| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ( I ) FALSE APOSTLES Gods� Word writes sufficiently concerning false Christs and false prophets. But what of false apostles ? In Pauls� second letter to the Corinthian church he writes; 13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. - 2 Cor. 11:13-15 In these few words, Paul uses descriptions which agree with the words of Jesus� prophecies in the gospels and the book of Revelation. Falsehood and deceit. Even Satan himself can transform into an angel of light. But he remains the devil. Satan and his workers of deceit, false Christs, false prophets and also false apostles. These are the apostles and prophets in the last days of mankind and the Christian church. An alleged restoration by God of His apostles and prophets in the last days is nothing more than a lie. Such a train of thought and mindset has its� origin with Satan. The devil is the ultimate deceiver; 16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17. That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? - Isaiah 14:16-17 Gods� spiritual foundation for His church is Christ and His apostles and prophets. Rather than an alleged restoration of any portion of His spiritual foundation taking place over the past 100 years or so, what has actually occurred is Satanic deception. Whereby the devil has gone about setting up his own spiritual foundation which deceptively tries to mimic Gods� true spiritual foundation. This work and purpose of spiritual mimicry has been the devils� mode of operation since his days as Lucifer; 12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. - Isaiah 14:12-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
