The Bible Warns Us Against Counterfeits Of Spiritual Realities,
When Biblical Terminology Is Stolen
And Applied To People Or Things That Try To Mimic What The Bible Speaks Of :
(Jeremiah 23:30 KJV) "Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD,
that steal my words every one from his neighbour."
Some Of The Counterfeits Of Spiritual Realities That Have Been Built Are These :
1. Counterfeit "Host Of Heaven" / "Stars" - Celebrities Who Are Worshipped -
(2 Kings 23:5 KJV)
"And he put down the idolatrous priests,
whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah,
and in the places round about Jerusalem;
them also that burned incense unto Baal,
to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven."
(Daniel 8:9 KJV)
"And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great,
toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."
(Daniel 8:10 KJV)
"And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven;
and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground,
and stamped upon them."
(Daniel 8:11 KJV)
"Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host,
and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away,
and the place of his sanctuary was cast down."
(Daniel 8:12 KJV)
"And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression,
and it cast down the truth to the ground;
and it practiced, and prospered."
(Acts 7:42 KJV)
"Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts
and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?"
(Acts 7:43 KJV)
"Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them:
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
2. A Counterfeit Rapture -
(2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth."
(2 Timothy 2:16 KJV)
"But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
(2 Timothy 2:17 KJV)
"And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;"
(2 Timothy 2:18 KJV)
"Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some."
3. A Counterfeit Trinity -
A. Satan Mimics God The Father -
(Matthew 4:8 KJV)
"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"
(Matthew 4:9 KJV)
"And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."
B. Anti-Christ Politician Mimics Jesus Christ -
(Ezekiel 28:2 KJV)
"Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because thine heart is lifted up,
and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;
yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:"
(Ezekiel 28:9 KJV)
"Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God?
but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee."
(2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV)
"Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
(2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJV)
"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."
C. "The False Prophet" Mimics The Holy Spirit Of God -
(Revelation 19:20 KJV)
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him,
with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."
(Revelation 13:11 KJV)
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
(Revelation 13:12 KJV)
"And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed."
(Revelation 13:13 KJV)
"And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"
(Revelation 13:14 KJV)
"And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live."
