Don't Be Deceived By The Imitator
Get Saved Right Now Before The Deception
This bible study is a warning to everyone about the strong delusion and deception soon coming to this earth to damn souls to hell and the lake of fire forever. This strong delusion is described at 2 Thessalonians 2:8 saying And then shall that Wicked (Beast Antichrist) be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Escape the seven year tribulation
Get saved with the Lord Jesus
Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,
Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel
That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again
Note Vance Havner's warning above that satan is not fighting churches; he is joining them. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition. The devil is the greatest imitator of our Lord Jesus. We need to be aware of this because 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns us And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. But when you are saved with the Lord Jesus you can recognize the counterfeit devil. This bible study will explain how the devil imitates the Lord Jesus so people are not ignorant of the devil's devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11 says Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The Two White Horse Riders In The Book Of Revelation
The Revelation 6:2 White Horse Rider Is The Beast Antichrist
The Revelation 19:11 White Horse Rider Is The Lord Jesus
The beast antichrist is going to deceive billions of lost sinners during the tribulation and will be the first white horse rider appearing at Revelation 6:2. People will think that this first antichrist white horse rider is the Lord Jesus and be deceived. The antichrist will be the first strong delusion appearance during the tribulation after the church is raptured. These lost sinners that rejected the Lord Jesus after the rapture occurs will receive this strong delusion and be damned. John said at Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he (the beast antichrist) that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
This first white horse rider (antichrist) is an imitation of the true second white horse rider (Jesus) noted at Revelation 19:11 that says And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. This first white horse rider Antichrist has war, famine, death, and hell follow him represented by red, black, and pale horses (Revelation 6:3-8). The second white horse rider Jesus has peace and a blessed millennium follow Him.
Now note that the antichrist has a bow with no arrows and one dinky crown who will bring a false peace to this world. Daniel 8:25 describes this false peace from the antichrist that will destroy many saying And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many (note that the antichrist will use peace to destroy many): he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Jesus); but he shall be broken without hand. It's truly amazing that most people in the world reject the God that became a man (Jesus) but they will accept the man who will claim to be God (the antichrist).
But the Lord Jesus has a sharp sword coming out of his mouth with many crowns instead of only one dinky crown and a bow with no arrows. The antichrist is only a fake powerless imitation that will be destroyed by our Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus is all powerful and with a sharp sword coming out of his mouth that will smite the nations where the Lord Jesus will rule them with a rod of iron. Revelation 19:15 says And out of His (Jesus') mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Now rejoice when you read what the Lord Jesus will do to the fake imitator beast antichrist and the false prophet stated at Revelation 19:20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Notice The Deception
The Beast Antichrist White Horse Rider Uses Two Fingers To Draw The Bow
The Pope Wore A Crown With The Title Vicarius Filii Dei
Whenever you see a picture of Jesus holding up two fingers like the pope beware and don't be deceived by the imitator antichrist. This antichrist fake white horse rider will use two fingers to draw the bow and destroy many after a false peace. Winston Churchill pictured above said that two fingers raised doesn't mean V for victory. Instead it means unconditional surrender. Now I'm not saying all Catholics are lost and not saved. There are many Catholics that are truly saved and believe Jesus is God and the gospel. But the pope is someone to beware of.
Now the bible tells us how to recognize the antichrist at Revelation 13:18 that says Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666). Next note the inscription on the pope's crown that was worn for 500 years called Vicarius Filii Dei. In the picture above if you add up the Roman numerals in the title Vicarius Filii Dei it adds up to 666. Therefore many people say that the antichrist will be a future pope in Rome, Italy at the Vatican whose number on his crown is 666. And isn't it also interesting that there are 6 Roman numeral letters under 1000 (D-500, C-100, L-50, X-10, V-5, and I-1) and when you add up these 6 numbers lo and behold you get 666 (500+100+50+10+5+1=666).
Vicarius Filii Dei means Vicar of the Son of God. This was a formal Latin title of the leading man of the Papal system. A vicar is a member of the Episcopal clergy or laity who has charge of a mission or chapel. Jesus spoke about this future pope antichrist at Revelation 2:15 when he mentioned the Nicolaitans. When the future antichrist pope rules like a Nicolaitan, he will be a conqueror having victory over the laity people. Niko means Victory over and Lai means the people. Jesus said he hated the doctrine of the Nicolaitans at Revelation 2:15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
The pope and the Catholic leaders represent the Nicolaitans of modern times. Jesus hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitans and the modern traditions of the Catholic church. Throughout history the leaders of the Catholic church and the pope did not allow the common people and the farmers have access to the bible. The pope and the leaders of the Catholic church were the Nicolaitans that Jesus hated. I don't hate Catholics. I believe many Catholics today are saved and are good people but I hate the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Most Catholics are ignorant of the doctrines taught by the Catholic leaders.
John Wycliffe rebelled against the pope and wrote the first English bible for the common people. During a period when access to the bible was restricted by Catholic leaders, those caught reading it faced severe penalties, potentially even the forfeiture of their property. It is said that the price some people paid for the privilege of renting a Wycliffe bible for an hour of daily reading was a bale of hay (a significant payment for a farmer living near subsistence levels). After John Wycliffe died, the pope burned his bones and cast them into the river.
