The Coming Strong Delusion

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie.
2 Thessalonians 2:11

The Coming Strong Delusion
“Have you heard the news?” Will be the query. “Christ has come!” The tidings will spread; the news will be gladly received of the advent of a wonderful Christ. The “Christ” has come, the world’s Christ, the Christ that men want, and there is no word about judgment; we may live as we like. Numbers of converts flock to the standard. They need not much persuasion; and, sinner, you, who might have been converted to the Christ of God, will be taken with the wiles and lies of a false Christ, the devil’s Christ. If men will not believe the truth, they will have to believe a lie, “That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Th. 2:12). This is God’s verdict, already gone out, against the hell-lured convert of Antichrist.

The coming of the Lord is the next thing for us who are saved; and then, if we are taken up, if the saints of God are called up, there is nothing but this dark terrible delusion left for Christendom’s Christless masses of unconverted professors of a Savior they never have known, and then never can know!

Do you suppose that if you have not believed God in the day of the Holy Spirit, if you have not believed the Gospel now, in the day when God is telling of His love, when the Holy Spirit is here working and pointing you to Jesus, if you do not receive the Gospel, and believe it now, when everybody is desirous for your blessing, do you suppose that, when every possible influence and power under heaven, and out of hell, and on the earth, is against you, do you suppose that you will believe the truth then? Listen. “That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Oh, may God save you from this terrible, strong delusion. Far better to have the truth now. Christ is the truth!
