The Camouflaged Anti-Messiah (Christ) Spirit
“Yahveh God prophesied through Jeremiah of a time of rampant deception that would result in great spiritual apostasy, the falling away and departure from biblical truth at the end of the age””
Through this teaching, the Holy Spirit is speaking to the beloved Gentile “ingrafted wild olive branches” who have forgotten to “remember” Paul’s admonitions and warnings specifically spoken to them (Romans 11:17). Many vital biblical mandates have gone untaught and unheeded. This left an open door for “replacement theologies” and man-made doctrines and traditions to indeed replace much biblical truth. This undetected deceptive agenda of Satan, perpetuated falsehood from generation to generation. Inevitably, this has led to a prevalence of empty “forms of religion”, no longer based on the Holy Root and ancient foundation of biblical truth (2 Timothy 3:5, Romans 11:18). Yahveh God prophesied through Jeremiah of a time of rampant deception that would result in great spiritual apostasy, the falling away and departure from biblical truth at the end of the age. He said, “The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, worthlessness and unprofitable things” (Jeremiah 16:19). This “form of godliness [religion]”, apart from the Holy Spirit, becomes a self righteous religious spirit because it is not rooted in the Hebraic root of the Word of God and is not worshipping our Father, the God of Israel, “in spirit and in truth” (2 Timothy 3:5, John 4:24).
In his loving obedience to be “a minister of Messiah Yahshua to the Gentiles”, Paul proclaimed to them his commission - “that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.” Paul continued saying that this will result “in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed” (Romans 15:16,18b). He cautioned them to be on guard against Satan’s schemes of deception. Paul was exhorting them to take heed and be on guard against inherent anti-Semitic, Gentile supremacy, against the Holy One of Israel’s Jewish people, whom they are blessed to be united together with as “one new man”. This “revealed mystery” is to continually ascend as praises, honor, and glory to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and His Son, “the Lamb of God” who takes away, covers, and forgives our repentant sins (Ephesians 3:6, 2:14-16, John 1:29). HalleluYAH!
“Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light; Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants [and preachers] of righteousness” through “seducing spirits” and “doctrines of demons””
The Apostle was well aware that Satan would try to deceive the Gentiles by taking them off the holy Hebraic root, replacing pure biblical truth with distortions and man made traditions. Paul was shown that the Enemy would come in like “savage wolves”, “evil men and imposters who will precede from bad to worse deceiving and being deceived” “distorting the truth” (Acts 20:29, 2 Timothy 3:13, Galatians 1:7). He explained, “It is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light; Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants [and preachers] of righteousness” through “seducing spirits” and “doctrines of demons” (2 Corinthians 11:14, 1 Timothy 4:1). Paul was grieved that many of the Gentiles would become compromised and leave Yahshua (Jesus), their “first love” and would no longer seek and obey the pure Word and will of their God and Savior (Revelation 2:4). With great sorrowful discernment, he said, “the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but … they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, and they will turn their ears away from the truth” (2 Peter 4:3-4). Consequently, the holy root and foundation of their faith would be polluted with Satan’s inspired man-made doctrines and traditions.
“The pervasive deception that the Gentiles have replaced the Jews in the God of Israel’s biblical will and eternal plan of salvation is nothing less than a blatant satanic lie that so many have fallen prey to and have pridefully believed””
Paul previewed how anti Semitism would take a deceptive form called “replacement theology”. The lie of replacement theology, is truly a camouflaged anti-messiah spirit becoming more and more prevalent throughout the Gentile age of professing believers. The pervasive deception that the Gentiles have replaced the Jews in the God of Israel’s biblical will and eternal plan of salvation is nothing less than a blatant satanic lie that so many have fallen prey to and have pridefully believed. Additionally, “replacement theology” points to many replacements of the holy Hebraic biblical root with an unholy paganized root system, such as replacing the biblical Holy Days with traditions, customs, and unholy days of the pagans in the worship of their gods. This root is an unholy mixture of truth and falsehood. These hard realities are not to be offensive to any person or background because in Messiah we are one. “The Spirit of truth” is pointing out we have an Enemy and he has worked insidiously in and through Christianity. Shockingly this systemic poison of “replacement theology”, at this late hour, has infected a vast majority of Christianity and its various denominations worldwide. The Lord Yahveh said, “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, [replace it]” “or I will prove you a liar”. (Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6) Yahshua (Jesus) said, “no one who practices falsehood will enter His messianic kingdom” whose twelve gates, have written on them “the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel” and on the twelve foundation stones of the New Jerusalem are written, “the twelve names of the twelve [Jewish] apostles of the Lamb” (Revelations 21:12,14 22:15).
