The Elect Could Be Deceived

May 31

Truth has been hijacked! Jesus has been kidnapped! Does that sound foolish? I wish it were. Of course, TRUTH is established and will not be negated. Of course, JESUS is on His throne and will return at the appointed time with great power to rapture His Church and take believers to Heaven with Him.

But there is a religion, a worldview that uses the name of Jesus but that has twisted and perverted Him and His truth into an eschatological nightmare. It purports itself to look for His return, but the false Christ for whom this worldview is looking is nothing like the Jesus of the Holy Bible.

The Islamic Jesus is a literal ‘cutthroat’ of the Mahdi. The henchman of the Twelfth Imam. In Islamic eschatology, Jesus will be tasked with the slaughter of Christians and Jews who do not embrace Islam. As we see Islam on the ascendancy because of oil wealth and the political and cultural influence it exerts because of it, may we be ever mindful that we actually have nothing in common with this belief system.

Their ‘god’ Allah is NOT the Jehovah of the Bible, nor is their Jesus the Biblical Jesus. In an age when “the very elect could be deceived” Mark 13:22, may we remember the testimony of God which affirms, “He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” I John 11:25, 26. God, according to Islam, has no son!
