Having explained what deception is in our previous article and how the devil deceived Eve by his lie and addition to God's Word. Devil has a plan even before coming to Eve, he want to plant his own seeds among the seed of God, there by corrupting the whole race. Satan knew he has been defeated already both in heaven and on earth, that only the bottomless pit and lake of fire awaits him. But, he will never want to go their alone. He has to deceive and win souls that will believe his lies and be punished with him in the lake of fire. Hell fire is not the real place.
Now, devil first plant his own seed among the woman race, by planting Cain in Eve.... Cain is the seed of the Serpent i.e the devil, the wicked one. Thats how the bible put it... You can read and meditate on these scriptures.
Jesus himself justify this with a parable in the book of matthew, Matt. 13:24-30,36-43. You have to go and read that parable. The summary of it is how Jesus Christ, the Almighty God created good men and devil sowed among them evil men. But Jeus told his angels not to destroy the evil men now, let them grow together and at the harvest, which the judgement, he will do the separation. Meaning that the sons and agents of the devil will thrive along woth the true sons of God that we will not be able to know the difference.
The question now is how will the Devil continue to accomplish his plan before this harvest time. This is where we are going. He can only keep accomplishing his plan by using some agents. These agents are the false prophets. There are uncountable scriptures that talks and warn us on the emergence of false prophets.and christs in the last days, which is our days.
Many christians lives as if this prophecies and warnings is a joke. They don't care to understand how to discover these false prophets as long as they are comfortable at the church they are. But the scriptures told us to watch and pray and test all spirits to know if they are of God.
The aim and objective of this series is to explain with the scriptures, who the false prophets are, their mission and purpose, their cunningness like their master and how to know them....
Before i go deeply into this topic, let us first see what the Scriptures say about it....
Luke 21:8 King James Version (KJV)
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Mark 13:22 KJV
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Matthew 24:4-5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU; For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and SHALL DECEIVE MANY. And MANY FALSE PROPHETSY shall rise, and shall DECEIVE MANY.
Matthew 24:23-25 KJV
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 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. Behold, I have told you before.
1 John 4:1-6
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than the he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who
knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
2 Peter 2:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
1 John 2:18-19
18 Little children, ait is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, ceven now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for f if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out gthat they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
2 John 7-9
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world h who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and m does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
Jeremiah 14:13-15
13 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. 14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say , Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
