DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED

DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH: Do not be deceived.

“But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
2 Timothy 3:13

The end times are a time of overwhelming deception.

There are the masses who are deceived.  They are mostly ignorant of their ignorance.

And there are those who deceive the masses. They are twice deceived.

Not only are they deceived into becoming workers of iniquity, they believe that they alone know the truth. They reason: “I know I dispense lies, so I also must know the truth.”

They are not only deceiving: they are also being deceived.

Those who engage in sorcery and witchcraft; who consult with familiar spirits; who practice divination, necromancy or other forbidden activities: ALL are deceived.

ALL believe they know more than God Almighty: ALL are deceived.

Those whose hearts are steadfastly hardened will remain deceived until they come to judgment. A few–whose hearts are NOT so hardened–may turn to the truth before it is too late.

“Therefore hath he [God] mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.”
–Romans 9:18

One sign of the times: Jesus Himself warned of end times deception–and yet men are still deceived.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
Winston Churchill

Others might insist that a five-minute conversation with one of the political puppets is the best argument against democracy.

Things of This World: Faith and Trust in Politics

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
–On changing government statistics – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

POLLS: Another Way to Lie

Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?

“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”
Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

POLLS: The Fiction of Polls and Public Opinion

“There is no public opinion. There is only published opinion.”
–Winston Churchill

The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Polls

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
John 20:31

“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 1:16power-of-salvation-the-gospel-of-Jesus-Christ

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 the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19

The Gospel is Hidden to Those who are Lost


MAY 2022

THE END TIMES WORLD IS A DARK, DARK PLACE. JESUS IS THE LIGHT.

LIGHT IN THE DARK

The world–particularly the end times world–is a dark, dark place.

The darkness is caused by DECEPTION.

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”
–1JOHN 5:19

[One of the deceptions is the Satan-approved Bible translations which change 1JOHN 5:19 from “the whole world lieth in wickedness.” to “the whole world lies in the Wicked One.” But ANYONE who has studied the verse in the original Greek KNOWS that the original KJV translation is the CORRECT ONE.]

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
–Isaiah 60:2

Though the world be covered in the darkness of deception, Jesus is the light of the world.

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
–John 1:5

“…he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
–Daniel 2:22

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
–John 8:12

Time is growing short.

Follow Jesus Christ.

Follow the light.

TODAY’S “FEUDS

Everyone LOVES to hear and see DRAMA, right?

And really: what is more exciting than manufactured drama?

And what is more dramatic than an apparent feud among the beautiful people, right?

Particularly if the “feud” is between celebrities, politicos or royal nabobs?

IN FACT, the rich and celebrated almost never disagree: they engage in feuds–sometimes for decades after they have ceased being celebrated for anything else.

What would the beautiful people do with themselves if not for their never-ending feuds?

Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.”

One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the “victims” appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.

Sports, politics and celebrity culture, European royalty–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.

Oh–and pro wrestling…

One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.

Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.

Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder, “Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”

NO TRUER LOVE: Has ever captivated the USA.

Dedicated to the One I Love.”

This 60’s standard has a much different meaning almost 50 years later.

Originally, the song referred to two young lovers.

But in 2018, a song titled “Dedicated to the One I Love” would likely be about the person singing.

Because in 2018, the most talked-about, promoted or deepest love is a love of one’s self.

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.

“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”

EIGHT YEARS AGO

HILLARY CLINTON: JOB #1

Hillary Clinton: Same script in 2016 as in 2008?

Hillary Clinton–regardless of what Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) insisted in 2008 and 2016–has had one role and one role ONLY to play at the national level of U.S. politics.

The Threat.

Hillary is always portrayed as The Threat.  As in “The Threat of what would happen IF she ever got her hands on the power of the presidency.”

Is Hillary Clinton Really in Danger of Losing the Primary? – This story is a very good example of the adage “A good liar remembers his lies.”

The story contains a graphic of supposed poll results showing the favorables and unfavorables of Hillary Clinton 1992-present. Her unfavorables supposedly topped 60 percent several times.

However, it was a mantra in the early 00’s that Hillary Clinton could NEVER get elected to national office because the number of people polled (supposedly) who declared they would NEVER vote for her under any circumstance exceeded 66 percent. That’s two-thirds and an easily remembered factoid.

That information has long since disappeared, snowed under by the media’s trashing of Clinton by making her the early “unbeatable one.”

Hillary Clinton was never likable, never trusted and never electable.  The Corporate Media tells so many lies it can’t remember them all.
End Times Prophecy Headlines: August 15-16, 2015

With Hillary Clinton, job #1 has always been The Threat.

Will Hillary Clinton finally be selected president of the USA?

EVIDENCE OR FAITH?

question

Show Me the Evidence – This writer likes the site the linked article appears on, but it’s a dangerous step to base one’s faith on “evidence.”

“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”
2 Corinthians 5:7

If there was evidence, it wouldn’t be faith.  It would be something else.

“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”
–Romans 8:24

There will be an entire world full of people in the near future who will be deceived by the counterfeit miracles and lying wonders of the man of sin. These deceived souls will be sitting in churches, congratulating each other on the “powerful move of God” that is taking place and heading to eternal damnation because they have “evidence” in the form of supernatural power.

That is the judgment of the sight-walkers.

Faith No Longer Needed in American Church: The Sight-Walkers

END TIMES FAITHLESSNESS: Faith Not Enough for the Sight-walkers

The entire premise of the linked article is wrong. What the person quoted in the article said was right–if applied to a hard science.  If the premise referred to science or mathematics or logic (or any man-centered bits of knowledge), then it might not be wrong.

When the leap was made to apply the standards of the world to Christianity in order to validate it, then the author veered off into grave error.

There’s certainly enough of that going around these days.

Especially at the misnamed “discernment ministries.”
