Mark 13:6; 21-22 Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and
will deceive many.
Why does Paul talk about FALSE TEACHERS & PREACHERS in almost
every Epistle?
How is one to identify the AntiChrist, when he arrives? Will we
focus on the similarities between him and the Real Christ?
False teachers always add some truth how else can they fool
others, an Orange dollar bill is not going to fool anyone. An Orange
dollar bill may be identical in EVERY other point, but it is still a
phony. To focus on the similarites is to miss the point, it is in the
differences that we identify the phony!
When AntiChrist comes he will focus on his similarities, he will
produce miracles (same) he will come back from a lethal head wound
(same) he will have spiritual power (same), he will not focus on the
differences. false teachers mix truth with a little bit of error. The
devil never shows up in a red suit he comes as a Preacher of
righteousness, in sheeps clothing Matthew 7:15-23, but a phony
none the less. We can identify him and other falsehoods by the Word of
God & by comparisons with the Truths revealed in that word.
"To the law and to the testimony: if
they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light
in them" Isa. 8:20
Not by comparing his sheepskin to a real sheepskin. We must look
below the surface and there we will find the hidden wolve come to
destroy! The comparison that will identify him is not what similarities
or truths we can find but ANY errors or untruth we can identify. It
only takes ONE error to make a phony dollar same with a false teacher
or false christ. ONE ERROR makes a False prophet!
We are told in the scriptures to "prove
all things" be a wise berean! 1 Thessalonians 5:21
2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works.''
