The Evolution Deceit

Satan is a clever one, and he causes us to fall by making us question Gods' word.  We see this from Eve and the serpent in Genesis 3:1-6. God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree in the center of the garden, or they would surely die.  We don't know if this was all the conversation, but we do get the gist of it as Adam and Eve had Gods' word about the tree, but the Serpent cleverly got Eve to question if they would really die, and convinced her, "Surely you will not die".  This is the fall of man spiritually, if summed up to its smallest component, it is questioning Gods' word and replacing it with our own. 

The Devil is clever, and modern science has given him tools and leverage against our own finite existance.  Even though genetics and DNA, and several other complications decrease the odds of any life starting spontaneously and then evolving into advanced creatures capable of abstract thought, it is our own finite vision and years of refining one theory after another, then taught year after year in school, so many people have become convinced that evolutionary theory is indeed scientific fact.  The fact is, it is a theory.  If cells were simple, and had no DNA structure in them, it would be a simpler argument, but the Devil would have developed a method through this by which evolution could have occurred.  If science was any different than it is now it would still be the same.  Satan will use whatever tools he has to his advantage, to make us question Gods' word, to make us question Gods' plans for us.

The same potential deceit, different topic: My challenge to everyone is to read Gods' word for yourself, forget what seminary's teach, forget all the conflicting interpretations you hear, and read Gods' word yourself and test these interpretations and theories against Gods' word.  I say this because wrong teaching taught long enough and hard enough will be drilled into our minds as provable fact, even if someone is mistaken.  The Pretribulation rapture is taught as fact for a huge variety of reasons, but if you srutinize these reasons against Gods' word, not only are these reasons only circumstancial evidence, but they also possibly stand in contradiction to Gods' word.  There are many issues in the structure of pre tribulation rapture, but my focus lately has been Revelation, however I do hope to do a complete and thorough, point by point example of the interpretations which suddenly sprang up only in recent past history that declares a pre tribulation rapture. For example, Noah and Lot are examples of how God removes people from danger, however He did not remove them from the earth, but rather He protected them.  The church is not mentioned after chapter 3 in Revelation, however the saints are, and the saints are the body which makes up the church.  By the same token, Thess, Cor, Matt, all speak of when Christ will return and gather His followers, Matthew 24 says, at the end of the tribulation, Thess and Cor say at the sound of the last trump, (trumpets sounded as a method of communicating to the armies stretched across hills and valleys that it was time for battle, or to charge, the last trump being the final battle charge.  They didn't have walkie talkies back then.)  Even some of His parables elude to His not coming immediately, and Jesus himself said, I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (John 17:15) Anyway, this page is not intended to question all points, but only to make the point that it is not a hard fact.  Jesus made it clear that He would come and take his followers at the end of the Tribulation in Matt 24, if He was going to save us from the tribulation, why is it not stated as such anywhere in scripture?  Certainly this point would be as important as his coming.  I have covered this topic to some degree in my Post tribulation Study.  The issue I believe is very important for people to understand that no matter what they think, there is a distinct possibility that we will be here during the tribulation to be persecuted, which poses a very real danger to those who are absolutely convinced of a pretribulation rapture and take no thought to the possibility of our waiting for the bridgroom to come, and not have enough oil for our lamps should he tarry in His coming...  The tribulation is not going to come with a big red sign in the sky saying, The Tribulation has begun, the Antichrist is not going to stand up and say, "I am the man of perdition, please register and receive your mark today".  The purpose of my Great Deception Study once fully complete is to show people that the reality of life as we know it will continue on, there will be some changes and some events to which men will be stunned and unsure, but the Satan is going to come in like a thief in the night, He wants to be the bright and morning star, He wants to make his nest in the heavens, and he knows what we expect for Christs return.  If we are not on our peak guard, he will deceive us just like he did the Pharisees 2000 years ago.

Pretribulation or Post tribulation are an interesting debate, but they should not be grounds for acceptance or denial to be a member of a church, they should not be grounds for splitting a church and if this debate does succeed in accomodating such extremes, then Satan has succeded in splitting the body of Christ by throwing animosity in where a Divine interest in understanding Gods' word should be.  Salvation through Jesus' sacrifice is the grounds by which we are grafted into His family, His Virgin Birth, Acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, and accepting Him as our Savior make us family.  Questioning at what point we are going to leave this earth should not be grounds to eject a brother from fellowship.

Chapter 8 is completed, please use the Great Deception page to navigate to it.

The Hour of Power

• Ten Kings will rule 1 hour with the beast... Rev 17:12
• The first half hour will be peace, Silence in heaven for about a half hour... Rev 8:1
• One church, (Philadelphia) will be spared the hour of temptation... Rev 3:10, this does not explain the rapture
• We've been trained to think the tribulation will be a time of poverty, Babylon's destruction will cause the worlds merchants to morn because they have been waxed rich by her desires for luxuries and trinkets.  Satan will seduce the human race, not impoverish it!
• The earthquake of the 6th seal is the beginning of the tribulation, it is men crying the wrath of God, not Gods proclamation of His wrath being poured out.  Mountains are moved, they do not flee away, this is different from the seventh bowl earthquake.

WORLD WAR 3

I BELIEVE IT WILL USHER IN THE TRIBULATION!

The war to end all wars, will appear to be the apocalypse, the Armageddon, the war that will end all life unless a savior appears.  Anti Christ, the man of sin, the son of perdition, will fool a world of religious lightweights and non religious people alike.  He will come at the end of the war, He will speak great things, He will appear to be a loving and peaceful man, but once he has his hook set he will reel in a world of people to damnation.

The Great Deception
has finally begun

It is very important for every Christian to read their Bible, find the answers for themselves. If you are truly one of God's elect, then you should Love Him more than life itself, you will seek Him daily in scripture and prayer, and you will prepare yourselves for the times to come. - Dan Dunkin

God's omnipotence is revealed in the smallest of elemental components, the Atom displays an anomaly that stands in the face of science and physics.

Before the Advent

We are like the people of Israel of 2000 years ago, it is human nature, it is the spiritual war.  Deception has been upon us since the Garden of Eden when the deception raised questions in our minds about what God really said, and the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge would make us like God.  The very premise behind the New Age religiouns of today.

Ask yourself if this verse sounds at all familiar with people today: Isaiah 53:6 - we have turned every one to his own way; ? Sound like modern society?  Everyone is working for themselves, gathering for themselves, doing the things and seeking the entertainment that we want, buying the things that we want, and overlooking the needs of His people and reaching far, far beyond our own needs for the sake of our own indulgences. This short out take is from Isaiah 53:6 and it concerns the prophecy of the first coming of Christ and the nature of people back then.

I have redone my topic study on the rapture in an abbreviated version, it is shorter, and yet it will change because there is so much more to say.  Please read this, and consider very carefully what the Word of God says very clearly.  Interpretations are not literal out takes of scripture, but a way of putting meaning to the words.  Sometimes this goes wrong, for the people of Israel expecting a King to save them from the Romans, it was fatal.  If our interpretations stand in contradiction of literal Biblical script, then beware ye not be seduced by the good intentions and empty hopes of false interpretations.

Please be aware, I too was a believer of the pretrib rapture and my denomiation is predominantly pretrib also as are most denominations of today, however once you start listening to the Word of God instead of the word of men, a picture begins to develop over and over again throughout the Bible, specifically in the New Testament that states the rapture in a different light. Read your Bibles for yourselves and come into the light. - Dano
