“Jesuit Deception on the Rapture”

Part 1


Before ending His final days with those He called to carry the Good News of the Bible forward, Jesus addressed a serious issue with His disciples. The primary goal of teaching and sharing the Good News with others necessitated that the apostles be alerted and forewarned concerning how deception on a massive scale would occur within the body of faithful believers. The root of the problem comes from the word “deceive”. Because of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, our inborn human nature is extremely self-deceptive. Jeremiah 17:9 notes how deceitful the heart is and that it is desperately wicked. In fact, the heart is so deceitful that it will often avoid admitting it can be deceived!

These days, deceit has become the name of the game. People seem to operate under the notion that lying is acceptable under two conditions:

  1. If it does not harm anyone (impossibility). Millions will confess that white lies, of course, are harmless, and that they have told hundreds of them without any ill effects.

  2. If it helps to promote a “good” cause (usually someone’s personal agenda, career or financial situation).

We have come a long way from the days when a person’s word was their bond, or when a contract could be sealed with a handshake. Now, verbal promises are meaningless. Today they mean nothing. Advertisers fill their commercials on the radio and television with language similar to legalese in order to fend off lawsuits caused by false advertising. What has this world come to? Who speaks truth anymore and how can we know truth when we hear it?

In Genesis 3:4-5, “The serpent said to the woman, ‘You surly will not die!’ For God knows in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Scripture is replete with evidence in passages that make it clear that Lucifer is the father of lies. Satan is the master deceiver who has misled humanity from the very beginning; he is the cause of sin, disease, sickness, pain, tears, the curse of hardship, and the shame that came into the world.

As the perpetual tempter of Christians, Satan will do anything to seductively lure a Christian away from following the path of righteousness in order to cause the Christian to sin. We know that he is the accuser of the brethren -(Revelation 12:10). Lucifer and his demons cause false accusations employed by others to be directed at Christians, to hurt, condemn and to hinder their work.

Satan constantly perverts the meaning of the Word thereby creating an environment that slyly attempts to steal the truth of the Word of God from a person’s heart before it spiritually matures and bears faith-based fruit in a person’s life. Satan is the father of all lies and does so to cause confusion, doubt, disunity, and hindrance among Christians to perpetuate evil. Behind every false religion and its fraudulent doctrine lies idolatrous and occult practices that are the influencing hallmarks and deception of satanic powers.

The internet has become an incubator for false religious teachings and doctrine. As a college and seminary-trained pastor with over 50 years in ministry, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the forces of evil dominate religious and faith matters targeting and clouding clear and truthful Biblical understanding. The Internet is the newest form of far-reaching global communication but it can and has been used to deceive the unwary. None are more deceptive than the sites affiliated with and hosted or run by the Seventh Day Adventist cult members. They post numerous websites taking great care to conceal their true identity.

One of those sites bears the title, ‘World’s Last Chance’. This well-designed site covers many topics, but hides behind a veneer of religious-sounding authority sown within its subject matter. Most SDA sites either hide or obscure their identity. As a general rule, when surfing the Internet, I always encourage folks to seek a “statement of faith” or locate the website’s basic “beliefs”. Genuine Bible-based websites are not hesitant or reluctant about posting their “statement of faith”. However, the SDA cult rarely, if ever identify their sites as Seventh Day Adventist. When visiting these websites, the question that everyone should be asking is: Why do they feel a need to hide their name? What is it that causes or requires them to be so deceptive?

The ‘World’s Last Chance’ website does reveal their identity by describing themselves as a ‘remnant’ church. This means they are singling themselves out as the only ones out of the SDA cult who do have the truth. Within their article base, they indirectly establish their support for the teachings of Ellen G. White, who was a “false prophet” in many ways. Ellen G. White and her husband James were the co-founders of the SDA cult. James Springer White (husband of Ellen G. White) co-founded the SDA cult in early 1849. Also known as Elder White, James was a Freemason Lodge brother, as was Charles Taze Russell who in 1881 became the founder of the Bible Student Movement now known as Jehovah’s Witnesses, and who also adhere to a number of the SDA teachings. There are three religious bodies: The LDS (Mormon) church, the SDA church and Jehovah’s Witnesses, all possessing a rich history of involvement with Freemasonry including financial support.

In its upper degrees the secret society of Freemasonry identifies the god they worship as being Lucifer (referred to in Isaiah 14:12). The 19th degree rite and ritual of Freemasonry states that they worship Lucifer. The history of Masonic involvement in the noted three religious bodies is clearly geared toward targeting the deception of the existence of traditional Protestants. Behind Freemasons lies the Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus who were founded in 1539 by Ignatius de Loyola. In fact, it was the Jesuits at Clermont College in Paris, France, who actually wrote the upper 25 degrees of Freemasonry in 1754 for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. In the 1700’s, Clermont College was asylum for the House of Stuart, a European royal house that originated in Scotland. The highest ranks of Freemasonry and the Jesuits are often one and the same. By that I am stating that Freemasonry was the natural, the reasonable, and the only intelligent way for the Roman Catholic Church to control:

The Jesuit General [black pope] is the disembodied “eye” substituting for the pyramid’s missing capstone (referencing the capstone the builder rejected). Both Freemasonry and the Society of Jesus are:

Freemasonry is a religion, and their god is Lucifer. This fact is stated as such in their organization manual, ‘Morals and Dogma’. Lucifer is considered the good god and is revealed in the 19th degree of the rites and rituals of Freemasonry. They are notorious for their deceit in the recruitment of Christian pastors. The Southern Baptist and the United Methodist Church are two of the largest Protestant denominations infiltrated by the greatest number of Freemason membership. Very few people today are aware that the Freemasons were infiltrated by the Society of Jesus back in the middle 1700’s.

With the election of Pope Francis I acting as the “white” pope, the Jesuits have total control over the Vatican today. Jesuit Fr. Arturo Sosa was recently elected as the 31st Superior-General of the Jesuits on October 14th, 2016 and now serves as the new “black” pope. It is a totally deceitful misconception to believe that Freemasonry is antagonistic to the Jesuit-Vatican. The Jesuits infiltrated Masonry as far back as the beginning of the Jesuit Illuminati which was founded on May 1st, 1776. I grew up in a family where most of my cousins and uncles (seven of which were police officers) were also Masonic Lodge brothers. In the lower degrees of Freemasonry (where most Lodge brothers are concentrated) they are under the false impression that Jesuit-controlled Roman Catholicism are adversaries of Freemasonry. That is strictly a ruse designed to deceive the Freemasonry Lodge brothers of the lower entry degrees. Lower Lodge brothers are surprised to learn that such individuals such as: Rev. Billy Graham, Jesse Jackson, Oral Roberts, Louis Farrakhan, and the Dali Lama are or were senior degree Masons.

As soon as His disciples asked Him, “What will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus stressed the issue of deception: “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” -(Matthew 24:3-5, 11). He was describing that an increase of lying and deceit would be a hallmark of the end times and they were to listen and pay close attention so they could be on alert for its appearance.

Jesus speaks particularly of religious deception, especially of those who “Will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ’, and will deceive many”. Most likely, He did not mean those who claimed themselves to be the Messiah, but rather those who would use Jesus’ name to preach falsehoods.

Every “Christian” church in this world professes Christ as their Savior, but do they mean Jesus Christ, and do their ministers preach the truth He brought? Are many “Christians” (2 billion strong) around the world being deceived by a false gospel? For example, when a person uses the term “Christ”, which “Christ” are they referring to. The Word “Christ” is a title, meaning the “Anointed One”, but which anointed one? The deception inferred here is very subtle. When I was a seminary student, my professors would remind their students, be definitive, and address the title with the proper name and title, “Jesus Christ”. We presumptuously err in our thinking when someone uses the word “Christ”, because many deceivers have come down through the centuries claiming and using the term “Christ” but are not really referring to Jesus of Nazareth.

Not long ago, I saw a story on the Internet, claiming that a typical person tells a lie every eight minutes. That comes out to be 112 lies per a 16-hour day if one allows for eight hours of sleep. I would hope this estimate is not accurate but it does reflect a concern that one group has actually taken the time to quantify this issue that plagues all of humanity.

The apostle Paul prophesied of such an apostasy in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, 9-12, and prefaced it with a warning against being deceived: “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth that had pleasure in unrighteousness”.

