21 The Age of Deceit: Part 4 - by Ron Matsen In previous sessions of “The Age of Deceit,” we identified Satan’s attack on the Word of God through Contradiction, Condescension, and Deconstruction. We then exposed his attack on the Way of God by which he offers another Jesus, another Spirit, and another Gospel.

In this session, we will explore Satan’s attack on the Church. The first time the word “church” is used in the Bible is found in Matthew chapter 16. Here the Greek word ekklēsia is translated Church which means “a gathering or assembly...”

DEAR FRIENDS

D

eception by stealth is a tactic employed by Satan that has drawn the unsuspecting into the unimaginable for millennia. No one in their right mind should want to be deceived to the point of being permanently injured, but dabbling in the dangerous world of the occult is like taking a pathway that surely leads to a slippery slope ending in destruction. This is an evil ploy where play leads to practice, humor leads to habit, and entertainment leads to entanglement.

The occult is a door that must never be opened. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.” Therefore, Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

May God continue to bless you as you continue to study His Word.

Christians are left wondering exactly how to handle this holiday that focuses so much on death.

I think most of us are sensitive to the fact that we are immersed in a pagan culture, and it’s become fascinating, and disconcerting, to watch as the world grows increasingly more open to the dark side.

We might not see witches’ cauldrons bubbling in local caves or Druids marching circles in the park, but it’s still easy to find remnants of our pagan past in the day-to-day walk through our world. Our days of the week and the months of the year are largely named after pagan gods from Roman and Teutonic traditions.

We even find aspects of those old days at Christmas – the time of year we’ve dedicated to honoring the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I think most of us are sensitive to the fact that we are immersed in a pagan culture, and it’s become fascinating, and disconcerting, to watch as the world grows increasingly more open to the dark side.

Ancient pagan traditions have leaked through the centuries into the present day. The custom of kissing someone under the mistletoe can be traced back to druid beliefs about the connection of that plant to sexual potency. The term “druid” originally referred to a priest of the oak cult, by the way. Easter is the season we commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ, but all that business of chicks, baby rabbits, and eggs ties back to the Babylonian fertility religions and the goddess Astarte or Ishtar, from which “Easter” gets its name. The egg was a fertility symbol that originated in debauched fertility cults. We think of Easter egg hunts as fun activities for children. The original cult practices were anything but child-friendly. If we understand the rabbit as a symbol of fertility, we can understand how both eggs and rabbits became associated with Easter. Cadbury might give us bunnies that lay treasures of gooey chocolate wonder, but that strange idea that we take for granted - an Easter bunny hiding eggs - hearkens back to these ancient practices.

Our culture is filled with the vestiges of ancient paganism. The custom of giving out cigars at a baby’s birth may hail from the times when ancient Mayan fathers would blow tobacco smoke toward the sun god as VOLUME 31 | ISSUE 10 |

Our childhood tooth fairy, strangely enough, can be linked to efforts to hide personal physical items, like teeth, from practitioners of Voodoo (or Hoodoo). To connect a Voodoo doll to a person, a piece of his or her clothing or fingernail clippings, a lock of hair or tooth were incorporated into the doll. People hid any teeth that fell out to keep them from being used by the Voodoo priest for curse rituals. The culture in which we live is a smorgasbord of cultural influences handed down from the ancient world, just as the English language is a mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Latin languages. (The word smorgasbord, for instance, is Scandinavian.)

We can celebrate Christmas and Resurrection Sunday with hearts devoted to Jesus Christ, turning the focus away from the pagan roots of these seasons and giving honor to our Lord. However, Halloween seems to have little to redeem it. As Bible believing Christians, we get confronted with this particularly pagan celebration, and it should be giving us some difficulties. Once a year we face the dilemma, the problem, the burden of how to approach this holiday called Halloween, the evening before the historical Christian holiday of All Saint’s Day. We can shrug off Halloween as a costume party, a time for kids to dress up and collect candy. We can let them enjoy the harmless spookiness of an autumn evening. However, there’s more to Halloween than we realize, and it’s a time when dangerous opportunities arise for our children to make their acquaintance with the occult.

