THE ANTICHRIST SCENARIO

Transcription

1 THE ANTICHRIST SCENARIO Look What s Missing is the title of a Chick Publications book by David Daniels. David Daniels has researched forty (40) different new Bible translations and shows what is missing in them when compared to the Authorised King James Holy Bible. His research that includes the Jehovah Witness bible reveals that the NIV has come out as being the worst of all of these new bible translations. There is a large amount of deception concerning the new bible translations that are on the market today. Most pastors are not researching the sources of them or who composed them. Westcott and Hort (1881) put together the made up corrupted Greek text that they called The New Testament in the Original Greek. The translators are told that they are using the oldest and most reliable Greek texts when the text that they are using was composed by Westcott and Hort as recently as Most modern Bible Colleges use the Nestle Arland 23 rd Greek text that was composed in This tries to conceal the names and the corrupted writings of Westcott and Hort. The above text was copied from and is almost identical to the Greek text composed by Westcott and Hort. This tries to convince young bible students that the King James Bible uses a more recent and inferior Greek text. This diverts their attention away from the faithful Textus Receptus from which the Authorised King James Holy Bible text was faithfully copied from the copies of the copies etc., of the original autographs. This text, along with the Nestle Arland 23 rd Greek text, which was composed in 1926, is the text that modern translators are using to produce their corrupted bibles. This was the Greek New Testament that we were given at Bible College. You can check out a lot of this information on the web that confirm these errors. You can Google Westcott and Hort and see who these men really were, view the Battle of the Bibles on another site called Amazing Discoveries hosted by Walter Veith. Many other web sites can give you this information. A team of us here believe that it is most important because Romans 10:17 tells us that; faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are saved through faith by hearing and believing the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. When the words of our Lord Jesus Christ are deleted, added to or changed, false doctrines and teachings can be produced and divert people s attention away from hearing the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the doctrine of Christ. This can result in many people missing out of being born again of the Spirit of God. See John 10:27 and 2 John 1:9 Another concern is the term Antichrist. As you would know, it has two meanings that are interconnected and that is, it is against Christ by taking the place of Christ. This seems to be the scenario concerning Antichrist. Satan (named as that man of sin the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3) through deception and self-exaltation, makes out that he himself is God. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 The proposal is that for Satan to get to the above position, he has to transform himself into an angel of light, (see 2 Corinthians 11:13-15) and to appear to be in support of the doctrines of Christ, whilst at the same time is secretly and subtly changing the doctrines and teachings of Christ. To achieve this, the target is the endeavour to change the Word of God and subtly remove the doctrine and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ from the Holy Bible. This provides the pathway for Antichrist to claim that in the Bible, Jesus is not the Christ, but that he is. This is being subtly accomplished through the introduction of the new and corrupt translations of the Bible, a thing that the Roman Catholic Church has been doing for centuries. I had often wondered what was meant by the scripture that say s; For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 2 Thessalonians 2:7. Who is the he that is to be taken out of the way? It becomes evident that it is the doctrine and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. When the doctrine and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ is taken out of the way, (and this is just what the new and corrupt bibles subtly do) it takes our Lord Jesus Christ out of the way as being the true promised Messiah and clears the way for Antichrist to falsely claim that he is Christ, the Messiah. A good example of this deception can be found in the premillennial teaching and its false interpretation of Daniel 9: The teaching claims that the he who confirms the covenant with many for one week in verse 27 is the Antichrist, instead of Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ. To call Christ the Antichrist is a very serious error of deception. The Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy is ALL ABOUT MESSIAH, our Lord Jesus Christ, the date and time in history when He would appear at His First Advent, His life, His death on a cruel cross AND BODILY RESURRECTION. How could Messiah confirm the covenant with many for one week after shedding His precious blood on a cruel cross if He was not bodily resurrected? This positively identifies that it is our Lord Jesus Christ who is the he who confirms the ***covenant with many for one week in Daniel 9:27, not Antichrist making a covenant with the Jews as the premillennum false teaching does. (***Hebrew Bereeth, used ONLY in connection with a Divine Covenant; the continuous tense also confirms that this covenant is definitely connected to the blood of the everlasting covenant of Hebrews 13:20) 1

