A Quote From Luther

“…Many have had the Holy Spirit before the birth of Christ,

and yet he was not revealed unto them.”

– Table Talk, p.106

 

 

Who will come first Christ or the antichrist? If Christ is first why did He warn not to be “deceived” (Mat 24.4, Mar 13.5, Luk 21.8)? Consider 2 more vv: Mat 24.30b “…then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of man coming…” & Rev 1.7 “…He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him…all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.” Why mourning/wailing? Will they do this because they’ve already taken the Mark (thinking he was real) & NOW know they’re damned? Think.

D E A T H

D “death” was once a known, but distant foe.

E (each one dies you eventually come to know)

A and yet, we hate to admit facts, ancient, grim

T (thinking how we’d out-run, out-smart him)

H how wrong: “appointed…once to die” – we all go.

Many rich men/women are trying to make “heaven” out of some corner of earth. They accumulated enough to buy a huge yacht, a fine building (have penthouse on entire floor or two), own sections of land, a private jet. They travel & dine first class & dress well. Sadly, if they’ve not submitted to Jesus Christ they’ll never see the real heaven & the one they’ve idolized will collapse. As I’ve driven by some nice homes I’ve prayed that they enjoy it but have a better one above (or similar words).

“The mere fact of GLOSSOLALIA or any other estatic utterance

is no evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit.”

1. F. Bruce, BOOK OF ACTS

 

 

Gal 6. 7

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked:

for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

 

 

The last couple of yrs I’ve become increasingly aware of satan’s deception. I wish I could awaken you. The devil has strongholds (Rev12.9 “…deceiveth the whole world…” Rev18.23 “…all nations deceived”) & is strongly using US via massive “news,” TV, & hollywood’s devilish industries. Yes, Friend there IS danger of YOU being deceived (some of you already are). Pray. OPEN your eyes. Learn to question everything but the Bible & become better acquainted (reading, memorizing, meditating) with It.
