Beware of seduction!
.
The last days
will witness a great apostasy, a turning away from Biblical faith. We need to
know our God and His Word! We need to understand Satan's schemes, and discern
and expose them. The enemy is
subtle and he knows how to mix lies into truth -- however our protection is
truly knowing and loving Jesus, living in His Word, continuing in prayer, and
being watchful. The days are evil and the Word even says if it were possible
even the elect would be deceived! Don't be seduced; but stay close to the
cross, for there is a strong delusion coming, and many will believe what is
false!

“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve
by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ.”
- 2
Corinthians 11:3
In Ancient Greece, mythology and history
were hard to distinguish.
Tales of gods and demigods abounded.
The chief god of Mount Olympus was Zeus.
It is told that Zeus became enamored with
the princess Europa and decided to seduce and ravish her.
Zeus shape-shifted, transforming himself
into a tame white bull.
Zeus carried her away.
The Romans later recounted the tale which
became known as the "seduction of Europa", (with the Roman
"Jupiter" replacing Zeus).
It seems telling that modern Europe has
adopted this story and symbol as an identifying emblem: a "Woman riding a
Beast", known as "Europa".
The symbol is depicted on Euro coins;
sculptures of Europa adorn important European buildings, and the dual figure is
in plain sight throughout the European continent.
Europe gave birth to the Enlightenment
period, which emphasized reason and individualism.
The small continent saw the birth of the
Protestant Reformation which eventually gave rise to a new age of missionary
activity unmatched since the time of the apostles.
The two streams of Faith and Reason have
since competed in Europe, yet all the while Europa seems to have perpetuated
her pagan influence in this region, notwithstanding the centuries of
Christianity on European soil.
Can it be accidental that Europa, a
powerful pagan symbol of lust and idolatry, epitomizes European culture and
identity?
Has Europe been seduced by Greece?
And what about the church?
The author of
Ecclesiastes repines, "There is
nothing new under the sun."
The book of Exodus recounts YHVH's
deliverance of the children of Israel with a mighty hand and an outstretched
arm, yet, Israel too was somehow seduced into idol worship of a golden calf
through Egyptian religious influence which they carried out with them.
Our enemy has studied us and has been
practicing his art for thousands of years.
An "angel
of light" [2
Corinrthians 11:14],
is how he disguises himself; a deceiving wolf dressed up in wool.
The last days will witness a great
apostasy, [2
Thessalonians 2:3-4]
a turning away from Biblical faith.
We need to know our God and His Word!
We need to understand Satan's schemes [2 Corinthians 2:11], and discern and
expose them [Ephesians
5:11].
The enemy is subtle and he knows how to mix
lies into truth -- however our protection is truly knowing and loving Yeshua
(Jesus), living in His Word, continuing in prayer, and being watchful.
The days are evil and the Word even says if
it were possible even the elect would be deceived!
Don't be seduced; but stay close to the cross, for there is a strong delusion coming [2 Thessalonians 2:11], and many will believe what is false!
