but not follow His example. They can become holy without ‘being’ holy in all their conduct. And NOTHING they do or don’t do will effect the outcome of their salvation.

Christ says, "Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect!" Matt5:48

The False Prophet says, ‘No one is perfect’

Christ says, "Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me!" Luke16:24

The False Prophet says, ‘Deny nothing, shun the cross and believe in me!’

Christ says, "Strive to enter by the Narrow Gate for FEW shall find eternal life!" Matt7:14-15

The False Prophet says, ‘Believe in Jesus and MANY will be saved!’

Christ says, "Go and sin no more!" John8:11

The False Prophet says, ‘Everyone sins everyday in thought, word and deed.’

Christ says, "Whoever denies Me before men, him I will deny before My Father." Matt10:33

The False Prophet says, ‘He will remain faithful when you are faithless!’

Christ says, "Blessed are you when men hate and exclude you for My Name’s sake!" Luke6:22

The False Prophet says, ‘God has a wonderful plan for your life, receive him today!’

Scripture declares that ONLY those who by Steadfast endurance in doing good seek for glory, honor and immortality will inherit eternal life. Those who are self-seeking and do not Obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, will receive indignation and wrath. Rom2:7-8

The False Prophet will NEVER tell you that it requires Steadfast Endurance to enter the Kingdom of life. Just as he will NEVER tell you what will happen to you IF you refuse to ‘Workout’ your own salvation and ‘Make your calling sure in Christ!’ These passages are simply NOT in his vocabulary. To him, THIS is another gospel, one of ‘works’ and must be exposed as such. Therefore the people sin on with impunity, insensitive to the convicting power of the Spirit. They have a sense of peace but it is derived from their inability to realize the danger they are in. As there is strength in numbers, so the MAJORITY marches down the broad road to destruction unaware, hand in hand with Satan himself…..there praises drowning out the cries of the damned just ahead at the Judgement.

Unless the IMAGE of the Real Christ is being FORMED in you, as a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly, your faith is counterfeit and you follow the image of the Beast. The message of the false prophet may be pleasing to your ears now, but he is not doing you any favors by soft peddling the truth. If he were a True man of God he would seek to bring people OUT of their sins and warn them that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom. He would not waste his time telling you cute little stories and cracking funny jokes from the pulpit to make you feel good. He would be crying out of the depths of his heart REPENT, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!!

Chapter3: The Son of Perdition!

Another piece to this puzzle is the so-called ‘anti-Christ’ character who is scheduled to show up in the last days to setup his earthly kingdom and force the world to take his mark. He is the Beast of Revelation 13, in modern day teaching, and rises up as Savior of mankind. But as with the Image of the False Christ, this too is NOT what it seems. The tangled web Satan has spun over the present day church has them bowing to the VERY thing they fear the most!

If we examine the characteristics that coincide with the arrival of this ‘man of sin’ the mystery is solved. First the Great Apostasy must take place, the falling away from the faith. THIS the False Prophet has facilitated in every way possible by creating the IMAGE of his false Jesus and causing the world to worship it. Thus the 'man of sin’ is already on the scene! But he isn’t ‘a man’ as the so-called Christians are looking for. He is there OWN System of Religion corrupted to its core by the flesh.

The ‘man’ in this passage is MANKIND, (anthropos)) and the ‘Perdition’ spoken of is simply the destruction of the soul into hell. That’s why Paul goes on to call it ‘mystery of iniquity’ in verse seven because it comes about in time as the False Prophets gain a foothold within the church. What do the False Prophets accomplish by spreading their ‘molded’ lies? ‘SONS OF PERDITION!’

This Word, ‘Perdition’ is translated 18 times in the New Testament in the following manner:

Perdition 8 times

Destruction 5 times

Waste 2 times

Damnable 1

To Die 1

Perish 1

Pernicious 1

Jesus called Judas the ‘son of perdition’ in John17:12. Peter uses this word a number of times when describing the False Prophets who will destroy you with their words. 2Pet2:1-3

There ‘destructive heresies’ will lead you to Perdition! 2Pet2:1

Many ‘Follow their Pernicious ways, into Perdition! 2Pet2:2

They ‘Twist the Scriptures to their own destruction, leading to Perdition! 2Pet3:16

Jesus said the Wide Road leads to PERDITION, (destruction!) Matt7:13-14.

