Because of the many
misconceptions among Christians about the identity of the Antichrist,
I've decided to shed more light on what the Bible states about the
Antichrist in order to present a clearer picture of who the Antichrist
is and what he represents.
1st of all Let us take a close look at the meaning of the word:"Anti Christ"
Anti:Against, Opposed to, in Place of
Christ:The Messiah: Jesus Christ
From
the definition above, we can deduce that the Antichrist is simply
someone or something that is against/opposed to Christ and what He
represents. We can also deduce that the Antichrist takes Christ Place.
i.e he/it rules in the place where Christ is supposed to rule.
The
word "Antichrist" can only be found in the 1st and 2nd Books of John. I
would like us to examine some of the verses that the word is found in
order to have a clearer picture of what John meant when he wrote about
the Antichrist.
-1
John 2:18-19:"Little Children it is the last time and as ye have heard
that antichrist shall come,even now there are many antichrists;whereby
You know it is the last time.They (The antichrists) went out from us but
they were not of us, for if they had been of us,they would no doubt
have continued with us but they went out that they might be made
manifest that they were not of us.
The Anti Christ is Synonymous with the Anti Christs
In the verses quoted above, John stated that "an antichrist" was to
come at the last time and that at the time he was writing there were
"many antichrists" and that the fact that there were many antichrists
proved it was the last time. We can deduce from all this that the
Antichrist and the antichrists are synonymous because John specifically
stated that an antichrist was to come at the last time and that the fact
there were antichrists in his time was evidence that it was the last
time .
John also stated
that the antichrists went out from them (the true Christians) and that
if they were true Christians they would have continued with them but
they went out in order for their true state to be manifest to everyone:
That they were never really Christians. So what/who does the Anti christ
and these Antichrists represent?For the answer to those questions, I would want us to explore more Bible verses:
The Anti Christs
1 John 2:22:"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?He is antichrist that denieth the father and the son.
From
the verse above, we can see that any one who denies that Jesus is the
Christ is a liar. We can also see that anyone that denies God and Jesus
is an Antichrist. Now the questions we ought to ask ourselves are why
did John state that anyone that denies that Jesus is the Christ is a
liar? and how do we deny God and Jesus?
1 John 1:10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2 Thess 2:12:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Spiritually
speaking, a lie is anything that runs contrary to God's will or order
of things and that is why the Bible calls satan (and his seed) a liar
(John 8:44) i.e he makes mankind to reject God's will for their lives by
ensuring that they make choices that are contrary to His will (Gen
2:17, Gen 3:4):
The truth is that Jesus Christ is the only person anointed (the name Christ means the anointed one of God) by God to save the world and the only
way to God (John 3:16, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, 1 Tim 1:15, 1 Thess 1:10).
The truth is also that we are all unworthy sinners who can never work our way back to God by our own efforts because we have a sinful and corrupt nature. (Isa 64:6, Rom 3:23, Gal 2:20-21)
Anyone
who rejects the fact that Jesus is the only person that can save
humanity (by trusting in the works that come from their sinful nature)
and rejects the need to submit to His Holy Spirit and die to sin is
therefore a liar because he/she rejects the truth: That Jesus is the one and only Christ that can save humanity from their sins and the only way back to the Father.
They
profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.Titus
1:16
We deny God when we refuse to submit to His will
for our lives. We deny Jesus when we do not adhere to his teachings,
reject His Cross, reject the need to be regenerated by His Spirit and
place our emphasis on works i.e relying on self works and rejecting the
need for Christ to live and work through us (Phil 3:18-19, Gal 2:21)
The Anti Christ:
-1
John 4:3-4:"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus is come in
the flesh is not of God:and this is "that spirit of antichrist"whereof
ye have heard that it should come,and 'even now'is it 'in the world'.Ye
are of God and have overcome them for greater is he that is in You than
he that is in the world".
From the verses above we can see
that "every spirit" that confesses not that Jesus is come in the flesh
is not of God but is the"spirit of the antichrist" which John claimed
was already "in the world" during his time. It also goes on to say that
greater is the person who is in the church than the person who is in the
world.
I think the verses are self explanatory but I will still
try to explain a bit further to make them clearer. The Bible is clear
that the antichrist is a spirit. It states that every spirit that doesn't confess Jesus is come in the flesh is not of God.
