What does the Bible say about the deception that will prevail during the end times ?

Answer 1

Have you ever heard of self-fulfilling prophesy?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy
Excerpt:

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true. Although examples of such prophecies can be found in human literature as far back as ancient Greece and ancient India, it is 20th-century sociologist Robert K. Merton who is credited with coining the expression "self-fulfilling prophecy" and formalizing its structure and consequences. In his book Social Theory and Social Structure, Merton gives as a feature of the self-fulfilling prophecy:“

The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.”

In other words, a false prophetic statement — a prophecy declared as truth when it is not — may sufficiently influence people, either through fear or logical confusion, so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the false prophecy.

Excerpt:

According to the Bible the “End Times” Should Have ALREADY Occurred!

Jesus and his apostles made MANY prophecies concerning the Armageddon. Christians would have you believe that it shall come as “a thief in the night”. Yet, the Bible is rather clear concerning when it would happen. Matter of fact, the Bible consistently said it would follow soon after Jesus’ death. When you point out such verses to Christians they will try to weasel it out of it by saying Christ was talking about his “future” apostles versus the ones he was directly speaking to. All it takes is a close examinations of the pronouns used in order to see that Christ truly did believe the end times would have happened nearly 2,000 years ago. Keep in mind that the Bible claims it is “fit for reproof’ and Christianity “lives and dies on the resurrection and end times”. If we are to believe these verses and accept that the end time prophecies failed then surely the whole book is invalid.

Answer 2

A great deal! The end time church will be a "lukewarm" churchthat will be deceived into thinking that they have found the truth but will have missed it by a mile. The most deceptive teaching today is that in the last days there will be a great outpouring of God's Spirit, but that is taught no where in the Bible. The great outpouring we see today is electronic. Young people must have 500 watts per channeland crank it up until it destroys their eardrums, and they call it the outpouring of the Holy spirit. In reality it is just a plain old rock concert. There is so much scripture I really don't know where to begin but I suggest you readGod's word and seek for the truth. Romans 11, I Cor 10, Timothy, Thessalonians Revelation 3, 2 Cor 10. Matt 24, 25

1 Cor 10 tells us there are four symptoms that we have entered the end time church.
1 The church will become a"singing church"
2 The church will get away from the Bible
3. The church will love the world (its education, fashions entertainment, goals, etc)
4 The church will permit everyone to have their own form of worship.

Answer 3

From my fact, it would look that a super many so called fundamentalists, even maximum pulpit preachers, merchandise the sheep, flock, congragation. They positioned on a conceal yet no longer of His spirit, that they might upload sin to sin. There are fake instructors right this moment, in basic terms as there have been fake instructors for the time of Christs time. we are to attempt the spirits to verify in the event that they are of God, to no longer be lead off course, by their crafty craftyness the place they lie in wait to mislead. maximum do no longer even open their Bibles and learn daily to rightly divide the be responsive to actuality. The seperation of church and state, is biblical. In essence what has been finished, is that by receiving a tax exemption prestige, they are worshiping mammon and not God. If the church employer would not take the 501(c)3 mark, they are going to be dissolved. for this reason they have grew to become the fact in fables. now no longer have they have been given rejoice with from the salt, and are sturdy for no longer something execpet to be trampled under by the foot of adult adult males.

Answer 4

1) The world will move towards globalism
2) Religions will try to unite and find "common ground"
3) Antichrist will arise and lead both numbers 1 and 2 (a one world goverment with a unified monetary system, and a one world religion)

The deception will be that people will actually believe that all religions lead to heaven.

But Jesus said that He is the only way to heaven.

Answer 5

Revelation 18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

"...Sorceries were all men deceived.". Stay away from people who claim to know your future!

GOD bless

Answer 6

If it were possible, even the elect could be decieved. Those who are sold out to Jesus will endure to the end.
