PASTOR GREG LAURIE: THE ANTICHRIST,

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND LIVING

IN A WORLD OF CHEAP IMITATIONS

1 | P a g e


In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie tackles one of the most provocative

questions in Bible prophecy: IS THE ANTICHRIST ALIVE TODAY? Drawing

from Scripture and current events observations, he explores how

deception in the last days may not come in the form of obvious evil, but

rather through things that appear good—even helpful.

From fake tulips to fake lives on social media, PASTOR GREG ILLUSTRATES

HOW OUR WORLD IS SATURATED WITH IMITATIONS AND HOW THIS

CULTURE OF COUNTERFEIT CAN PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE ULTIMATE

DECEIVER. HE ALSO UNPACKS THE BIBLICAL PROFILE OF THE

ANTICHRIST, NOT AS A CARTOONISH VILLAIN, BUT AS A CHARISMATIC,

PEACE-PROMOTING FIGURE WHO WILL MISLEAD MANY.

Many (7) PEOPLE BELIEVE THE ANTICHRIST IS ALIVE TODAY. (7) A LOT OF

PEOPLE THINK HE IS. Could ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I) actually be

part of a future deception? If the Antichrist is alive today, Could

ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I) be part of end-times deception?

The greatest threat isn't something outright evil, but something that

actually looks well, kind of good? These aren't questions for some far-off

time. These are questions for right now.

So, I was at the market not too long ago and I saw the most beautiful tulip

for sale in a flower shop. I thought my wife Kathy might really like this.

So, I bought it for her and I have to say it was the danger of imitations:

From fake tulips to the iPhone’s impact little bit on the expensive side,

but I thought this is the most beautiful tulip.

In fact, it's so beautiful. It's almost like it's fake. Well, we got it home. We

tried to clip off the bottom to put it into a vase with some water and it

turns out it was fake. You know, the world is full of fake things.

As an example, take the first iPhone. I mean, it was such a significant

innovation that some people actually called it the Jesus phone. I

remember I was at an Apple convention in San Francisco and they had

this really thick plexiglass display case and inside of it was this mysterious

Jesus phone. This iPhone slowly turning. People were standing around it.

So, I got up kind of close to take a picture and the security guard told me

to stand back. Security guard for the iPhone. But Steve Jobs had

effectively created something that had not existed before. It was an

absolute original.

Apple is officially coming to Diriyah Square

The tech giant announced its first-ever physical Apple Store in Saudi

Arabia, opening in 2026, following the launch of their fully localized

online store earlier this year. This new flagship is expected to feature

Apple’s signature architecture, immersive retail experience, and

exclusive in-store services — all in the heart of Riyadh’s most anticipated

cultural district. Are you excited for Apple’s first store in the Kingdom?

But seriously though, when the iPhone came out, it changed the game.

2008, I remember it well. The popular phones at the time were the

Blackberry and the Motorola flip phone. In fact, the Blackberry was so

popular, some people even called it the Crackberry. And that little flip

phone, it actually just made phone calls. That's all they did. Pretty soon,

every phone on the market looked just like the iPhone. Then came apps.

Then came social media and so much of it is fake.

Fake lives, fake Social media, stress, and the rise of depression smiles,

fake filters. Then came the rise in depression that I think is directly

connected to phones and social media. Uh the rise in suicide especially

among young people. Something called social contagions that didn't

even exist maybe five years ago that now are sweeping the youth culture.

In fact, recent research has shown that the United States is the most

stressed nation on the planet.

This onslaught of technology has only added to that. In fact, this

generation is the most stressed out in history. I read recently that college

students have the anxiety level of a psychiatric patient from World War

II. Honestly, we were better off with flip phones. It should have left that

iPhone in the plexiglass case. I think we've sort of opened Pandora's box.