In
other words, every Spirit that doesn't show that Jesus has entered
(come) and taken residence in a person (the flesh) is not of God:
Anybody who manifests a spirit (by his/her actions) that negates what
Christ represents is manifesting the Antichrist. It also goes on to say
that the Antichrist is "in the world":
Why do you think the
world has a lawless and rebellious nature? Why do you think they are
intolerant of the Gospel? Why do you think they have a strong
inclination to sin and reject what the Bible says about Jesus and His
will for humanity? The answer to these questions is: Because of the
spirit of rebellion (antichrist spirit) that indwells and works in them
and thus makes them antichrists. (Note that the phrase "the spirit that indwells us" doesn't mean the spirit in your body of flesh and blood, it means the spirit inside your real self i.e the mind/soul that controls the material vessel that we call the body)
But to all those who have put
on the image of the new man: Jesus Christ by accepting Him into their
hearts and letting Him work through them (Col 3:10), John had this to
say: "Greater is He who is in you (The Holy spirit) than he that is in
the world" (spirit of rebellion:antichrist)
The Antichrist is the
spirit that empowers all the rebellious and sinful tendencies that
govern the hearts of the children of men (remember John made it clear
that it was already "in" the world) and pits them against their Maker (makes them antichrists). It is the spirit of satan
that empowers this cursed nature (The same way the Spirit of Christ
empowers the nature of God in His church i.e.the children of God)
How it Manifests in the Church
There
are millions of nominal Christians around the world today who are
anything but Christian. They reject the cross of Christ and place all
their emphasis on self works (Romans 4:4-5) They wear religious garbs
but inwardly they are un-regenerated (Isa 30:1, Matt 23:28). They
emphasize the prosperity of the body instead of the prosperity of the
soul and glory in the works of the flesh instead of the cross of Christ
(Gal 6:12-14, Matt 13:22).
From the definition of the word
antichrist above, these people are antichrists because they are opposed
to what Christ represents: Righteousness self denial etc and when they
act like this, they deny the God they profess to serve because they
reject his path to salvation: Jesus Christ.
In the
so called 'church', the Antichrist manifests as false teachings.
Doctrines that exalt the self instead of the savior and teachings that
promote self enhancement instead of self denial. It also manifests as
false miracles and lying wonders in order to delude people into
accepting the Antichrist spirit as that of the real Christ.
That
is why Jesus said that in the last days, many would come in His name
saying: 'He is the Christ' and would deceive many (Matt 24:5). Notice
that these people come as Christians (in Christ's name), but yet they
deceive many.
How do you think they accomplish this? By
fooling people (twisting scripture to conform to their antichrist
desires 2 Pet 2:1, 2 Pet 3:16) to accept antichrist tendencies as being
Christ's. Jesus also said that the deception would be so strong that if
it were possible the elect would be deceived (Matt 24:24 ). This should
show you how strong the deception would be.
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.Prov 14:15
Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
Many
people would preach (half truths and blatant lies) in Jesus name, quote
from the Bible, pray in Jesus name, perform miracles, give alms, pay
tithes and advocate legalistic 'works' of self-effort and perfectionist
performance and piety. But it would negate Christ's finished work on the
cross and would promote the self's abilities and desires. And that is
what classifies their actions as Antichrist.
For they
being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish
their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the
righteousness of God.Rom 10:3
The Bible states that
the Antichrists went out of the true Christians (departed from the true
faith).'Christianity' in its form today has departed from the true
faith and is now a man made institution of works and self centered
doctrines. It is founded on man made doctrines and that is the reason
why it is divided: Anglicans are built on what the Anglicans deem to be
good, Catholics are built on what Catholics feel is godly, Pentecostals
are built on what they feel is of God etc.and that is also the reason
why there is an abundance of false teaching in the church today :
Because it is built on what the people feel is good , not on Christ:
As
a result of all this, we see so called Christians today condoning
things clearly forbidden by God: Homosexuality, Greed, Attachment to
mundane things etc.
As true followers of Christ, we should
be built on Christ, not on man made institutions and doctrines. Jesus
didn't come to make you a Baptist or an Episcopalian. He came to
regenerate you to bear His image and reconcile you with your Maker.
The
purpose of His death was not to give you the ability to be able choose
or develop your own church. The purpose of His death was to purchase you
and make you His own Church (Body) on earth (1 Cor 6:20, Acts 20:28)
Also
these days, so called Christians are drawn more to their so called
pastors and prophets than they are to Jesus. They are like babies that
never want to grow up. They prefer following the counsel of the so
called clergy to searching out the scriptures by themselves. They also
prefer to remain reliant on the so called clergy: Any problem or
challenge that they have is taken to the 'powerful' man of God instead
of Jesus. These practices are not representative of Jesus Christ but are
Antichrist.
Many of God's children still think that
satan's Antichrist 'church' system is of God and that is why the Bible
states in Rev 18:4:":...Come out of her(Babylon), my people (God's
people), that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues". Many of God's people (Zion) have been fooled to accept
Babylon (system of the antichrist) as ideal.
They
are fooled by the fact that the prophets of Babylon use Jesus name in
all they do and quote from the scripture. But what many of God's people
are ignorant of is that God cannot be found in the walls of the
buildings they go to every Sunday: They are ignorant of the fact that
true Christians meet as a Church and not in a Church: Irrespective of
where Christians meet they are collectively the Church of Christ on
earth.
The minute God's people realize that they are supposed to be
God's Church (Body) on earth they would stop paying all the attention
they pay to the building they call church and start paying attention to
each other: The true Church. As it stands today in so many 'Churches', a
lot of money (sometimes running into millions of dollars) is devoted to
the buildings and to the 'Pastor' while the true Church is neglected:
People glory more in how many people can be seated in their 'churches'
than in how many people are truly serving the Lord.
