THE Lord Jesus Christ, speaking of the days just prior to His second coming, warned us that "there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt. 24: 24. The deceptions that are most alluring and most dangerous are those which claim to be based upon the Bible itself. We have a very cunning foe to deal with. He recognizes that it is popular in this day and age of the world to profess the name of Christ. Indeed, in many parts of the world now, it is far more popular to be a Christian than to make any other profession. The out-and-out opposer of Christianity has almost ceased. Hence Satan would come to us, as he did to our Master of old, in words of Scripture; and by distorting these scriptures in our mind, and taking them out of their proper setting, he would have us imbibe the delusion that we are following Christ when in reality we are following the great rebel leader. But those who are following Christ in reality, know Him personally; and they know His word for themselves, so that they know when any one is speaking a doctrine that is contrary to that Word. "My sheep hear My voice." God's voice in this time is expressed to the world in His written word. We must know that Word for ourselves, and follow it, if we would avoid the great deceptions and delusions in this time.