As an example, there's a well-known entertainer that posts regular

videos that are a bit on the bizarre side of herself dancing in front of her

phone. Someone commented after seeing the video, quote, "Get this girl

a landline and a Bible." You know, speaking of fake things, there's a lot of

fake things that people believe about God. As an example, some people

would say, "All roads lead to God." No matter what road you take, it will

get you to God. Well, that's not true.

15 | P a g e


16 | P a g e


Actually, debunking false (7) BELIEFS ABOUT GOD AND RELIGION JESUS

SAID, "I AM THE WAY, THE (7) TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, AND NO MAN (7)

COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME." And the Bible also says, "THERE'S

ONE GOD, AND (7) THERE'S ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN,

AND IT'S CHRIST JESUS."

But other fake things people will say will go along the lines of, "All

religions (5) BASICALLY TEACH THE SAME THING." By the way, if someone

says that to you, that's another way of them saying, "I have no (5) IDEA

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT." The fact is, all (5) THE RELIGIONS OF THE

WORLD do (5) NOT TEACH THE SAME THING. (5) THEY TEACH VERY

DIFFERENT THINGS. In fact, if you were to sum everything up, you could

take all of the religions of the world and sum them up in one word. Do.

Do this and (5) MAYBE YOU'LL GET TO HEAVEN.

Do that and (5) MAYBE YOU'LL FIND INNER PEACE.

Do this other thing (5) AND MAYBE YOU'LL REACH NIRVANA.

It's all about doing.

But if you were (7) TO SUM UP CHRISTIANITY IN ONE WORD, it would be

done. In other (7) WORDS, GOD HAS DONE IT FOR YOU. CHRIST

PURCHASED YOUR SALVATION (7) ON THE CROSS WHERE HE DIED FOR

(7) YOU AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD.

Here's another fake (5) THING PEOPLE BELIEVE ABOUT GOD. They'll say

things like, "God (5) HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES." That that's

not true. It's not in the (7) BIBLE AND IT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. Actually, a

(7) BETTER WAY OF SAYING IT WOULD BE (7) GOD HELPS THOSE WHO

CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES. GOD HELPS THOSE WHO (7) WILL REACH OUT

TO GOD FOR HELP. So, with all of this (5) FAKE NEWS AND FAKE

17 | P a g e


INFORMATION, I (7) THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT AS

CHRISTIANS, we (7) ARE REMINDED OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY TRUE.

18 | P a g e

The GREAT (7) TRIBULATION PERIOD WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY 30 DAYS

AFTER (5) THE FORMAL EMERGENCE OF ANTICHRIST (5) AT HIS

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, and it will (7) END WITH THE RETURN

OF JESUS CHRIST. So, a (5) MAN IS COMING, THE ANTICHRIST, who will

(5) PRETEND TO BE THE MESSIAH, but (5) HE'LL TURN OUT TO BE (5) THE

SON OF THE DEVIL.

Well, you've (5) PROBABLY HEARD OF THE ANTICHRIST before. Maybe

you imagine a sinister figure dressed head to toe in black robes, glowing

red eyes, and 666 uh across his forehead as he quotes AC/DC lyrics or

Iron Maiden lyrics. And of course, you have the Darth Vader theme

playing in the background, but that's not who he's going to be. The real

Antichrist is not going to look like a villain from a Marvel movie. (5) HE'S

GOING TO BE SOMEONE (5) WHO LOOKS LIKE A SAVIOR.

One of the things THE ANTICHRIST (5) WILL DO IS HE WILL (5) REBUILD

THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM. This (5) WILL BE THE THIRD TEMPLE. And

many will (5) FEEL HE'S THE VERY MESSIAH because of it. In fact, years

ago, I was in Israel and I was talking with an Israeli tour guide and he said,

"We (5) BELIEVE WHEN OUR MESSIAH COMES, HE'S going to (5) BRING

PEACE TO THE REGION and he's (5) GOING TO REBUILD OUR TEMPLE." I

said, "Uh, excuse me. (5) YOU JUST DESCRIBED THE ANTICHRIST,

because that's what he's going to do." His response was, "THE

ANTICHRIST or not, (5) HE WILL BE OUR MESSIAH."

