Christians believe the end times will have massive deception but they dont believe our Govt could ever do it ?

Answer 1

It could easily be our Government, that would raise up to be the one world government, but it would more likely be the United Nations.

Much of the destruction prophesied in Revelation, though, is not from anything controlled from this world, and some simply because man is out of control such as Rev 16:8 could be caused by global warming.

Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

Answer 2

Generalizations are seldom accurate.

I am a Christian. Can I take it that by 'our Govt' you mean the government of the U.S.? We have a unique government, a great experiment ... "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." - Abraham Lincoln.

Since its inception, this question has been raised. Can this type of government withstand? Can it work?

We have had many instances of abuse in our government. Many times of which we, as a nation, are not proud. But that is the very nature of our government - every mistake, every mistep is shown in brilliant relief against the white light of freedom and democracy. The world knows every misdeed we do.

However, I am still proud to be an American. We are a giving people. We are a helpful people. We live together, for the most part, in harmony. We have incorporated many differing points of view, religions, ethnicities, etc. Arab lives next door to Jew, no fighting, no bloodshed.

We have our problems, and we should strive to solve them. But for the most part, we here are blessed beyond belief.

So, in answer to your question, yes our Government is capable of mass deception, but our Government is made up of flawed humans. I still love my country, with all its flaws.

Answer 3

Thats because everyone believes in the system, that says the government will protect them

just like in 9/11 they believe the government could never do it as it's hear to protect them

they believe in the system

it's a shame the system does not believe in them

which is why the goverment could never be at fault

i guess it was some colombians that broke into the water gate hotel

Answer 4

Any thinking person that is Christian KNOWS the governments are in the pocket of the devil.
When Jesus was tempted in the desert, Satan used all the kingdoms of the world as a bribe. Which thing he could NOT have done, if he didn't have them.
The massive deception we have been seeing, is the rise of philosophies, and the liberalization of the Church. A liberal church is a compromised church.

Answer 5

The Church's ultimate trial (from the Catechism Of The Catholic Church):

CCC 675 - Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

CCC 676 - The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatalogical judgment. The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism, especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism

CCC 677 - The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection. The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven. God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgment after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world.

Answer 6

It's more likely that the deception is in the form of modern "Born again" Christianity, hypocritical pastors and money grabbing Christian organisations.

Didn't revelation warn of a beast even greater than the devil that would rise up from the depths of the Earth? What if "the depths of the Earth" was metaphorical for Christianity as a whole?

Answer 7

You need to quote your source of information.

Of course the government is capable of deception, anyone who knows history and pays attention to current events can figure that out.

Why are you targeting Christians?

Answer 8

It is easy to understand how man gets caught up in the "Clouds of Illusion".

A person can understand the symptoms, yet they never look to discover the cause.

Not seeing the forest for the trees. Is there "Truth" in this statement?

If a person goes to the carnival or circus, they sometimes get so caught-up in the side shows that they miss the "Main Event".

May we all find the "Light of Truth", for that is what will destroy the "Ocean of Illusion" which lies within man.

Answer 9

The massive deception in the Bible is caused by false prophets & teachers & lying signs & wonders.

Answer 10

They don't?
Roughly 90% of Christians live outside the USA.
