Good morning. Scripture reading this morning is taken from the book of Acts.

Acts 20 Verses 17 through 31. Acts 20 17 through 31. For Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. And when they had come to him he said to them, you know from the first day that I came to Asia.

And what manner I always lived among you. Serving the Lord with all humility with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews. How I kept back nothing that was helpful, but but proclaimed it to you and taught you publicly and from house to house.

Testifying to Jews and also to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And See now I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem not knowing the things that will happen to me there.

Except that the Holy Spirit Testifies in every city saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me nor do I count my life dear to myself. So that I may finish my race with joy in a ministry Which I received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

And indeed Now I know that you all among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God will see my face no more. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock Among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to shepherd the Church of God which he purchased with his own blood. For I know this that after my departure Savage wolves will come in among you not sparing the flock.

Also from him from among yourselves men will rise up speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

May the Lord add his blessing to the reading and hearing of his Holy Word and let us praise our Lord and.

Stand to sing. Oh Lord my rock and my Redeemer. I invite you to take your Bibles and turn with me to the gospel of Matthew.

The gospel of Matthew and we're gonna be in Matthew chapter 24, so first book of the New Testament Matthew chapter 24 and a very warm Mother's Day welcome.

Amen.

False Christs, Deception, and the Signs of the Last Days

Very often on Mother's Day, I preach a Mother's Day message. Sometimes I preach a Father's Day message on Father's Day. But then sometimes, you know in a church there might be mothers. There's ladies that aren't mothers yet.

Right, and they feel bad. In fact in our church for many years we had a lady that longed to be married and have kids and she never. Lord just never opened that door and she told me once, you know, I feel kind of bad on it.

So I didn't preach a Mother's Day message for a couple of years, you know.

And.

It's it's funny because I knew it was Mother's Day. I was planning for Mother's Day, but all I can think about is this series that we're on. Stand firm in the last days, right? That was that's been my my focus and.

I.

Just have to warn you some of you are old enough to remember that famous commercial. That famous commercial that changed the way we think about cars. Remember that commercial this is not your father's Oldsmobile.

How many remember that? There's those little cultural Points in our lives right where everything is redefined. I remember When we talked about the generation gap, do you remember that? When all the teens and college kids were talking about the generation gap.

You remember the peace sign and then it grabs the culture and then it fades away. Well, this is not Your Mother's Day message your typical Mother's Day message if you looked at your notes. One of the things interesting is when we talk about the last days if you go back in contemporary modern church history.

When there's a Bible conference literally by far the most common Bible conference the one that is most attended by the most people are prophecy conferences. People want to know about the future. They want to know what the Bible says they want to plan.

Well, I can tell you Lumber is going up in the last year lumber has gone up 300 Can you imagine a 200 square foot deck a year and a half ago cost 900 in lumber right now. It's $2 ,700 for that 200 square foot deck.

Bible prophecy conferences have always been the most popular that people want to know. What does the Bible tell me about the future? How can I prepare? So in honor of Mother's Day this morning we're gonna take a one-Sunday detour from 2nd Timothy and we're gonna study a single topic about prophecy just one aspect of prophecy and Keep in mind.

We're in this ongoing study on helps or tools that we find in God's Word that will help us Stand firm in difficult times, right? That's what we're studying. And you remember that we've seen that Timothy and the early church and Ever since the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We are living in a period in history that the Bible calls the last days, right? That's that's God's timeline of history. Our scripture reading that Dave did such a good job on was taken from the Apostle Paul's last Warning last meeting with the elders from the church at Ephesus now keep in mind Timothy was a pastor where in Ephesus and the Apostle Paul when he was in Ephesus as far as we could tell he stayed in Ephesus three years.

Now Thessalonica, he stayed there less than two weeks when you read the book of Galatians. He was in that area. There's four or five churches. Possibly that he started in that area of modern-day Turkey.

He was in that area for about a year and a half in Ephesus he was there for three years and he tells the Ephesians elders as he says Goodbye to them as he said he says I did not stop warning you night and day with tears, right.

And Timothy was in that group and We're studying what book 2nd Timothy Paul's last will and testament to Timothy and Paul says to the elders and Timothy was there. Most likely as far as we can tell he says take heed to yourselves and all the flock among you.

