However, the apostle never says that it is the Holy Spirit keeping the Antichrist
at bay. Claiming it is the Holy Spirit is an assumption by false teachers; used to
support the Pre-tribulation rapture heresy. For centuries True Believers in Christ
have preached and proclaimed that the Roman Church is the whore of
Revelation mentioned in chapters 17 and 18. Many stood for Christ, paying the
price of their lives. But thanks to the likes of Benny Hinn, Paul Crouch, Billy
Graham, Oral Roberts and a host of others; the mystery of iniquity (compromise)
working within modern Christendom has convinced the Body of Christ to remove
the standard of truth for the sake of false unity, paving the way for the rise of the
Antichrist.
ìEven him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received
not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie.î 2 Thessalonians 2:11
Going along with this lie is that since the Lord loves us so much, He would
never let His Bride go through such a horrible time. Did the Lord love not those
who were burned at the stake during the Inquisition? Does He not love those in
other lands that suffer unto death for His Names sake? What most Christians
here in the West do not realize is that this heresy is setting believers up to
actually fall into the trap of worshipping the Antichrist.
Another one of the main scriptures you will hear quoted to support this
perversion is found in the Book of Revelation.
ìBecause thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon
all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.î
Revelation 3:10
But scripture defines scripture! To discover what the LORD is saying one need
only look to the consistency of the Bible for the meaning.
In the beginning of the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John wrote:
