133 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 1 - Book 12 - Anti-Christ - "False Prophet"

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 12 ANTI-CHRIST - "FALSE PROPHET" Turn to Revelation 7. This seven years is primarily God dealing with the Nation of Israel; however, all the world will become involved. Remember Jeremiah 30:7? 1. The appearance of the Anti-christ when he will sign that seven-year peace treaty with the Nation of Israel, which will again kick God's time clock back in gear, as it has been stopped now all during the Church Age. God is going to seal and commission the 144,000 young Jewish men whom God will use to circumvent the globe. They won't be preaching the Gospel of Grace as we know it, but, rather, they will be reverting back again to the Gospel of the Kingdom as it was being proclaimed at the time of Christ and Peter and the eleven. There is a vast difference between the Gospel of Grace and the Gospel of the Kingdom. At that time, the Age of Grace has ended and the Church is gone. The King and His Kingdom were about to come on the scene. Of course Israel rejected that, and the King was crucified. That `until' signifies the time when He will once again deal with His Covenant people of Israel. We closed our last lesson with God sealing the 144,000 Jews (there were 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes). Remember, the reason that God set aside the Nation of Israel was to fulfill the promises of Genesis 3:15, that the Seed of the woman would come to be the Redeemer of mankind. In order to bring that to a fulfillment, He set aside the Nation of Israel, and promised Abraham that through that Nation of people would come the Messiah. So God begins to prepare the Nation of Israel for the roll of being the missionary to the nations. Exodus 19:6 says, "And ye shall be unto me a Kingdom of Priests and an holy nation." Now verse 9: Revelation 7:9,10 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, `Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb,'" In other words they had been martyred almost as fast as they had been converted throughout the Tribulation. Now verses 13 and 14. And after John sees this multitude of converted people. Revelation 7:13,14 Here we see Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit in II Thessalonians Chapter 2) identify those who cannot be saved with the message of the 144,00 during the Tribulation. II Thessalonians 2:3 II Thessalonians 2:7,8 II Thessalonians 2:9,10 Now verse 11: II Thessalonians 2:11a As we are entering into the Tribulation in this verse, we are entering in with God dealing in the supernatural. God still works in miraculous ways, but we're not living where the supernatural takes place commonly. II Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause (because this group of people have heard the Gospel and rejected it and so it is for that cause) God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a (and again I like to use the article `the') lie:" God is going to send these people "strong delusion" who have heard the Gospel and rejected it. And these will be the very first people who will proclaim the Anti-christ as the god of this world, the one they have been looking for. But the ones who have never heard the True Gospel will have a chance in the Tribulation by the preaching of the 144,000. And now verse 12: II Thessalonians 2:12 Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted (Paul writes to believers only), after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise." I Corinthians 15:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand (positionally); By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." II Thessalonians 2:10 What is the love of the truth? The Gospel. And what's the Gospel? That Christ died for my sins, was buried, and that He arose from the dead. The Bible is talking about a concerted faith and trust in that very act of God. That God Himself paid the penalty for all our sins. What was Abraham's faith? He believed God! And God counted it unto him as righteousness. I always maintain in every city that I teach, that there are multitudes who have never heard the Gospel. We even have church people who have been in my classes, who have come and said, "Les, we have never heard the Gospel before." I think the Church Age is God's main harvest as it is depicted in Israel's history, whereas the Tribulation saints are the gleaning and harvesting of the corners you remember. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
