Clues of the Anti-Christ Appearance (part five)

5. False Miracles

SLIDE 5 OF 8

When Jesus appeared publicly and began his ministry, he performed miracles, like healing. The Antichrist will do false miracles to claim himself as a messiah, further deceiving many.

Scripture warns us of false prophets who perform signs and wonders to deceive, as mentioned in Matthew 24:24. These false miracles validate the Antichrist’s counterfeit claims, enticing individuals to follow him instead of the true God. The book of Revelation describes the Antichrist's associate, the false prophet, who performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men (Revelation 13:13). These false miracles serve to lead people to worship the Antichrist and receive his mark (Revelation 13:14-15).

However, Jesus never performed a miracle to draw attention to himself. Again, even though he alone is worthy of worship, he often healed a person and told them to keep quiet. The act of compassion and obedience satisfied Jesus. He had rejected worldwide fame in the wilderness when Satan tempted him. In contrast, the Antichrist uses these supposed supernatural events to draw attention to himself and gain more earthly power.

As Christians, we must test the spirits to see if they are from God, as 1 John 4:1 cautions us, and remain rooted in Jesus. Jesus alone can keep us faithful to the end.

I can't repeat the following quote enough in these posts:

" We must know the real to discern the false."

Many people are being led down stream in a deception created by the devil to the door of hell itself. 

They may be losing everything they have on this earth,

in hopes of becoming rich and eternally well.

And find themselves on judgment day

being cast in to a lake of fire that burns forever.

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. ’Mathew 7:21-23

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:10 

So many people take these words as fables, lies and just plain crazy.

But they weren't spoken by just anyone.

They were spoken by the One that knows the ending from the beginning.

Because He is the Alpha and Omega.

The beginning and the end.

Revelation 1:8: “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” This verse emphasizes God's eternal existence and sovereignty over all creation.

And so it begs us to ask the question:

Who are we then to trust?

A man-made doctorine by some 

rich dude acting like he is god.

Taking money from those that pay for his false miracles of healing and riches and yet never recieving any of those themselves because they "didn't pray hard enough" or 

"have enough faith,"

Or do we trust in the One that was here from the beginning.

The One that created us.

The One that will be there always.

The words of Jesus Himself.

I don't know about you.

But I choose Jesus.

I hope you do too.

Thanks for coming by today, Friends.

Have a blessed day!

Amen!