This is a charge to pastors and elders. Take heed to yourselves and all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to shepherd the Church of God. Which he purchased with his own blood.

Listen carefully. They've just read them for I know I Know that after my departure Savage wolves will come in among you not sparing the flock also from among your very selves. Men will rise up speaking perverse things.

To draw the disciples after themselves if you know anything at all about the history of the Jehovah Witnesses, that is exactly how the Jehovah Witnesses was founded a Sunday school teacher that did not like the doctrine of hell and Started teaching in a Baptist Church that hell didn't exist a loving God would not create a place like that.

Left and started the Jehovah Witnesses. Okay, so the warning is right the warning is that men will rise up speaking perverse things speaking things in such a way to draw away the disciples after themselves and one of the things that has been happening in the church since it began has been the influence of false teachers and You might recall that when we started that series on standing firm in the last days I went through a bunch of scriptures.

How many remember that your fingers got tired you complained John and one of the passages that I read from is here in Matthew 24 and Jesus is talking about the conditions in the world and in the church During the last days and I want to call your attention specifically to Matthew 24 verse 3.

Remember this the disciples came to him privately saying tell us When will these things be what he had been talking about watch carefully and What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age now?

Are you with me here? Jesus came once right? Understand the scripture is absolutely clear that Jesus that a Messiah would come from the line of David. He would be born of a virgin. He would come from Bethlehem.

You understand. That's what the scripture teaches. Please listen to me over 300 path prophecies 300 plus. Last time I checked they're up to 330 some of them. I don't know how they get them but a minimum of 300 specific prophecies related to a Messiah that would be born in Bethlehem by a virgin, right.

Those 300 prophecies spoken over the course of the history of the Old Testament those 300 prophecies were fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. Okay, so the same Bible that talks us to tells us about the first coming also tells us about what?

The second coming, okay. That's what they're wondering about. Wait a minute. What's gonna be the sign of your coming? Look at verse 4 Jesus answered and said to them. Take heed That no one deceive you.

For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will deceive how many? Yeah, just a few people now stay with me here. If you've ever doubted that a personal Antichrist could come into the world and deceive people.

You aren't reading your Bible and you aren't looking at history. Because what's happened in our country in the past year and a half two years and the world you want to talk about deception. And let me add to that.

What does the world commonly look for to solve its problems a? Leader, you know when things get really bad when the economy is bad and it comes time for an election. What's everybody looking for a President that will fix everything or a prime minister.

Am I not right? Come on. You need to understand this because of this warning. Take heed that no one deceives you for many. Will come in my name saying I am the Christ. Now there is a lot of different warnings or I'm sorry a lot of different views among Christians about what is going to be going on in the last days as The return of Jesus Christ gets closer and closer.

But there's one thing that all biblical Christians agree on and that is that Jesus is coming again. Now all of the events between now and then there's some disagreement and debate. Okay?

Deception a.

Warning to believers about being deceived by men who will say I am the Christ. Now look What comes next? Verse 15. Therefore When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet Standing in the holy place whoever reads let him understand.

This verse and many others are pointing to a single false Christ. Look what it says in verse 5. Many will come in my name saying I am the Christ right? That's many. Claim to be Jesus Christ, right? Now we come to a single verse 15 when you see the abomination of desolation Spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place, right?

These verses and many others are pointing to a single false Christ. Now look at verse 23. Then if anyone says to you look here is what the Christ or there don't believe it for false Christ's plural and false prophets plural will arise and Show great signs and wonders to deceive if possible even the elect.

See I.

Have told you beforehand that verse should be underlined in your Bible. Because Jesus is warning us that many false Christ and see in our little cocoon of Christianity. We don't understand that around the world even in the United States.

Throughout history there have been men show up on the scene that say I am the second coming of Jesus Christ. Okay Paul warned the Ephesian elders Night and day for three years about the danger of being deceived.

Jesus warns Christians about being deceived and This morning one of the tools that Jesus Christ has given believers when it comes to living in the last days is this? Warning about false Christ and being deceived and verse 15 specifically warns about a man that the Bible calls the Antichrist capital a that's why your message title says what the Antichrist, right?

Now, let's go to second Thessalonians. I'm not going to jump around too much. So warm up your fingers a little bit if you need to Second Thessalonians right before second Timothy, right? You're gonna find Thessalonians.

