Matt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matt 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Matt 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible.
Luke 6:26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.
Romans 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world
Rev 16:13 Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Rev 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Notice the repetition of the false prophet and the warnings about the false prophet. When I think of doctrines like the purpose driven movement but also anything from the charismatic movement, it boggles me how low Satan has gotten. The movements I've named are all about making the people feel good, not about sharing the gospel. Let me tell you, Satan copies everything that God does. Just like God is a trinity, Satan copies and it's the unholy trinity (Satan - the dragon, Antichrist- the Beast, and the false prophet)
Satan is a fraudster, counterfeit, deceiver, that bad dude. Here is what the scriptures have named him Apolyon, Beelzebub, the dragon, Semihazah, Azazel, Belial, Sammael, the old serpent, devil, Tempter, Evil One, God of This World, Father of Lies, and Prince of Darkness.
Satan - The Dragon ... just like is called by many names, so is Satan (dude is a copy cat) . Satan knows he's destined for hell, so he dispatches his demons to make sure that we who are now believers in Christ fail and probably is anxious to let God know when sin. However, he knows once we're in Christ we are not condemned to hell, so he tries to distract us, especially since he knows we still have the sinful nature in us. Remember the flesh is weak but the Spirit is willing. This is why Gal 5:16 tells us to "be filled with the Holy Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh"
The antichrist aka the beast .... The antichrist is suppose to copy Christ. Those who will be deceive will think that Christ has come back and they will believe the lie and accept the counterfeit. This will be during the tribulation period.
2 Thes 2: 3- 12 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
The false prophet - will be a man of great authority of religion (remember religion is man's attempt to reach God). He will be the best speaker, motivator, have anyone that can be deceive that what he teaches is the best thing since slice bread. The false prophet will also head the one world religion. He is about compromise because he wants to make sure that what he teaches lead people away from the teachings of Christ and also go against the word of God. It will appear from his speech and charismatic energy that he's a Christian as well, but what he will teach will not align what is in the bible. What he teaches will be with great mistakes because it's not true. They will also deny that Christ is the only way to heaven.
Have you ever heard this:
-Those you must be good to get to heaven
-God wouldn't let man go to hell..what type of loving God is that?
-Well God is going to forgive me anyway, so I'm going to do whatever I want.
-He's not going to send me hell because I don't believe.
Ever heard of people that say that "God told me to tell you this or that"? and you find out the hard way that it wasn't true, especially if it wasn't aligned with the scriptures? Satan can speak to us as well. Remember that he copies everything that God does. Why? because Satan comes to steal, kill, and to destroy. But Jesus came so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10). Sometimes, what I think is God speaking is really Satan because I want something so bad that I'm willing to listen to anything at that moment to get my way. Then it's too late because the damage is done and why the damage is done because it wasn't God speak to beginning with. God is not going to go against his word but Satan will glady go against it.
In closing, we must be on our guard as children of God. Always allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into all truths. Pray without ceasing. Studying to show thyself approve. Meditating on the word. But also, going out into the world and teach others the gospel of Christ.
Satan is always working and his army is always on stand by waiting for the final battle.
Watch ye therefore, and pray alwayes, that ye may be accompted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe, and to stand before the sonne of man. (Luke 21:36)
