The spirit is called Deception!

Matthew 24:1-4  Nkjv

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? 

And what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Take heed that no one deceives you. 

5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

“Don’t be deceived”. 

Is the theme of verse 4 “deceived, or deception” as warned in Matthew 24:4?

The spirit of knowledge is a powerful gift of the spirit, but if you don’t have the gift of wisdom, “knowledge without wisdom gets you nowhere.”

James 1:5 

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

The “Lord of the Spirits” sends his Holy Wisdom, and when no one receives him, he will go back to his father. Wisdom is never wasted.

In Genesis 3, we have the account of Adam and Eve not listening to the Spirit of wisdom.

Genesis 3:1-7 

The Temptation and Fall of Man

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, 

“Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ “

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasing to the eyes, and that a tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave it to her husband, who ate it. 

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they weren’t naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves [b]coverings.

They were deceived by the devil, and they lost the ability to hear the Spirit of Wisdom. When Wisdom is not received, it returns to God, who issued it. 

Let’s look at what happens when The Spirit of Wisdom is not received.

God drove Adam and Eve from the garden, a place of paradise, into a land of thorns, a place of pain. Adam loved Eve; he wouldn’t part with her.

From the time Eve was created, she ruled herself, equal to her husband, but in Genesis 3:16, Adam is commanded to rule over Eve. And from that point on, he did.

In Chapter 4, Adam and Eve are no longer in Eden. I wonder what is waiting on them beyond Eden. 

Satan said to God, I can’t get to Job because of the hedge you have around him. 

Satan wanted more than Just to kill Eve; he wanted to kill Adam. Beyond the hedge, Adam and Eve would experience what they hadn’t experienced behind the hedge.

Adam never knew what the Spirit of Murder was; he never understood there was a price to pay for being on the outside of the hedge.

Adam and Eve had two sons. Cain rose up and slew Abel. The spirit of Murder had come to Cain, and he killed his Brother.

Do you know why we have so many murders and mass killings? We have moved past the hedge.

One time we had the hedge, but it’s gone now. We valued the Spirit of wisdom, but we rejected him, and he went back to God.

Beyond the hedge, death is common. In 2020, a deadly disease was released to kill as many people as it could: 6,898,954 deaths. Why? Because we are beyond the hedge.

The rapture of the church is about to happen!

Beyond the hedge of the Lord’s church, beyond what his Holy Spirit is in

What is about to happen

Revelations 13:11–17

Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. 

It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 

13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 

14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 

15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 

16 Also, it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

In 2020, they made the COVID-19 shot mandatory. Take the shot or die, was the proclamation.

Did you hear me? If you didn’t have the shot, you couldn’t travel, enter a hospital, enter churches, businesses, schools, or take the shot.

The mark of the beast is after the rapture; right on the other side of the hedge is a pool of death.

Take the mark or die. The beast that was wounded will say, Look, I was supposed to die, but look what this has done for me. 

Take the mark or you will die. Deceived by Satan, 

Revelation 14:6-15 

The Proclamations of Three Angels

6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—

7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea, and springs of water.”

8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon [f]  is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 

10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. 

He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
