There Is A Judas In The Crowd

The last supper with His disciples , an intimate affair
Judas is there, later on that night he will betray Jesus
John 13:18 LEB
18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’
foretold in the psalms
Psalm 41:9 LEB
9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
one that is close to me is going to betray me
one that is close to me will cause me severe agony. Mentally and Physically
John 13:21 LEB
21 When he had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
there is a counterfeit apostle in the crowd
but who is it ?
John 13:22 LEB
22 The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.
Matthew 26:22 LEB
22 And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I, Lord?”
the men looked round and could not imagine who it could be
all the men seemed to be loyal, trusted, followers of Jesus
Luke 22:23 LEB
23 And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
Matthew 13:24–27 LEB
24 He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while his people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat and went away. 26 So when the wheat sprouted and yielded grain, then the darnel appeared also. 27 So the slaves of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have darnel?’
Matthew 13:28–30 LEB
28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ So the slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, “No, lest when you gather the darnel you uproot the wheat together with it. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the season of the harvest I will tell the reapers, “First gather the darnel and tie it into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my storehouse.” ’ ”
the good and the bad have grown up together
but was not identified until later
Counterfeits can look very real
all of the disciples wondered if they were the counterfeit
Jesus is going to tell Peter he will fall later on that night
but Peter would not believe it
Aren't you glad that its Jesus that keeps our salvation
There are a lot of counterfeit christians
all outward appearances they look real , but are actually darnel, KJV tares
there are some religions and theology that are also counterfeit

Dominion Theology

dominion theology is becoming very prevalent today, with all that is going on in Washington
Christian reconstructionism
Kingdom now
God gave Adam dominion over the earth
Satan usurped man’s dominion over the earth through the fall of Adam and Eve
Jesus defeated Satan and took dominion back in his victory on the cross
He then gave dominion back to believers
The Church must gain control of the earth’s governmental and social institutions, and establish the Kingdom on earth
Then, and only then, can Jesus come
says that Biblical Christianity will rule all areas of society world wide
this is the next event in God’s calendar
Christianity will dominate the world and hand the new world over to Jesus when he returns
They use
Romans 8:19 LEB
19 For the eagerly expecting creation awaits eagerly the revelation of the sons of God.
This movement relies on your ignorance of the scriptures
they make their way sound very attractive. very noble, a cause you want to get behind.
a lot of the prophets you see today are pushing this type of theology
but beware
Dominionism teaches that an elite, new breed army of 'overcomers' will subdue all the enemies of Christ until they gain power and authority throughout the world. The governments of the nations will be upon their shoulders and when all the secular authorities and governments have finally submitted to them, Christ will return and they will present the Kingdom to Him.
But the Bible says differently
1 Corinthians 15:24–26 LEB
24 then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be abolished is death.
Matthew 7:14–15 LEB
14 because narrow is the gate and constricted is the road that leads to life, and there are few who find it! 15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves.
1 Kings 22
400 counterfeit prophets to 1 real
probably its the same ratio today
Jesus will return and get his bride when the Father says its time
not when the church says its time
Jesus will come and rule and reign at the end of the antichrist kingdom

New Age

an over simplified definition...
every person is a god
everything is god
there are good forces and evil forces
light and darkness cosmically ,universally ,
constant battle
for the last 6000 years the dark forces have dominated
Gnosticism
since the Garden of Eden the dark forces (God Yahweh)and His angels have tried to keep humanity in bondage
but the good god (satan) came and gave the knowledge to Adam and Eve to be like god
the new world order (controlled by Yaweh) has imprisoned humanity by causing wars
taken over govt, caused diseases and cancers and viruses to control world populations
this is what the elite has done to this world
we are entering the age of Aquarius, where the light force will be reigning
the new age has terms the are Christian, that we need to be careful about
Dark vs light
The Truth Movement
the great awakening
, Great revivals the Wesley brothers
Johnathan Edwards
in England and the colonies
2nd Great Awakening in Kentucky,Tenn, Indiana, Ohio
Charles Finney in New York and New England
The new age has hijacked this term The Great Awakening
means we need to awaken to the god within us
Expose the darkness so that humanity will embrace the light
it all about the light taking over
shadow governments being defeated The Deep State
pedophiles being punished, crime will diminish and go away
the good guys taking over the world
defeating the elites
making this world Christian like
their views and goals are like the Dominion theology people
this all sounds very Good, and noble, what everybody wants BUT
its counterfeit
The Bible says
Matthew 24:3–8 LEB
3 And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you! 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many. 6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:9–13 LEB
9 “Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name. 10 And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another, 11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many, 12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved.
2 Timothy 3:1–5 LEB
1 But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come, 2 for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 hardhearted, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, with no interest for what is good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God, 5 maintaining a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid these people.
do I want to see these people punished? yes
do I want to see the world turned upside down for Jesus? yes
does the Word of God says that will happen?
Be-careful what you watch, as far as what these prophets say
Be-careful that you are not deceived
Always put what you hear up against what Gods Word Says
