AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this God will send upon them a misleading influence, [an activity of error and deception] so they will believe the lie, |
Subject: Deluding influences and itching ears. |
Bible Note: Once again this verse has "captured" my attention: Having just read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, and after a little web searching it seems to me that there are many "deluding" influences that the Lord may employ in these "last days" to achieve His purposes. The influence of this thinking, its secret nature and the enticement of its power are indeed strong motivators. I suspect that there may be a unifying connection (antichrist) between the Priory of Scion, Knights Templar, Free Masonry and the Illuminati, to name a few. . . the suggestion that there are many individuals in positions of power and influence around the globe who belong to these organizations is chilling, to say the least! (Frankly, it is exciting as I see prophecy being fulfilled 2 Tim 4:3-4!! I think that we as believers have missed something here because how often do we attach this Scripture to those in our midst who do not share OUR doctrinal position?!) Stand firm - hold onto the Gospel of Truth, for our Lord is indeed coming and His reward is with Him! (Heb 11:6; Rev 22:12) mommapbs |