“Gentile pride has stood so long, so strong, and so wrong, that many Gentiles believers will must rise up in righteous indignation to fight with repentance against this inherited deception that “rises up against the knowledge of the one true God and Savior” and His divine design for salvation for both Jew and Gentile””
As much as Paul loved His Gentile brethren in Messiah, he said “… inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if somehow I may move my own [Jewish] people to jealousy and save some of them” (Romans 11:13-14). Paul expressed these words regarding His Jewish brethren, “I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Messiah for the sake of my countrymen, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites” (Romans 9:2-4). At the cost of his life Paul was stating, “he would lay down his salvation for the Jews.”
“Paul the apostle to the Gentiles said, “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin [undefiled by sin and the flesh’s desires for the world] to [the Jewish] Messiah. But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Messiah””
Paul also loved the Gentiles with the love of Yahshua (Jesus) who died for them. As the chosen Jewish apostle to the Gentile believers, he expressed the purposes for which he was sent specifically to them. His voice spoke then and continues to speak through the centuries to this generation of non Jewish believers, “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin [undefiled by sin and the flesh’s desires for the world] to [the Jewish] Messiah. But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Messiah” (2 Corinthians 11:2-3). Indeed, the Serpent did deceive many Gentile believers over the ages. Messiah said, “If you love Me you will obey Me and you will do the will of My Father” (See John 14:15). So many have not intimately known the true God and Savior because they did not “hunger and thirst for righteousness” and they “took lightly such a great salvation” and “trampled the blood” of the Lamb rather than upholding it though obedient righteous living (Matthew 5:6, Hebrews 2:3, 10:29). Many newborn spiritual babies did not “crave the pure spiritual milk of the word” and never developed an appetite for the meat of the word (1 Peter 2:2). Consequently, they stay in the flesh, they don’t develop spiritually, and they have a superficial knowledge tainted with doctrinal error. They never mature spiritually bearing the image of the Savior and therefore they cannot fulfill the Father’s perfect will, “to worship Him in Spirit and uncompromised truth” (John 4:24).
“The churches are filled with so many malnourished undeveloped believers in our God and Savior. What a grief to the Heavenly Father and what an eternal loss for multitudes who are clueless that they are deceived by a counterfeit religious spirit that is leading multitudes on “the broad path of destruction”
Yahshua’s words spoken to the religious leaders and people of His day speak loudly to our hearts in this time of spiritual apostasy. He proclaimed, “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” (Matthew 15:8-9). The churches are filled with so many malnourished undeveloped believers in our God and Savior. What a grief to the Heavenly Father and what an eternal loss for multitudes who are clueless that they are deceived by a counterfeit religious spirit that is leading multitudes on “the broad path of destruction”. Yahshua (Jesus) emphatically stated, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The Heavenly Father has great sorrows, as He looks at the overall church system and sees a spiritual morgue filled with multitudes of believers who never grew up in the Spirit and died in the flesh. “Flesh and blood does not enter the kingdom” and they will not (1 Corinthians 15:50). Do we mourn for the ones who are dying physically or do we mourn over the ones who are dying spiritually?
Yahshua (Jesus) in speaking to the various congregations in the book of Revelation said, ’I know your deeds, that you have a name [you belong to a church you say you are a believer in God you say] that you are alive, but you are dead. Be constantly alert, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Then if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, … But you have a few people … who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way, in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life” (Revelation 3:1-5).
There are many who have been taught erroneously and have been ignorant of certain biblical mandates, yet you love Him. It is not too late, the blood is on the heavenly altar. “Yahveh is merciful” and “Yahshua (Jesus) is full of truth and grace”. He says compassionately but powerfully, “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man [Yahshua, the Jewish Messiah] whom He has appointed …” (Ephesians 2:4, John 1:14, Acts 17:30-31).
Therefore let us heed these words of Yahshua (Jesus), Repent, repent “repent, for the kingdom of heaven, is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). “Even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” Therefore, take heed you must “bear fruit in keeping with true repentance” (Matthew 3:10. 3:8).