Then William Tyndale became a blessed missionary and gave Wycliffe's English bible to thousands of common people in Europe. The pope tracked down William Tyndale and burned Tyndale at the stake. The last words of William Tyndale were "Lord open the king of England's eyes." Within a year afterwards, a bible was placed in every parish church by the king's command. The Catholic leaders wanted the common people to be ignorant about the bible in order to control the people and their money. This happened during the church of Thyatira where there was continual sacrifice to the pope and Mary by the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages that lasted for 1000 years from 500 AD to 1500 AD.
Now also note the following warning given by Jesus at Matthew 24:5 about the future antichrist. Jesus said For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And Jesus said at Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. It's wrong to worship a pope or a priest and call them father. Instead we all need to worship and focus on the Lord Jesus. I'm just writing this to make people aware of the soon coming deception. But Brother Bob says to look for the Lord Jesus Christ (the blessed hope in the air coming to rapture the church up to heaven) and not the antichrist.
If you're saved, you won't be on earth to see the antichrist. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 says For the mystery of iniquity doth already work (the antichrist): only he who now letteth will let (Holy Ghost in christians holding back the appearance of the antichrist), until he be taken out of the way (christians raptured out of this world). And then shall that Wicked be revealed (the beast antichrist can not be revealed until the christians are raptured out of this world), whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. Christians will be caught up to be with the Lord Jesus on the honeymoon before the marriage of the bride church to our Lord Jesus. But maybe someone left on this earth after the rapture can read this bible study and escape the damnation from the antichrist.
Now also note that this future pope antichrist wears a mitre crown hat that resembles the open mouth of a fish pictured above. This same mitre hat with a fish's mouth was worn in Babylon by Dagon priests that worshipped the fish god of pagans called Dagan. This future pope antichrist represents a false imitation that worships the devil at Mystery Babylon (the Vatican in Rome, Italy). This future pope antichrist has the same sun cross that appeared on Babylonian idols used to worship the devil.
Listed Below Are The Many Ways The devil Imitates the Lord Jesus
This Is Why You Need To Daily Study The Word of God
So You Are Not Deceived By The Imitator devil
Note the following list of the many ways that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus. Remember don't be deceived by the imitator devil.
1) Jesus has a city called the New Jerusalem where the bride is called the church. The devil also has a city called Mystery Babylon that is Rome, Italy at the Vatican where the bride is called the great whore.
2) The bride church called New Jerusalem will sit on the foundation called the Lord Jesus. The great whore apostate false church called Mystery Babylon Vatican Rome, Italy will sit on the beast antichrist.
3) Revelation 1:8 says Jesus is, and was, and is to come. Revelation 17:8 says the antichrist was, and is not, and yet is.
4) Jesus is called the Christ (Anointed Messiah). The devil is also called the anointed cherub that covereth at Ezekiel 28:14.
5) You have the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. The devil imitates with the devil, the beast, and the false prophet.
6) Jesus came from the tribe of Judah that means praise. The meaning of the name Judas who is the spirit of the antichrist that betrayed Jesus is also praise. Jesus is God in the flesh. Judas Iscariot is the devil in the flesh.
7) Jesus told the devil three times in the wilderness It is written. The devil also said It is written but misquoted Psalm 91:11. Every day say Psalm 91:11 For He (the Lord Jesus) shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. If the devil took time to misquote Psalm 91:11, every day say Psalm 91:11 to defeat satan. The devil's misquote at Matthew 4:6 says He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. The devil imitates Jesus by adding or removing words from God's true Word. Therefore only read the true 1611 KJV bible instead of any translated bible that alters, removes, or adds words to God's 1611 KJV true bible.
8) 2 Corinthians 11:14 says And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. But Jesus is the true light. Jesus said at John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jesus is God and is the light that dwells in thick darkness. According to 2 Chronicles 6:1 Then said Solomon, The Lord (Jesus with His everlasting light) hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. The devil is just a little a angel of light. Jesus is a capital A Angel of the Lord.
9) Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah lifted up on a cross that represented the cursed serpent on the pole that Moses lifted up that healed people after a look of faith. The devil also appears like a roaring lion that tried unsuccessfully to lift himself up as a serpent.
10) The Lord Jesus comes down from heaven above to be the king of this earth for 1000 years. The beast antichrist ascends up out of the bottomless pit to be destroyed by the Lord Jesus in the lake of fire.
11) Jesus had His ministry on this earth for 3 1/2 years. During the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation, the beast antichrist will rule with a false peace like a pope from the Vatican in Rome, Italy. During the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation, the beast antichrist will change his headquarters to Jerusalem, Israel, desecrate the third Jewish temple with the abomination of desolation image of the beast, and conquer the world before the Lord Jesus casts him and the false prophet into the lake of fire.