First Thessalonians and second Thessalonians, right? What today is is kind of a primer a Very condensed readers digest if you still remember that I used to read that thing. I got I had a subscription to readers digest.

Didn't you love that drama in real life? Remember those I couldn't wait. And what was that vocabulary thing? There was always 20 words. Was it 20 or 10? Was it 22? Man? I used to love that magazine. I Used to love that.

What a fun magazine that used to be. So you see the message title the Antichrist. This is a primer an introduction. We're trying to learn what it means to stand firm in the last days. And one of the things that we may face in our very own lifetime.

Is.

The arrival of the Antichrist. It could happen Prophetically if you go through scripture as far as I can tell and people a lot more intelligent and educated than I am. There is nothing prophetically that needs to be fulfilled.

I Mean the Gospels gone around the world, right? Israel's a nation you can go down the line it appears that Jesus literally could come back at any time and before he does that an Antichrist will come a single antichrist that will claim to be the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Who will do great miracles and will possibly even deceive? Do you listen to what I'm saying the elect people like you and I? We need to be prepared we need to understand we need to know right and God has given us those tools.

How do you stand firm? How do you stand firm in the power of the gospel right in the last days one of them is through understanding? What God tells us about this person called the Antichrist? All right, let's pray Father I thank you for this day and for the time in your word today I pray that you would open our eyes of understanding Lord.

We need that. We need the Holy Spirit to be our teacher. We asked this father that That you would be glorified God that Christ would be exalted and give you all the praise all the glory in Jesus name.

Amen. So if you're in second Thessalonians, it's a letter that is written by the Apostle Paul to believers in a little town called Thessalonica. He was run out on a rail. He was there maybe at the most nine days and a lot of people under under his ministry got saved.

And he's writing in this second letter. Very similar to 2nd Timothy very similar to 2nd Peter. He's writing to encourage believers a church. That that in this case they were being afflicted and heavily persecuted and when he comes to chapter 2 in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 he begins to he turns to giving instructions on on how to prepare and and be ready for life in the last days and Specifically in this case he is talking about a period in Biblical history that scholars refer to listen carefully and you might want to take just a couple of notes I left a little bit of space between each outline point.

Specifically in a period of history on that timeline of the last days that scholars refer to as the end times.

Okay.

The end times are towards the end of the last days. So we're getting very close in the end times right to the second coming of Christ. Now notice what Paul says in verse 1 Now brethren concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is he talking about there the second coming not the first coming? Jesus has already come. So are we all on the same page? Jesus is coming again. Okay, that is what's called a fundamental of the faith.

You're supposed to go yeah when I go like that Jimmy come on. Yeah, you don't have to go like that. You just but at least a jerk of the head, right? Yeah, Debbie. Are you with me?

Okay. Amen. Good.

Ramiah you there? Okay.

Dave.

Katie yeah, first coming second coming we can count. And are gathering together to him. That's a proof text for what's called the rapture but that's a whole nother two week series five weeks seven week.

We ask you look at carefully. Not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us as Though the day of Christ had come. Please look carefully at verse 3. Let no one Deceive you by any means.

Oh, do you think maybe God's warning us? We might be deceived. You're supposed to go. Yeah, come on. Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, we might be you mean the elect you mean Christians might be to say you mean those that go to church every single Sunday might be deceived the answer. Yes, you mean those that read their Bible every day?

I'm yes. Jesus is coming again.

And.

Paul warns in verse 2 don't be soon shaken. Don't be troubled in your mind by spirit or word by letter as if from us as as if the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means. Church, please.

Listen to me one of I shouldn't say I should say a very.

Respected.

Nationally known Bible teacher 15 or so years ago came out and said that Jesus had come back in 70 AD and Walked the earth.

How about that?

Nationally known on the radio. Is it possible that you and I might be deceived by a person that comes and says I am Jesus Christ. I am the second coming answer. Yes. So, how do we stand firm and not be deceived we have to know What God warns us about this person called the Antichrist this man, okay, and that's what this is about a primer.

So Paul is not talking here About many Antichrist that have risen risen up over the course of church history, but rather a single Antichrist that will rise up above all others and In history as a world leader during the end times right last days end times.