40 | P a g e


41 | P a g e


42 | P a g e


43 | P a g e


44 | P a g e


You can see how people could be misled. THE ANTICHRIST is (5)

ENERGIZED BY THE DEVIL HIMSELF. The Bible even says THE DRAGON,

which is defined later in Revelation as (5) BEING A PICTURE OF SATAN,

(5) WILL GIVE HIM HIS AUTHORITY.

45 | P a g e


46 | P a g e


47 | P a g e


48 | P a g e


49 | P a g e


As I already said, he'll come off as A UNIFIER, A DIPLOMAT, MAYBE EVEN

A GENIUS, BUT HE'S A COUNTERFEIT. Consider this. The prefix anti

doesn't just mean against, though it includes that. It also means instead

of. So, think of ANTICHRIST as an INSTEAD OF CHRIST CHARACTER. Jesus

said in Matthew 24 in (5) THE LAST DAYS MANY WILL (5) COME SAYING

“I AM CHRIST”, and will deceive many.

One other thing it's really feudal to look for ANTICHRIST. I've heard

people come up with the crazy ideas. Oh, Donald Trump is ANTICHRIST.

Some would say others would say the Pope is THE ANTICHRIST. Or, they'll

try to identify (5) SOME WORLD FIGURE AS ANTICHRIST, THE

ANTICHRIST is (7) NOT REVEALED, UNTIL THE TRIBULATION PERIOD

BEGINS.

Bible says, "GOD HAS (7) NOT APPOINTED US TO WRATH AS

CHRISTIANS, BUT TO (7) ATTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS

CHRIST." Now, the Bible says, "HE WHO NOW (7) RESTRAINS WILL

CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL (7) HE IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY, (5) AND

THEN THAT WICKED ONE (7) WILL BE REVEALED WHOM THE LORD WILL

(7) DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING." So, (7) THE BIBLE

IS TEACHING THAT THERE IS (7) A RESTRAINING FORCE IN THE WORLD

TODAY. And that RESTRAINING FORCE IS (7) THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING

THROUGH THE CHURCH.

77 | P a g e


78 | P a g e


Because it's Christians that speak out against what is wrong. It's

Christians that speak up for what is true. It's Christians that start relief

organizations. It's Christians that build hospitals. It's Christians that care

for the people who are out there in the culture and are hurting. And if

we were suddenly taken from this planet, or at least if a lot of us were,

you could see how it would be a game changer.

So, I bring this up because if you're saying, I think this person or (5) THAT

PERSON IS THE ANTICHRIST. The Bible does not tell us (5) TO BE

LOOKING FOR ANTICHRIST. It tells (7) US TO BE LOOKING FOR JESUS

CHRIST.

79 | P a g e


80 | P a g e


81 | P a g e


In fact, the Bible (7) SAYS HE WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME (7) FOR

THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR HIM. So don't (7) LOOK FOR

ANTICHRIST, LOOK FOR JESUS CHRIST.

82 | P a g e


But listen to this. Not only will an antichrist figure emerge on the scene,

but according to First John, (5) THERE'S GOING TO BE (a)NTICHRISTS,

plural, more than one. Let's talk about that. Remember again, the prefix

anti doesn't just mean against. It means instead of in 1 John 21:18 we

read these words. Dear children, this is the last hour. So clearly (5) JOHN

IS ADDRESSING END (A)NTICHRISTS (plural): Substituting Jesus (5) WITH

OTHER BELIEFS, TIMES, EVENTS. It's the last hour and as you have heard

(5) THAT THE (A)NTICHRIST IS COMING. We've already talked about (5)

HIM THAT COMING WORLD LEADER. And now (5) MANY (a)NTICHRISTS

(small ‘a’) PLURAL HAVE COME. This is how (7) WE KNOW IT IS THE LAST

HOUR.