The SAME False Prophet of Revelation 13….WHO looks like a LAMB but Speaks as a Dragon!! He is dispensing the mark, making ‘Christians’ ‘Sons of Perdition’ and enticing them to Bow to the IMAGE he has created. Can you SEE how this all ties together? The ‘Anti-Christ’ System is the modern day church sustained by this IMAGE that speaks great swelling words of emptiness to deceive the hearts of the simple.

"Here is the patience (endurance) of the Saints (True followers of Christ) here are THOSE who KEEP (Holdfast) the Commandments of God and the Faith of the Lord Jesus!" Rev14:12

The ‘Tribulation’ everyone is waiting for, following the so-called ‘Rapture’ of the church is upon us NOW! The Faithful are told 11 TIMES to OVERCOME in the Book of Revelation and the Promise of eternal life is theirs. The ‘works of the flesh’ must be destroyed, cast from you, to enter into Life, 1Cor5:5. It’s NOT the man’s ‘body’ that is ‘handed over to Satan for destruction’ …..it’s his FLESH, his lust that’s destroying him! The possibility of his ultimate salvation rests in the destruction of this lust, through godly sorrow and repentance, and his SINGLENESS of purpose in serving the real Christ, not the Image.

The ‘lawless one’ after the working of Satan, 2Thess2:9-12, is the False Prophet who turns the Grace of God into LAWLESSNESS, Jude3-4! Or LICENSE for immorality! According to 2Thessalonians he uses all power, signs and lying wonders! EXACTLY as John said in Rev13:13 of the False Prophet. Paul and John are warning us about the SAME thing! This ‘unrighteous deception’ effects those who LOVE NOT THE TRUTH that they might be saved. Thus God sends them the STRONG DELUSION that they should believe a lie because they took pleasure in unrighteousness.

No Wonder the people declared in Rev13:4, "WHO is like the Beast? WHO is able to make war against him!"

And WHO is making this awesome declaration? THOSE who WORSHIP the Beast and his IMAGE!!!

The DECEIVED Church! The Dragon was granted power to make war against the True Saints of God and OVERCOME them! Rev13:7 That’s why Jesus told the FAITHFUL Remnant they MUST OVERCOME the Beast, False Prophet and anti-Christ, to enter into the New Kingdom with GOD.

Jesus warned that even the very ELECT would be deceived, Matt24:24, in the Great falling away. John repeated this warning in the passage mentioned above. The OVERCOMERS are those who have awaken, trimmed their lamps and went OUT to meet the Bridegroom in Triumph! Are you one of them?

Will the anti-Christ emerge in the Middle East, establish himself as a great political and religious leader and set out to rebuild Jewish Temple for animal sacrifice in Jerusalem? Millions of professing Christians are looking for just such an event to signal what they call the ‘final week of Daniel’s’ seventy weeks of prophecy and the ‘Rapture’ of the church. But as we have seen with all the other ‘supposed’ scenarios, this so-called ‘Temple’ is something ENTIRELY different than what everyone is expecting to see!

The ‘abomination of desolation’ Jesus spoke of in Matt24:15, repeating the Prophet Daniel’s words, Dan11:31, 12:11, took place, as predicted, around 70AD under the Roman Empire when Titus the son of then Emperor Vaspasian, surrounded and captured the city of Jerusalem in a brutal battle with the Jewish defenders. The Roman Legions then sacked the Great Temple and Titus entered into the Holy of Holies and was worshiped by his men. Thus Dan9:27 was fulfilled, as the Lord made warning.

The Temple spoken of in the New Testament has NOTHING to do with this temple in Jerusalem being rebuilt during a so-called seventieth week of prophecy. Scripture clearly declares that the Temple of God is NOW the BELIEVER! Not the building.

Therefore the Temple becomes ‘defiled’ when you refuse to pluck out the lustful eye of the flesh and cast it from you. The ‘Double-minded’ and those trying to ‘Serve’ two Masters have DEFILED their Temple! They have done so by worshipping the IMAGE of the false Jesus, created by the False Prophet who is telling them that God no longer sees them sinning and Jesus fulfilled their obedience.

