“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” (2 Thess:2:3)
The subject of the last days inevitably raises the question of the signs which mark this climactic period of history-a period which includes the Rapture of the church to heaven, the Second Coming of Christ with His saints in power and glory to rescue Israel and to destroy Antichrist, followed by His thousand-year millennial reign from Jerusalem on the throne of His father David. One immediately recalls the “signs” given by Christ in His Olivet Discourse, which have been widely publicized in sermons, books, and videos: “…wars and rumours; of wars … nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes … these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:6-8).
There is no denying that these specific “sorrows” have been both prominent and accelerating since Israel, in 1948, became a nation in possession of the land of her fathers again, in fulfillment of the specific promises God made to His ancient people through His prophets more than 2000 years ago. Since that remarkable “Budding of the fig Tree” the rebirth of the nation, Israel, the intensity and frequency of these signs has increased like the birthpangs of a woman approaching her time of delivery, exactly as Christ foretold. There has, however, been such emphasis upon these oft-mentioned signs of the nearness of Christ’s return that the first words of Christ’s response have been largely overlooked and His solemn warning neglected: “And Jesus answered and said … Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many ….” (Matthew 24:4,5).
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many ….” (verse 11). “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (verse 24). [Emphasis added.]
It is essential to note that the very first sign (and thus the most important one) Jesus gave in response to His disciples’ query was religious deception: “take heed that no man deceive you.” It is significant, too, that His revelation of this primary sign was phrased as a warning: “take heed,” or beware. He repeated this sign two more times for emphasis and explained the nature of the coming deception: it would involve false Christs, false prophets, and false signs and wonders. Moreover, His repetition of the word “many” four times indicates that this deception will not be hidden in a corner but will be a worldwide delusion deceiving multitudes.
A Solemn Warning for the Last Days
Paul uses similar language and issues a similar warning in refer ring to the last days: “Let no man deceive you by any means” A time of deception is coming, says Paul, so take care. But in echoing Christ’s warning about apostasy, Paul provides an added insight. The Great lie reveals that the spiritual deception to which Christ referred, though it will of course involve rank unbelievers following false Christs and false prophets, will and has infected the professing church, it will involve a great “falling away,” or apostasy: “for that day [of the Lord] shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin [Antichrist] be revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
While a true and Faithful Christian cannot fall away, a false, counterfeit or pseudo Christian can. Fall away from what? From the faith in Christ which he or she has outwardly professed but without inward reality. These apostates, however, will not leave the church and announce themselves as atheists. They will not convert to Buddhism or Hinduism. While there are always some exceptions, it is important to understand that the apostasy doesn’t always represent a massive defection to other religions from the true Christianity but a turning away from the truth within the professing church.
Christ warns us in Matthew 24 not to be deceived by false Christs and false prophets and lying signs and wonders. Paul repeats the warning, but with an added dimension: “to beware of being deceived into thinking that the apostasy won’t come.” It will. It must. Surely Paul would not speak in this manner unless in the last days the popular view would be to reject the idea of apostasy within the church. The grave danger will be that of following false prophets who, with their signs and wonders, will seem to back up their false teaching that revival, not apostasy, is the order of the day. Paul therefore says, “Don’t let anyone deceive you with sweet talk about revival: the apostasy must come or the day of the Lord cannot begin.”
A False “Signs and Wonders” Movement
That fact becomes clearer when we refer to other passages of Scripture. Christ’s statement about false signs and wonders is clarified as we are given further insights into the nature of the apostasy. False signs and wonders will be an integral part of the apostasy. The departure from the truth will be spearheaded by apparent miracle workers and the delusion will be made possible by a prevailing emphasis upon emotional experience over doctrine. Paul says, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3).
And Christ declares: “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” (Matthew 7:22, 23).
These apostates of whom Christ speaks did not lose their salvation, they were never “saved” to begin with (“I never knew you”). Yet they outwardly appeared to be high-profile Christian leaders apparently performing miraculous signs and wonders in the name of Christ. They didn’t leave the church to become atheists or to join some non-Christian religion. They remained in the church. They even called Jesus Lord-but without really knowing Him. Tragically, they seemed to think that their ability to prophesy and to perform wonders proved that they belonged to Him. Clearly, doctrine is out and emotional experience is in; and the signs and wonders are so impressive that doctrine no longer matters.
Surely these of whom Christ speaks in Matthew 7 must be the same “false Christs and false prophets” to whom He refers in Matthew 24. It is certainly sobering that the signs and wonders these false professors are able to perform are apparently so impressive that even the very elect might be deceived by them were they not given discernment by the True Holy Spirit. We can only conclude that something more deceptive than mere trickery is involved. These wonderworkers are backed by the power of Satan, whom they unwittingly serve in the name of the Lord.
Paul indicates as much when he gives us further insight into this great sign of the last days. After a solemn warning that in the last days “perilous [extremely dangerous] times shall come,” Paul makes this remarkable statement: “Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these [apostates] also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith” (2 Timothy 3:8).
