Don't be deceived by lies
Revelation (31) Do not be deceived by lies
(Revelation 6:1-2)
<Who is the ‘man on the white horse’? >
How will the church age end? No one knows for sure. The church age can end when the church is taken up to heaven in the way of the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4), or the church age can end in other mysterious ways. When will the church age end? No one knows the exact date. However, since the present is the last time of the Church Age, sooner or later the Church Age will end in a mysterious way and the Tribulation Age will begin after that.
Some see it as 'Jesus Christ'. Because riding a white horse seems to symbolize something good. However, the appearance of the Lord in the form of a conqueror in the early days of the tribulation does not fit the situation. Also, the expression that the Lord of eternal power is not “overcoming” but “overcoming and trying to win” is also an expression that is not correct in nature. In the end, it is more reasonable to think that the ‘conqueror on a white horse’ in the text is the Antichrist.
<Don't be deceived by lies>
How do you develop discernment? When a false shepherd incites emotionalism to drive the saints insane and irrational, discernment is markedly diminished. So, if you go to a certain meeting and suspect that the meeting leader is trying to encourage emotionalism by force, you must raise the alarm of your soul and try not to lose your reason. However, the constitution of the cross is important because it can cause a moment of loss of reason. You can protect yourself from evil, Satan, and the Antichrist only if you can overcome the instincts of externalism, meritocracy, and successism through a life that is embodied in the cross.
How many saints are deceived by the false Messiah and false shepherd? It is a problem to be deceived by a heretical sect that claims “I am the Messiah!” but it is also a problem to pursue money, power, and success like an idol. It is also a problem to follow people who advertise themselves as having spiritual powers and gifts like idols. If we do not keep away from such fake Messiahs and idols, the Holy Spirit leaves us and we live with only animal instincts, and God's judgment comes like a trap. Therefore, you must be alert and protect yourself from all the fakes that deceive the soul.
How many times has the Korean church been ridiculed for being deceived by someone like <Pulsi Colle>? Persie Collet said that she had been to heaven, and his book, The Heaven I Saw, was once a bestseller. No one in the world recognizes him, but only in Korea, he made a name for himself and gave various lectures in heaven. After being so deceived, how many people were disappointed when his identity was revealed one by one?
According to the testimony of a believer who served as a Korean secretary for Persie Colle, the church of 2,000 members he claims and the mission college that he claims to attend 750 were all fake. He didn't go to church, and he didn't even read the Bible for a long time, so the Bible was covered in dust. When people ask why they don't go to church on Sunday, they say, "What kind of church do people who have gone to heaven need to go to?"
At that time, the wind of delusion from Persie Colle and Dami Mission was revealed to be false and eventually calmed down, but the aftereffects were great. At that time, the deceived saints suffered great wounds. Also, those who have been so deceived often think that the normal church life is plain and do not do well and fall into such delusion again after a while. Therefore, from the beginning, we must be alert and cultivate discernment through the Word so as not to be deceived by mysticism and lies.
