When the World Believes the Lie – John Barnett
“On the finish of days, Devil empowers one man to win the world.
He affords to fulfill all of mankind’s needs for peace & security. He turns into Devil’s substitute for Jesus Christ within the particular person of the antichrist.
As we speak, we’re taking a look at how God describes the launch of this occasion. However why are we doing so? As a result of REVELATION exhibits us that GOD is in Cost.
Earlier than we dive into God directing the ending of human historical past as we all know it, chances are you’ll be asking whether or not or not a examine of eschatology has any actual, private applicability.
Revelation classes are nice, chances are you’ll suppose, however I simply misplaced my job, or my children are getting bullied at college, or my mother and father simply bought so sick now we have to take care of them, or my daughter is relationship a fellow that isn’t even saved and she or he appears to be turning away from us and the Lord; or any of hundreds extra private struggles we collectively face.
As you pay attention at the moment, you’ll be aware that God is aware of all the pieces upfront. Which means not simply the seals of chapter 6, but additionally the job you misplaced this week, the well being of your child about to be born, and the end result of subsequent week’s surgical procedure or job interview.
A examine of Revelation confirms the DOCTRINE of God:
Nothing misses His sight. He is aware of ALL of historical past upfront.
God shouldn’t be passive. Almighty God is at work guiding each occasion, each catastrophe, each acquire or loss, and does so completely.
A examine of Revelation additionally reminds us of the Doctrine of Redemption:
God redeemed us with Christ’s blood. God simply needs our undivided devotion. Almighty God needs us to hearken to, comply with, and love Him a lot that we belief Him. The lesson He provides us at the moment is that we must always belief Him as a result of He’s getting ready to ship a: GLOBAL Deception.
Revelation 6 has already advised us that God is launching a white horseman to quickly fill the earth with a false and misleading peace. In a really brief time, nearly the entire earth will comply with this emissary of Devil in human flesh referred to as the Antichrist. The saddest commentary on the fallen coronary heart of humanity there may ever be, is that in following the Antichrist and rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ, humanity is all the time making the mistaken selections.
The antichrist like Devil—involves kill, steal, and destroy. As the top of the bodily world approaches, earth’s darkest religious hour additionally arrives. However God has a shock deliberate on this darkish hour. Look down with me on the phrases of Rev. 7:9. Since it’s already written down, and he can learn, Devil is aware of that God has plans to avoid wasting: “a terrific multitude which nobody may quantity, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing earlier than the throne and earlier than the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches of their arms…” (Revelation 7:9).
God Plans to Save Many Individuals Throughout the Tribulation. Devil has seen God’s Phrase. Devil is aware of God’s plan, so, attempting to thwart God’s harvest of treasured souls and to forestall the world from coming to Christ, Devil has deployed legions of liars. False signposts—all pointing individuals away from Christ. This isn’t new to our technology. False academics have been part of the panorama from the beginning. Christ, alternatively, got here to supply an considerable life. You probably have by no means trusted Christ as your Savior, I’d urge you to obtain him at the moment. God says that whoever calls upon the Identify of the Lord, He’ll save. While you name upon Christ to avoid wasting you out of your sins, God delivers you from the facility of darkness and their eternally damnable lies, and brings you into the great kingdom of His Son.” from the video introduction