2 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 One of the things that we have researched is the many times that the doctrine and Deity of Christ has been subtly removed from modern bibles. In the NIV, Jesus as Lord has been removed 43 times. Christ has been removed 13 times, Jesus Christ 10 Times etc. The Roman Catholic Bibles, the Revised Standard and New Revised Standard version, subtly remove the prophecy of virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in Isaiah 7:14, yet they worship Mary as the virgin Mary. Acts 8:37, which is our confession of faith when we believe and are born again, is completely removed from the NIV and 35 other modern translations. Believing that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is the only begotten Son of the living God, justifies us unto salvation. See Matthew 16:16, Acts 13:39, and Romans 10:8-11 Once this has been done and the apostasy or falling away has taken place, the devil may have the numbers and support both from the world and from the churches. This makes the way clear for Satan to come and falsely claim in the temple of God, that he is God. The tares have been sown amongst the wheat. Matthew 13:24-30, (Tares are not a weed as modern bibles tell you; they are another crop that looks just like wheat. You cannot tell the difference between them until the tares produce a small brown or black seed that is poisonous for humans to eat. By their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:20) I think that is time for all sincere and born again Christians to research these things properly to see if they are so. This is very important because our Lord Jesus said, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many 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; Matthew 24:4-5, 24 The verse that says: Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many, tells us that not only many will try to claim that they are the Christ, and deceive many, but many false teachers will also say that Jesus is the Christ in an endeavour to introduce their false doctrine and teachings. By using the name of our Lord Jesus, they do miracles in His name etc., subtly remove the doctrine and deity of Christ, and deceive many. See Matthew 7:21-23 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 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. 1 John 4:1-3 The highlighted words are omitted in the NIV and 35 other modern bibles. This testifies of the way that these modern bibles are not exposing the spirit of antichrist, therefore they are Antichrist or occult bibles. This puts all corrupted bibles into the occult category, they allow the spirit of Antichrist to infiltrate into the churches and take over the thinking and beliefs of the masses. It would be well for the people in the church to take account of what happened in the early church when occult teachings were exposed. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. Acts 19:17-20 Occult bibles need to be exposed, rejected and burned, so that the spirit of Antichrist does not continue to corrupt and take away from the word of God. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 John 1:9-11 The Word of God is plain about the doctrine of Christ. Those who do not have or abideth in the doctrine of Christ do not have God. Those who do have and abideth in the doctrine of Christ, have both the Father and the Son. This can be applied to both ALL the new Bible translations that omit the words that are the doctrine of Christ, and to those who knowing this, deliberately follow them. The words of our Lord Jesus Christ are the doctrine of Christ. See Matthew 7:28-29 Our Lord Jesus said that his words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35. This is a very serious charge and needs to be considered with a great deal of thought, Bible study and prayer. 1. Luke 9:56. Here are just four small examples. (KJV) "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village." (NIV) "And they went to another village." The words that our Lord Jesus said in the Authorised King James Holy Bible are the doctrine of Christ. Our Lord Jesus came to 2

3 save men s lives, not destroy them. The above verse is omitted in the NIV and in at least 34 other commonly used modern Bibles. In doing so, they omit the doctrine of Christ; therefore, they are occult Bibles that do not have the witness of the Holy Spirit that they are of the inspiration of God. 2. Mark 15:28 (KJV) "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors." (NIV) (The whole verse omitted) Why would the NIV leave out this very important fulfilment of prophecy verse? This verse that is found in Daniel 9:25 prophecy says, to finish the transgression, and to make and end of sins, and to make reconciliation for *iniquity. (*is lawlessness) Surely, our eternal salvation completely depends upon the fulfilment of this verse by our Lord Jesus Christ and His complete and finished work on the cross. 3. Ephesians 3:14 (KJV) "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," (NIV) "For this reason I kneel before the Father," This is a subtle denial of the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and His personal Sonship. 4. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. (NIV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son. By leaving out the word begotten, 31 new Bible translations deny the doctrine and Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. They are occult or Antichrist bibles. The Holy Bible tells us that Adam begat Cain, Able and Seth. Enoch begat Methuselah: Abraham begat Isaac, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David, etc. The word begat means that these sons who were begotten were made in the likeness of their fathers sinful nature and image. They were sinful human beings just like their fathers were. The same applies to the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; through the virgin birth, our Lord Jesus Christ was begotten of God our heavenly Father as His only begotten Son, and thus has the same sinless nature, image and likeness of God our heavenly Father. Our Lord Jesus Christ is God just like His heavenly Father is. This verifies the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; He is God in the flesh. See John 10:30, 14:9 and 17:22. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16 This is where some of the antichrist deception and error of the new translations of the bible is revealed; they change God was manifest in the flesh to who or which was manifest in the flesh and thus do not believe that God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, is come in the flesh. See 1 John 4:1-3 (The following scriptures also confirm this.) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:9 There are over 200 such omissions of the doctrine and Deity of Christ in at least 37 modern corrupted Bibles. These omissions, as previously mentioned, subtly target the doctrine and Deity of Christ that allows the apostasy of Antichrist to enter in and take its place in the churches. Of the 40 bibles surveyed in this area by David Daniels, he says that NIV has the most omissions and changes concerning the doctrine and Deity of Christ and lists it as being the worst translation of them all. The people who translate those Bibles that deliberately omit the doctrine of Christ are not of God. It is the Holy Bible that says this. The same applies to those who deliberately preach and quote from those corrupted Bibles that omit the doctrine and Deity of Christ. Our lord Jesus said, Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. John 8:43-45 It is not a matter of not understanding the language of the Authorised King James Holy Bible as so many say; (which has been given to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God) it is a matter of not hearing and believing the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 When a person says that they cannot understand the language of the Authorised King James Holy Bible, are they confessing that just like the Jews in the above verses, that they cannot hear the word of our Lord Jesus Christ? Many millions have heard the voice of 3