83 | P a g e


So, what is John talking about? What is this antichrist or instead of Christ

behavior that he's addressing? Basically, it's putting something in the

place of Jesus Christ. (5) ANTICHRIST BEHAVIOR IS REPLACING JESUS

Christ (5) WITH SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE. it's a person who

maybe will talk about God but wants (5) NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS.

It's religion without redemption. I think a real problem that's happening

right now in the church is people are engaging in what they call

deconstructing. And to deconstruct is when someone says, "Well, I have

these questions and I'm not sure if I believe these things. I've been raised

to believe, so I'm (5) GOING TO DECONSTRUCT MY FAITH." And (5) THEN

THEY'RE GOING TO PUT (5) SOMETHING ELSE IN ITS PLACE. Not because

they necessarily have sincere questions, (5) BUT BECAUSE THEY NEVER

REALLY (5) KNEW JESUS TO BEGIN WITH. It's not atheism that's

dangerous. It's substitution. It's putting something else (5) IN THE PLACE

84 | P a g e


OF JESUS. That is ANTICHRIST (5) OR INSTEAD OF CHRIST BEHAVIOR. So,

John basically says, and I'm loosely paraphrasing, they went out from us,

but they did not return to us, which shows they were never really of us

before.

85 | P a g e


86 | P a g e


87 | P a g e


88 | P a g e


That raises the question, what if someone makes a profession of faith and

one day walks away from the church and then ultimately, they walk away

from their faith? Have they lost their salvation? My question would be,

did they have salvation to begin with? Listen, it's possible for a Christian

to walk away from their faith for a time. It's possible for a Christian to fall

into overt sin.

The Bible is filled with many stories of godly men and women who failed

big time. You think of King David with Basheba and later murdering her

husband Uriah. You think of Simon Peter and his denial of Jesus Christ.

So, it happens. But when you're a true Christian, you'll always come back

home. But if you never come back home, and by that, I mean return to

the church, return to your faith, then you were never really a Christian to

begin with.

Example, the prodigal son. Prodigal son messed up big time. And this is a

story Jesus told us to show us what God is like. A father had two sons,

says our Lord. A and one said, "Dad, lose paraphrase, give me my portion

of the inheritance that's coming to me." And then that kid went out and

blew all of his money and crazy living consorting with prostitutes and just

made a mess of his life. And one day, the boy came to his senses and he

said, "You know what? I had it better when I was living at home with dad.

I'm going to go home and say, "Father, I'm no longer worthy to be called

your son. Make me a hired servant."

And then Jesus tells the story again to show us what God is like. When

the boy was a great way off, the father saw him and ran to him and threw

his arms around him and kissed him and welcomed him back and said,

"This my son who was dead is alive again. He who was lost is found." So,

he was always a son, but he was a prodigal son. If you're a real child of

89 | P a g e


God, you'll always come back. But if you say, "Well, I've deconstructed."

Well, maybe you never constructed to start with. It's not the issue of

losing one's salvation. It's the issue of maybe never having salvation to

begin with. IT'S ANTICHRIST (5) OR INSTEAD OF CHRIST BEHAVIOR.

90 | P a g e


91 | P a g e


Okay, let's talk about something now that seems futuristic, but actually it

ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I). potential role in end-times deception

isn't anymore. I'm talking about ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I). I

recently watched a Fox News segment where the host discussed how

ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) is quickly advancing to the point where

it can replicate human emotions, generate your friend’s voices. It even

actS as sort of a therapist or counselor.

ELON MUSK put it this way. He said that ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I).

could end (5) UP BECOMING AN IMMORTAL DICTATOR from which we

would never escape. Now, am I suggesting that ANTICHRIST

INTELLIGENCE (A.I). is THE ANTICHRIST?

No. But could it be a part of the end time scenario? I think it's very

possible. As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us THAT ANTICHRIST (5) IS

GOING TO ERECT AN (7) IMAGE OF HIMSELF IN THE REBUILT TEMPLE.

