Recognizing Your Enemy Part 1
Jesus Christ Versus Antichrist
Removing The Deception

1 Corinthians 12:12
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

The body of Christ is coming together daily as men and women everywhere are awakening to the sound of truth. Pure truth that is not tainted by man’s tradition and religion is being revealed and carries a Jonah anointing on it that will change lives forever. The power that is packed by the Jonah anointing assigned to this end time revelation is enough to bring the dead church up off the streets and cause them to stand up for truth.

Revelation 11:8-11
8 And their dead bodies (the spiritually dead) will lie in the street of the great city (Babylon) which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (the church and world), where also our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. (Graves is 3419 in the Greek section of Strongs, meaning remembrance - will not remember them).
10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth (the power of the people of God is broken).
11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

At the same time the body of Antichrist is being gathered also to come against God’s people with a counterfeit anointing to pervert and destroy. Sadly both are the product of the church! How can this be? Simply stated, the body of Christ is birthed through the acceptance of truth and obedience to it whereas the body of Antichrist is founded on the refusal of truth and blind acceptance of the lies, deception and lawlessness of Satan. As the seals described in the book of Revelation the sixth chapter are being opened and “revelation” knowledge is being released through God’s revealers, the full stature of Christ is quickly coming into being through those that hunger and thirst for truth and a better knowledge of Christ.

Ephesians 4:13
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

At the same time, however, there are those that do not develop a love for truth and indeed oppose it, just as in the early church, even turning on those that are trying to present it.

John 16:2
2 “They will put you out of the synagogues yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

God will give these lawless ones over to a spirit of delusion and they will become the enemies of God and a part of the body of Satan. Unfortunately they believe the lies of Satan as they are fed false doctrine and man’s tradition through the dead church to be condemned by God.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

To turn your back on truth is to turn from Christ Himself, because He is the Word or the Truth.

John 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

We have witnessed many times that as those in leadership positions turn away from revelation, they open themselves to the spirit of error and begin to walk in opposition to Christ and His people. Again I make the point that these become a part of the body of Antichrist They are anti the anointing that is on God’s people and anti the anointing that is on the revelatory Word (the Jonah Anointing).

In the Strongs Concordance number 500 in the Greek section, it tells us the word Antichrist means an opponent of the Messiah. It is from 473, meaning instead of, or in contest to, or a substitution of 5547 - the anointing.

Sadly there are many in the church today who will not hear truth and so are in opposition to Christ. They are actually His opponents! Among us today are Apostles that start works based on ear-tickling false doctrines to build large ministries or take delight in notching their belts with invitations to preach at seminars and conferences because they are so well liked. There are also Prophets that refuse truth but continue in their gifting. These give the oracle or prophesy, tainting those they minister to, both through their counterfeit anointing and the prophetic word that comes from the wrong side or dark side of the supernatural. These are working more in the line of the world’s psychics and fortune tellers than true prophets of God! Their gifting will not be removed as they refuse truth, but you will see more of the nature and fruit of Satan manifest through them than the fruit and nature of the Lord. Satan works through the flesh of the disobedient. The works of it are:

Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Those who walk in truth and obedience will manifest the nature of the Holy Spirit and are the true servants of God.

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

But again, the gifting will still be there with right or wrong motives and even in those that do not walk in truth. This is why God says: “By their fruit you shall know them.” He did not say by their gifts you will know them. Whose fruit do they manifest?

Romans 11:29
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Matthew 7:15-18
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? (Works of the flesh? Fruit of the Spirit?)
17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

We must ask ourselves, do those we follow live moral lives? Do they exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit or do they operate in anger and rage etc., the fruit of the flesh? Are they “self” promoting and prideful, or are they humbly seeing to it that the Jesus in each person is allowed to be who He is in the fullest?

1 Corinthians 12:25
25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

When Adam and Eve traded wisdom or truth (the tree of life) for intellect or the lie (the tree of good and evil), eternity was replaced by a time-frame. God promises that at the end of this time-frame there is victory for the people of God. Until then, however, Satan for the most part can do as he wishes at least with his own people, the intellectual rebellious ones that make up his body. Satan satisfies his desire for wealth and power by living through those ones. It is a fight between the Antichrist (Satan), through his body and Jesus Christ (the Messiah), through His body. God’s holy angels will contend with the evil hosts of hell that have possessed those that make up the body of Satan however and defeat them.

