Satan's Master Plan | Jentezen Franklin

the following program is sponsored by friends and partners of jensen franklin media ministries have faith in me i will take care of you i will provide for you i will protect you i will defend you i will shelter you in my arms do not be [Music] dismayed i want to take a few moments and go to the book of 2 thessalonians chapter 1 and just verse 7. and listen to what it says we'll back up to verse six since it's a righteous thing with god to repay with tribulation those who trouble you that's kind of a neat verse if people are troubling you and the and they're doing it in an unjust evil way god said if they trouble you listen to this it is a righteous thing with god to repay with tribulation those who trouble you you better not mess with god's people and notice what he says and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the lord jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels inflaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not god and those who do not obey the gospel of our lord jesus christ these shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the lord and from the glory of his power i want to keep reading for just a moment then i'm going to make sense and i'll tell you where we're going in in in second thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 1. now brethren concerning the coming of our lord jesus christ and our gathering together to him that's talking about the rapture the catching up of the saints we ask you not to soon be shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit don't be troubled either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us as though the day of christ has already come he's saying some are going to try to deceive you and tell you you've missed it the lord has already come he's taught he's writing to these people there were false prophets and he said don't let stuff going on trouble you verse 3 let no one deceive you by any means for that day will not come unless a falling away comes first and that man of res of sin be revealed the son of perdition that is a reference to the antichrist who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called god that is worship so he sits as god in the temple showing himself to be god for the mystery of iniquity and many translations and translate correctly that word iniquity the mystery of lawlessness is already at work only he who now restrains will do until he is taken out of the way and that lawless one will be revealed whom the lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming and i know you're wondering what in the world are you reading all those verses for because i want to teach out of them today god has stirred my heart and i want to talk to you today about satan's master plan in the end times satan's master plan and the first thing i want to say to you as we see the signs of the times as we see the the the world in turmoil like it's never been before there are three tremendous truths concerning the end times that are contained in the verses that i just read the stage is set for the drama of the ages we are seeing prophecy be so fulfilled in such a rapid pace it's almost like the end times are in the new york times every day when we pick up the news and read it or watch it on television but the first thing that paul says we are to do when we start seeing all of these things begin to happen when we start seeing the signs of an antichrist and and i'll explain all of that coming on the scene the first thing he said in that verse of of verse 7 was make sure you who are troubled rest with us he said number one don't be disturbed i want you to have peace in the middle of all the unrest peace in the middle of all the uncertainty economically socially uh and all of the upheaval we're seeing politically all of that he said to my people i want you listen to those powerful words he said you who are troubled rest with us the king james says you who are troubled come on into the camp of the church and into the body of christ and rest with us do not be troubled one translation said do not be disturbed another one said do not be dismayed when you begin to see this god's people are not to be upset and anxious and worried and fearful keep hope alive we have a sovereign god who is in control and he knows what he's doing he has a plan for his children and for his church and listen and i want to put that verse up over and over you who are troubled rest with us i understand your paranoia i understand your worry i understand you're you're you're needing something to help you escape if you don't know jesus i would be highly alarmed i would be highly troubled seeing what we see now going on but you who are troubled come rest with us rest in the promises of god rest in what jesus did at the cross rest in the fact that he said i'm coming back in the middle of all of it i'm going to let my plan for my children be released like never before and so he says you are not to allow headline hysteria to take over your mind take over your heart and cause you to be fearful and tormented and worried and afraid and i'm saying to you today that the hope of the world is not in politics the hope of this world is not in the economy the the hope of the world is not in science or medicine the hope of the world is in jesus christ and his soon returned for the lord jesus shall appear he said those of you who are troubled come rest with us and then the next part of that verse says for the lord jesus shall appear you know jesus the one who was crucified the one who was spit upon the one who was ridiculed the one who was nailed to that hellish tree that same jesus said i am going to appear i'm going to appear suddenly and secretly and sweetly to my people and i am going to catch them away when the lord jesus shall be revealed from heaven the text said which means when when the lord jesus shall be that means that's timing and so i want you to see that he's coming on time he's not going to be one second late he's not going to be one second early as a matter of fact the prophet malachi in the old testament said to you who fear his name shall the son of righteousness listen to this word arise with healing in his wings arise is like a reference to the sun and the sun set or the sun rise comes every morning at a set time two things about the sun rise number one you can't hurry it up and number two it can't be stopped and the same is true about the coming of the lord jesus christ he said i'm going to arise with healing in my wings and you can't hurry it up but nothing can stop it nothing can stop jesus from coming again he's coming right on time and i want you to understand the first thing that he says is do not be dismayed by all that is going on have faith in me i will take care of you i will provide for you i will protect you i will defend you i will shelter you in my arms do not be dismayed and then secondly he says and do not be deceived look at that verse in 2 thessalonians chapter 2 where he says and make sure listen to this verse he said and let no one deceive you by any means for the day of the lord he's talking about the day when jesus comes will not come listen unless the falling away come first and the man of sin is revealed the son of perdition now this is very very important he said don't be deceived because the devil is a deceiver one of the things that satan will do in the end times is come as the father of lies he will use deception but there's a real revelation it said christ will not come until first the antichrist and is starting to be revealed well he's talking about when he says uh and notice the specific wording the man of sin that shows you how far the human race has come we started out with the sin of man in the garden of eden and by the time it's the last days it'll be the man of sin there will be a man of sin what is that he's called the antichrist one of the biggest names of the antichrist i thought this so amazing is the lawless one the lawless one and what we're seeing is the beginning of social unrest and lawlessness in the streets of our cities and entire neighborhoods being taken over with lawlessness and and and it just seems like people have lost their minds and law and order is now just out of control in so many areas it is one of the signs the lawless one is about to be revealed the man of sin as the scripture calls him it goes on to describe this man in the book of revelation and it says he is the epitome of evil he is a man of lawlessness he is a champion of wickedness revelation 13 calls him the beast meaning he will have the nature of a beast he will be anti-christ he will be anti-church and isn't it amazing that he said that jesus would not come until there first be a great falling away well a falling away has to do with the church and people going to church and being a part of church and could it be that this this shutting down of the churches is part of the antichrist spirit trying his best to cause many to fall away families and generations to fall away from the habit of coming to church and worshiping god and there is a great falling away that has to happen before jesus comes and before the antichrist is revealed he said that he's anti-christ he's anti-church he's anti-israel and he's anti-bible and all that i'm saying to you is simply this satan has always in isaiah 14 he said i'll i'll exalt myself before the throne of god and i'll set myself up and i'll cause people to worship me and when the antichrist comes he will come and he will not only take over the world but he will cause worship to leave the church leave god now the church is going to be taken out and i'll explain that in a moment but notice what it says in verse 3 it says the antichrist will be revealed the word revealed means exposed shown for who he is means that when the coming of jesus is near it can't happen the coming of jesus can't be near unless the beast is here which tells me i believe with all of my heart i that the coming of the lord is near therefore i believe that the antichrist the beast is alive and well on this earth the unveiling of the beast is what we're beginning to see in our world as we are watching things that we never dreamed would take place in our lifetime now listen to what verse 6 and verse 7 says they are so important that he may be revealed in his own time for the mystery of iniquity is already at work the mystery of lawlessness he said will start to show itself just before the beast will be revealed but before the beast is revealed jesus will come again the bible declares that that spirit is being held back now this is the good news and i want you to get excited about this because the bible said in verse 7 now he who restrains and the word restrains and the bible declares that that spirit is being held back now he the king james says he that letteth the word let means to restrain so who is the restrainer who's holding back the hordes of hell from taking over who's holding back the antichrist from being revealed who's holding it back he tells you who there is someone who has satan on a leash satan cannot do everything he wants to do someone is restraining satan's superman the antichrist and do you know who it is do you know who it is it's the precious holy spirit he cannot have his way as long as the holy spirit is on this earth and let me make