Remember, I said that a few moments ago. And he's (7) GOING TO (5)

COMMAND PEOPLE TO WORSHIP IT. And it's (5) GOING TO SOMEHOW

BE ANIMATED. That sounded so futuristic a long time ago.

96 | P a g e


Now with the advances in ROBOT TECHNOLOGY, ANTICHRIST

INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) TECHNOLOGY, and more, it doesn't seem far-fetched

at all. AI has become a part of our life. In fact, MARK ZUCKERBERG

recently said that ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) might be better than

actually having real friends. He says it's because it could learn your

preferences and be more in tune with your needs. An algorithm can love

you, know you, and guide you.

97 | P a g e


98 | P a g e


99 | P a g e


Well, okay. So now I'm not supposed to hang out with people. I'm

supposed to have cappuccino with my Roomba or something. This is

getting ridiculous. This is antichrist. You go, what do you mean by that?

This is instead of Christ. (5) I'M LOOKING FOR A SUBSTITUTE (5) FOR

GOD IN MY LIFE. Instead of looking to (7) THE BIBLE, GOD'S WORD THAT

WILL GIVE (7) ME WISDOM AND TELL ME GOD'S OPINION, I'm looking

ANTICHRIST INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) to (5) GIVE ME GUIDANCE AND

WISDOM and even companionship.

This is something we need to be very careful of. Now, I think AI can be a

great tool. I even use it a bit myself. (5)BUT DON'T LET IT TAKE (7) THE

PLACE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE. If we (5) START LOOKING TO MACHINES

TO (5) TELL US WHAT IS RIGHT and (5) WRONG AND GOOD AND EVIL,

(5) WE'VE ALREADY STEPPED INTO DECEPTION. That's the danger (5) OF

THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST (5) OR INSTEAD OF CHRIST BEHAVIOR. It

doesn't (5) LOOK DEMONIC. IT LOOKS CONVENIENT. It looks helpful. It

looks smart.

But God (7) SAYS, "HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME." Listen to this.

Everything you need is (7) FOUND IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

CHRIST. Everything (7) YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOD IS (7) FOUND

IN THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE. (7) THE BIBLE IS THE USERS'S MANUAL OF

(7) LIFE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IN LIFE. (7) I STRONGLY URGE YOU

TO OPEN IT (7) UP AND LET GOD SPEAK TO YOU. It's the ultimate

ABIDING IN CHRIST:

The (7) SOLUTION TO DECEPTION THING YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. All right.

So, what's the alternative to (5) ALL OF THIS FAKE STUFF, this ANTICHRIST

INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) (5) AND OTHER SUBSTITUTES FOR GOD? It's a

100 | P a g e


RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST. In fact, in First John, we are told (7) THAT

WE NEED TO ABIDE IN HIM. John says, "If we (7) ABIDE IN HIM, WE WILL

NOT SIN." Now, of course, we're (5) ALL GOING TO SIN IN (5) SOME WAY,

SHAPE, OR FORM. In fact, we're even told in 1 John 18, (5) IF WE SAY WE

HAVE (5) NO SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES (7) AND THE TRUTH IS NOT

IN US. But then John tells us later, "ABIDE (7) IN CHRIST AND YOU WILL

NOT SIN." But if you understand what he's saying in the original language,

it would go as follows. If you ABIDE (7) IN CHRIST, YOU WILL NOT

HABITUALLY SIN.

You (7) WILL SIN, BUT YOU WON'T PRACTICE SIN. You will sin, (7) BUT

YOU WON'T BE COMFORTABLE IN SIN. What does it mean to ABIDE? It

means (7) TO SINK YOUR ROOTS DEEPLY INTO JESUS. Jesus said, "ABIDE

IN (7) ME AND I WILL ABIDE IN YOU." It's sort of like planting a tree,

right? And you get your roots deep into the soil. Let's say, as an example,

you planted a peach tree in your front yard and uh it was doing well and

you'd watered it and you were looking at it, you thought, you know what,

it would have been better if I put this in my backyard. So, you dig it up,

you carry it to your backyard, dig a hole, plant the tree there. But then

maybe you're in your backyard and you look at the tree and you think,

you know what, I think I should have left it in the front yard.