Daniel 12:1
1 “At that time Michael (the archangel) shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.

When will this happen? At such a time as God’s born again people can separate from sin and even separate from those who refuse to walk in holiness. God’s people must live up to the standards set before them in scripture, obey God’s word of direction through His true prophets and be willing to change as the contents of the seals are revealed through His revealers. The revealers are given the keys of truth to open the door to eternity. It will only work for those who will receive these keys, however. Again Daniel speaks:

Daniel 12:2
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Paul advises in 1 Corinthians the fifteenth chapter:

1 Corinthians 15:34
34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

God is setting up His Kingdom and He will rule His people and His kingdom through those He has selected and chosen as His government. He will be the Head through His government and the Body through His people to come against the head and body of His opponent. At this point in time, however, the body and head of Satan has come together perfectly, whereas for the most part God’s people do not have a clue as to who those are that make up the head of Christ. They barely understand who His body is. Here is what is even more frightening! We are not nearly as united in message, method or vision as are Satan’s people either. Until we can come to the full stature of Jesus, the victory decided upon and accomplished before the earth was formed cannot be manifested into this era or our time frame. This can only happen through a united people that have knowledge of the Son and have received revelation on the full body of Christ, His head and body.

Again, let us look at Ephesians 4:13-15.
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (head and body)
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head-- Christ--

Christ is the head (through people), He is the body (through people). Satan is the head (through people), he is the body (through people). When both groups come together in unity they make up one body with a head on it: the head and body of Christ or the head and body of Satan.

Colossians 1:27
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

1 Corinthians 3:16
16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

II Thessalonians 2:9-10
9 The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Which of the above bodies do we fit into? Do we walk in truth (the Lamb) or the lie (the goat)? The Apostle John told us that the Antichrist spirit had entered the church during his time, so we see how long this spirit of lawlessness has had to shape and mold the church. You would be surprised as to how much of the church and its ministry has been developed through the intellect of Satanically influenced men and women rather than truth!

Let us look at Daniel the eleventh chapter and start reading in verse 36 to get a deeper understanding of the personality of the Antichrist spirit or the body of Satan.

Daniel 11:36
36 “Then the king (the body of Antichrist) shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath (of God) has been accomplished (by the true King, through the body of Christ) for what has been determined shall be done. (All things were completed before the earth was formed.)

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
9 That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us.

Before the foundation of the earth it was decided by God that the Lamb would die so that humanity could be set free of the curse of sin.

1 Corinthians 5:7
7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

Revelation 13:8
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Likewise the plan for our immortality was preplanned.

1 Corinthians 15:53
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

The victory has already been accomplished and is to manifest at such a time (here is a huge key) when the full stature of Christ can come together to the defeat of the body of Satan. We must be united in vision and purpose, or speak one language.

Zephaniah 3:8-9
8 “Therefore wait for Me,” says the LORD, “Until the day I rise up for plunder My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all my fierce anger all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
9 “For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, that they all may call on the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one accord.

Not the language of false doctrine and Satan’s lies.

Zephaniah 3:13
13 The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth for they shall feed their flocks and lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.”

The fact is we must see eye to eye before this victory can happen.

So let us return to the book of Daniel and continue reading in chapter 11 for another “eye” opener as to the personality of Antichrist!.

Daniel 11:37
37 “He shall regard neither the God of his fathers (now look at this) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.

He will not regard the God of his fathers (Yahweh), He will believe in the god of force or the goddess of reason that encompasses all the religions of the world. But it does tell us: “Nor will he desire women”. Why? Because he must see to it that the body stays divided. The spirit of Antichrist fears unity more than anything else because it means the body of Christ would be made perfect and be in the position to destroy him. You see, greater is the God who is in us than the god that makes up Antichrist! But the key is, He is in us, all of us. We must allow Him to call His body together and to select those He chooses to live through as the head of that body.

In our next blast we will further discuss this division.