Paul said, "You are God’s Building, fellow workers with HIM!" 1Cor3:9. His Saints are sent forth to BUILD upon the SOLID Foundation already laid by Christ, 1Cor3:11. Their efforts can be spent for naught if their FRUIT does not remain. For the ‘Works’ are to be tested by fire, if they pass the test, you will receive a reward, but if they are burned up, you will suffer loss, although you will be saved as through fire. However this has Nothing to do with sinful conduct, as the False Prophet would have you believe. Lust is NOT going to be ‘tested by fire’ it MUST be plucked out and cast from you or send you to Perdition.

The effort Paul speaks of is the work you have put forth to bring others into the Kingdom. If they are side-tracked by the False Prophet and deceived by his Image, your work is LOST and so are they! You may still make it in the end, but ONLY if you have remained SINGLE EYED in your devotion to Christ. Because, as Paul concludes, "IF anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him!"

(destroy is the same word as PERDITION….that’s where you end up if destroyed.)

He who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God and sits as God, in the Temple of God, 2Thess2:4, is NO OTHER than the FALSE PROPHET himself! Taking up his abode within the Apostate Christians who have worshiped his Image. The Great Dragon of old, who has also EXALTED his throne above the stars of God, Isa14:12-15, is the POWER behind the curtain. He is retrained only by the small remnant of Truth that remains in the world, until that also ‘be taken out of the way’.

Scripture declares that your ‘body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit’ 1Cor6:19-20. You are NOT your own, but bought, purchased, redeemed, with a PRICE! That’s why immorality and lust will DESTROY you. It DEFILES your Temple! WHAT agreement do the Temple of God and the temple of idols have? 2Cor6:16

Light and darkness cannot mix. If your EYE is bad your WHOLE body is FULL of Darkness! Matt7:23. And how GREAT is that darkness! Matt6:23.

God DOES NOT Dwell in Temples made with hands! Acts17:24. Jesus told us that it’s what comes OUT of a man that Defiles him, Matt15:11, not what goes in. From within cometh the ‘Evil Eye’ of the flesh! Mark7:22. The ‘mark’ of man is this evil eye full of lust after the things of the world. That’s why if anyone loves the world or the things of the world is an enemy of God! (1John2:15-17)

Thus the False Prophet has done everything within his power to sugar coat the message of Scripture and make people believe they are serving and worshiping the Real Jesus, when in reality they BOW merely to an IMAGE.

The True Saints have the Father’s Name written on their ‘foreheads’, Rev14:1. Meaning simply that they have SINGLENESS of Purpose and Devotion in serving their Master. "Looking unto Jesus the Author and finisher of their faith!" Heb12:2, they flee immorality and uncleanness and look diligently to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless, 2Pet3:14. OVERCOMERS, clothed in White garments with lambs trimmed and burning, they Holdfast to the Truth and will not Deny His Name!

Is your ‘temple’ defiled by uncleanness, filthy living and offensive conduct? If so you have ALREADY taken the ‘mark’ of the False Prophet and will suffer his fate in the Lake of fire unless you wake up, repent and CAST the lustful eyes of the flesh from you once and for all. "For it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your WHOLE body to be cast into hell!" Matt5:29

Chapter5: The Days of Noah! Matt24:37

In the Days of Noah the Lord regretted that He made man and brought Judgement upon the earth, Gen6:1-8

Depravity had reached such immense proportions, that man had sunk to the depths of Satan ! Their offspring called the ‘Nephilm’ were the men of legend spoken of by the Jews. Bullies and tyrants, with animal like minds, these men precipitated the Judgement that destroyed mankind, except for Noah and his family who believed God and found safety inside the Ark.

This Judgement continues to serve as a warning to present generations that as wickedness continues to abound and the people become more and more corrupted, the Spirit of the Lord WILL NOT tarry forever. It is Important to note the predominate feature of Noah’s time as stated by our Lord:

"But as the days of Noah were, also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the Ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away!" Matt24:37-39

Wickedness was abounding and NEARLY Everyone was DECEIVED! The old Dragon had corrupted man to the very core of his existence. To the point that he was COMPLETELY UNAWARE that Judgement was just around the corner! EVEN as Noah constructed the Ark, entered into it and CLOSED the Door! He preached Righteousness for 120 years warning them to flee the wrath of God and NOT ONE responded. DELUSION was the dominant characteristic in the Days of Noah. SUCH will be the case near the imminent return of Christ. Only this time the deceived will be looking in ALL the wrong places!