Halloween is big business, and I wish that’s where it ended. It’s always a difficult time for Christians and especially those with children.

How should parents deal with this time of year? Dressing up in costumes is fun! Eating candy is fun! What harm is there in that, besides tummy aches and cavities?

I’m going to suggest that Halloween is an exceptionally treacherous time.

It glorifies horror, but that’s not all there is to it. It glorifies all things scary, dangerous and dark, and there are a variety of seemingly harmless involvements associated with Halloween that can serve as spiritual doorways. That’s where the biggest dangers lie. We call these “entries” into the occult, and some can prove tragic for the unwary.

Samhain While Halloween has flourished as an American holiday, its roots are found in ancient Britain and Ireland. The Celtic festival of Samhain (“sow-in”) was observed on October 31, the end of summer in Cornwall.

On both the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon calendars, November 1 marked the New Year. The date was connected with the return of the herds from pasture. Laws and land tenures were also renewed at that time. In Ireland, all the apples had to be harvested before October 31, because it was believed that wicked Irish fairies known as púca would spit on the apples after that date. It was one of the most important times of the year in the Celtic culture, but we discover it was also one of the most sinister times of the year.

The Celts were people who radiated out from central Europe during the Middle Ages and possibly earlier, settling in Spain, France and the British Isles.

The Celtic people engaged in what we’d now call the occultic arts. They worshipped nature, ascribing to it supernatural qualities. The Druids were a priestly class of the Celts, and when we study them, we find many similarities with Hinduism in their beliefs and practices. The Celts taught reincarnation and transmigration of the soul. They taught that people can be reborn as animals. Julius Caesar gives us some insight into the Celts of his day, describing the people and their culture in his work, Gallic War:

Celts taught reincarnation and transmigration of the soul. They taught that people can be reborn as animals.

The cardinal doctrine which they seek to teach is that souls do not die, but after death pass from one to another; and this belief, as the fear of death is thereby cast aside, they hold to be the greatest incentive to valor. Besides this, they have many discussions as touching the stars and their movement, the size of the universe and 10

of the earth, the order of nature, the strength and the powers of the immortal gods, and hand down their lore to the young men.2 It’s interesting that the Druids and the Celts venerated memory and oral recitation so highly that they left few written records. Most of what we know about the Celts comes from the records of the Romans. Caesar describes the Celts’ worship of the Roman gods Mercury, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter and Minerva. According to Caesar, the Celts believed that they descended from Dis (Pluto), the god of the dead, which he explains is why they reckon their days from nightfall to nightfall. Caesar also describes the Celtic habit of using human sacrifice to appease the gods, including stuffing giant dolls with men and setting them on fire: They believe, in effect, that, unless for a man’s life a man’s life be paid, the majesty of the immortal gods may not be appeased; and in public, as in private, life they observe an ordinance of sacrifices of the same kind. Others use figures of immense size, whose limbs, woven out of twigs, they fill with living men and set on fire, and the men perish in a sheet of flame. They believe that the execution of those who have been caught in the act of theft or robbery or some crime is more pleasing to the immortal gods; but when the supply of such fails they resort to the execution even of the innocent.3 According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the Druids covered their altars with the blood of their victims. The larger the number of victims, they believed, the greater the crop yield would be the following year.

The Druids even used human sacrifice as a method of telling the future.

Tacitus notes that human intestines were used in divination, saying, “The Druids consult the gods in the palpitating entrails of men.”4 Roman geographer Strabo describes how a man was stuck in the back with a sword, and the Druids would then interpret omens from the convulsive movements made during the victim’s death struggles.5 Diodorus Siculus describes this practice in greater detail: 2 3 4 5

The Gauls likewise make use of diviners, accounting them worthy of high approbation, and these men foretell the future by means of the flight or cries of birds and of the slaughter of sacred animals, and they have all the multitude subservient to them. They also observe a custom which is especially astonishing and incredible, in case they are taking thought with respect to matters of great concern; for in such cases they devote to death a human being and plunge a dagger into him in the region above the diaphragm, and when the stricken victim has fallen they read the future from the manner of his fall and from the twitching of his limbs, as well as from the gushing of the blood, having learned to place confidence in an ancient and long-continued practice of observing such matters.6 These were the Druids, the priestly class of the ancient Celts. Their religious practices horrified the Romans, who made strides to put an end to human sacrifice. The coming of Christianity further mollified the British Isles. Yet, vestiges of those ancient rites can still be found today.

