The Great Charismatic Leader to come
There is a great Charismatic leader coming. He is charismatic, and he is called antichrist. With his Charismatic church, he will bring the world religions before him to worship at his feet.
If the world is about to come under a new world religion, what religion will it be? Well at this point it is easy to see that all the religions will come together as one in a unity of peace and spiritual advancement. So in order to bring these bricks together once must have an active cement. So what is this cement that binds all the world religions together? Well it's the charismatic movement. Oh man here come the letters in my email box. :-)
The Bible says that the antichrist will,
"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."
II Th 2:9-10 (KJV)
"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Rev 16:13-14 (KJV)
Here we see that miracles will be used greatly of the antichrist beast. There will be many dreams and miracles convincing the world that the antichrist is actually God in the flesh. The beast will be a great leader who will be confirmed and preached to the world by the Charismatic movement at large.
"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?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." (KJV) Matt 7:22-24
"When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. (KJV) Luke 13:25-28
It is interesting to note that Jesus called the works that they did as being works of evil. The greater importance was placed on the Word of God, and not the miracles. No where in scripture are we ever taught to seek miracles. In fact Jesus was always down hearted when people came to Him only for miracles.
The cornerstone of our faith is Jesus Christ, and the foundation of faith was built upon the cornerstone of Jesus Christ.
"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." (KJV)Heb 2:3
This scripture shows that it "was" confirmed to us by miracles through the apostles till their death and the completed cannon of scripture was completed. That is the foundation of our faith. The time of wholesale miracles has passed.
Today the Charismatics claim that there are Apostles today so therefore miracles are for our time. But the Bible says:
"The things that mark an apostle-- signs, wonders and miracles-- were done among you with great perseverance." (NIV) 2 Cor. 12:12
It is clear from this scripture that the miracles are not for today since it speaks of them in the past sense. My question to the Charismatics is this. Is Jesus nailed to the cross over and over again. The obvious answer is no, so why is it that they feel the foundation of the Apostles is continually being laid by people claiming to be modern day Apostles of God? Why do they continue to do miracles to confirm God's Word when it already HAS BEEN done in the past? All that we can do today is to take it by faith. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."2 Cor 5:7 (KJV)
Now on the other hand, Israel does not walk by faith since she is still under the law. Israel is not under the grace. God has spoken to Israel through miracles, so therefore Israel seeks signs and wonders ,and has nothing to do with the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ.
"Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, 'Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.' He answered, 'A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.'" (NIV) Matt 12:38-39
"And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. (KJV) Mark 8:12-13
The ruling class of Israel was not seeking Jesus, they were only seeking a miraculous sign. Once we are Raptured, the age of faith will end, and the age of law and miracles will begin once more as God turns His attention to the Jews once again. As God pours out His judgements upon the earth and the House of Israel, the antichrist will be proving to the world that he is their messiah. He will do this with many signs and wonders and certainly not the Bible, because it shows him for who he really is.
In the past as well as now, the Charismatic movement has moved many people away from God into the world of the supernatural and the occult. These people are all primed and ready to meet their false lying messiah. Miracles and dreams will prove to them that the beast from hell is truly Jesus, the ascended master from on high come for his people. What they will fail to grasp is that the real Jesus will have already come for His real Church. To the whore of Babylon who will be left behind, it will appear to be the greatest miracle ever known, the taking away of all the trouble makers, namely us!
Like Hitler before, he will give the world a sense of destiny and power in the new unity of mankind. No longer will they be shackled by the One who restrains. All the hidden evil in the world will now be brought forward in to the open for the world to indulge. Sodom and Gomorrah will seem pale in comparison!
What the Charismatics have done to fundamentalist Christianity is to sway them over to mysticism. They have replaced a deep prayer life with wasted hours of speaking gibberish to the air.
"So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air." (NIV) 1 Cor 14:9
Another grave deception is that the Charismatics have taken faith in God from solid understanding of scripture, and have replaced it with faith in miracles, visions, and dreams. I have actually had people tell me that they didn't care what the Bible said, they had their so called experience and that was good enough for them.
Jesus is the Logos, the living Word. He is the Word of God and the full expression of God. The Bible is the full expression of the Word and a complete revelation of Jesus Christ. How sad it is when people place miracles, dreams, and visions ahead of God's written Word. What is even sadder is that the antichrist will come in to the world riding on a crest of Biblical ignorance.