Is the depth and width of this starting to sink into your soul yet? EVERY Parable from Matthew 13-25 has to do with the EXACT SAME THING!!! WHO is going to remain faithful at the end, WORK the Vineyard, and Produce the fruit, until the Lord’s return. NOT those who follow the False Prophet! ONLY the very small remnant who will OVERCOME the Beast. (Rev14:12)

These ‘seducers’ by molding their great swelling words of emptiness have crafted a lie so COMPLETE that it has taken generations to unravel. Notice what the passage says, ‘deceiving and being deceived,’ in otherwords BOTH the Messenger and the receiver of the message are DECEIVED by the SAME Message! NOTHING could be more perfect than this. If the False Prophet is convinced he is defending the truth, he will diligently and with much zeal CONTEND against any opposition! Like the Jews who had a zeal not according to knowledge, Rom10:2, THESE men jubilantly proclaim their message with sincerely of heart and singleness of purpose creating ‘spiritually bankrupt’ disciples fit only for PERDITION.

The slumbering church knows NOT that another Ark is being prepared for the faithful. Because this time the old Dragon has fashioned one of his own (in the ‘form’ of the first) and lured them into it! While they wait patiently, singing praises to the IMAGE, the Door of escape is slowly being closed upon them. SOON it will be TOO LATE, the ‘oil’ will be gone from the lamp and only weeping and gnashing of teeth will remain. It is all so clearly stated in the very Bibles they hold in their hands, but the KEY to unravel Satan’s maze of deceit is LOST to them through complacency and neglect.

The present day churches have become like Sodom and Gomorrah. (which depicts in the original language a society sunken to the depths of depravity ready for the burning) As Abraham was unable to find TEN Righteous to ward off the Judgement, so the Holy Remnant of today are FEW and far between. They too are oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked, and indeed dwell in the midst of Satan’s throne! His diabolical Kingdom holds mankind in Subjection to a lie and has united the political and religious system of the earth under ONE Colossal IMAGE that fits into the MOLD of your choice.

This IMAGE is extraordinarily seductive in nature and possesses a powerful appeal. It looks, acts, talks and WALKS like the real thing! If anyone in the present day church imagines they can resist his appeal or that they are immune to his influence, THINK AGAIN! EVERY Warning in Scripture indicates that as this thing increases fewer and fewer will escape its clutches. In the Days of Noah 8 souls found solace inside the Ark. Look around you now. We are fast approaching the SAME proportions!

Try preaching the Jesus of Scripture in your church and see what happens. Dispense with the nice little stories and clever jokes. Tell the people they have to deny their flesh and pluck out their lustful eye if they are to enter into life. Set aside your church bulletins and proclaim that the Way is Narrow, Difficult and Few enter into it. Get rid of all the flesh pleasing activities and tell them they are in a pitch battle with the dark forces of evil for their very souls! Teach that certain types of behavior (common among them) will KEEP them OUT of the Kingdom. Warn them day and night with tears, spare not their feelings, show up in sack cloth and ashes calling them to repentance and godly sorrow. BREAK up the Fallow Ground of their hearts and see if Faith does indeed remain. (Luke18:8)

Do this and you’ll finally understand what the Lord was talking about in Luke6:22-23, and what the early Christians knew and understood in their time. That you MUST COUNT the COST and make the necessary sacrifices to engage your enemy! NO ONE in any period of Christian history has been spared bitter persecution from the religious establishment when they WOKE UP and started preaching the TRUE Jesus of Scripture! NO Opposition spells ‘Compromise’ in any language.

"Beware when all men speak well of you. For so did their fathers of the FALSE PROPHETS!" Lk6:25

BUY the Gold refined in the fire (the PURE Truth of God’s Word!) Anoint your eyes with eye salve to AWAKEN your slumbering soul! COVER the Shame of your nakedness with garments of WHITE! For the LORD is Standing at the DOOR with a Flaming Sword in His Mouth. SUE for Mercy on bended knee while time remains, for when the DOOR closes your time is up.
