Deceivers Are Not That Clever

There are a group of folks who would (no doubt) self-describe themselves as “living by their wits.”

A great percentage of these folks are DECEIVERS, who prey upon those who may be preyed upon.

The deceivers believe that they are successful at taking things that do NOT belong to them from other folks because they are CLEVER or SMART.

BUT, the deceivers are NOT clever or smart–least ways, as clever or as smart as they believe themselves to be.

The deceivers are successful because they prey upon the DECEIVED.

The deceived see, but do not perceive.

The deceived hear, but do not understand.

“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. “
–Isaiah 44:18

“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.”
–Mark 4:12

The deceived represent a HUGE percentage of those who dwell upon the earth during the last days.

The deceived are easy pickings for the deceivers.

And THE DECEIVED include all of those folks who believe themselves to be clever or smart enough to take things that are NOT theirs, USING (what they believe to be) THEIR CLEVER subterfuges.

The deceivers are deceived themselves.

God’s Word warns that these folks will grow MORE, both in numbers and in schemes used to defraud their fellows.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
–2TIMOTHY 3:13

DOES the reader see ANY evidence of men growing “worse and worse“?

DOES the reader see ANY evidence that the deceivers are themselves deceived?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

The TIMING of One’s Laughing Affects the Satisfaction Obtained By Such Laughter

Although God Word is silent about WHEN one should laugh, it does provide a few hints on what may be the most appropriate reaction to laughter.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance”
–Ecclesiastes 3:1,4

One imagines that the end times unfold the way they do in order to encourage the wicked to celebrate prematurely.

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”
–Psalm 2:2-4

EVEN THOUGH, events look like they are favoring Satan and his dragoons, the reader needs to wait until the end of all before making a decision about who is in charge.

In other words, God is declaring that age-old truism of the world:

HE WHO LAUGHS LAST, LAUGHS BEST.

[One suspects that the timing of God’s laughter is WHOLLY decided by Him and will conform to that saying.]

DOES the reader have any thoughts on when is the BEST time to laugh at someone?

The Importance of One’s Time

“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
–Ephesians 5:16

It is always a fascinating topic when the talk turns to where one gets his ideas for an article.

And so it was that the idea behind THIS article did NOT come from a friend or an acquaintance’s questions.

And, it did NOT come from someone ELSE asking a question.

And, it did NOT come from another article or something that pricked the mind while reading God’s Word.

Well, then, the question to ask then is “Just where did the idea behind this article come from?”

While on a visit to an acquaintance, a heated discussion between a guy and (it’s assumed) his girlfriend took place at an outdoor table with an umbrella and was overheard.

“You need to grow up! You’re always late when we go somewhere!”

“Uh uh. I am almost NEVER late! It’s waiting on you to get ready which eats up the time!”

“That’s not true!”

“Why do you feel that YOUR time is always more important than MY time?”

BINGO!

There was a question which thousands could have asked–but until that guy posed it, this writer had NEVER heard it asked before.

NOT ONLY THAT, but it stuck in the mind, kinda like a splinter. And the question was the target of MUCH pondering for a couple of days after the question was first posed.

“Why do you feel that YOUR time is always more important than MY time?”

NOW THERE was a question we wished we could’ve thought of MANY TIMES.

Does the reader know of anyone who acts as though their time is more valuable than your time?

Was this a valid question in the discussion between the two people?

This listener had NO way of knowing.

BUT, all of that thought on the subject caused ANOTHER couple of questions to be asked.

“Why do folks MAKE SURE that they have plenty of time to SIN? Why is it that if what they are doing is a benefit to someone else, they often are pressed for time when it rolls around to do whatever it is.”

It is suspected that NEITHER question will get an answer prior to Jesus returning.

DOES the reader have any clues?

OPM and One’s Focus During the End Times

OPM.

Other People’s Money: it’s what makes the world of the wicked go round.

At least, to hear the world tell it.

AND, it is one of the chief characteristics which separate the wicked from the righteous.

The love of the world, the love of money and the love of the things that money can buy motivates a GREAT MANY men to do things they ought not to do.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
–1JOHN 2:15

The author of the Book of James also wrote about the main reason the wicked and the righteous do not see eye-to-eye.

“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
–James 4:4

In fact, the apostle Paul wrote about this circumstance nearly 2000 years ago.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
–1TIMOTHY 6:10

Of course, those who chase after money and accumulate it would deny that money is nothing but a force for GOOD–and those folks will seldom tire of telling others the GOOD things that money can do–particularly, OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.

Particularly, if one is in GOVERNMENT.

Maybe the reader has heard one of these (who are pieced through with many sorrows), rattle off all of the GREAT and GOOD things which money can do?

And, those who chase after the accumulation of wealth have a difficult time laying the blame for ANY of their many afflictions on their chosen behavior.

One additional failing which is not discussed much, is highlighted by the question, “How much is enough?”

Perhaps the reader knows of someone who has piles of money BUT who still pursues MORE MONEY as if he was starving and needed more money to feed himself (and his family)?

How much is enough?

Which leads us to the observation that the wicked do NOT (generally) accumulate their OWN money: they gather and accumulate the money of others: other people’s money.

OPM.

It is what drives the UNbeliever to focus on the world and the things of the world.

And, by doing so, the wicked and foolish remain the way they are; at the mercy of the world; enslaved by the prince of this world.

REMEMBER: it is NOT money per se which is a problem.

It is the LOVE OF MONEY which causes nearly all the troubles.

DOES the reader share in the world’s view of OPM?
