THE ELECT ARE NOT DECEIVED

1. The prophecy of JESUS CHRIST in Matthew 24:24, is a dire warning to the CHURCH, "For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and false prophets, and shall shew GREAT SIGNS and WONDERS; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT" [Matthew 24:24] We may be familiar with False Prophets, FALSE CHRISTS are peculiar realities of the LAST DAYS. They are prototypes of the ANTICHRIST, men who were once enlightened and tasted heavenly gifts, Hebrews 6:4-6, now fallen into cesspools of iniquity in tragic simulation of Satan's error, "Thou art the ANOINTED CHERUB that covereth; ... Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE" [Ezekiel 28:14-15] FALSE CHRISTS are arrowheads of strategic satanic warfare, blending intimidating religious credentials with LYING WONDERS, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 and ensnaring multitudes to "ANOTHER JESUS" [2 Corinthians 11:3-4] They look so much like "REAL THING" and highly esteemed by men but THE ELECT ARE NOT DECEIVED,  "... for that which is HIGHLY ESTEEMED among men is ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD [Luke 16:15]

2. Presence of FALSE CHRISTS means, the TRUE CHRIST indeed came and has given us an UNDERSTANDING of "HIM THAT IS TRUE", And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an UNDERSTANDING, that we may know HIM THAT IS TRUE, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son JESUS CHRIST. This is the TRUE GOD, and ETERNAL LIFE" [1 John 5:20] The ELECT are not a denomination or separated because they pray or fast more than others but are so by having their FAITH in God underlined in "UNDERSTANDING" the revelation of God in JESUS CHRIST, "BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY and  vain DECEIT, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily" [Colossians 2:8-9] Not surprising, therefore, the business of FALSE CHRISTS is to sell "ANOTHER JESUS" to the world as CHRIST to prepare the way of the ANTICHRIST, "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" [2 Thessalonians 2:4] THE ELECT ARE NOT DECEIVED because "HIM THAT IS TRUE" is the LAMB seated on the Throne and broken the SEVEN SEALS, [Revelation 5:1-5] 

3. The SEVEN SEALS place the ELECT one step ahead of the adversary, exposing the antics of FALSE CHRISTS, "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, ...  And I saw, and behold a WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had A BOW; and A CROWN WAS GIVEN unto him: and he went forth CONQUERING, and to CONQUER" [Revelation 6:1-2] WHITE HORSE is Satan presenting himself to the CHURCH as icon of RIGHTEOUSNESS and to the world, as MAN OF PEACE. RIDER with a BOW without ARROWS symbolize CAMOUFLAGE, the defining signature of FALSE CHRISTS, "And no marvel; for SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. Therefore it is no great thing if HIS MINISTERS ALSO BE TRANSFORMED AS THE MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works" [2 Corinthians 11:14-15] The RIDER was given a Crown, signifying POWER, SIGNS and LYING WONDERS and they went "CONQUERING, AND TO CONQUER" [2 Thessalonians 2:9] We must never forget, JESUS CHRIST came to SAVE, these pretenders came to CONQUER and take CAPTIVES, "While they PROMISE THEM LIBERTY, they themselves are the SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage" [2 Peter 2:19]

4. The WHITE HORSE and RIDERS rode through all CHURCH AGES, "CONQUERING, AND TO CONQUER" and now, we now have diverse Christian colonies carved within the fold, each one governed by a Pretender to the Throne of CHRIST. Take note, those who preach CHRIST crucified do so to WIN SOULS and turn SIINERS to SAINTS. Those who proclaim JESUS to CONQUER do so to gather "SPOILS"; touting riches as FRUIT of heavenly approval,  "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ... Wherefore BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM" [Matthew 7:18,20] As the race draws to the end, the WHITE HORSE has many RIDERS for the final dash, each one with his own brand of CHRIST, one for every LUST present in man and Prophecy is fulfilled, "For the TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears" [2 Timothy 4:3] THE ELECT ARE NOT DECEIVED, knowing all these things were foretold and that our REWARD is with JESUS at His appearance and not with or in any man, "And, behold, I COME QUICKLY; and MY REWARD IS WITH ME, to give every man according as his work shall be" [Revelation 22:12] That day is closer than many imagine. Let us, therefore, WATCH and PRAY that we are not caught  unawares.
