This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Satan's deceptions

You will notice that, Satan is not an originator of anything, but rather takes what is already made by God, twists it, corrupts it, then presents a final finished version, that somehow resembles the truth of God, but is simply a counterfeit designed to mislead humanity away from God.

Where the good seed is planted he comes in and sows his weeds. Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Where the gospel is preached, he comes in and introduces a doctrine of demons 1 Timothy 4:1-3 ”Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils

For although satan is stripped of his power by God, he is still highly deceptive. And although our intention is not to overestimate the devil, the biggest mistake any man could make is to underestimate him, for given the opportunity, with any man, just like Jesus warned Peter in (Luke 22:31), the devil will sift anyone like wheat. So deceptive is he that if possible could deceive even the elect.

Mathew 24: 24 For there shall arise false Christ’s and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Notice the parallel nature of satan’s gospel to the  trinity of the Godhead. In the trinity there is the Father whom satan sought to usurp His role (I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God Isaiah 14:13). In the trinity there is the Son, who is the Christ, whom satan seeks to usurp with the Antichrist(who is not just one who opposes Christ, but one who comes in the place of Christ). But notice something else, that just like the spirit of God is at work in the sons of God Romans 8:9 is the same way the spirit of the the prince of the power of the air is at work in the sons of disobedience. Ephesians 2:2.

The same way there is the spirit of truth (the Holy Spirit) in the trinity of God is the same way there is a false prophet in the trinity of evil (Revelation 20:10). Notice its not plural but singular ”false prophet”. The same false prophet who in revelation 19:20 ”exerciseth all the power of the first beast”(the antichrist).

The same way Christ has a gospel is the same way satan has a gospel and the same way the gospel of Christ has its ministers to spread the truth is the same way the gospel of satan has its false teachers and preachers to spread false teachings Matthew 24:24.

Notice how parallel and counterfeit the gospel of satan is to the gospel of God. For just like Christ came into this world as a man, so also shall the coming of the antichrist be, in the likeness of a man, for scripture says in (Revelation 13:18), that the mark of the beast, shall be the number of a man. And just as Christ came performing so many signs and wonders is the same way as scripture says in 2 Thessalonians 2:9 ”The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

Again, Notice how parallel and counterfeit the gospel of satan is to the gospel of God. The same way Christ Jesus is the exact representation of the Father as is said in Hebrews 1:3, so also shall the coming of the antichrist be, after the workings of satan (2 Thessalonians 2:9). He shall be the exact representation of the being of satan. He shall be in other words, the devil incarnate. For just as it is true of Christ when he says, if you have seen me you have seen the father, is the same way it shall be true of the antichrist, that whosoever sees him, shall have seen the spitting image of satan, for he shall be in all manner and likeness, the man of lawlessness and the man of sin 2 Thessalonians 2, meaning he shall be the personification of sin itself or sin incarnate.

And in parallel contrast to the gospel of God, we see just as the Holy spirit of God leads the saints into believing in the Son of God, the false prophet too shall be the one who leads people into worshipping the the first beast, who is the antichrist,(Revelation 13:11–18) , who is nothing more than the devils project.

Finally, we see another parallel, where scriptures says in Ephesians 1:13 that, ”When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,” just like the devil also through the second beast, the false prophet, marks all those who will worship the beast as its said in Revelation 13: 16, ”He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

But we are not ignorant of his devices 2nd Corinthians 2:11, for the same way a counterfeit note is known when placed side by side with the genuine is the same way the counterfeit works of satan are known when viewed against the threshold of the truth of God’s word.