I would suggest that the great apostasy may already be in full swing, spurred on by the rising tide of deception in society as a whole. With so much increasing information available -(Daniel 12:4), along with a variety of ways to manipulate it, men find it extremely easy to deceive millions instantly. Forty years ago a former CIA director admitted that it had embarked on a campaign during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s and had enlisted 400 agents to write news for public consumption which was meant to influence the media viewers. It was referenced by the term “Operation Mockingbird”. For decades, the CIA has continued to manipulate and deceive the public using mainstream media. This becomes especially true for those who do not really believe God and His Word, the true source of knowledge. Consequently, many of the brethren have fallen away after believing subtle doctrinal changes. The Jesuits use trolls who publish disinformation on the Internet with the goal of sowing seeds of doubt in the public mindset.

The “coming of the lawless one”, however, is still future. His rise to prominence and power will be accomplished by incredible miracles, but even they will be false signs and wonders. They are lies produced by Satan but meant to appear as if they originate from God –(see Revelation 13:11-15). He will use “all unrighteous deception”, a hint that when and what he does and says will appear to be righteous, yet someone who knows and loves the truth can see through it and avoid being deceived.

Satan will really ‘pull out all the stops’ to deceive as many as possible, especially the Christian community. The “lawless one” will be so slick that “all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” -(Revelation 13:8). But, as Paul writes elsewhere, if we hold fast to “the pattern of sound words” that we learned, if we guard the truth in our hearts, we will not be deceived. Paul repeated these instructions to the Thessalonian church in this context: “Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught whether by word or our epistle”. -(2nd Thessalonians 2:15).

The key to resisting deception is being convicted of the truth! The truth is what was first revealed to the apostles. As Jude 3 puts it, “Contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints”.

As they saw the first century apostasy coming, all the apostles warned there would be deceivers and urged the brethren to be certain and stick to the doctrines of God. It is our surest hedge against being caught up and off guard in the end time deceptions that are already upon us on such a grand scale.

The intent behind “hedge” laws was to ensure the observance of the basic Ten Commandments and were added protection against breaking God’s Law in the Old Testament. It was so serious that the religious leaders added 613 “hedge” laws. Apostasy did not cease but came to light within a few centuries after the apostles died when the Roman Catholic Institution revised the basic Ten Commandments given to Moses. Bible-believing Christians have always had to defend their faith while living uncompromising lives. Jude 1:3 reminded Christians to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered. The Roman Catholic Institution will tell you they did not change the Ten Commandments but that is simply not true. It was done in the fourth century by Augustine, the bishop of Hippo in North Africa. Augustine dropped the 2nd commandment completely because it dealt with idols, and then divided the 10th commandment into two commandments and renumbered his revised list of Ten Commandments. Augustine did this to get around the issue of idols, statues, and icons to support and condone their use for reverence in worship. Exodus 20:3-6 contains the written word of God on this issue. Scripture is quite clear about anyone who adds to or takes away from the Word of God. “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book” –(Revelation 22:18). Likewise, Deuteronomy 4:2 clearly notes this same point. The Roman Catholic Institution is “officially” on record for its use of deception by changing the Word of God.

In a prophecy for today, the apostle John summed up what is happening and what we need to be doing: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward”. –(2nd John 1:7-8).

It is important that you recognize the truth about the Jesuits and Freemasonry, which is a Jesuit surrogate-society in the world. Both are Luciferian in their basic belief system. The Jesuits control the Vatican today and infiltrated the Vatican power structure back in the early 1960’s. Many Catholics agree with this assessment as well. They have continued to gain control of both the political direction and the religious realm of the Roman Catholic Institution. As revealed by Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul, Jesuits and Jesuit-educated or trained individuals are the leading deceivers in the world today. They have had nearly 500 years to sow their deceit and deception within Catholicism as well as within evangelical and orthodox Protestantism.

In this segment, I have shared historical data and an overview of these two evil organizations unknown to most of the Protestant world. In Part 2 we will closely examine the background roles that the Jesuits have played while deceiving the Christian community at large. This series will expose how the Jesuits have attempted to take the public focus off church leaders and the existing belief that the pope was the Antichrist. It will further unmask how the critics of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture have themselves attempted to delude people’s thinking by teaching the world that those believing in the Rapture are deceived by a Jesuit lie! When the call went out on October 31, 1517 for the Reformation of the Church, every one of the reformers at that time viewed the pope as the Antichrist.