How does all this tie into Halloween? The Celts were the trunk from which Halloween grew. The Druids believed that on the last day of the old year, Samhain, the lord of darkness and death gathered the souls of the evil dead that had been condemned and forced them to enter the bodies of animals. It was believed that he would then decide which animal form they would take for the next year. The souls of the good dead were reincarnated as humans. The Druids also believed that the punishments suffered by the evil dead would be lightened by sacrifices, prayers, and gifts to the lord of death.

that the separation between the realms of the living and the dead grew thin, and those who had died during the preceding twelve months were permitted by Samhain to cross over. Whether good or evil, they were permitted to visit their former places of habitation for a few hours, to associate once again with their families.

It was on these occasions that ancient fire festivals were celebrated on local hilltops. The Celts would build giant bonfires to frighten away the evil spirits. Because the souls of the dead were supposed to visit their homes that day, the annual festival acquired a sinister significance. The Celts believed that ghosts, witches, goblins, fairies, and demons of all kinds roamed about. Evil or frustrated ghosts were supposed to play tricks on humans to cause supernatural manifestations. The Celts were determined to handle the supernatural powers, and as part of the celebration, the people would don grotesque masks and danced around the bonfires to scare away those wandering evil spirits. In some cases, food was placed out for the dead to make them feel welcome. We begin to understand how those traditions reached across the ages to the celebration of the holiday today.

With the barriers between the spirits and the living so thin, Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for divinations. The Druids would use their arts to tell the future about marriages, health, and death.

It was considered the only day on which the help of the devil could be invoked for such purposes. That’s one of the strange superstitions that emerges in all of this.

It’s interesting to look at pagan religions throughout the world and discover that many celebrate a time when the dead return to mingle with the living. The Hindus light bonfires on their first night of Holi.

The Iroquois Indians celebrated the Feast of the Dead. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead begins on November 2. In Russia, all the witches and spirits were said to gather once a year on the Summer Solstice to hold bonfires and engage in fertility rituals. The composer Modest Mussorgsky depicted this Slavic witch’s holiday in his composition St. John’s Eve on Bald Mountain. It’s a passionate musical composition and was featured as one of the segments in the Disney movie Fantasia (1940). It depicts VOLUME 31 | ISSUE 10 |

During the Middle During the Middle Ages, the Ages, the Catholic Catholic Church in Europe made an attempt to oppose paganism Church in Europe made by replacing pagan celebrations an attempt to oppose with Christian holidays. In order paganism by replacing to offset Samhain, they created All pagan celebrations with Saints Day on November 1st as a Christian holidays. day to commemorate all the saints of the Church. We find the first mention of a Christian celebration on November 1 during the reign of Pope Gregory III, but it was in A.D. 837 that Gregory IV ordered the general observance of All Saint’s Day. The next day, November 2, was later designated as All Soul’s Day, which eventually became a day designated for praying for the dead. Pagan traditions were mixed in with Christian efforts to honor the saints, and we see the results of syncretism in the holiday practices that followed.

The practices of the ancient Celts were commingled with the Catholic concept of Purgatory.

By the late eighteenth century, it was customary for English Catholics to assemble at midnight on Halloween to pray for the souls of their departed friends. In northern Europe, worshippers ate special soul cakes with the promise to pray for souls to be freed earlier from Purgatory. Children and the poor would beg from door to door, “A soul cake, a soul cake, a prayer for a soul cake!” On All Soul’s Day, cakes with images of skulls and skeletons were eaten in Sicily, and in France the day was dedicated to prayer for the dead who were not yet glorified.

People ate soul cakes because they thought them to be powerful antidotes against the flames of Purgatory that might be invoked on the returning ghosts at dusk. Lighted candles were placed on the graves and in the windows to guide the dead back home.

Halloween was not celebrated in early American history. It was not widely observed until the nineteenth century, when it was introduced 14

by the Irish Catholic immigrants who brought ancient traditions from their homeland.

The idea of Purgatory did not originate in Catholicism. Naraka is the place of temporary punishment after death in Hinduism. In Plato’s Republic, Socrates tells Glaucon about a man who awoke from the dead twelve days after being killed in battle. The man described a place where the dead were judged. Some were thrown into Hell, but others suffered ten-fold for their crimes and after 1000 years were allowed into Elysium.

The Druids believed that the sinful souls of those who had died during the year had been relegated to the bodies of animals, but through gifts and sacrifices of sins could be expiated and their souls freed to claim their heavenly reward.

The one place we The one place we find no mention of Purgatory is the Bible. The Bible teaches find no mention that Jesus Christ came to take away the of Purgatory is sins of the world, and there is no other way the Bible... Jesus to get to heaven.7 In the Old Testament, Christ came to take sins were paid for by animal sacrifices, but away the sins of the Hebrews 10 makes it clear that even those world, and there is sacrifices were merely meant to point to no other way to get Christ. As Hebrews 10:4 states: “For it is to heaven. not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.” We cannot pay for our sins with money. We cannot pay for them with prayers.

The only act sufficient to pay for our sins was already accomplished on a cross in Judea 2000 years ago, and our part is to trust in the finished work of Christ.

All Hallow’s Eve in America In medieval England, the Halloween festival became known as All Hallow’s Eve. The feast was abolished by the Church of England after the Reformation, but gradually a Halloween tradition became introduced into the United States by the Irish immigrants who poured into the country during the late 1800s. It gradually became a secular 7 John 3:16, 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Peter 1:18, 19; 1 John 1:7 VOLUME 31 | ISSUE 10 |

observance that was celebrated by many who didn’t know about its religious background—and didn’t care. A variety of practices developed, carried over from the ancient times and changed to fit a secular purpose in the new world.

One of these traditions is the familiar carving of jack-o-lanterns.

Celebrants have long gutted pumpkins and other gourds and carved them with faces so that they give off an eerie orange glow when lit candles are placed in the bottom. It’s interesting how many different ideas are used to explain the jack-o-lantern. The carved pumpkin tradition probably originated from the witches’ use of a skull with a candle inside, with which they illuminated their coven meetings.

However, we do find strange legends among the Irish, including the legend of Irish Jack. Jack was presumably a stingy drunk, who tricked the devil himself into climbing a tree for an apple. Jack then cut the sign of the cross into the tree trunk, preventing the devil from coming back down. Jack forced the devil to swear that he would never come back after Jack’s soul, and the devil reluctantly agreed. When Jack eventually died, he was turned away from the gates of heaven because of his life as a drunk, selfish sinner. He then went to the devil, but he also rejected Jack in honor of his promise. As Jack left hell, the devil flung a live coal at Jack and condemned him to wander the Earth, rejected from both above and below. Jack put the coal inside a hallowed-out turnip, making the first jack-o-lantern. Eventually, pumpkins replaced the turnip, especially in America where pumpkins were plentiful. That’s one of the Irish legends told to children to explain what we call a jack-o-lantern.

It’s colorful and strange, and it makes a good story.

Americans love to dress up in costumes on Halloween. The ancient Druids dressed up like the returning souls of the dead as a self-defense.

The real spirits might just think they were one of them and not bother them. The disguised Celts paraded to the outskirts of town to lead the dead souls away, and they would be greeted with a banquet-laden table at the end of the feast day.

Druid ceremonial participants also wore animal heads and skins to acquire the strength of the particular animal whose skins they wore.

Typical animistic beliefs, masks and costumes were employed in traditional shamanism and other forms of animism to change the personality of the wearer to allow communication with the spirit world.

Immigrants to the United States, particularly the Irish, introduced these Halloween costume traditions, and they became popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. The night became one of mischief making instead of one dedicated to praying for the dead. Those with a sense of humor used the opportunity to play practical jokes that could be blamed on ghosts or witches. Rather than going from door to door “souling” and seeking soul cakes, children traveled through neighborhoods from house to house asking for treats. Those who didn’t offer yummy foods might be rewarded with a prank or trick, because that’s what ghosts and witches did: they created mischief on the living.

“Trick or treat!” the children call.

The November 3, 1927 edition of The Calgary Daily Herald of Alberta, Canada, reported from the High River News: Hallowe’en came and went and was observed most circumspectly in town, without the usual depredations. The greatest activity was manifested by the very young, who wandered in droves from door to door, heavily disguised and demanding “trick or treat.” To treat was to be untricked, and the youthful hold-up men soon returned home bowed down with treats.

That same day, The Blackie Times of Alberta Canada described the Halloween festivities of the year, stating: Halloween gave an opportunity to the young to use up some of their surplus energy which was freely taken advantage of. Threshing outfits, wagons, parts of wagons, old autos, barrels, etc., decorated the front streets and buildings were overturned, while front and back doors were invaded and inmates held up by the awful word “Trick or Treat” from the youthful invaders...

destructive behavior, efforts were made to turn Halloween into a time that focused on the youth. In 1965, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) adopted Halloween as an opportunity to collect money. It became common for UNICEF to show up on doorsteps on Halloween, seeking money. It sounds like an appropriate thing, and it got some of the focus off mischief-making and onto charity. However, to me it seemed strangely appropriate for the ungodly United Nations to exploit this pagan holiday.

Our Heavy Artillery The ultimate question in all of this is, “What do we do?” How do we approach Halloween, especially when we have children and teenagers involved? There are clearly a variety of alternative diversions that Christians can take on Halloween, from harvest parties to praise and worship. There’s another idea I have long liked. The kids can create a pageant in which they act out the story of Saul and the Witch of Endor from 1 Samuel 28, which doesn’t end well for Saul. They might also act out a play on Martin Luther, and the focus of the day can be on how the Reformation started. This approach encourages the kids to learn about these things, and they have the opportunity to express all their creativity and energy in a positive way at the end of October.

In the 1990s, we ran a national contest to write a play for Saul and the Witch of Endor, and we received a multitude of entries. A panel of judges chaired by Frank Peretti read through the entries and picked the four best plays, which we still offer for free to the public.8 We can pray for our families and our communities, our local schools and our local government. We can pray for our states and state governments and for the members of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of our government. If we want our country to be spiritually healthy, we are responsible to take it to the enemy every day through prayer. The words of God in the day of Solomon are as true today as they ever were: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked 8 These can be found on our K-House website at https://khouse.org/pages/halloween_plays/

ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If we are concerned about the rise of the occult in our country, the rise of deception and lies that threaten to drag people into hell, then we can do something about it. It doesn’t start with the occultists. It starts with us. We are called by the name of Jesus Christ. We need to humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways. It starts right here in our homes, in our lives, in our churches. If we do this, then God promises that He will hear and He will heal our land.

THE AGE OF DECEIT

DECEIT - PART 4

n previous sessions of “The Age of Deceit,” we identified Satan’s attack on the Word of God through Contradiction, Condescension, and Deconstruction. We then exposed his attack on the Way of God by which he offers another Jesus, another Spirit, and another Gospel.

In this session, we will explore Satan’s attack on the Church. The first time the word “church” is used in the Bible is found in Matthew chapter 16. Here the Greek word ekklēsia is translated Church which means “a gathering or assembly.”

Jesus taught His disciples concerning the establishment of His Church.

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” And they said, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” He saith unto them, “But whom say ye that I am?” And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered and said unto him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Matthew 16:13-18 KJV

Early in His teaching ministry, Jesus stated that His message of truth would eventually be turned into lies by self-seeking false prophets who pretend to be spokesmen for God. As Jesus addressed the people during His Sermon on the Mount, He warned, VOLUME 31 | ISSUE 10 |

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

Matthew 7:15-20 KJV

Deception by Infiltration How do these destructive influences infiltrate the Church? The apostle Paul told the Church elders in Ephesus, “Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.”

Acts 20:26-30 KJV

Here Paul identified two main doors by which these “wolves” enter the Church.

1) By Invasion. This is a frontal attack whereby they “enter in among you.”

2) By Inversion. This is a more subtle attack whereby they come “of your own selves.”

