Have the lying signs and wonders arrived?

 

(From now to the end, truth is not likely to make people happy who have been sleeping and slumbering in apathy. The truth necessary to prepare and equip them for the end of the age will not be palatable. They will turn to hobbies, entertainment, books, movies, social media, music, TV, beloved heretics, hirelings, and other charlatans, but coldly reject everyone who makes them uncomfortable with truth. Truth is a drudgery for them to read or hear. A slight brush with reality makes them slide deeper under the apathy blanket. The day when truth blasts into their comfortable lives with brilliant and unavoidable reality, some of them will suffer heart failure. The ones who survive the initial shock will plunge into an inner cauldron of fear and great stress. They will wish with all their souls they had listened and prepared. But it will be too late.)

The Believers are questioning if the lying signs and wonders Paul prophesied have arrived. We are currently witnessing lying signs and wonders in some parts of the world, especially in America. I do not believe those are the lying signs and wonders Paul prophesied about in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. For one thing, they are not originating from one individual. It does not meet other criteria to declare them the fulfillment of Paul’s prophesy. I consider the current lying signs precursors and indicative of how eager many professing Christians are to receive deception. The lying signs and wonders in Paul’s prophesy will arrive with the coming of the “man of sin,” aka, the “lawless one.” It will be ubiquitous and the direct work of Satan. For the current display of lying signs and wonders to fulfill the prophecy, they would need to happen all over the world and be directed by the “lawless one.” The “lawless one” will have tremendous and worldwide power and influence when that occurs.

When “likes” and “shares” become an Obsession.

Not that many decades ago that most professing Christians had not connected to the Internet. Now, there are millions of them with FB pages, Twitter, TikTok, and blogs. They are a way for individuals to be recognized that would have slipped through life only noticed by a few local people. It is not a bad thing to be popular if the purpose is to minister or stay in contact with family and friends. The problem is when people become obsessed with being famous. Each day begins a quest for “likes” and “shares.” It has led to plagiarism by some individuals. I know of several that steal the intellectual work of someone and post it as their own words. I confronted one individual repeatedly for copying my articles and reposting them as his work. He became very popular until he passed away. Plagiarism is lying. It is, by all definition, deception. The only motivation for plagiarizing is to build up oneself to be something they are not. It is all about “likes,” “shares,” and popularity. Popularity has a very short lifespan on the Internet. It requires an obsessive stream of posts to receive a tiny glow of the spotlight. Competing for who will be God’s most popular spokesperson is religious silliness. Continue reading

Sneaky Demons

“That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:2

One part of that sentence doesn’t get a lot of attention. Paul reveals that someone might write a letter to the church as if from him. Imagine that! And we thought that emails and texts pretending to be legit were a recent phenomenon. The Early Church had to sort through many false letters when determining what to include in the Bible. Paul revealed in person and by letters what God wanted the churches to know. But he was likely warned by the Holy Spirit that people would attempt to deceive them. Few people would go through the bother in that period to do such a thing. Parchment was scarce and expensive, and sending it was costly. They were on a mission influenced by Satan. The goal was to discourage the Believers, cause division, and hinder Paul’s ministry. Continue reading