4 our Lord Jesus Christ and have been born again through the Authorised King James Holy Bible, so what is the problem? Many people study difficult subjects at university, study and learn new foreign languages etc., but say that they cannot understand the language of the Authorised King James Holy Bible? And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matthew 13:14-15 All those who have departed from the faith, by giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1) may be classified as no longer hearing the word of God. They may also be classified as not truthfully having the witness of the Holy Spirit within themselves that they are saved. To be satisfied, they think that they can find another witness that comes from outside or away from the true and immutable Word of God: (Immutable means; not subject or susceptible to change or variation in form or quality or nature. Hebrews 6:17-18) This is why I believe that so many people turn to modern versions and try to get a substitute or selfconfirming witness, one that is not from the Holy Spirit of God. God promised that He would preserve His words forever. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalm 12:6-7 Today is a part of that forever. There are many subtle subtractions, additions and changes that can be seen and are obvious in the new translations of the modern bibles. Subtly there are thousands of them. These subtractions and additions break the promises of God. They change the Word of God and make out that God is a liar. God does not and cannot lie. The fact is that it is impossible for God to lie. See Hebrews 6:17-18 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Psalm 117:2 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 1 Peter 1:25 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:5 All these scriptures, (and many more also) confirm that God does not lie and that His truth endureth unto all generations. What happened to the truth of God before we got all those new modern translations of the bible? None of them agree with one another, so how can the true words of God be preserved in them? It is obvious that we have had the true preserved words of God with us all the time, just as God has promised to us, preserved for us in our English language in the Authorised King James Holy Bible. What does the Holy Bible say about this? He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: He that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 1 John 5:10 All true believers that abideth in the doctrine of Christ; have the witness of the Holy Spirit that they are the sons of God. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3 Not counting the additions and changes, the NIV has 64,098 words that have been deleted from the text that the Authorised King James Holy Bible translators used. The most recent edition of the NIV has many more word and verse subtractions and changes. It really is another revision. This shows that, despite all the publicity and hype about that translation, the NIV translators have not got it right. Surely, common sense should prevail, and all English speaking Christians should go back to and prayerfully study the true, inerrant, infallible and immutable Word of God as found in the Authorised King James Holy Bible. One other final warning, Galatians 1:8 say s; But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Corrupted bible versions preach another Christ and another gospel. We should be warned not to preach or quote from them because they add to, subtract from and change the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Christ. Galatians warns us that 4

5 anybody who does so puts that person under a curse. CONCLUSION The Authorised King James Holy Bible is the inerrant, infallible and immutable Holy Bible for all ENGLISH speaking people. Antichrist teaching and doctrines replace the ever important doctrine of Christ with seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and sadly many naïve and unwary Christians have been falling for them. It is important then for us to get back to prayerful Bible study and sound doctrine so that the antichrist deceptions will not be able to deceive us. Romans 10:17 says: faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We receive the gift of faith from God by hearing the word of God; therefore we should not even consider that we have faith unless we are hearing the word of God, the connection to faith being the hearing of the word of God. Our Lord Jesus said; Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light: Matthew 11:
