Last Days - False Teachers (LG41)


‘Last Generation’
2 Pet 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
    In the olden days, false prophets and false teachers misled the Israelites to worship idols.

Eze 44:10-13 “And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them. Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand in an oath against them,” says the Lord God, “that they shall bear their iniquity. And they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Most Holy Place; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.”
These depraved priests, who led Israel to sin, were not allowed to enter the Holy Place to minister to God. However, they can still be gatekeepers, slew and offered animal sacrifices and ministered to the people.
    Similarly, all pastors and church leaders who are misled in these last days cannot come before God nor minister to Him unless there is true repentance. Thus, they will not be able to receive direct revelation from Him. Without truth and in darkness, they will teach all types of false doctrines and heresies. Their prayers, requests, petitions and sacrifices also will not be accepted by the Lord.
    Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

Eze 44:14 “Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.”
    Because these depraved pastors, Christian leaders and televangelists are allowed to minister to man, we can see all types of lies, deceptions, heresies, worldly wisdom and showmanship on the pulpits. It won’t be long because His judgment come upon these false and covetous teachers unless they repent.

Brethren, reject all false doctrines, distorted truth and heresies. Return to His words. Trust and obey the Lord and keep His words.

Eze 44:15-16 “But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord God. “They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.
    Zadok and his sons stayed faithful to God and they ministered to God in the holy place. Similarly, all pastors, church leaders and Christians who love God by keeping His words will have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.
    John 14:26 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.”