Jannes and Jambres weren’t skeptics or atheists, they were the magicians in Pharaoh’s court who, through the power of Satan, duplicated (up to a point) the miracles God did through Moses and Aaron. Paul is telling us clearly that the last days opposition to the truth will not come so much from atheists on the outside of the church (though they are always there) but from those within who are reprobate concerning the faith, depraved men who corrupt the truth. And they do so by performing apparent miracles in Christ’s name which (when more than mere trickery) are actually by the power of Satan. In that way they deceive and lead many astray not out of the church, but into false doctrine and thus a false hope within the church. Satan has no more effective tactic to damn souls!
An Inside Job!
Other Scriptures confirm those above. Jude, for instance, said that we must “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Contend against whom? Not primarily against godless enemies outside the church but against those within: “For there are certain men crept in unawares” (verse 4). Crept in where? Obviously, inside the church. That is where the problem lies in the last days.
Paul confirms Jude. Addressing the Ephesian elders, Paul said, “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them” (Acts 20:29-30). The spiritual deception of which Christ warned would be rampant within the church. Some of those very Ephesian elders whom Paul had hand-picked, trained, and ordained would turn out to be apostates and hear Christ’s damning words, “Depart from me!”
In confirmation of all of the above, Christ warned His disciples that “the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service” (John 16:2). This is a most remarkable prophecy. Obviously Christ is not referring to persecution by atheists. He did not have in mind the slaughter of the true and faithful Christians by the Caesars or by Mao or Stalin or Hitler, for they did not believe they were serving God thereby. Of course, when the Jews killed the early Christians, they thought they were serving God; and so did the Roman Catholics when they slaughtered millions of the true and faithful Christians before and after the Reformation-, and so did the Muslims when they killed Christians. But none of these killings was the complete fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy.
That word “whosoever” is the key. Neither the pharisees nor the popes were alone in killing the True and Faithful Christians. Others were pursuing them to the death at the same time. But Christ is saying that a time is coming when whosoever, in other words, everyone who kills True and Faithful Christians will think he is serving God. That can only mean that a one world religion to which everyone must belong is coming, a religion that will seek to exterminate all the true and faithful Christians in the name of God.
John saw the same scene in the future: “And it was given unto him [Antichrist] to make war with the saints, and to overcome them…. And I beheld another beast … he exerciseth all the power of the first beast … and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast…. And he had power to … cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed”(Revelation 13:7-15).
Not Revival, But Apostasy
Even more solemn is an added dimension to Paul’s declaration concerning the coming apostasy. Whereas Christ warned of deception, Paul said it is essential: “for that day [of the Lord] shall not come except there come a falling away [apostasy] first.” This statement, as we have noted, is preceded by the strange warning, “Let no man deceive you ……”
Clearly Paul, by the leading of the True Holy Spirit, anticipated the very delusion we find in our day: the rejection of the biblical teaching concerning apostasy and the insistence that we are in the midst of or at least are building up to the “greatest revival in the history of the church.” Such is the prevailing teaching today among charismatics and even noncharismatics. The promise of revival will be a deception, he warns, so beware. Instead of a great revival in the last days directly preceding … there will be a great apostasy—a Great Falling Away from the True faith.
Christ refers again to this falling away more subtly when He raises the question, “When the Son of man cometh, shall he find [the] faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8) While the definite article is not included in most translations, it is obviously implied here and is found in other exhortations, such as in Jude.
Christ is not referring to just any “faith” but to “the faith which was once [for all] delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3) and for which we are to “earnestly contend.” This is the faith from which great numbers (seemingly a great multidude, the vast majority) will fall away.
One of the greatest contributors to the falling away we are seeing today is the false view of faith promoted by the so-called “faith teachers” of the “faith movement,” also known as the “positive confession movement.” They promote a “faith” largely devoid of moral and doctrinal content and which promises that whatever one truly believes and confesses with one’s lips will come to pass. This self-centered heresy is deadly.
Today’s False “Faith”
That we must earnestly contend for the faith against those who have crept into the church implies that the battle is not so much faith against no faith, but rather true faith against false faith. And that is precisely what we see today. Even the world is into “faith” and “spirituality.” Articles in leading medical journals cite studies showing that those who have any “religious faith” are more likely to recover from illness. Christianity Today recently ran a major article naively promoting these studies as though they were supportive of the truth.’
Multitudes of professing Christians imagine that faith is believing that what they are praying for will occur, and that if they truly believe, they will have whatever they ask. Obviously, if things happen because one believes they will happen, then one does not need God. This is mind power, not“faith in God” as Christ taught. It is faith in faith, which Kenneth Hagin teaches, calling it “the law of faith.”
This delusion comes from Eastern mysticism and is found not only in all the Mind Science cults(Science of Mind, Christian Science, Unity, et al.) but in the Positive Thinking of Norman Vincent Peale, the Possibility Thinking of Robert Schuller, and in the Positive Confession teaching of Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Frederick Price, David Yonggi Cho, and others.
No one expressed it more clearly than Ernest Holmes, founder of the Church of Religious Science:“Man, by thinking, can bring into his experience whatsoever he desires… [i.e., as little gods we each create our own world]. We are co-partners with the Infinite … a Universal Creative Mind which receives the impress of our thought and acts upon it.”
Norman Vincent Peale borrowed the phrase “Positive Thinking” from Charles Fillmore (founder of Unity) and credited Ernest Holmes with making him into a positive thinker.’ Said Peale, “Positive thinking is just another term for faith.”‘ On the contrary, atheists can be positive thinkers. Peale claimed that man’s empowerment could be realized by visualizing God as “energy” (“God is energy,” said Peale) and inhaling this energy and visualizing it permeate one’s being.’
If faith in faith or in some “higher power” is all one needs, as Alcoholics Anonymous and the various Twelve-Step Programs in churches teach (there are over 500 participants a week in Bill Hybel’s Willow Creek Community Church’) then there is no true faith. “God” is no more than a placebo that triggers some inner power to heal. Indeed, Peale declared that in prayer we commune not with the God who created us but with “the great factor within oneself, the deep subconscious mind.”
The Major Sign is Here Today
Differing insights into last days apostasy are given throughout the Bible. A major factor accompanying the departure from the faith will be “giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1). Through the occult teaching that one can visualize Jesus and carry on a conversation with Him, a legion of seducing spirits has been loosed in the church. Richard Foster tells us that through visualization “Jesus Christ will actually come to you.” ” Calvin Miller, in an Inter Varsity book, teaches the same,” as do the inner peace healers and many Christian psychologists. Of course, it is not Jesus they see and converse with, but a demon masquerading as“Jesus.” Yet even when the deception ought to be obvious, leading Christians embrace and promote it.
Paul presents yet another characteristic of the apostasy: “For men shall be lovers of their own selves” (2 Timothy 3:2). This false teaching is rampant in the church today through Christian psychology. It came from a godless psychologist named Erich Fromm who called “belief in God … a childish illusion.”” He claimed that when Christ said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” He meant that we must learn to love ourselves before we can love our neighbors or God. In fact, the church had always interpreted that verse to mean that we love ourselves too much and need to give some of that love to our neighbors, not that we don’t love ourselves enough.
Robert Schuller promoted that false view in his book, Self-Love, the Dynamic Force of Success. From there the lie spread throughout the church. The exploding new men’s cult movement, Promise Keepers, has been foremost in promoting this and other delusions of Christian psychology.
A newsletter stated: “Many Christian single men have fought the battle to build their own self- worth, self-esteem, and self-love. They have learned that it is impossible to have a healthy relationship with others while having an unhealthy relationship with one’s self. Jesus recognized this when He challenged us to “love our neighbor as we would love ourself” (Mark 12:31).
Yes, some people say, “I hate myself!” How do we reconcile that statement, earnestly uttered, with the biblical declaration, “No man ever yet hated his own flesh” (Ephesians 5:29)? What that person actually hates may be his appearance, clothes, job, salary, the way people look down upon or mistreat him, etc. But he doesn’t hate himself. If he did, he would be glad he was homely, had poor clothes, low income, and was abused by others. The fact that he complains about these things proves that he loves himself, exactly as the Bible says. He needs to give some of that love to his neighbor, not learn to love himself more.
It was surely not a “negative self-image” that was Lucifer’s downfall but a very “positive” one. More than 200 years ago, William Law expressed what Christians had always understood: “Self-love, self-esteem, and self-seeking are the essence and the life of pride; and the Devil, the father of pride, is never absent from these passions, nor without an influence in them ……”
How is such a departure from the faith possible, and how can it gather momentum in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ under the umbrella of revival and a great prayer and fasting movement? Simply because, at the heart of the apostasy is a rejection of the primacy of sound doctrine: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3). And here again this day is upon us with a vengeance, as we will now document.
A False “Church Growth/Signs and Wonders” Movement
Yes, the Bible definitely predicts a last-days signs and wonders movement. That is clear from the verses to which we have referred. However, Scripture tells us that this signs and wonders movement will not be of God but of Satan. It will be a delusion that will deceive many. The topic on everyone’s lips and mind today is revival. It comes as a shock to many to learn that the word revival does not occur even once in the entire King James Bible. The hope of revival that excites so many today is not even a biblical concept. 
NOW a great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain of giving birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon having seven diadems on his head.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.
And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born.
She bore a male child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up to God and his throne.
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepareed by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought.
But they did not prevail nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
So the great drangon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satin, who deceives THE WORLD: HE WAS CAST TO EARTH AND HIS ANGELS WERE CASTED WITH HIM.