Second coming so we're towards the end of the last days, right and it's just before Jesus returns in both first Thessalonians and second Thessalonians and time events like the return of Jesus Christ the day of the Lord and The Antichrist were apparently very hot topics on their mind.

Okay. So I want to give us this introductory look at The man the Bible refers to as the Antichrist like second Timothy. Paul's real emphasis in this letter is on being equipped and being prepared and being ready to live in the last days and in particular that period of time towards the end of the last days that Bible scholars talk about and Refer to as the end times, right?

Now we've seen how God's Word clearly teaches that as the return of Jesus Christ gets nearer and nearer in the last days. We know from all the reading we did some weeks ago when we started this series, right?

That as the return of Jesus Christ gets nearer and nearer Right in the last days what the world will get what worse and worse the overall curve of morality murders wars Rumors of wars. Do you think that they've elevated some barb since you were a little girl?

Victor 84. What was the birthday? Oh, sorry. You can slap me after.

81.

Well, we've got 85 and 86 in our church, so I'm always thinking low 80s. Understand that there is a point in history coming in the period of human history. At the end of the last days that is referred to by scholars as the end times towards the end of the last days of human history as we know it a Number of events are going to occur.

One of which is the rise of this world to world wide. Prominence of a person that the Bible calls the Antichrist and you say how could that happen? That could not happen 50 60 years ago before we had these things.

Do you understand that? I mean the spread of information and disinformation is Global now because of these things and because of what the Internet. I Talked to a guy an unbeliever yesterday. Tried to turn that the the conversation to a gospel conversation and and one of the things he told me is, you know he says I'm not a you know, I'm not into conspiracies and all that and and.

But he said, you know, what's amazing is, you know, we're all locked in our head. Listen, this is an unbeliever. We're all locked in our houses. And the only thing we've got is streaming. So we're all listening to the same thing.

And that interesting an unbeliever and I said to him this is how this is the point at which I turned it to the gospel. I said, yeah, that's why I'm so thankful that I'm a Christian that I know God, you know, because We understand that we can trust in him and and and just conversation just turned he believes in God, but not a believer so.

Understand human history has its share of evil leaders, right? For example the first century when Timothy was living we had Nero and we had a number of other Roman Emperors one much worse than Nero. We have a guy by the name of Domitian man, he was.

He was bad. The 20th century hosted a ton of evil dictators the two most notorious who Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Furthermore for perspective Man's religious history has also been plagued by false Christ false teachers cult leaders.

Swami's one of the one of the kids at church at school this week asked me about the Jonestown Massacre do you know that over 800 people drank that cyanide poison and He started out as a Baptist preacher.

I mean, I think it was 300 children Died by drinking that concoction that Kool-Aid. We looked it up because I couldn't remember how many died. In Ghana, you all know about that Jonestown. Yeah, so wolves in what sheepskin clothing.

But here's what we want to understand. When it comes to being prepared and standing firm in the last days God's Word tells us and warns us that there is one who is coming. Who will surpass Adolf Hitler.

Joseph Stalin? We know that Hitler killed At least six million if not more Jewish people in the most horrific ways, right? Stalin over 12 million right now in China three. They they don't know one and a half to three million Muslim Uighurs are in concentration camps in Western China.

They don't know how many they're killing. God's Word warns us and tells there is one who is coming who will surpass them all both in the extent of the power the evilness of his person he will be the most fiendish wicked powerful man to ever walk the earth and something to understand and make a note of.

Is.

When it comes to standing firm in the power of Jesus Christ and the gospel that Paul is exhorting Timothy to when it comes to Understanding and identifying and recognizing the Antichrist, right? One true all-knowing all-loving God Literally gives us the DNA profile of the behavior the character the personality of this Antichrist who will be a real person That will rise to worldwide prominence towards the latter part of the last days.

And no doubt God gives us this much information and To help believers from being deceived and being able to identify him when he shows up on the world stage.

Okay.

God made as I said earlier over 300 promises about Jesus Christ about the Messiah that were fulfilled in the man Jesus Christ over 300 astronomical odds, right. And He gave him that so that Israel would know beyond a shadow of a doubt when the Messiah came.

And they what?

Missed him.

We don't want to miss the Antichrist. So if you look at your note notes, I'm breaking every rule. Any how to preach a sermon organize a sermon book that's ever been written tells you never go with five points.