Also, the Lord
cannot be found by joining the choir, doing charitable deeds or paying
tithes (works) God can only be found in Christ and the path to Christ is
the way of the cross (self denial). That is why the angel of God cries
out for Zion to depart from Babylon: Choosing to Remain in Babylon
(Antichrist system of falsehood) would only lead to deception and
subsequently God's judgment because the truth can only be found in
Christ.
And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love
of the truth, that they might be saved And for this cause God shall send
them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.2 Thess 2:10-12
And
this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.John
3:19
I know that some of the people
who read the things that I wrote above would disagree vehemently with
many of the points I made. They would point to the good works that many
people in the 'church' system do. They would also claim that many people
in the 'Church' system genuinely believe they are serving the Lord and
that they diligently support causes that promote His Kingdom on earth. They
would also be very keen to emphasize the fact that majority of
professing 'Christians' are in the church system in order to justify it.
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?John 8:33
They
answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto
them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of
Abraham.John 8:39
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.John 8:41
The
Jews in Jesus time also believed they were of God. They called God and
Abraham their Father. As custodians of the Law, they must have performed
all their religious obligations regularly and wholeheartedly:
They
must have read the Tanakh very diligently, tried to obey its
instructions in their "own" power and paid their Tithes. They even
believed that they were free because "they were not in bondage to
anyone". However their feelings and beliefs did not change Jesus Mind
about them.
The fact that they called God and
Abraham their Father did not fool Jesus. Their so called good works,
observance of the Sabbath and study of the Old testament did not deceive
Him. Even the argument that they were descendants of Abraham the Father
of Faith was not powerful enough to convince Him to change His mind
about them because He knew the true condition of their heart: They were
under the influence of their Father the devil and not the God that they
claimed to worship:
Ye
are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
Majority
does not carry the vote in the Kingdom of God, truth does. Jesus only
had 12 disciples (1 later betrayed Him) and a handful of followers on
earth in His day. On the other hand, the Pharisees and the religious
zealots in His time had a greater followership but it didn't change the
fact that He was right and they were wrong. We must never use numbers as
a yardstick to determine what is true
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7:13-14
Any
'Jesus'(or God) that we conceive in our minds that is different from
the Jesus revealed in the Bible is a false Jesus even if we call him
(the person that we imagine or conceive) Jesus, serve Him diligently and
sincerely believe in our minds that He is the real Jesus.
Sincerely
believing a lie does not make the lie the truth: A dog would always
remain a dog even if its owner treats it as if it were a cat and sincerely
believes in His heart that it is a cat.
The Jesus of our conception must conform 100% with the Jesus that God revealed to us in His Word.
How it manifests in the World
The
Antichrist spirit also manifests itself in the rest of the unrepentant
world: It is the lawless spirit of sin that rejects the cross and
glorifies self works. It is the spirit that empowers the "I can do it
all" delusion that is at the heart of humanism. It is the spirit that
empowers the doctrine of self promotion: The doctrine that we come 1st
and that we have a right to be ourselves instead of denying ourselves to
know our Maker better.

It
is the spirit that promotes the things we can do by relying on our
genius instead of relying on God:i.e being a law to ourselves (Gen 3:4-5). It
is the spirit that prompts us to do what we like and be ourselves. It
is the spirit that promotes the doctrine that we do not need Jesus and
that we can save ourselves by awakening our 'christ' (serpent, satanic)
nature within. It is the spirit that mystics believe would eventually
elevate mankind to their so called "christ conscious"state.
They believe that awakening the kundalini (god
consciousness, 'serpent nature') that sleeps (lies dormant) in their
souls and in the souls of the rest of humanity is the only way that they
can save themselves and the rest of the world i.e they believe that the
soul can only be brought to wholeness by activating the dormant serpent
nature embedded within it (which it is ignorant of).
Kundalini
represents the image of the fallen Adam that lives in every sinner. The
serpent made Eve believe that bearing this image was the only way she
could be exalted to godhood and that is the same lie that he is going to
use to cajole the unrepentant world to obey him and submit to his accursed image today.

The
Anti Christ is the spirit that prompts us to choose the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil at the expense of the tree of life and this
lawless spirit of rebellion (image of sin, satanic lifeforce) has been "in"side humanity (and the rest of creation ) since the fall of Adam and Eve (they inherited it when they"in"gested the forbidden fruit in Eden and they passed it to "all "their future seed: i.e we all inherited it from them, Read Gen 5:3 ):That
is the reason why John stated that it was already in the world, why
mystics claim it is already in humanity and only needs to be 'Stirred
up' and it is what the Bible refers to when it states in 2 Thess 2:6-7:
"And
now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.For
the mystery of iniquity doth 'already' work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way".(It is called the mystery of
iniquity because it is the mysterious force that triggers mankind to
sin)
The mystery of iniquity is "already working"
the verse above states however, it also states that it was being
restrained at the time St Paul was writing. Who do you think restrains
(and eventually destroys) the antichrist in Christians? Christ of
course.
