Many deceivers

[Stewardofthemystery]

In Revelation 13:11 we see a beast come up out of the earth that had horns like a lamb, but spake as a Dragon. This image is the false prophet image, which represents the spirit of anti-christ, or false prophet spirit, which many have been deceived into believing “it” to be a single man figure yet to come.
But all the scriptures concerning the word anti-christ speak of a single lying spirit working in "many" deceivers. In verse 13 and 14 we are told this beast does great wonders and miracles in the sight of men.

So let’s see if Jesus and the apostles confirm this truth about "many" deceivers and "many" false prophets who would rise up in the world, instead of this false notion of a single man figure called “Antichrist” that is yet to come.

2 John 1:7 “For "many" deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

Notice Jesus also warned of "many" false prophets who would look like a lamb also show great signs and wonders, matching the description and wording found in Revelation 13.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

Matthew 24:11 “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”

Matthew 24:24 “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.”

Mark 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

Mark 13:22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.”

Luke 21:8 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.”

2 Peter 2:1 “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.”

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

In 1 Timothy 4:1 we are told there was to be a falling away from the faith in the last days, with some giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

Also in Titus 1:10 “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:”

So clearly by the testimony of Jesus and the apostles there would arise (like the beast did rise) "many"
deceivers, "many" false teachers, and "many" false prophets speaking by the same spirit of antichrist. (or false prophet spirit)

Prove all things by the words of God. Peace and God bless

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The fact that each of these "he's" Highlighted are third person singular personal words of someone doing this action. And the case that the beast that this representative causes to worship is also a person.. I would just be serious and understand, yes there is a system of false prophets and a system of false teachers. and even the world system. That this is an actual person who is doing these induvidual tasks at this time

The singular lying spirit of Satan is also referred to as both “he” and “it” in scripture.

Here is an example where a singular lying spirit known as “he” would go out and be a singular lying spirit working in the mouths of many false prophets…

1 Kings 22:19-23

King James Version

​

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

the issue with this, is in kings. the spirit is speaking first person singular. so he is an induvidial spirit

And he is the one who told the lying spirit. to the prophets..

The lying spirit itself is not representative of the beast out of the sea..

I agree with this statement because even the beast needs a helping hand.

New York Times Columnist Thomas Friedman argued that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is escalating the war in Gaza in order to help Donald Trump win the U.S. presidential election in November because Netanyahu believes a Trump presidency is the key to his own political survival.

I agree,there are many who will arrive in Israel in Jesus name who will decieve many.

Have you noticed that after they come in Jesus name deceiving many in the Olivet discourse,the followers of Jesus are then persecuted and killed?

Same as with the second beast in revelation 13.
When it arrives and makes an image of the first beast and starts giving people the mark of the beast.Then the persecution of them in Christ begins.


Revelation 14

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

the issue with this, is in kings. the spirit is speaking first person singular. so he is an induvidial spirit

And he is the one who told the lying spirit. to the prophets..

The lying spirit itself is not representative of the beast out of the sea..

So is the antichrist spirit. It is the singular lying spirit of Satan who works in many deceivers, and in many spirits.

1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

This singular spirit of antichrist was already in the world when John wrote those words.

So is the antichrist spirit. It is the singular lying spirit of Satan who works in many deceivers, and in many spirits.

1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

This singular spirit of antichrist was already in the world when John wrote those words.

But that is not what rev 13 is talking about. it is talking about 2 induviduals who will do certain events in the last days..

That this is an actual person who is doing these induvidual tasks at this time

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

So, using your logic, we should conclude that it's talking about a literal woman here since it refers to "her" repeatedly?

 

[tailgator]

But that is not what rev 13 is talking about. it is talking about 2 induviduals who will do certain events in the last days..

It's not just two people.
You don't honestly believe there will be a man with two horns stuck out of his head,do you?

Revelation 13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.



You expect someone to look like this?

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

But that is not what rev 13 is talking about. it is talking about 2 induviduals who will do certain events in the last days..

Wrong. Prophetic beasts refer to world kingdoms, not individuals.

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

But that is not what rev 13 is talking about. it is talking about 2 induviduals who will do certain events in the last days..

The Singular spirit of the Devil works in many flesh and blood men for thousands of years. But keep in mind our battle is not against flesh and blood men.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Acts 20:29-31

King James Version

​

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

King James Version

​

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Matthew 7:21-23

King James Version

​

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