this point big the holy spirit lives in us he doesn't live in buildings he said your body is my temple this is why when the rapture takes place and christians are taken out we take all the holy spirit that's here he goes with us then the bible said as long as he's here which means as long as we're here we are the restraining force the holy spirit has a twofold ministry right now through you and that's why satan hates you he hates christian families he hates christian churches he hates christian preachers he hates anybody because we are the restrainers we are the one that holds back the hordes of hell from taking over this world if you haven't seen anything you need to see that we could lose our freedom like that we could be thrown into concentration camp we could see the economy crash all of that is being restrained by one thing the holy spirit the holy spirit has a two-fold ministry number one to help the saints he's called the comforter and he's here to empower and help us but to hinder satan hallelujah and he's doing both at the same time he's helping the saints and he's hindering satan and no wonder the devil hates church no wonder we got governors who are saying i won't even let them get together and make in law that you can't sing you can't pray you can't chant well we don't care anymore we've just had about all that we can have and we are going to sing and we're going to shout and we're going to restrain the forces of evil and give our children and our children's children a little bit more time to win the world and then jesus is coming again the holy spirit in us will be taken out of the church the believers that are full of the holy spirit will be taken out and then the roadblock on satan's super highway will be removed and when that happens a flood of wickedness will come it's called the great tribulation and then the antichrist will come but praise god for that restrainer and satan's master plan is tied to a master man and he's the antichrist he will turn this world into a concentration camp revelation 13 says every inmate will be numbered and that number is 666 and it says in that same verse that without that number no man will be able to buy or sell no sign no sale no mark no merchandise and how is all this organized through computers the more machines act like men computers are taking over and the more machines act like men the more men will act like machines they'll fall right in order they'll fall right when the church is gone when the restrainer is gone when the people of god are gone then will come the antichrist the revealing of the beast he will immediately for seven years begin his reign and it'll be three and a half years of a globe of charmer he'll be handsome he'll be powerful he'll bring economic prosperity not just to america but all over the world it'll look beautiful but there will also come to any and there will be people who are saved during the tribulation and there will come days of torture and terror for anyone left behind who believes in jesus christ and refuses to take the mark of the beast but here's what he said to you and me and i'm almost closed he said number one when you see all this starting to happen don't be disturbed you who are troubled come rest with us hallelujah i'm saved i'm on my way to heaven i'm just making sure i'm getting my family on board i'm making sure that i'm that i'm ready i'm making sure that my eyes are focused on the prize you who are troubled come rest with us you who are disturbed don't be disturbed and then secondly he said don't be deceived the antichrist will come with lies and many christians are turning away from holiness and living the truth and and loving and it's being the gospel's being mixed with this and that and this and that and it's not a pure gospel don't be the same the bible said that even the very elect will get will get deceived by stuff that'll get them into other things that pull them away from the pure gospel of jesus christ [Music] but then it ends with a powerful thought don't be disturbed don't be deceived don't be disappointed you will not be disappointed because verse 8 says this and then the lawless one will be revealed whom god will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming it's then that 666 will be taken over by 777 there's coming a day when 666 all of evil all of hell all that satan has got is going to come face to face with 777 and when 666 meets 777 777 is going to consume him with his breath we won't be disappointed when our savior comes we won't be disappointed when he splits the eastern skies we won't be disappointed when we come riding back with him and set up his kingdom and rule and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess jesus is lord don't be deceived just cause everybody else is turning away and falling away and going back to wickedness don't be deceived stay true to god because if you do you will not be disappointed he's coming just like he said he would pray this prayer with me everybody lord jesus i give you my life i give you my family i give you my sin i believe the word is true i believe just like the prophecies of your first coming were fulfilled i certainly believe you lived and you died and rose again for me and i believe that the same book is telling me the truth that i've heard him preach today i receive you jesus as my savior and get me and my family ready for the soon return of jesus christ so what are we to do what are we to do pastor pray for your loved ones when souls start sharing messages like this begin to fast and pray with me in these end times that god would cause great light to come on the church and through the church comfort one another keep faith
