People will claim His name but deny the Cross
Could Jesus Christ’s teachings and even feigned belief in Him be used to draw people to the Man of Lawlessness in the end times?
I believe so…
Now, the scripture I present in the article are of course true and I will draw conclusions based on the truth of those scriptures. However, the conclusions I draw are just a possible scenario stemming from my own perspective and opinion.
Also, though I will speak of American politics as an example…this does not mean that America is the be all end all in end times. In fact, I believe Israel is prominent in the years prior to Christ’s return. However, I am using the United States as an example of how the beast system and the man of lawlessness can draw people into the fold.
In speaking of the American political landscape, the evil of the current system is coming more and more out into the open. This will continue to happen leading up to the presidential election in November of 2024. This big government authoritative rule is evidenced by:
- Worldwide lock-downs
- Wars
- Terror attacks
- Pedophilia
- Inflation
- Assassination attempts
- Human trafficking
- Censoring on unprecedented levels
- And on and on…
Many of these evils will be exposed and President Donald Trump is being groomed as being the one to end it all. Politicians and celebrities alike now are touting Trump as the only man that can save America and even the world.
If its not Trump, then sub any world leader or perhaps even the self-human will. They will all play together.
As I have stated before, I believe both the left and the right of the political aisle serve the same masters. So the left will be exposed for this evil only in order to drive people to the right, only to fulfill the same goal. Once the evil of the world is fully exposed, people will flock to the hero’s that have overcome this evil.
These people will talk about ‘the summit of human achievement’ and that we all must turn from this evil and join them in righteousness. They will even talk of Jesus and His teachings as well as belief in God. However, this is the deception that I want to address:
Praising Jesus Christ’s teachings and saying that we should be like Him is something very different than believing in His death for sin, His entombment, and His resurrection as the only way in which we must be saved. How does this play into end time deception?
Because the man of lawlessness can use Jesus’s teachings to lure people into following him while also using teachings from other various religious leaders. However, one cannot believe in Christ’s death for sin, His entombment, and Resurrection as the only way for salvation and at the same time, herald any other teachers from the world’s religions.
Jesus Christ’s teachings did not enter death for humanity, nor did human belief enter death for humanity. Jesus Christ entered death for humanity. There is a big difference.
A few examples to illustrate my point:
- Donald Trump has said that Jesus is more famous than he is and people actually claim that is an admission of belief. Trump speaks positively about Jesus while also embracing the teachings of other religions, especially Judaism.
- Elon Musk is a very influential person and Trump supporter. He was recently asked if he would accept Jesus during an interview. He responded that he believed in Jesus’s teachings of forgiveness, the golden rule, turn the other cheek, etc. This particular video says Elon Musk says ‘yes’ to Jesus…look what he says about Jesus, they tout.
My point is that many people will endorse Jesus like the ‘He gets us’ campaign in showing Jesus as some sort of social justice warrior and a great leader. However, if they do not realize Christ’s death for sin, His entombment, and His resurrection then believing in His teachings will not exclude them from promoting the beast system. In fact, many will be tricked into believing these men are Christ followers.
I’m going to say it again. Just because these leaders put Christ in a positive light, does not mean that they won’t use that to draw you away from Him. How do you draw someone away from Christ?
You draw a person away from Christ by focusing on teaching and human righteous behavior to overcome sin and death. Teachings and human righteousness can be manipulated by people in power. Knowing Christ’s work alone for salvation cannot.
Righteous behavior and belief can be manipulated. For instance:
- In our political situation, the evil that will be exposed is so bad that people will gravitate towards anything that overcomes that evil. Therefore, there is a real danger of people following this new righteousness at any cost for fear of being associated with the previous evil. This is exactly what happens in scripture when people believe that it’s their own behavior and not Christ’s death for sin that saves them.
End time rulers can deceive the masses by saying people must adhere to this ‘Human righteousness’ that overcame the great evil. If not, you are endorsing the old, obviously evil system. They will say things like this is the ‘summit of human achievement.’ You must behave this way. It will start out good but will turn quickly.
- Even belief in Jesus Christ can be manipulated to get people into the beast system. People, including leaders, can claim to believe in Jesus Christ, accept His teaching, and praise Him while denying that its Christ’s death for sin, His entombment, and resurrection that saves humanity. Even the religion of Christianity denies Christ’s complete work on the cross. They claim its their ‘free will faith’ and ‘behavior’ that saves them. This can be used by end-time spiritual leaders that define what you must ‘believe’ and how you must ‘behave.’ This is what religion does. There can be no deception with a person that believes Christ alone accomplished salvation. This cannot be manipulated by humans because humans do nothing to achieve it. It is 100% God’s work through Christ Jesus.
Conclusion:
Nobody, including Christian warriors that praise Jesus, will save the world before Jesus Christ Himself touches His two feet on this earth. Scripture says that the world will be in the worst shape its ever been prior to Christ’s return. So, any political movement to replace the current cabal will be the next evil that Jesus will replace. There will be no saving of this world until Jesus returns, so those claiming they will save the world prior to this, will not succeed.
The main point I want to make is that many people will use the name of Jesus Christ while denying that He will come in the flesh to set up His kingdom.
7 for many deceivers came out into the world, who are not avowing Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. -2 John 1:7
Some people will promote Christ’s teachings and His life as part of a greater cause to save humanity while denying that its through Christ’s death for sin, His entombment, and His resurrection that the world will be saved.
Beware of those that herald Christ without heralding the salvation that His work on the cross alone brings. Beware of those that claim to turn the other cheek but deny the death of Christ. You will not be deceived if the human is out of the equation and you rely on Christ alone for salvation.
Grace and peace to you all.
