Hi, my name is John, I pray that you would not only be blessed by this web site but that you would be encouraged to draw closer to God as we see His soon return is so very near. My email is pasted all throughout the web site so feel free to contact me with any comments or questions you may have, I look forward to them.
Before we start our study into 'Exposing Antichrist' I want share some simple Bible truth with you that I think will bless you and set you free to love and worship God. Did you to know that God is all powerful and knows all things? There is no place we can hide from His presence nor is there anything hidden from His sight.
Psalms 139:7-8 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
He sees all our sins and knows all our faults and weaknesses yet He still loves us very much and the deepest desire of His heart is to be our God.
John 3:16-17 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
Did you know that we were created perfect and all the beauty around us was made for our enjoyment?
Do you realize that the only reason God gave us taste buds was so that we can enjoy all the different flavors He created? What a caring and loving God we have.
But even in all this, man turned away from God bringing separation, death and decay to God's perfect creation.
Romans 5:12 Sin came into the world through one man. And, death came into the world through sin. In this way, death spread to all men, because all sinned.
Sin has separated us from God. Because we are separated from the source of perfect love and eternal life we find ourselves doing many ungodly things. But even in all this God still loves us very much.
Romans 5:7-8 It is rare when someone dies for another person, even for a good person. However, someone might dare to die for a good man. But God showed his great love for us by sending His Son to die for us even while we were still sinners.
1 John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
But God, in His great love for us, devised a plan to fix what man has broken. All throughout the Bible we read of God's plan to restore our relationship with Him by forgiving our sins and giving us His Spirit to live inside us.
Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you a new heart--I will give you new and right desires--and put a new spirit within you. I will take out your stony hearts of sin and give you new hearts of love. And I will put my Spirit within you so that you will obey my laws. You shall live in the land I gave your fathers; you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
God demonstrated His great love for us when He sent His Son to die for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed His love to us: God sent His only Son into the world that we may live through him. Real love (God's love for us, not our love for God) is this: God sent His Son to be the way that God takes away our sins.
If we would only receive God's love and forgiveness it would change our lives forever. If we would take time to know Him, as it is our privilege to know Him, He will bless us beyond measure.
2 Corinthians 5:17 So, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Listen, everything has become new.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.
God has a longing desire to fill us with His Spirit and help us to live a life that is full of hope, blessings and joy even when this life brings trouble our way.
Romans 5:5 And, hope never disappoints us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Jeremiah 31:33-34 This is the new covenant I will make you: I will inscribe my laws upon your heart, so that you shall want to honor me; then you shall truly be my people and I will be your God. "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,'' says the Lord. "For I will forgive your iniquity, and your sin I will remember no more.''
Hebrews 8:10 "For this is the new covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,'' says the Lord, "I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. "None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.''
The true Gospel (Good News) message is that God will judge all sin, evil and corruption but He will not condemn those who believe and are obeying the words of Jesus Christ.
Acts 17:30-31 "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, "because He has appointed a Day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man Jesus whom He has ordained.
Romans 2:16 On that Day, God will use this Good News of mine to judge the secret things of men through Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 4:1 In the future, Christ will judge people who are now alive and people who have died. Because of the nearness of His appearance and His kingdom, I warn you before God and Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 4:5 But they must give an answer to God who is ready to judge people who are alive and people who have died.
John 3:17-18 "God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Acts 2:21 But anyone who asks for mercy from the Lord shall have it and shall be saved.'
Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them.''
Hebrews 5:9 After Jesus was proven perfect, He became the Source of eternal salvation for everyone who will obey him.
Romans 8:1 So, there is no condemnation now for those people who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 4:7-8 "Blessed, and to be envied,'' He said, "are those whose sins are forgiven and put out of sight. Yes, what joy there is for anyone whose sins are no longer counted against him by the Lord.''
Even when we do fall into sin there is no act or deed we need to do to have that sin forgiven, just confess it to God in prayer and He is always faithful to forgive us because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:20 It was through what His Son did that God cleared a path for everyone to come to Him--all things in heaven and on earth--for Christ's death on the cross has made peace with God for all by His shed blood.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 2:1-2 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Jesus is the way our sins are taken away--the way all people may have their sins taken away.
