Seven Lies of Satan Being taught in Churches, Lie #4
September 19, 2008 by LizAnn
- All churches are God’s church
- Satan was once in heaven
- An anti- Christ is coming
- Jesus is coming back here
- Once you are saved, you will always be saved
- We are all sinners
- Baptism washes your sins away
Lie #4- Jesus is coming back to this earth and will establish a Kingdom here and will reign 1000 years and then Satan will be loosed again.
Once again we have scriptures in the Bible, particulary in Revelations, that talk about Jesus setting up his Kingdom and Satan being loosed for 1000 years. But again, these all have spiritual implications and these prophecies have already been fullfilled.
Jesus is coming soon, and we need to be ready. In 1 Thessalonians we are told what will happen when the Lord Jesus Christ returns; “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) then which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.“ The Lord is not coming to this earth, but we are going to meet him in the air and be with him forevermore. This scripture also does not support the idea that Satan will be loosed from his prison after a thousand years to try and take more souls because this scripture promises us that we will “ever be with the Lord.”
Let’s take a look at a couple more scriptures to help us solidify this truth. “But the day of the Lord will come as a theif in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt away with a fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for a new earth, wherein dwelleth righeousness.“ 2 Peter 3: 10-13 The earth and heavens, or sky under which we now live, is going to beburned up, not over. It will be dissolved. When you dissolve something you eliminate it. Jesus is not going to set up an earthly Kingdom. The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is already here. It came when Jesus came the fist time. In John 18:36 Jesus tells us “My Kingdom is not of this world.” This tells us two things. The Kingdom of God is already established, and it is not of this world. How can we say that the Lord Jesus Christ is going to come back to this earth and set up a Kingdom here when the Bible plainly tells us that this earth is going to be dissolved; destroyed? Somebody has interpreted the Bible in a very false way.
Jesus’ Kingdom has already come and He is already reigning in the lives of those people who have been saved from sin by his precious blood. Again in John 14: 2-3 Jesus says, “In my Fathers house there are many mansions(dwellings). If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am ye may be also.” You see Jesus has a place prepared for his subjects and he is going to take us there to our new home. It will not be here on this earth.