His word curtails our lawless tendencies. His
spirit suppresses the drive to explore the rebellious spirit in us. The
law of His Father makes us abandon our self will. But when Christ is
taken out of the way, when His words are made irrelevant and are totally
abandoned by the church, the antichrist will fully manifest.The
Antichrist is suppressed (in varying degrees) in the rest of the
unrepentant world by their individuality (called Jiva in Hindu parlance). The Hindus believe that as long as humanity is 'Jiva conscious' they are under an illusion (Maya): The consciousness of their bodies and/or souls & the ignorance of the potential of and connection to the 'universal spirit' that animates their souls.
They
also believe that the only way to attain enlightenment and realize the
'truth' is to realize that the distinction between the individual self
and the universe is a false dichotomy and that the distinction between consciousness and physical matter, between mind and body, between the ultimate serpent and the individual soul is the result of an unenlightened (ignorant) perspective.
All
satanic mystery schools believe that they will eventually succeed in
awakening this serpent in themselves and subsequently in the rest of
humanity & that once this has been accomplished, a New World Order
under the serpents rule would be established: One that is controlled by
the inner spark which they have been fooled to think can make them
divine.
When this happens, the heights of lawlessness and
rebellion would be unleashed on the land and that is the last time that
John refers to: The time when man exalts himself over his true Maker,
disregards His truth & instead embraces reason, occult knowledge and
science. It is during this time the sin of man will fully manifest.We
can see from all this that it is the Antichrist spirit that makes us
'anti'christs. In the same way, we become 'Christ'ians when we submit to
the Spirit of Christ.
Spirit of Satan
"The
serpent is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior, who
redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the
realization of good and evil." Manly P. Hall, 33 Degree Mason, The Secret Teachings of All Ages
The
Antichrist spirit is the spirit of satan that lives in our hearts and
deludes us to think that we can only be brought to wholeness by looking
inward (Gen 3:4-6).
That is why the Bible says thus of the man of sin: 2 Thess 2 :9-10:
"Even
him, whose coming is after the "working of Satan" with all power and
signs and lying wonders,And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
"in"them that perish because they received not the love of the truth,
that they might be saved. "
2
Thess 2:4-"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God."
It
is part of the trajectory of human evolution, the canvas of choice
before us now as we recognize that we have come to possess the powers
that we used to attribute to the gods.barbaramarxhubbard.com
The Antichrist spirit reigns in us when it takes God's place in His Temple: I.e is enthroned in us (we are God's Temple 1:Cor 6:19 ) and works in us to produce all sorts of unrighteous and anti-christian tendencies.
However,
when we accept Christ the image of God within and die to the anti
christ spirit within us, God would be enthroned in us and will work
within our hearts to produce Godly fruit Phil 2:3:
"For it is "God which worketh in you" both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

It
is the spirit of our age that rejects God and God's Word, and promotes
man and what he can do with all of its power: The purpose of education
today is enhancing man's intelligence and welfare; the purpose of
science and technology is good life for man and the advancement of his
ingenuity, the goal of entertainment is satisfying man's base desires:
Hedonism says it all. Because of this, the world is currently crowded
with antichrists who hate Christ and His truth and live their lives
contrary to His will.

The
anti christ spirit also makes us feel that we are good enough and that
we are free to explore ourselves and the spirit that animates us at all
times (denies the need for repentance).
But all
true christians know that in order to be reconciled to God, they have to
be regenerated by Christ's Spirit. That is why Jesus told the Jews in
John 8:44:
"You are of Your father the devil and the lusts of Your father You would do...."

that are born of the flesh (and those who are reborn of (awaken to) the
antichrist's spirit) are naturally sinners (antichrists). Those that
accept the work of the cross and die to the image of sin that promotes
the self and the serpent are naturally righteous: That is why the Bible
states in 1 John 3:7-8:
"Little children, let no man deceive
you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is
righteous.He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that
he might destroy the 'works of the devil."
The antichrist is not the beast of
Revelation 13. The beast of Rev 13 is an antichrist but is not the
Antichrist, the false prophet is also not the antichrist. However, he is
an antichrist because he negates Christ. The Antichrist is the world's
counterfeit Christ, the spirit that promotes the self and the serpent instead of the Savior:
The
Word of God tells us that many would be deluded into accepting the
antichrist as Christ because of the oneness and acceptance of everyone
it would emphasize. However, true Christians will never be deluded
because they know that friendship with the world is enmity with God
(James 4:4). They know that they have to deny themselves of their evil
nature in order to know and be reconciled with the true God (John 12:25)
Destroy, not Awaken
-He
that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil.1 John 3:8
-And
the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Rom 16:20
-And
I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and
her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.Gen
3:15
-Forasmuch
then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Heb 2:14
It
is clearly evident from the verses above that Jesus did not come to
exalt or awaken the image of sin (serpent, satan) in us. He came to
bruise and destroy it. It is also evident that He didn't come to
reconcile us with the inner serpent. He came to create an enmity between
the serpent and His bride (the Church) and between the serpent's seed
(satanic image, corrupt nature that we naturally possess) and His
bride's seed (The perfected nature, Jesus Righteous image that is 'born'
when the Church enthrones Jesus in her heart.) His death on the cross
represented the destruction of the image of sin (satan) and his
resurrection represented the new life that we experience when we conform to his death and accept His Holy spirit.
-Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in "newness of life."Rom 6:4
-For the death that He died, He "died to sin once for all;" but the life that He lives, "He lives to God".Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.Rom 6:10-11
How to identify the Antichrist and the True Christ in the Church:
1.
John 4:5-6:"They are from the world and therefore speak from the
viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God,
and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does
not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the
spirit of falsehood".
The Bible states in the verse above: They
(the Antichrists) are of the world and speak from the world's viewpoint.
One distinguishing mark of the Antichrist's system is that it conforms
to the principles of the world. It speaks (promotes) the things of the
world (things the world respects) It prompts people to seek money not
the Holy spirit.
It prompts them to live for
self (world doctrine of self enhancement) instead of the Savior. It
prompts them to live for now instead of living for eternity. It bases
its standards on worldly principles and that is why the world listens to
it.
The true church of God preaches the
cross.Only the true children of God listen to the message of the cross.
They know they have to deny themselves in order to know God. All
devotees of the self reject the cross and exalt the image of sin that
lives within them over it and that is why they will never listen to the
message of the cross: Because it offends their self pride. That is why
there is an eternal enmity between the church and the world.
2. Col
2: 16-17:"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Which
are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The
Antichrist's system prefers to identify with symbol than with
reality.e.g.They (those who are conformed to it) make much ado about
keeping the sabbath day but they are not ready to partake in God's rest
because they advocate their own works (Heb 4).
They prefer
putting the symbol of the cross on their buildings to embracing the
cross of Christ. They prefer going to the 'church' to being the Church.
They prefer celebrating the birth of Christ to allowing Christ to be
born and formed in their hearts (Gal 4:19) etc. Christ's true Church is
more interested in reality than in symbols.3.Matt 7:21-23:
3." Not every
one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity".
The Antichrist's system is
more concerned with signs, wonders and 'outer good works' than in
producing fruit. Those who are conformed to it are more interested in
speaking in tongues, casting out devils, prophesying, raising the dead
and doing outer works than in submitting to their Maker and letting Him
work through them.
As you can see in the verse above, the
people were so surprised when Christ rejected them because they thought
that the fact that they showed signs and did 'good works' was an
endorsement. But God rejected them.
True
Christians are more interested in bearing fruit and obeying their
Father. They are more interested in God renewing them on the inside and
working through them. They are well aware that obedience to God is
better than sacrifice (outer works of piety) That is why Jesus said "by
their fruit (not by their signs or their philanthropy) you shall know
them".
4.James 4:4: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.
Eph 4:13:Till we all come
in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto
a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ.
Luke 12:51:Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.
Exo 8:23:"And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be."
-"I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions. And I respect all people and all paths."Will Smith
The
Antichrist's system preaches unity (friendship, oneness) with the
world. Christ's system preaches division from the world and unity with
the church.
5.-I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.Phil 4:13
-Were
not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots
and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered
them into thine hand.2 Chr 16:8
-For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.Psalm 44:6
-Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.Prov 3:5
-Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
-Then
said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.Matt 16:24
The Antichrist's system emphasizes our inner abilities and desires. Christ's system emphasizes Christ's abilities and desires.
6a.But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.Luke 6:24
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Luke 6:26.
The
Prophets of the Antichrist are loved by the people. They dine and
consult with Presidents, Prime ministers and 'important' personalities.
They are chauffeured in the most expensive cars and own palatial homes.
6b.For
he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a
dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.He is despised and rejected
of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it
were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isa
53:2-3
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I
have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and
walk.Acts 3:6
If ye were of the world, the world would love his
own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.John 15:19.
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. 2 Cor 10:10.
....we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.1 Cor 4:13.
And
the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah
the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him;
for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat
said, Let not the king say so.1 Kings 22:8
The Prophets of God are
hated by the people. They are accorded no recognition by earthly
authorities. They are not attractive to the earthly minded. They are not
known by how much money they have but by the offensive but effective
(if applied) truth that they preach.
7a.As many as desire to make a
fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest
they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.Gal 6:12
For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:Whose end is
destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their
shame, who mind earthly things. Phil 3:18-19
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 Pet 3:3
The Antichrist's 'Church' is persecution and suffering free.
7b.Confirming
the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the
faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom
of God.Acts 14:22
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.Acts 9:16
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. Psalm 73:14
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.2 Tim 3:12
Christ's Church "must" suffer and be persecuted for His sake.