12) Finally, the devil imitates the the true KJV 1611 Word Jesus with many false new translated bibles. Notice that Ephesians 5:1 in the KJV bible says Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children. But the false deceptive Revised Standard Version bible misquotes Ephesians 5:1 saying Therefore be imitators of God, as dear children. Remember an imitator is a counterfeit devil and not the real thing. Don't be an imitator of God. Be a follower of God.
After reading all the ways that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus, take heed to the following warning. The devil wants to erase distinctions so that everything is an imitation counterfeit that can not be spotted. But I got news for the antichrist. The Lord Jesus is going to spot the antichrist and destroy him in the lake of fire because the antichrist is a leopard that can not hide his spots (X marks the spot). Revelation 13:2 describes the beast antichrist saying And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Note the following words that end in x and relate to the beast antichrist who will be spotted as a leopard and cast into the lake of fire (X marks the spot). The antichrist is a vex, hoax, hex, jinx, lux (fake light), rex (fake king), pax romana (false peace from Rome), six six six, lynx (leopard) and felix (leopard cat in latin). And remember how Judas Iscariot who is the spirit of the antichrist betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Well today when people sign letters love and kisses, they sign the letters with xxx. Finally one must ask Why did the tiger for Esso change to the tiger for Exxon?
The Beast Antichrist Has The Spirit Of Judas Iscariot
Revelation 17:8 describes the beast antichrist saying The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Now this scripture says that the antichrist was on this earth. The antichrist was, and is not, and yet is. When John wrote this scripture Judas Iscariot was (existed before John wrote Revelation on the isle of Patmos), is not (Judas had died and is not when John wrote Revelation), and yet is (the spirit of Judas will return when the beast antichrist ascends out of the bottomless pit during the seven year tribulation).
The bible tells us that the antichrist is the Son of Perdition. Perdition means destruction. Only two scriptures in the bible speak about the Son of Perdition. Jesus called Judas Iscariot the Son of Perdition at John 17:12 that says While I was with them in the world, I kept them in my name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition (Judas Iscariot); that the scripture might be fulfilled. And 2 Thessalonians 2:3 says that the antichrist who has the spirit of Judas Iscariot is the Son of Perdition. 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.
The number 13 represents rebellion. Note the many times that Judas Iscariot represents rebellion and the number 13. Judas Iscariot who rebelled and betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver has exactly 13 letters in his name. And isn't it amazing that Jesus spake exactly 13 words about Judas Isacariot at John 6:70 that says "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil. And then look at the fact that Jesus spoke thirteen words about Judas Iscariot at John 6:70 (6+7+0=13). John 6:71 says He spake of Judas Iscariot the Son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. And this bible verse says one and twelve that equals 13.
Jesus identified the traitor Judas Isacariot with the sop at the Last Supper (calling Judas the SOP Son of Perdition) at John 13:26 (13x2=26); Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
Now take a look at the meaning of Judas Iscariot. Iscariot means Ish a man from Kerioth (a city in Moab). Jeremiah 48:24 tells us that the city of Kerioth is in Moab saying And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. And Amos 2:2 tells us what will eventually happen to Kerioth and the antichrist with the spirit of Judas Iscariot saying But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet (the antichrist with the spirit of Judas Iscariot and the false prophet will burn alive forever in the lake of fire).
Now since Judas Iscariot came from Kerioth in Moab that today is Syria, note that Judas was the only disciple chosen outside of the land of Israel. Judas truly was a devil and Jesus said Judas is the Son of Perdition destined for destruction. Now again we see another imitation by the devil of Jesus. Jesus has many blessed names like Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, and Prince Of Peace. But the antichrist also has many names. Notice the names Abaddon and Apollyon at Revelation 9:11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Abaddon is defined as destruction and Apollyon is defined as destroyer. And isn't it amazing that the word Perdition also means destruction. Therefore this angel of the bottomless pit is the antichrist Son of Perdition with the spirit of Judas Iscariot who also has a name called Abaddon and Apollyon. Currently Judas Isacariot is not in hell. The spirit of Judas Iscariot went to his own place called the bottomless pit and is the Son of perdition Abaddon Apollyon beast antichrist who will rise out of the bottomless pit and become the beast antichrist during the middle of the seven year tribulation. Acts 1:25 says That he (Matthias) may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
The prophet Jeremiah spoke about the antichrist's destruction and how the spirit of Judas Iscariot would be destroyed at Kerioth. Jeremiah 48:41 says Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. In other words the shock of the antichrist will be as a woman in pangs when Jesus casts the beast antichrist and the false prophet alive into the lake of fire.
Now when Jesus returns in the air during the rapture, the trumpet bugle will sound and when the christians get caught up to the clouds, the angels will proclaim They're off. Then Jesus will call His saved christians by name. The Lord Jesus will say Come up hither and the christians will be gone from this earth in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. And after the christians get caught up to be with the Lord Jesus in the air, the pope antichrist will come up like a UFO from the bottomless pit to rule in Rome and Jerusalem. This beast antichrist will probably be a gorgeous man admired by the entire world. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will not be on this earth during the tribulation to view this strong delusion called the beast antichrist.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
