The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 418
Satan; he corrupted the Old Testament of the Samaritans and was corrupting the word of the
Apostles while they were still alive. Paul writes: “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at
hand.” (2 Thes. 2:2.)
Apparently, we can see in this text that people were either writing false apostolic letters
or they were changing existing ones. These letters were falsely telling people that Jesus Christ
would return very soon. Paul told the people that Timothy, himself and others of his ministry did
not preach a corrupt word of God but they spoke on behalf of God himself. He wrote: “For we
are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of
God speak we in Christ.” (2 Cor. 2:17)
So the little horn was carrying on a practice that had already been established, that of
corrupting the word of God. At the same time the little horn was trying to extinguish the true
light of God, his uncorrupted, true and holy word. God’s holy uncorrupted word will be cast to
the ground again.
If the Satan is going to deceive, if were possible, even the very elect, it would stand to
reason that he will have corrupted the word of God. With a corrupted word of God, his lies will
go out to the world unrestrained and unchallenged. Those with the corrupted word of God will
search their scriptures in vain; they will find no evidence of his lies. He will have concealed his
lies in advance by changing scripture and conforming it to his diabolic plan for the world. His
changes will be subtle so as to go unnoticed by most Christians. But with his superior intellect he
will be able to use those subtle changes to deceive, if it were possible, even the very elect.
The true word of God will be labeled as archaic and difficult to understand. The
corrupted text will appear in a sea of different versions that will make it ever more difficult to
find the true word of God. The different versions of the corrupted text will be celebrated and
marketed as the word of God translated into the language of the modern man. These corrupted
versions will conceal the fact that along with updating the language, they have changed the word
of God; they have made it a lie. Paul warned us of men like this: men who profess to be wise but
are actually fools; men who have changed the truth of God into a lie; and who worship God’s
creation more than God himself:
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the
glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to
birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them
up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever. Amen. (Romans 1:22-25)
Seekers of Truth
This chapter is dedicated to the seekers of truth. I believe that when someone purchases a
Bible that they believe they are receiving the authentic, uncorrupted, true word of God. This is
why we buy a Bible; we want to hear what God has to say. That is my desire and I credit you the
