Over and over-- at least eight times from the pen of the apostle Paul-- the Scriptures warn us not to be deceived. In II Timothy 3:13, Paul writes "but evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." Deception today is coming in many different forms. The emergent church movement, which on the surface may sound enlightening to the untaught, is actually blatant in its unscriptural approach, and a subtle movement taking the church back under the pope.
Furthermore, there is the constant attack on the veracity of the word of God-- some blatant and some more subtle. I recently read an article that was ridiculing the idea of taking the Bible literally. That began of course with Origen, who among other heresies, promoted taking Scripture figuratively. He was the one to introduce replacement theology and it permeated the vast majority of Christendom-- both Catholic and Protestant. That deception has carried on for nearly 2000 years. Consequently, almost no knowledge of the end time prophecy is in many of our churches today. If Israel disappeared shortly after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, as Origen taught, then naturally no prophecy can be fulfilled because the heart of prophecy is Israel. What a deception! Further deception is destroying the glorious gospel of grace by bringing all the various works religions onto center stage. But the more deception we see, the closer we are to the Lord's shout and trumpet. Remember the word trumpet is singular in Paul's letters-- not plural as in the book of Revelation. The rapture too is coming more and more into the gun sights of the deceivers. Very few pastors and preachers ever mention it and it is being ridiculed far more than encouraged. But as Paul wrote in II Thessalonians 2:3, "let no man deceive you." Stay with the truth of Scripture. II Peter 3:15-16. "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction".