Never go more than three. There's five points in your notes, right? Am I right? Okay good. I had six this morning and I cut it. So we have a lot to cover. I'm gonna move a little bit quickly. And when you're done what you'll have is a basic ready reference, right.

When it comes to having a basic Understanding of what the Bible teaches about the Antichrist so how can we be better equipped to not be deceived and to be equipped to identify and and recognize the Antichrist when he appears on the world stage number one by Understanding that the Antichrist is known in Scripture by many names.

Believers can be better equipped to identify and recognize the Antichrist when he appears on the world stage by Understanding that he is identified in Scripture by many different names. For example in Ezekiel 38 verse 2.

He is referred to as Gog of the land of Magog the prince of Rosh Meshach and Tubal. Those tell us that most likely the Antichrist will come from somewhere in the Middle East or appear somewhere in that region of the world.

In Daniel chapter 7 verse 8 he's referred to as the little horn. Not the prominent horn, but the little horn so we might not even recognize him to begin with in Daniel 9 26. He's referred to as the prince who is to come in the the Antichrist in Revelation is referred to as the beast.

In Revelation 11 7 13 1 14 9 19 20 and other verses. Now look at how Paul refers to this man in verse 3. Let no one deceive you by any means for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and what the man of sin.

Right some translations have their lawlessness. He's also referred to as the son of perdition or destruction verse 8. He's referred to as the lawless one and look at verse 9. The coming of the lawless one is According to the working of Satan.

How are we going to know the Antichrist when he shows up? Look at this. He's gonna come with all power signs and lying Wonders. I mean don't politicians lie. Come on, you all know that. This guy's gonna be a liar too, and I'm sure Twitter's gonna find him out.

And.

Then when we out him on Twitter, they're gonna block us. Go to first John for a moment. First John first John to. Almost to the back of the Bible just past first and second Peter. First John 2. So this coming world figure has all kinds of names and titles throughout Scripture.

And I believe that that's partly to help believers to better identify and understand him. He is best known as the Antichrist as John refers to him here in first John Chapter 2 verse 18. Little children.

It is the last hour. Now watch this. This is so interesting. I just don't have the time to go down the rabbit trail last days, right. And times. What's he saying? Last hour. And that interesting. And.

This is about 1970 years ago a Little longer than that. It's the last hour. As and as you have heard That the Antichrist is coming. Even now right now when I'm writing this many Antichrist have come by which we know.

That is the last hour. Boy, I'll tell you I would love to chase that down with you. That is so much fun. I Mean that is how urgent this is. In then in those days. It was the last hour. I wonder if we're living in the last Minute, the word Antichrist there is a compound Greek word.

It's made up of the preposition ante and the noun Christos ante can mean both listen Antichrist, right? That preposition can have two meanings one could be against and one in.

The place of.

See both meanings are appropriate. Because the Antichrist will both oppose the true Christ and he will seek to usurp his place. I mean you understand. Go back to Genesis 3. What did Satan try to do? God doesn't want you to eat because then you will.

What? Be like God.

So this guy is going to usurp.

The position the deity the supremacy of Jesus Christ. So when that begins to happen, we know this is the Antichrist. Anyone who opposes the person and work of Christ? Manifests the Antichrist spirit. Look at verse 22.

Who is a liar. But he who denies that Jesus is the Christ he is the Antichrist who denies the father so right now there are Antichrist. There's millions of them. They worship Allah understand. They get the watchtower and Bible track society magazine.

And then he says in verse 18 many Antichrist have come, right? So how can we better equipped to not be deceived and be equipped to identify and recognize the Antichrist when he appears on? The world stage.

Secondly by understanding this term last hour. Okay, I'll take just a minute. Make sure we get that. So on the timeline of eternity believers today are living in what the Bible most likely Refers to as the last hour.

We have last days. We have end times and times are is a term used you won't find it in the Bible that is used by scholars to refer To that period of time at the end of human history. Closest to the second coming of Christ.

Now look at verse back to second Thessalonians and let's look at something. Just to kind of get us thinking second Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 5. So we have the last days we have the end times we have the last hour and Here comes the Antichrist and what we want to understand that even in that day.

These were not passing topics for the Apostle Paul. Because he says in verse 5 Do you not remember?