The method of these deviant disciples is to “speak perverse things” (which means “to distort, to oppose, and to lead from the right path”) and then “draw away disciples after themselves.” In other words, their ultimate objective is to have people become followers of them instead 22

of being followers of Jesus alone. Jesus warned about these false leaders by stating…

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”

Matthew 23:15 KJV

Deception by Accommodation Broken Cisterns Jeremiah complained about the apostasy of Judah by saying, “Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”

Jer 2:11-13 KJV

Today, Darwinian physical science has given the world “Declaration over Exploration.” Sadly, many Churches are promoting “Theistic Evolution” as a needless compromise with the disastrous result of killing God the Creator.

Freudian mental science has given the world an “Escape from Sin” where everyone is a victim. Here, too many in the Church promote these unbiblical ideas and thereby killing God the Judge.

18th-20th century Biblical “Higher Criticism” gave the world spiritual doubt. The result?

Absence of personal discernment as the Church promotes its own self-criticism and thereby killing God the Communicator.

All three of these secular practices are like the “broken cisterns” spoken of by Jeremiah.

Alliances of Weakness Hosea helps us draw a historic parallel here. He observes that, Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

Hos 7:8-9 KJV

Hosea was warning against the deception that comes from infiltration, integration, and influence of evil among God’s people. The best example of this kind of compromise is King Solomon himself as the writer of 1 Kings reminds us, For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

1Ki 11:4 KJV

The Worldwide Ecumenical Movement apply demonstrates this dangerous paradigm shift among some church organizations today.

This type of pragmatic political positioning dilutes and dims the Salt and Light effect1 of the true followers of Jesus Christ. It is interesting to observe this global “in gathering.”

• The Denominational churches are trying to “gather in” the Free churches, • The Reformation churches are trying to “gather in” the Denominational churches, • The Roman Catholic church is trying to “gather in” the Reformation churches, and • Globalism is trying to “gather in” all religions under one big umbrella of control and compromise.

Sheep Without Shepherds Again, the prophet Hosea gives us the historic parallel to our current situation. Concerning the backsliding of the northern nation of Israel, He complains, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Hos 4:6 KJV

Jeremiah tells us that, My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away [on] the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

Jer 50:6 KJV

He warns, Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of 1 Matthew 5:13 VOLUME 31 | ISSUE 10 |

Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

Jer 23:1-2 KJV

False teachers in the end times are predicted by Jesus2, by Paul3, and Peter4.

The characteristics of these invaders are clearly identified in Scripture.

The Epistle of Jude tells us, 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ... 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. ... 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. ... 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Jude 1:4, 8, 12-13, 16 KJV

Therefore, we can see that these “false pastors” are the authors of apostasy within the end-times Church today and will take the lead in the downfall of many. Jude’s epistle gives us what should be our response to these “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, 2 Matthew 24:4,5 3 Acts 20:26-30 4 2 Peter 2:1-3

having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

Learn the Bible in 24 Hours Group Study Package US$49.95 (free shipping within the USA) Chuck Missler deeply believed that the Church in the end times would need to be “self-feeders.” In his teaching series on the Once and Future Church, Chuck emphasized the fact that the best place to practically learn the Bible is within a small group of believers who are all dedicated to taking the Bible seriously.

To help facilitate this vision, Koinonia House has prepared a complete study group tool kit. Just add a group of people excited to explore the Bible and you have all you need to start your group NOW! The LTB24 Group Study Package materials are all contained on a handsomely presented USB drive that is housed in an engraved wooden presentation box which includes: • LTB24 HD MP4 video files (24 High Definition Videos, with optional English and Spanish Subtitles) • LTB24 MP3 audio files (All 24 audio files) • LTB24 Handbook - PDF (Supplemental Notes by Chuck Missler) • LTB24 Group Leader’s Guide – PDF (“How to lead a group” instructions, Session Questions Answer Key, Group Discussion Questions) • Chuck's Original Power Point files • LTB24 Student Study Guide – PDF (Session Questions, Discussion Topics and areas for Personal Notes) • Optional KI Membership • Optional KI K-Credits for the Group Leader (Requires a KI Practicum submittal)
