Peace in Christ.
There are MANY deceivers who are entered into the world who do not confess/acknowledge that Jesus IS COMING (present tense) in the flesh….our mortal flesh. They are not preaching the doctrine of THE Christ…but one of the antichrist. Jesus...their "another jesus"...delays His coming according to their "understanding."
2Jn 1:7
(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ IS COMING (present tense) in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2 John 1:7 uses the present tense verb "coming" (Greek: erchomenon.)
It is used to emphasize the continuous, ongoing reality of Jesus….the life of Jesus that is supposed to be manifest in our mortal flesh which gives us an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”) in the here-and-now.
This manifestation of His life in our mortal body is the revealing of the Son of man.
But the Son of man is being given up so that His life is never being made manifest in the MULTITUDE of people who are currently being deceived by the MANY false prophets who come to them preaching “another jesus.”
The Son of man (His life to be made manifest in our mortal flesh) is being given up as it is not appearing in the mortal bodies of those who are being deceived.
Mat 17:22 KJV
(22) And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
The many seducers are denying His coming in our mortal flesh in their “preaching.” They are preaching that Jesus is delaying His coming instead of IS COMING now in our mortal flesh which gives us the promise of an age-lasting life in the here-and-now.
1Jn 2:25-26 KJV
(25) And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
(26) These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
.
They come to us preaching “another jesus” ...a decoy jesus....with “another spirit”….the spirit of the antichrist…the spirit of error.
Their “jesus” is jesus “Barabbas” (meaning “son of father”)….the “son” of their church fathers…and not Jesus the Christ who is the only begotten Son of the Father in heaven.
2Co 11:3-4 KJV
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
The man-based church leaders (the chief priests and elders so-to-speak) persuade the multitudes to choose their “jesus” Barabbas.
By being persuaded by them, we destroy THE (definite article) Jesus out of our own lives. The Son of man “goes away”…sinks out of sight. The Son of man is being (NOW) given up by the hands of sinners. The life of Jesus is not being made manifest in the mortal flesh of the MANY who are being deceived by them.
Mat 27:20
(20) But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy THE Jesus.
The Holy One…the Just One…is being denied by choosing their another “jesus” .
Act 3:14-17 KJV
(14) But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
When we choose their “jesus,” we kill the Prince of Life out of our own lives. God has ALREADY raised Him from the dead so that we might have His manifest life now in our mortal flesh. We are to have His resurrected life now for He already mortally died in our place so that we do not mortally die but shall have His resurrected life now for He is risen.
(15) And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
(16) And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
This is forgivable as we do it in ignorance….as do our church rulers who have no understanding of the truth of the gospel.
(17) And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
If they (the deceivers) come to you and not bring this doctrine (that Jesus IS COMING NOW in our mortal flesh,) do not receive them into your house. Neither bid them “God speed”….that is, REJOICE…for those who are bidding them to “rejoice” are partakers of their evil deeds: participating in the giving up the Son of man so that His life is never being made manifest.
2Jn 1:9-11
(9) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
(10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed (REJOICE):
(11) For he that biddeth him God speed (REJOICE) is partaker of his evil deeds.
That is what Judas said to Jesus before taking Him. He said “Hail”…that is, REJOICE…Master. They come forth and want you to “rejoice” with them in their “churches” where His life is being prevented from ever being made manifest.
Mat 26:47-50
(47) And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
(48) Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
(49) And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail (REJOICE), master; and kissed him.
(50) And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
They REJOICE while the sheep are perishing (without His life being made manifest in the mortal flesh of those they are deceiving.) Behold, there is "joy and gladness" in this "day of slaughter"....the killing of His sheep. They are pastoring the "flock of the slaughter" and are rejoicing while they are getting their earthly needs met.
Isa 22:13-14 KJV
(13) And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
(14) And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
"Hurt not the oil and the wine"...the "joy and gladness"...while there is a great famine of hearing the true Word of God in their "churches."
1 John 4:2 uses the perfect tense (Greek perfect participle) to highlight the continuing reality of Jesus Christ in the flesh (as He comes in our mortal flesh), which is a key element in testing whether a spirit is from God.
The original Greek text in 1st John 2:18 uses the perfect tense, which describes an action completed in the past with ongoing results or relevance in the present. Christ came in the flesh …died in the flesh…and was resurrected in the flesh so that we might have His life NOW in the flesh. Jesus IS COMING now in our mortal flesh....not "shall come" as we all have heard them preach to us. They are of the "prince that SHALL COME" and not of the Prince of Life who IS COMING NOW in our mortal flesh.
1Jn 2:18-19 KJV
(18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
The deceivers are preaching another jesus in the spirit of the antichrist (there are many jesuses who are antichrists being preached and not Jesus The Christ.) The preaching originates from the spirit of error rather than the Spirit of Truth.
They went out from us but they were not of us. They follow in the footsteps of Judas.
(19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Judas was chosen by Jesus and yet was a devil….
Joh 6:70-71 KJV
(70) Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
(71) He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
….he became guide to those who are (even NOW) taking THE Jesus out of the lives of the many that they are deceiving.
Act 1:
(16) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
(17) For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
They come forth to betray (give up) the Son of man (His manifest life in our mortal flesh) with a “kiss”….with a feigned kiss of the flattering lips.
When they come forth to deceive us with their “good words and fair speeches,” they want us to choose to serve their “another jesus” that they are preaching and destroy the Jesus who is coming in our mortal flesh.
His life never appears there when we are deceived into receiving their “another jesus” Barabbas and not THE Jesus The Christ.
Luk 22:46-48 KJV
(46) And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
(47) And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
(48) But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
They come forth to take THE (definite article) Jesus by using a DECOY “jesus.” The Greek word for “subtilty” is “dolos” which means “decoy.” When we choose to serve their “jesus,” we are destroying the true Jesus out of our own lives.
Mat 26:3-4
(3) Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
(4) And consulted that they might take THE Jesus by subtilty (DECOY), and kill him.
Judas is guide to the multitude who are coming to take the life of Jesus from ever appearing in those that they are deceiving
They come forth with a feigned “kiss” of the flattering lips...instead of saluting others with a "holy kiss". They come forth with "good words and fair speeches" to deceive us.
They come with their "swords"...causing divisions among us. They come with their church handwritings of ordinances (their "staves"). They do not preach the doctrine of Christ but things that are contrary to it. We must avoid them.
Rom 16:16-18 KJV
(16) Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
(17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
(18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
