2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Display Chapter and Footnotes   11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie; 12 So that all those might be damned who do not believe the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.2 | Matthew 24:24 Display Chapter and Footnotes   24 For there will arise false Christs and prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so much that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.3 [The false church of Babylon shows great signs and wonders, to convince those who have not been taught by revelation in their hearts by the Spirit of God as to what is the true gospel, the true hope, love vs. lust, sin vs. righteousness, turmoil vs. peace, humility vs. pride, good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, bitter vs. sweet. Since the elect have been taught by the Spirit in revelations, they see past the miracles of the false church and the false prophets; which false prophets live in, and excuse, life-long sin. Although Babylon's false prophets are very difficult to discern, the elect are not deceived.] |
