The delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2:11 has already gripped multitudes of those whose names are not written in the Book of life of the Lamb³². To many Christian leaders who say, “Lord! Lord!”, Yeshua will answer, “I never knew you.”³³ The “Man of Lawlessness” shall seduce with flattery all those who VIOLATE THE [G-d’s] COVENANT³⁴. Hence, not only Jews but also “Christians” who know G-d’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob concerning the inheritance of the Land shall be condemned..

Another “Christian” leader holding sway over many millions of Catholics has just been elected as the new Pope, Benedikt XVVI. Not only is he a BAVARIAN German (Bavaria was the hub of the most zealous Nazis), but also an ultra-conservative who wants to restore the Church of Rome to her “former glory” and Rome’s rule over Jerusalem. While soft-spoken and meek-mannered, he strongly resembles the great Inquisitor who ruthlessly “interrogated” all who opposed Rome. Could he be the last pope, believed by many millions to represent and speak on behalf of the Lamb of G-d, while actually speaking on behalf of Satan?³⁵

His predecessor visited Israel and signed covenantal agreements with Israel -- AND the PLO³⁶. As “representative of Christ” he had no qualms to meet with Yeshua’s and Israel’s sworn enemy, Yasser Arafat. What then will this pope do? 

To which Jerusalem will the King of Israel return – to a Catholic one, an Islamic one, or to the capital of His people and nation, Israel?

The days of slumbering and compromise are long past. We must stand firm and take action, although doing so may cost some of us our lives³⁷. The winnowing fork is in the Lord’s hand, ready to separate the wheat from the chaff, preparing the former for glory and the latter for eternal fire.

We must choose whom we will believe – G-d or Satan? With whom will we side – with the truth or with a lie and compromise? And what path will we opt for --- the broad way where many people walk, or that narrow, difficult trail few are taking?

Let us  take a firm stand for truth. The broad way of ease and compromise leads to destruction, but the narrow path of uncompromising truth and love of the Lord leads to life.

Choose this day whom you will follow – and choose life!

Yours in Him,
