Prelude to World War 3
Satan Sowed the Tares
Mat 13:27-28a So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’
From the very beginning, Satan twisted the words of God to cause Eve to rebel against the commands of God.
As Moses was writing the Torah under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Devil too was producing false books to distort God's words and doctrines.
God sent Ezra and His servants to canonize the 39 Old Testament books of the Hebrew Bible, which was later translated into the Greek Septuagint.
Note Protestant bibles use translations of this original Septuagint.
Unfortunately, the bible used by the Greek Orthodox Church besides the original Septuagint added extra deuterocanonical or apocrypha books, which were not Holy Spirit inspired.
Satan even twisted God's words to tempt Jesus to sin. Similarly as Jesus' Apostles and disciples were writing the Gospels and Epistles, Satan also produced hundreds of false gospels and epistles to corrupt Jesus' words and doctrines. Thank God that the council of bishops set up by Emperor Constantine managed to produce the Apostle Creed and also canonise the 27 New Testament books written in Greek.
Later, Jerome translated the Septuagint including the apocrypha into Latin, even though he did not consider the apocrypha as inspired scripture.
Erred and Flawed Texts
Jer 8:8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us’? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood."
Later, the Devil used false scribes to corrupt His words. The Torah and Prophets were often distorted by the devil to deceive the Jews and the Priesthood. All detected flawed copies were to be burned or destroyed (e.g. Dead Sea Scrolls). Satan also sent the false prophets to confuse them and even the priests were lawless.
Unfortunately, the Jews loved the lies and deceptions, which is similar to today's carnal and unlearned Christians.
Jer 5:30-31 “An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; and My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?”
Heresies in Early Church
Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
Paul knew that some of the converts would one day become savage wolves - the devil's agents. They will bring destructive doctrines into the church to destroy Christians (e.g. Mormons, Jehovah Witness, Christian Science, etc.)
Throughout church history, Satan's wolves were trying to destroy the gospel of Jesus by some of their heresies:-
1. Denying Jesus was the Word made Flesh
2. Denying the Triune Godhead or Trinity
3. Keeping (partially or wholly) the Law will deny that Jesus had already come to fulfil the Law and the Prophets
4. Taking Jesus' words as inferior to the Law
5. Rejecting Jesus words and commands
6. Rejecting the teachings of the Epistles, which were the words of our resurrected Lord.
7. Believing the doctrines of their denominations above the words of Jesus in the Gospels and the teachings in the Epistles.
Endtime Tares
Dan 11:32a "Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery;
Christian nations were the light to the world. They preached the gospel and upheld the truth in the bible.
Without God and His words since 1962, US depends solely on worldly and demonic wisdom. US began to be arrogant, carnal, dominating and evil.
Abominable homosexual pastors and bishops were approved and accepted in many blind churches. These worldly, covetous, heretic, carnal, wicked, rich and powerful Christian leaders (tares) are highly respected by the world.