The
presumption of being a follower of Christ based on outer good works,
rather than the experiential reality of inviting Jesus into our hearts,
allowing Him to destroy the rebellious spirit that animates us (By
submitting to His Cross) and submitting our souls to His Holy Spirit is
make-believe Christianity.
Such Christianity
is of Babylon and is a perfect reflection of the Beast which had horns
like a lamb but spoke like a dragon (Appearing to be godly on the
outside but un-regenerated in the heart:Matt 23:25). True Christians do
not try to be like Jesus by their own self righteous efforts. They know
their best efforts are like filthy rags. They do the works of Christ
when they submit to His authority (I.e when they reject the spirit that
empowers their sinful nature and accept His righteous nature by letting
His Holy Spirit work in them and through them)
-Now
we have received, 'not the spirit of the world', but 'the spirit which
is of God'; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of
God.1 Cor 2:12
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.Acts 5:32
Note:Kundalini is referred to by different names by various mystical groups. Gnostics refer to it as the 'divine spark' that resides in all human beings, the ancient Egyptians referred to it as ka.The Quakers refer to it as the inner light. Shintos refer to it as kami.The urantia book refers to it as the Thought adjuster. Alchemists refer to it as Prima materia while eckankar (& many other mystical groups) refers to it as the god consciousness that we can only realize within.
Also
note that it was Eve (the female, soul) that received the forbidden
fruit from the serpent (the rebellious spirit) and shared the knowledge
with her husband Adam (male, old mind). That is the reason why the 'sleeping' Kundalini is refered to as a feminine power:
I.e It lies dormant in the soul (inside Eve, the recipient of the knowledge i.e the soul is the custodian of the forbidden knowledge)
Since the fall of man, the old mind (Adam) has been captivated by the deceitful and seductive 'beauty'
(potential) that lies dormant in the soul (i.e the so called christ
consciousness, philosophers stone that occultists seek) and it is our
fascination with the 'beauty' in the soul that makes it very hard for us
to return to God because we are captivated by all the things that we
can do without Him.
Unlike the accursed kundalini power, Jesus Christ the wisdom of God (The new man, mind) is
not found inside the soul. He is found outside the soul. He is beyond
us and we must humbly stand in awe at His glory and submit to Him in
order to be saved. Our minds (our carnal understanding, the old man)
must not be captivated with the wisdom in the soul because it is an
earthly sensual and devilish wisdom ( James 3:15 )
That is why God tells the woman that her desire must be to her husband and He would rule over her (Gen 3:16 ):
Our
desire must not be towards the custodian of the sleeping power like
Adam's was. We , the carnal man/mind (Adam ) i.e the way we perceive
ourselves in this world i.e as mere bodies) must realize that we are
really lost souls in bondage to the devil (women held captive to the
thoughts, acts and potential of the inner spirit of satan) who are
desperately in need of Jesus Christ (the new man, restored mind ) and
who must look to Him to save us from the accursed spirit embedded
within us
(He saves us by destroying it in our hearts and replenishing
our souls with His Spirit) and when we gear our desires towards Christ,
die to the inner antichrist and allow him to refill us with His Spirit,
the husband of our souls (our minds, awareness) changes from being
carnal (the fallen Adam) to being Spiritual (in the image of Jesus
Christ: Christ like)
Some
of you might be wondering, how can Adam be the carnal mind when the
Bible says that God originally made Adam in His own image and likeness.
(God is spiritual, not carnal) Adam is the carnal mind made spiritual by
the breath (Spirit) of God.
God
rebuked Adam for partaking in the fruit offered to him by Eve (the
deceived soul) because he chose to disregard the awareness that he had
by being at one with God and chose to follow his original instincts :
his carnality, the ground (nature) he was originally taken from i.e Only
the fallen mind can be fascinated by the wisdom that is dormant in the
soul.
You
might also be wondering: Why do occultists refer to Eve as the soul
when the Bible states the man is the living soul. The awareness of the
life in soul and the soul are one the same thing and cannot be separated
from each other because the awareness of the soul is directly
proportional to the state of the soul i.e A soul that is aware of Jesus
Spirit in the soul is in heaven. i.e it has life and that is why Adam
was referred to as a living soul A soul that is aware of itself or
satan's spirit in the soul is in hell (separated from God) i.e is dead.
The Bible says the 2 shall become one so
attempting to separate the awareness of the soul from the soul is
equivalent to attempting to separate the genes of a father from his
child (the product of both his parents). It is impossible to do that
because both the genes of the father and the mother are inseparable from
the single unit that they procreated.
The male and female are 2 different functions/parts fused into one inseparable unit. The woman part of the soul aka Eve could be defined as the emotions. It is that part of us that is devoid of God. It consists of our desires, intellect and our natural way of reasoning. It is the intellect and desire part of us that is tempted by the devil. When we disregard the Word of God and follow our reason, "in"tuition and "in"tellect (notice the emphasis on in), we enthrone the devil. The man part of the soul aka Adam could be defined as the Mind in general. When this mind is ruled by Jesus Christ i.e aware of Jesus, He controls and covers (i.e makes it ignorant of) the excesses of the emotional part of the soul but when the mind of Jesus Christ is 'murdered' through disobedience and following the woman i.e the emotions, the mind dies to Christ and is ruled by the emotions (the woman) and the inner serpent that is embedded in the woman (consciousness that empowers a life outside Christ).
The
living Adam (the one made alive by the breath of God) refers to the
awareness of the soul of the Spirit of Jesus and the dead Adam (the one
that God took from the ground) is the dead awareness that the soul has
of itself and the 'serpent Adam' is the awareness of the soul of the
serpent embedded in the soul. (it is also dead because it is separated
from God i.e Life)
Meaning of Awareness
Spirit
awareness is simply the level of understanding and submission to the
power of the spirit within the soul and it is very possible for the
Spirit of Christ/ satan to live in an individual without the individual
being conscious (or completely conscious) of it which explains why the
kundalini is dormant in people.i.e in those who have a carnal awareness.
As
the mind (the consciousness) becomes more aware of the spirit that is
embedded within the soul, it evolves to become more like the spirit and
if it dies to/ is ignorant of the spirit, it remains carnal/earthly. i.e
the mind aware of Christ bears the image of Christ, the mind aware of
soul bears the image of soul, the mind aware of satan bears the image
of satan and the mind that is ignorant of the soul and the spirit bears
the image of the flesh i.e it sees itself as a mere body.
That is the reason why God cursed the ground (carnal awareness, the name Adam comes from the Hebrew word אֲדָמָה which
translates to Adamah in Latin which also translates to ground in
English) that resulted from the ingestion of the fruit because the
carnal (earthly) mind can never produce godly fruit. It can only produce
thorns and thistles (weeds, unwanted fruits forbidden by God).
Only
the new Adam (the spiritual mind, awareness of God) can produce godly
fruit acceptable to God and that is why Jesus calls Himself the Bread of
life who we must eat to live. When we eat Jesus (partake of his
wisdom), our minds (grounds) evolve to produce fruits (lusts, desires)
that are pleasing to God because they conform to his desires.
His
curse on the serpent (satanic spirit, life force) that was ingested
symbolizes the fact that the serpent can never elevate souls to Heaven
or make them produce godly fruit. He only ends up deceiving destroying
the souls that he claims to liberate & offer divinity which is why
God tells him that he will feed on (devour) dust (souls) all the days of
his life (all the time that he is enthroned or lives in the soul)
Woman made from man:
Some
of you might also be wondering why the woman had to be made from the
man (Gen 2:21-22) , The man is the dyad oversoul (the man made in God's
image i.e the 'man God') that brings the world soul into existence (i.e
gives it life or the awareness of God), the same way that the second
Adam, Jesus Christ is the dyad oversoul (God made in man's image i.e the
God man) that gives all repentant souls life and awareness of God. i.e
Adam brought Eve into existence the same way that Christ's quickens His
Church and brings them into the awareness of God and enables them to
live in/experience His reality/paradise (John 14:6 , John 6:53 )
Just
as Adam was the 1st born of God's initial creation (i.e He was created
before Eve), Jesus is also the 1st born of God's new creation (Col 1:15 )
because He is the source of their life and awareness and that is why
the Bible states that the woman comes from the man (meaning the woman
gets her awareness/consciousness from the man.
But because of her
fall into sin i.e separation from Spirit, she has to be reconnected with
the spirit/awareness that she was banished from by re-inviting it by
faith and giving birth to it as her nature i.e making the two become one
(Heb 2:11 ) and that is why she is called the woman=womb-man=womb of
man i.e the womb of the man.
Separation of the man/God dyad
Adam's
ingestion of the forbidden fruit (fall into sin) meant that the man
part of the man/god dyad (the carnal awareness that was previously
submitted to (at one with)
the Spirit of God) separated from the God part of the dyad (God's
Spirit) and joined with the rebellious spirit earthly/soul dyad of his
wife (The soul with the ingested fruit within) and whenever the carnal
awareness is aware of his wife i.e the emotions but ignorant of the spirit embedded in his wife,
it remains carnal. i.e the wife is asleep, asleep because her satanic potential is dormant.
Whenever
the mind becomes aware of the spirit embedded in the soul i.e the realization of the life hidden in his wife, the man (the mind) begins to realize the potential of the serpent within. i.e the life of the wife (the serpent) is gradually 'awakening' and making the mind realize its connection to the serpent and its potential when it connects to it and whenever the rebellious spirit within fully awakens i.e when the kundalini fully awakens, man becomes
mystical and understands the hidden mysteries of satan or kaballah. i.e an adept of satan, the rebellious spirit. i.e the wife is
fully awake and aware of satan and her connection to his spirit.
After
carefully reading the explanations above, it should become evident to
the reader that the Bible's account of the creation and fall of man is
not merely a literal account of a man, his wife a snake and an apple
tree.