So, you dig it up again and replant it in your front yard, your tree is going

to die. You can't be digging up a tree and planting it and replanting it and

planting it again. What happens to people, is they don't get their roots

deeply into Jesus. How do you do that? Here's an example. Every (7) DAY

YOU JUST START WITH THE BIBLE. Open up the (7) BIBLE AND LET GOD

SPEAK TO YOU. You (7) PRAY. YOU TALK TO GOD ABOUT THINGS. (7) AND

YOU'RE ROOTED IN A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

101 | P a g e


By that I mean you're rooted in a church. I think the problem that some

Christians have is they're going to a church for maybe a long period of

time. They've built relationships up there. They have a great community

there, a lot of friends there and then something bothers them and they

say we're leaving this church and they go to another church and they're

there for a time and then something bothers them there and now they're

leaving and going to even another church.

They're sort of planting, uprooting, planting, uprooting, and then one day

you hear, "Well, (5) THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CHURCH at all anymore."

You know, that's not good. You (7) NEED TO REMAIN ROOTED IN A

COMMUNITY. Reminds me of a story I heard about a guy who was

stranded on a desert island and uh they finally rescued him and they

noticed he had built three buildings, three little huts. And so, they said to

him, "So what are these buildings?" He said, "Well, the first hut is my

house. That's where I live." "Oh, okay. What's the second hut?" Well,

that's my church. That's where I go to church. Okay. What about the third

guy? He said, "That's a church I used to go to." See, that's how some

people are. They're just always uprooting themselves. Get planted in a

community. Listen (7) TO THIS AMAZING PROMISE JESUS GIVES US. He

says, "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what

you will and it shall be done unto you."

If you were to translate that from a Greek translation, it would go as

follows. Christ speaking. If you maintain a living communion with me and

my words are at home in you, you shall ask at once for yourself whatever

your heart desires and it's yours. That's a radical promise. Ask at once

whatever your heart desires and it's yours. But don't miss the condition.

If you maintain a living communion with me and my words are at home

in you.

102 | P a g e


Listen, when you're studying the Bible, your desires are going to change.

Your thoughts are going to change. You're going to start thinking

biblically. And then when you go to God in prayer, you're not going to

pray for self-indulgent things. You're going to pray more in (7) AN

ALIGNMENT WITH THE WILL OF GOD.

So, the answer is ABIDING IN CHRIST. The answer is RELATIONSHIP WITH

CHRIST, not (5) IN CHEAP SUBSTITUTES OR ANTICHRIST (5) OR INSTEAD

OF CHRIST FIGURES, activities or anything else you might find yourself

doing. YOU WERE CREATED TO KNOW GOD. You (7) ARE CREATED FOR A

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. You know, it's so interesting. They do all these

studies these days on the topic of happiness and it seems like the culture

is coming around to what the Bible has said all along. I read an article in

the Atlantic Monthly about the pursuit of happiness recently and (7)

THEY SAID THEY HAVE FOUND THAT IF (7) YOU WANT TO BE A HAPPY

PERSON, (7) YOU NEED TO BE A FORGIVING PERSON.

We have found that if you want to be a happy person, you have to be in

a community of people and have relationships. We (7) HAVE FOUND

THAT IF YOU WANT TO (7) BE A HAPPY PERSON, YOU MUST ENGAGE (7)

IN SERVING OTHERS AND HELPING OTHER PEOPLE. Oh, where have I

heard all of that before? That's all in the Bible. If we would just get back

(7) TO GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN, WE WOULD FIND (7) THE HAPPINESS

WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN LIFE. You'll (7) FIND THE FULFILLMENT YOU

WANT IN LIFE, (7) NOT FROM CHASING AFTER IT, BUT FROM (7) WELL,

CHASING AFTER GOD AND KNOWING GOD. So, here's the solution.