The great hope of the Gospel is joy, peace and the blessings of God now and eternal life with Him in His kingdom on an earth made new. The new earth will be a place where there will be no death, sickness, crime or anything that sin has brought into God's creation. It will be just like the beginning when Adam and Eve were with God in the Garden of Eden.
2 Peter 3:13 But we are looking forward to God's promise of new heavens and a new earth afterwards, where there will be only goodness.
Matthew 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Psalms 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
All the promises of God are faithful and true in Jesus Christ. If you have His Son you have eternal life and His promises.
2 Corinthians 1:20 All of God's promises are "yes" in Christ! Through Christ, we glory to God "Amen."
1 John 5:11 This is what God told us: He has given us eternal life. This eternal life is in His Son. The person who has the Son has life, but the person who doesn't have the Son of God does not have life.
It gives our heavenly Father good pleasure to give us His kingdom.
Luke 12:32 "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
God loves us and always will love us. He wants to freely forgive us, change us and write His law in our hearts and minds. He wants to fill us with His Spirit and help us to be ready for the great day of His coming. His plan is to make a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no more sin, death or pain and we will live with Him forever.
2 Peter 3:9-14 The Lord is not slow to keep His promise (as some people think of "slow"). No, He is patient with you. He wants everyone to find room for a change in their hearts. He doesn't want anyone to be lost. The Day of the Lord will come , like a robber. The heavens will pass away with a loud noise. The elements will be destroyed with heat. The earth and every force in it will be gone. In this way, everything will be destroyed. So, what kind of people should you be? You must live holy and godly lives while you are expecting the Day of God to come. You should want it to come sooner. On that Day, the heavens will be destroyed by fire. Because of the heat, the elements will melt. We are expecting new heavens and a new earth, as promised. Righteousness will live there. So, dear , while you are waiting for these things , do your best to be clean and at peace with God.
Revelation 21:3 I heard a loud shout from the throne saying, "Look, the home of God is now among men, and he will live with them and they will be his people; yes, God himself will be among them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that has gone forever.''
God wants us to know His plans and believe in His promises. God promises to make all things new. He wants to take away the sin that destroys the life He has for us. All these promises of God are sure and true.
Revelation 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new.'' And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful.''
God does not want us to be deceived. He has given us so many proofs to help us believe all that He has said and promised. For example, there are over four hundred *prophecies in the Old Testament to help us believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God who was sent by God to save His people from their sin. Prophecies are very important because they not only authenticate the Bible and strengthen our faith in God, but they also help to direct us in what we should believe.
*A prophecy is when God gives His people detailed information before anyone else knows.
But, in all that God is doing to save us and help us believe, there is a very powerful angelic being working against God's plan and who has a jealous hatred of the fact that we can be saved from our sins and have a loving personal relationship with God.
2 Corinthians 4:4 Satan, who is the god of this world, is blinding minds so that they should not believe. They cannot see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God.
Satan knows his days are numbered in that he has a short time to deceive and draw the masses of people away from God.
Revelation 12:12 ...Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time
1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world."
The truth you are about to receive is not a new revelation, but rather, it was once the foundational beliefs of the early church. But through years of subtle deception, fear and persecution Satan has been able to replace much of God's will with pagan beliefs and practices. Satan has led many away through a very rich and powerful system of false worship based on fear, man-made traditions and strong delusion.
Revelation 12:9 So the great Dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one.
Satan distorts the word of God and makes war with those who keep the commandments of God and who have the testimony of Jesus.
Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.''
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
Revelation 12:17 And the Dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Before we begin I want you to know that there may be some things revealed here that might offend you or even shake your faith in what you believe. My intention is not to hurt or discourage you nor is it God's intention. God loves us more than we can understand and His desire for us is that we would know the truth so that we would not be deceived.
John 8:31-32 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.''
I pray that you would take your time as you read through these very powerful truths and feel free to email me with any questions or comments or if you would like information regarding finding a church fellowship in your area.
May God richly bless you as you draw closer to Him in Spirit according to truth and always remember this one thing, we don't obey God as a means to be saved, but rather, we obey God because we are saved and love Him with all our heart.
