More and more people are viewing the world in terms of fiction instead of reality. An environment of lies and appearances. The orders and statutes of God as a model, copied and turned upside down. Within this almost perfect deception, there is only one fixed landmark of truth. It is the Word of God as it is written.

A world of fiction
DGod’s adversary, the dragon, or also called the old serpent, devil and Satan (Revelation 12:9), cannot create anything, just as God created all things visible and invisible. At best, Satan succeeds in copying and forging many of God’s orders, rules and statutes and placing them into this world as fiction. All that remains is to get people to accept these fictions as truth. The adversary is also quite capable of understanding the things created by God better than humans and this particularly includes the connections within the (physical) laws of nature.
Satan wants to be like God. He even wants to rise above Him. To do this, the adversary creates opportunities that are supposed to come as close as possible to God’s abilities. Be it creation (only possible as fiction), omniscience and also the look into the future. Satan has very narrow limits here, but these limits exceed the possibilities of human imagination. In addition, the adversary is anything but a “defiant fool.”
He is, after all, the most powerful creature created. Equipped with enormous intelligence and, above all, a “musical talent”. This was practically born into him when he was still the “covering cherub” on the mountain of God. Ezekiel 28:13-14:
“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.“
The words “tabrets and pipes” have been replaced in the new Bible translations with “earrings and pearl jewelry” (Luther 2017, German) or “gold and adorned” (Good News 2018, German).
The Hebrew word “toph” stands for “tabrets” and occurs a total of 17 times in the Old Testament. The word “pipe” comes from the Hebrew “neqeb” and is unique to the Bible. It means something like “pierced, tunneled through”. Such a modification of the words has nothing to do with synonyms, but is a deliberate forgery. Apparently they want to avoid Satan being associated with music of any kind at all. The messages sent by the music industry would confirm this.
The dragon and Egypt
On the other hand, there is a very interesting connection with the term “dragon”. This occurs many times in the Old Testament, but is usually translated differently. This is what it says inEzekiel 29:3:
“Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.”
The Hebrew word “e·thnim” (“tan-nin”, “הַתַּנִּים”) stands for the word “dragon” and it can also mean sea monster.
Egypt “thou great dragon,” or “sitting still monster,” as inIsaiah 30:7 heißt:
“For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their [Rahab] strength is to sit still.“.
Here the Hebrew word “Rahab” stands for “monster”. It is noticeable that this verse is shortened in some translations and “Rahab” has been deleted. This is also the case in the King James Version
The Bible uses the term “dragon” to describe an existing bridge between Satan and ancient Egypt. This affinity of the Roman Catholic Church is striking not only with Mithraism but also with the symbolism of ancient Egypt and the associated “multi-divinity” (Catholic Mary & Isis – Info). The image of a person “sitting in peace”, possibly with the oversized head of a rattlesnake in the background, is reminiscent of the resting or meditating Buddha. Buddhism and Hinduism are full of dragon and snake symbols.
Fictional parallel world
The Bible describes “Babylon” in Revelation. It is a constellation of the dragon, the beast (from the sea) and the false prophet (Info). In this compilation one can see the upside down copy of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Here the dragon fictitiously represents the father, the animal the son (“vicarius Christi”) and the false prophet the Holy Spirit.
But this alone was not enough. The adversary also had to attack God’s statutes and commandments. One of the first targets of God’s 10 Commandments was the Sabbath and this will remain the final theme (Info). Marriage between a man and a woman, already established at creation, is also under strong attack. At the same time, the adversary’s zealous helpers are working to override further God’s laws using Catholic social teaching.
So it is no wonder that in addition to the Antichrist as the counterpart or replacement of Jesus Christ, there are many other areas that Satan takes up, turns on their head and brings into the world as a “new truth”. Jesus Christ and the prophets already warned about the activities of the adversary. Fake topics include:
False day of worship
Ezekiel 22:26:
“Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Here the plural of “Sabbath” can also refer to the ceremonial laws, which were abolished with the saving work of Jesus Christ. But THE Sabbath, i.e. the sanctification of the 7th day of the week (Saturday), still exists (Info).
False prophets
Matthew 7:15:
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.“
Wherever you look in the media in the area of religion, the number of heralds and “prophets” is like a flood. What is astonishing is that these self-proclaimed prophets have their followers even when their numerous predictions have in most cases been a complete failure.
False Christ
Matthew 24:24
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
There have been false Christs throughout the centuries. A popular representation of modern times is the so-called Maitreya. Already “appeared” a few times and a figure who seems to be very universal and is therefore suitable to form the common denominator for Christians (Messiah), Islam (Imam Mahdi), Far Eastern religions (Buddha) and also New Agers. In any case, the Pope in Rome describes himself as a “permanent representative of Christ on earth”.
False Christians
Matthew 7:21:
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
You are not a Christian just if you describe yourself as one. There is usually a lot of self-deception here. “Love, love” is today’s motto. But no one wants to know anything about justice (judgment, court) anymore (Info). To do this, the false prophets quickly changed the definition of sin (Info).
Those who believe they will be saved by their “good works” or by their sins receive a shocking answer,Matthew 7:23:
“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.“
False Holy Spirit
Revelation 16:13:
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Spreading false doctrine is a specialty of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. Within the evangelical world, the great supporters of a “pseudo” Holy Spirit include, in particular, Pentecostals and the followers of the Charismatic Movement. The Charismatics form the link to the Roman Catholic Church.
An emotional belief in which the “Holy Spirit” falls from heaven on command (“fire from heaven”). Pentecostals believe they are flooded with the “Holy Spirit” when they start babbling incomprehensibly (“Speaking in tongues” – Info) and so that they could lend a hand to every shaman who summons spirits.
False dreams and visions
Revelation 16:4:
“And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
People are deceived by “good news” that promises salvation in peace, togetherness and salvation. The messages proclaim safe entry into the kingdom of heaven if only the name “Christ” can be spelled correctly. Find yourself, discover your own “divine”, grow beyond yourself. Universal reconciliation after purification and the happy life of the “immortal soul” (Info) is secured. Such gospels are widespread and are increasingly associated with the worship of creation that must be preserved. A “message of salvation” that couldn’t be more wrong. The rude awakening only comes when it is far too late. A reversal is then no longer possible.
False miracles and signs
Revelation 13:14:
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Less common in Germany, but a “huge thing” in the USA. So-called healings are part of the show program in the mega-churches of Pentecostals and Charismatics. However, anyone who wants to try a healing experience at these “church services” must not forget their credit card. Such “miracles” can also be expected on a larger scale.
Technology has long since torn down many of the barriers to what is imaginable. The false prophet will serve the beast (Info) and perform such “signs”.
The Word of God – The Only Solid Rock
In addition to the constant bombardment of deception, humanity can expect even greater deception. Here, for better or for worse, each individual depends on a secure and absolutely solid rock. And that rock is Jesus Christ. No matter how tempting, convenient and seductive the coming news of salvation may seem in an environment of disturbing chaos, it is most likely one of those truth-twisting fictions. A copy, a forgery and can only be recognized as such if it is compared with the Word of God.
The only correct answers, reality and truth can only be found in the Bible, the Word of God. Every message, every “miracle” and every philosophy must be measured against the gospel. If such teachings deviate even one bit from God’s Word, this teaching must be rejected.
Your own gut feeling, let alone your “inner voice,” counts for absolutely nothing here. It is pitch black in the human heart (Info). Because the fundamental good is only God and without His Holy Spirit man is hopelessly abandoned.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 15:5