It
is a symbolic explanation which seeks to explain to us how the world
soul (Eve) was deceived by the rebellious spirit (satan), how the spirit
became embedded within the soul and how the world mind (Adam) came
about and it can only be understood mystically. i.e by those who are led
by the Holy Spirit.
Spirit of Christ.
It
should also become evident that the events of Eden affect us all
because we all originate from Eve (the mother of all souls) who has the
rebellious spirit within (meaning our souls have the same spirit within)
and because we are naturally ignorant of the embedded spirit within our
souls, we all reflect the ignorant mind state of our fallen Father (the
carnal mind, Adam) and are prone to make the same mistake that he made.
Our Origin
We (as individuals) are the individual representation of Adam and Eve. i.e an individual soul and mind with
a fragment of the spirit that they ingested embedded within us (inside
our our souls) i.e our individual soul, mind and spirit originated
from the world soul, world mind and the rebellious world spirit
embedded within the world soul and that is why occultists teach that we
have a spark of their so called 'god'.
Diagram which occultists often use to illustrate the ignorant state that humanity is in.The egg (i.e
'eggo' = the ego, individualized self) represents their ignorant state.
The serpent represents the god of this world. They believe that In
order to become enlightened and be set free, humanity must break out of the egg that they sleep in (get rid of their individuality) and connect to the serpent
The
Universal symbol of medicine. It is called the rod of Asclepius. Notice
that it consists of a single serpent on a pole. The single serpent on
the pole represents the sleeping/dormant kundalini power or maya,
the illusory and unideal state that occultists hope to break out from
by connecting to the universal spirit. Notice that the top of the rod is
broken. This is meant to drive home the occult belief that earthly life
is broken and incomplete when it is devoid of spirit. It was adopted as
a medical symbol in order to reflect the fact that doctors are
specialists in saving and enhancing earthly life i.e the sleeping
consciousness state.
The
Caduceus or the Herald's staff. Notice that it consists of 2 serpents on
a single pole. The single pole symbolizes a single entity. Also notice
that the serpents on the pole are roled around each other. They
symbolize the union of the two diverse forces in nature: spirit and soul
(the union brings about the awakened antichrist state) in an individual
entity (hence the single pole)
Take note of the wings above the pole. They symbolize the occult belief that people can only become divine when they merge with
(awaken to) the satanic spirit embedded in creation . Note that the top
of the staff is complete. It symbolizes the 'whole' man, the one who
believes he has attained satan's promise of godhood (Gen 3:5 ).
As
a symbolic object, the Caduceus represents Hermes or the roman god
Mercury and the reasons why it represents the pagan 'god' mercury are
not far fetched:
Unlike
Medical doctors who deal with earthly life, Mercury is 'divine' and so
deals with divine life. Mercury was also known as the guide of souls in
the underworld: Awakening the sleeping spirit (serpent) in the soul is
the guide of the children of satan to the wholeness state that he
promised them. Mercury was also known as "the mediator" because he
brought peace to the 2 contrary serpents. Awakening and submitting to
(making peace with) the satanic spirit is the key to occult
'enlightenment'.
The
Caduceus represents the awakened state of the Antichrist and the rod of Aesculapius represents the sleeping state of the antichrist i.e the
carnal mind is ruled by ignorant consciousness and the occult initiated
mind is ruled by awakened consciousness and that is why 2 Thess 2:6-7
claims that the restrained (sleeping) state and the awakened state are
the same spirit (the mystery of iniquity) in different states (sleeping and awake) .
The
Star of life. Internationally, it represents the Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) and is usually found on ambulances. Note that it also
consists of a serpent on a pole. Of course you already know that the
serpent represents satan, the life force of the earth. You also know
that it represents the life force in its dormant state
because it is a single serpent . However unlike the rod of Asclepius, the top of the staff is not broken.
It
is called the 'star of life' because occultists believe that the
'light' (potential) that is hidden inside the dormant (dark) spirit
(which is embedded inside the soul ) is the 'pole' star that guides
occult initiates to wholeness (the double serpent state) and that is
why it is used to represent emergency services i.e the emergence
(emegen-cy) of the serpent from its dormant state. Note that ambulances
are 'called' during emergencies (Chaos, tragedy, disorder) in order to
help alleviate tragedies. i.e restore order.
The calling forth (awakening through occult rites)
of the sleeping serpent leads to its 'emergence' (realization) in the
consciousness of man and signifies the end of 'ignorance' and 'darkness'
(chaos) and the beginning of the journey to establish 'order' (occult
enlightenment, fully awakened state) and that is why the rod is not
broken at the top. i.e it symbolizes the processes involved in returning
to wholeness.
And of course the 6 (six hex sex) sided shape which
consists of a straight line 'piercing' an x symbolizes the union of soul
and spirit in order to attain occult 'perfection' X = female (soul) l =
male (the serpent spirit) The union between the two (which can only
happen when the serpent 'emerges'/ is realized) produces the double
serpent (awakened) state.
