"Let No Man Deceive You" ~Jesus

By Don Nordstrom

One day, Jesus sat outside the Jewish temple and stunned His disciples with His words. Imagine Jesus is sitting with you now outside the Vatican or your favorite place of worship building. You remark how beautiful it is and where you learned all about religion. Jesus then says, "I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
If we were His disciples, then we must think by what we've heard from the religious leader's that He will rebuild the temple and set up His kingdom on our planet. So we ask Him three questions:

1. When?
2. Will there be a sign?
3. When will be the end of the age?

Jesus then tells us, in other words, "You've been deceived, let me explain the truth to you. It isn't a pretty picture of what you will experience, but I have better news!"

In Matthew 24, Jesus tells His disciple's everything they hold true and near is about to end. The crucifixion of Jesus is two days away, and they will lose hope. They will doubt that He is who He says He is until many days later. Then they will receive a baptism of fire and know everything Jesus told them is true. The Spirit-baptized disciple's try to tell everyone their temple religion has deceived them, who Jesus really is and how they can receive His kingdom. That is what this book will try to do also, from Matthew 24.
We will find out who the players are that Jesus identified as, the false prophets, the abomination of desolation, how the gospel is preached to the world, when "heaven and earth" ends, who are the taken and the left, the meaning of the fig tree, the women with the lamps, what the talents are, and the sheep and the goats.
Jesus is about to stun all of us a final time.

Introduction

We should refer to this eBook with another book titled,  The Revelation Happened. If you have met the risen Jesus and He has baptized you in His Spirit, then there is no need to read this book or The Revelation Happened. You know you have already received the Kingdom of God and are ruling in His kingdom. 

However, if you do not understand the previous paragraph or wish to learn more, then it is imperative you read these books. All of us are suddenly about to experience a new existence—some for the good, some not. 

The primary purpose is showing how Satan's historical plan is to destroy us through deceptions. Whether you believe in Satan is not necessary, as long as you see there is evil or want to learn about the persuasive deceptions or belief systems he uses from his kingdom in our world. 

In the Bible, book of Matthew, chapter 24, Jesus sat down privately with His disciples. They had just walked out of the Jewish temple, and one of them remarked how beautiful it was. Jesus then replied that its destruction was soon to come. This blew their minds, as Jewish lives revolved around the temple and the sacrificial worship. 

The disciples figured if He is the Son of God, He is about to take over the world. So they ask Him three questions. The first thing Jesus says is, Do not let any man deceive you. He knows this is going to be the disciple's and our biggest battle.

The End-Times Doctrine

Most people who study Bible prophecy believe Jesus will soon return to our earth. The circumstances in how this happens vary as widely as the published end-time books and sermons preached today.

But these circumstances concerning His return are critical because, despite all the arguments presented on this subject, there can only be one answer from the Bible.

The end-time writers and teachers claim some, all, or variations of the following future events:

•  A powerful antichrist and false prophet will rise from the revived Roman Empire to rule the world.

This antichrist is a person, religion or organization.  He will create a seven-year peace treaty with Israel or Jerusalem.

•  After three-and-one-half years, the antichrist will show his true colors as Satan and start World War III, primarily against the Jews and Christians. This will be Armageddon.

•  At some point there will be a great tribulation, and a rapture will occur where Jesus will rescue all worthy Christians from earth, either during the pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation at the end.

•  Once all of this occurs, Jesus will physically set up a thousand-year reign on our earth.

The problem is, the Bible doesn't say any of these events will happen in our time. I am ashamed to admit that I had taught from this camp of confusion, without knowing from scripture where it said all or even part of this doctrine. I had not done my homework. 

This is how false doctrines get started, when someone comes up with an idea, and then attempts to find a scripture that backs up their assumption to create a doctrine, instead of allowing the Bible to lead them to the
