“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9
The art of illusion has been popular since man first discovered that the “hand is quicker than the eye.” From Harry Houdini to David Copperfield, the continued popularity of the Magician and his magic show, prove once again, that people love to be fooled! From the simple “rabbit out of a hat” trick to making whole buildings disappear; people love to be entertained with magic!
The Bible talks about a deception coming that has nothing to do with a stage magician and his props. A deception so big and so powerful, that even God’s people, if it were possible would be deceived. A deception that according to the word will be based on lying signs, wonders and miracles. Interesting, when you consider this quote from Glenn Beck at the first installment of the Restoring Courage Rally in Israel today.
“We are leaving the age of man-made miracles of spacecraft, and, we are entering the age of the miracles of God.”
Perhaps, I’m nitpicking here, but, we have always lived in an age of the miracles of God. The greatest, of which, was the incarnation of Jesus, second person of the Trinity, who came to die for sinners without which, we would have no hope of salvation and no hope for reconciliation with God – something, Mormons do not believe. Therefore, to state, we are entering an age of miracles, when one denies the greatest miracle of all, is not only complete and utter foolishness, but, is the spirit of anti-christ.
Folks, a wolf in sheep’s clothing always looks innocent, You never see their teeth until they have you in their jaws!
And, never let “miracles” be the test for authenticating, what is or is not from God. Miracles, like anything else, must be tested against the word of God. Yes, Jesus did miracles, but, they were never presented to us in the gospels as the sole proof for who, he said, he was.
Interestingly, today’s article from the Examiner mentions several “miracles” in Monday’s bombing attack which occurred on the same day as the Glenn Beck rally. Insinuating, as the title of the article suggests that –“Becks Proclaimed Age of Miracles May Have Already Started”.
Friends, I urge you, be very careful in these last days. Test everything through the lens of the word of God and if doesn’t meet the test, run as far away from it, as you possibly can!
“Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper who love thee” Psalm 122:6 Watching and waiting with YOU for the soon return of Jesus! Cindy
Heaven Bound 
Hi Cindy,
I agree with you we need to test the spirits.
Every spirit that does not attest to the fact the JESUS CHRIST came in the flesh and was crucified and rose from the dead is not from GOD. It is antichrist.
That is what we all need to do.
Test the spirits. Make anyone admit that JESUS came in the flesh and rose from the dead or they are false.
Blessings on you and your family Cindy ….. Steve

Cindy – if the group is not preaching “repentence” – the law that Moses gave the children of Israel before they went into the Promised Land – the “new song” the group in Revelation is singing – the miracles are NOT from God. Until we as a nation sincerely repent and move away from the idols we have placed in our lives, the miracles are NOT coming from our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Rev 14:3 they sung as it were a new song … and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. (144,000 – 1/2 of David’s army – 1/2 of the virgins – the first 5 with the oil).
Rev 15:3 And they sing the SONG OF MOSES:
Deut 31:19 Now therefore write ye this SONG for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this SONG may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
REPENTENCE must be FIRST before the miracles are coming from Jesus. If there is no conviction of sin coming from the Holy Spirit, the spirit of the Lord Jesus is not the one moving in your midst!

God’s people , the Jews, will accept antichrist, for they will be looking for counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. Cindy, Jesus said, in John 5:43
I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
They will receive, through the covenant of death, the rebuilding of the temple, which they desperately desire, to start animal sacrifice again, which they have not been able to do for 2000 years.
It will be hard for them to receive any type warning from Jesus word, since they rejected the one who was their King.
We, Christians, will not be here to be fooled, since the church will have been caught up to heaven, to miss the tribulation hour.
2Thess 2:7,8
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
