Satan's Illusions

Scripture:
Revelation 13:1-4
(ESV)

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

Devotional:

This is Satan’s domain.  For now, he has control over the earth.  When the end comes the antichrist will rise.  People will be fooled and will follow him.  Today Satan has done a marvelous job in fooling people.  We have the illusion that God doesn’t exist, or that there are many ways into heaven.  The antichrist will come and for whatever reason people will refuse to see the truth.  We like to bury our heads in the sand and pretend everything is good. 

Here is a wake up call for us all.  The truth is God is real.  Heaven and hell are real.  When this life is over we will go to one or the other.  Oh, and Jesus is the only way to heaven.  How many people do you know who are falling for Satan’s lies?  How many people are lulled into the belief that God is not real or that good works is enough.  Satan’s reign here on earth is limited.  The antichrist’s power is insignificant compared to Christ’s.  Jesus already won.  Satan just doesn’t want you to know it. 


Each of us needs to do our own part to show the world the truth.  God is real, and so is life after death.  We have a choice to make.  We have to make that choice while we still live.  If we wait until after death it will be too late.  I hope and pray you choose wisely.  Finally, we all need to work together to show others the truth so that they may choose wisely as well.