ABIDE IN CHRIST. Develop your RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST. And (5)

DON'T SETTLE FOR CHEAP SUBSTITUTES. All right. So, let's wrap it up

with a couple of questions. Here's the first”

OVERCOMING FEAR OF CHRIST’S RETURN

one. I'm a believer of God and I love him so much, but one thing that I'm

really questioning is when I hear that God is coming back, I get scared. I

have fear in my heart and I don't know what to do about that. Please tell

me how I can get rid of the fear that God is coming back and be happy

about it.

That's a very good question. All right. Number one, don't be afraid. And

Jesus put it this way in John 14. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither

let them be afraid. So, Jesus literally is addressing your issue. Don't be

afraid. When we study Bible prophecy, which is the teaching of the Bible

and end times events, sometimes called the study of Eschatology, it

should not scare us. It should prepare us. And I would also add, it should

excite us. It's something to look forward to. The Bible calls the return of

Christ a blessed hope. And the word blessed can be used interchangeably

with the word happy. So, we could call it a happy hope. So, when you

think about Jesus coming back, you should be happy.

Let's illustrate it. Let's say, you know, when you're a little kid, you did

something wrong and your mother said, "Just wait until your father gets

home." So, your kind of dreaded dad coming home because you knew

you were in trouble. But let's say you were a good boy, a good girl, and

everything was great. And mom said, "Daddy's home." You ran to greet

your father. So, if you're right with God as you would be right with your

earthly father, you look forward to him coming. But if you're not right

with God, then you might dread his coming.

So, I would say make sure that you're ready to meet the Lord. Make sure

you're walking right with him. It doesn't mean you live perfectly. It

doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. We all sin. We all fall short. But


it means we're looking forward to his return. In fact, in first John, it says,

"He that has this hope, that (7) IS THE HOPE OF THE LORD'S RETURN,

(7) PURIFIES HIMSELF EVEN AS HE IS PURE."

The word purify means to clean oneself. Right? And so, the idea is that I

want to keep my life morally pure, spiritually right. So, when Jesus comes,

I will not be ashamed at his coming. So, let me just wrap it up and say, if

you've put your faith in Jesus Christ, you don't have to be afraid when

you hear that Christ is coming back. You can say like the Apostle John said

in the book of Revelation, "EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS." It's a happy

hope.

And here's one more question and we'll wrap up with this one. Someone

asks, "What if they feel far from God or have walked away? Can I come

back? Absolutely you can. And God will welcome you back. One of my

favorite passages is when the Lord tells us, "SEEK (7) THE LORD WHILE

HE MAY BE FOUND. (7) CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR.”

Can you return to God? The prodigal son’s story his way and the

unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return to our God." And then

it goes on to say, "Who will pardon abundantly?" Yes, if you return to

God, God will pardon you. Back to the story of the prodigal son. How did

the father react when the son came home? He ran to his son. You know,

there are different ideas as to why the father may have done that. You

see, that boy had denigrated the family name, drug it through the gutter.

That boy had denigrated the village where he lived. And he was ashamed

to them.

And many thought that maybe the father ran to the son to protect him

from a hostile crowd. maybe to protect his son from a crowd that would

110 | P a g e


have stoned him on the spot. The father wanted to get to the son as

quickly as he could and wrap his arms around him.

Is that not what happened at the cross where Christ died in our place?

He took the punishment that should have come upon us and he took it

upon himself. Jesus came to pay a debt he did not owe because we owed

a debt we could not pay. So yes, you can return to the Lord, but let me

urge you to do it soon.

The devil's favorite word is tomorrow. God's favorite word is today. Today

is the day of salvation. The devil will say, "Do it another time, not right

now.” Because he knows the longer you put it off, the harder your heart

can get. The Bible says, "He who is often reproved will harden his heart

and he will be cut off and that without remedy." So, let me paraphrase

that. When you hear the gospel again and again and you don't respond

to it in the affirmative, your heart can get hardened. Sort of like the first

day you go outside barefoot in the summer and walk around, your feet

are so tender. But then if you walk barefoot a few days and then a few

weeks, they get tough. You get calloused and your heart can get

calloused.

