A Study on Deception

Have you been deceived?

What does the bible say:

Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Did you catch that? “…who deceiveth the WHOLE world”. Sobering thought isn’t it?

There are many deceptions that have gone out into the world and I recommend praying to the Most High for him to reveal what deceptions you’ve been under. To do this though, you need to be humble and teachable. Realizing that you’re not above having been deceived because deception has touched the WHOLE world.

Could it be that such deception has permeated far and wide? Affecting areas that we’d never imagine possible? Let’s take a look.

Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

This scripture appears to be comparing to separate groups, including one that has been deceptive about their identity.

Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”

This, according to scripture, is important. This is a prophecy that has yet to happen. What does that mean? It means that the world has been deceived in this area and that the Most High himself will do the exposing.

What could He be bringing to your attention through these passages? Take some time to reflect on these verses and spend some time in prayer regarding them. You’re in for a wild ride but as the scripture says :

John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