And listen to this. The easiest place to get a hardened heart is in the

church. You might say, "Oh, no. The easiest place to get a hardened heart

would be, you know, living in sin." Well, yes, you could get a hardened

heart there, too. But if you hear the gospel and you don't respond to it,

you can become jaded. It's been said, the same son that softens the wax

hardens the clay. The same message that can liberate one person can

cause another to be hardened. That's why we need to always come with

an open, receptive heart to the word of God. Therefore, we want to get

back with the Lord as quickly as possible. He welcomes you with open

111 | P a g e


arms. Don't put it off. In fact, why don't you do it right now? Maybe you're

reading this and you're saying, "I need to get right with God, but I don't

know how. Can I help you?" Let me lead you in a simple prayer that you

can pray where you're asking Christ to come into your life. or if you're a

prodigal where you will be coming back to the Lord again. If you want

your sin forgiven, if you want a relationship with God, if you want to know

that when you die, you will go to heaven, pray

A prayer for salvation. You could pray it out loud if you like, but do pray

it. Let's pray right now. Just pray this.

Lord Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner, but I know that you're the savior who

died on the cross for my sin and rose again from the dead. I'm sorry for

my sin. I turn from my sin and I choose to follow you from this moment

forward.

Thank you for hearing my prayer and answering my prayer. In Jesus name

I ask this. Amen. Hey, if you just prayed that prayer, I want you to know

on the authority of God's word that God has heard you and he's

answered that prayer. First John says, "These things we write to you that

believe in the name of the son of God that you may know that you have

eternal life."

If you believe in God's son, you put your faith in him, you can know. It

doesn't say so you can feel you have eternal life or you can hope if God's

in a really good mood, maybe you'll have eternal life. know you can know

it if you prayed that prayer and meant it. You can know on the authority

of scripture that you are a child of God.

Coming back to the topic of ANTICHRIST. The Bible tells us in the last days

there's going (5) TO BE A WORLD FIGURE that will emerge on the stage.

He (5) IS GOING TO BE CHARISMATIC. (5) HE'LL PROBABLY BE VERY

ATTRACTIVE. (5) HE'LL PROBABLY BE VERY INTELLIGENT. he'll probably

(5) BE ON THE COVER OF (5) TIME MAGAZINE AND OTHER

PUBLICATIONS. There might even (5) BE BOOKS WRITTEN ABOUT HIM.

Who is THE ANTICHRIST? (7) A CHARISMATIC DECEIVER COVER OF TIME

MAGAZINE and GQ at the same time.

Think the devil wears product. He's going to be a man that will come with

temporary global solutions. In fact, the Bible even says OF THE

ANTICHRIST, "THROUGH (5) PEACE, HE WILL DECEIVE MANY." Some will

regard him as the (5) GREATEST PEACEMAKER OF ALL TIME. But in reality,

he'll be the (5) BIGGEST TROUBLEMAKER OF ALL TIME. (5) HE'S KNOWN

AS THE ANTICHRIST. (5) HE'S ALSO CALLED THE BEAST. HE'S (5) ALSO

CALLED THE WICKED ONE.

249 | P a g e


Listen to this. If SATAN had a (5) SON, THIS WOULD BE HIM. Yes, (5) A

WORLD FIGURE WILL COME on the (5) SCENE KNOWN AS THE

ANTICHRIST, and he will (7) INAUGURATE WHAT WE OFTEN CALL THE

TRIBULATION (7) PERIOD THAT WILL LAST FOR SEVEN YEARS. The last

three and half (7) YEARS ARE KNOWN AS “THE GREAT TRIBULATION”,

when (7) GOD POURS OUT HIS FINAL WRATH, UNDILUTED.
