False Messiah Announces Plan to "Transform Himself" in 2012


It seems like the devil is getting ready to shift his activity into a higher gear this upcoming decade. One thing to watch for: an increase in activity and visibility of his false "Christs". One such false Christ we've covered at this blog, Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, has announced plans to "transform himself" next year. What this means exactly, we don't know yet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

(See more info on Jose Miranda here and here.)

Miranda, who calls himself "the man Christ Jesus" , and proudly embraces the number 666 as his own, has issued a press release about this upcoming transformation.

The Man Christ Jesus to Transform Himself in 2010.


Published on Thursday, February 18, 2010

Miami, Florida (CEG) – Jose Luis De Jesus, The Man Christ Jesus, once again makes history and shocks the nations by announcing today the exact date of the most awaited and most spectacular event in history – The Glorious Day of The Transformation, where His physical body will be transformed, dressed in immortality and incorruptibility (1 Cor. 15:53-54), in the same manner as Jesus of Nazareth experienced.

The evidences are irrefutable and the countdown has begun.

The prophecies foretold that Jose Luis De Jesus (666), the fulfillment of the Second Coming, would be given exactly 42 months of authority to act, as stated in Rev. 13:5 where Apostle John confusedly referred to Him as ‘The Beast’. Of these 42 months, Dec. 2008 to Dec. 2009 marked the fulfillment of 12 months since His ‘image’ was given power, thereby leaving an approximate 2 1/2 years left of Judgment on Earth.

Haiti’s alarming earthquake is merely an example of what is yet to come during this judgment period. As today’s generation have made a mockery of Jose Luis De Jesus and have taken His Return all too lightly, the Earth groans. The planet will continue to witness the famine, earthquakes, and wars of Matthew 24:6-8 and Revelations 6:5-8 -- foretold tribulations that would occur as part of God's direct wrath and judgment right before His transformation.

The signs of the times are clear. Thousands worldwide are marked with the number of His name, 666. The Earth’s rotation has accelerated to a speed of 66,666 mph. All prophecies are fulfilling, even scientific, astronomical and numerological formulae are aligning - all pointing to the year 2012, where the Puerto Rican-born Jose Luis De Jesus (Latitude 66.6°) curiously turns 66.

Throughout history, this date has been proposed inaccurately 59 times, however The Man Christ Jesus has spoken. The one and only ordained to communicate the date in which this would take place (Acts 17:31).

“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4). The King of kings, Lord of lords is here and His transformation – The Great Day of the Lord - will take place in our lifetime.

Two Christians Murdered for Witnessing in Florida


Two men have been killed for sharing their Christian faith. This is something you might expect in Pakistan or Iran, but it happened here in the good ol' USA -- in Boynton Beach, Florida to be exact. If it was 2 Muslims or 2 Jews you would have heard a lot about it. But they are 2 Christians, so the media just yawns.

Sadly, as anti-Christian sentiment continues to increase in this country, I expect to see this happen more and more. Christians had better be cautious out there, since the spiritual climate in our nation, and our world, is definitely changing.

----------
Why the National Media Blackout?
Contact: Dr. Gary Cass, Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, 866-508-2232, 954-551-9770

VISTA, Calif., Feb. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Anti-Christian hostility is getting increasingly deadly as this week's tragic events demonstrate," said Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. "The increasing demonization of Christians in our culture makes some feel its open season on Christians."

According to the Boynton Beach police, simply sharing the word of God on the street is what brought two ministers to the man who killed them. Tite Sufra, 24, and Stephen Ocean, 23, were shot and killed Saturday night after meeting Jeriah Woody, 18. They witnessed to Woody for fifteen minutes when he got a phone call and told the preachers he 'had to go.' As they walked away, Woody suddenly started walking back toward them. Sufra walked up to greet him and was killed with a shot gun blast at point blank range. When Ocean ran, he was shot in the back. After he fell, Woody shot him in the head execution style. Woody was arrested Wednesday and is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

"As of today, there are no national news organizations reporting this vicious murder of two innocent Christian men. Why?" Cass said, "I'll ask this: If two Muslims, or two feminists or two homosexuals were murdered, wouldn't the media be all over it? These were two fine young black Christian men shot by another black man for their Christian faith, yet the media does not seem to care."

Cass continued: "It is an ominous sign of our times that Christians are being shot on the streets and in our churches. Last year Jim Pullion was killed while holding pro-life signs in front of his granddaughter's Owasso Michigan high school. Rev. Fred Winters was murdered while preaching in his pulpit in Maryville, Illinois. Increasingly we see Christian ministers threatened and churches terrorized and vandalized for their stand on marriage. Now when Christians gather for worship they must have armed security. Anti-Christian defamation and bigotry has helped to create this violent climate and it must stop."

About the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission - The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) is a national, not-for-profit 501(c) (3) Education Corporation whose purpose it is to champion Christian religious liberty, domestically and internationally, by standing against anti-Christian defamation, bigotry, and discrimination.

The Reluctant [False] Messiah

Well, the craziness never ends. And among a group of and unstable New Age types, they've found themselves in a bit of a conundrum. In short, they've found their [false] messiah. and they're quite happy about it... but the problem is that he steadfastly denies he's the messiah they say he is.

Readers of this blog may remember that recently, Share International, a group led by New Age prophet Benjamin Creme, announced that the messiah (they like to call him "Maitreya, The World Teacher") had finally stepped forward into the public eye, even though they declined to give his name.

See my Jan 20th post for more details on that.

So this set off a wave of speculation among followers, some of whom have been waiting literally decades for this long promised [false] Christ. Finally, much of the focus and speculation settled on 27 year old Indian born author Raj Patel, causing believers to send him congratulatory messages, and even travel great distances to see him. But...long story short, the guy seems quite bewildered by this all, leading to a bit of confusion among those who so badly wanted him to be the long awaited One.

The New York times has three stories dealing with this. (See links below).

In the end, to me this is both absurd and sad. "The One" has already come -- that being Jesus Christ -- but these people are looking for another instead.

Jesus warned that in the last days false prophets and false Christs would come, and would deceive many.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matt 24:24).


This Maitreya, whoever he turns out to be, will be just one of many who will lead many astray. Also on the scene we already have Sun Myung Moon, Jose Luis De Jesus, and many other lesser known fake messiahs who are already at work.

Somehow I get the feeling this upcoming decade will be a busy one for those who are in the Fake Messiah business.

NY Times Article: In Internet Era, An Unwilling Lord For New Age Followers

Excerpt:

Ben Shoucair, 24, a college student from Detroit, does not need more convincing. He said he saw Mr. Patel in a dream, and then was stunned to find a YouTube video and discover his vision was real. Last week, Mr. Shoucair and his father spent $990 on last-minute tickets to fly to San Francisco to be in Mr. Patel’s presence at a book promotion.
Reached by phone this week, Mr. Shoucair said meeting Mr. Patel had made him “happy.” He said the Maitreya evidence was irrefutable. “It puts it all on Raj Patel at this time in history.”
Mr. Shoucair seemed amazed when told that Mr. Patel did not believe he was the messiah and had never heard of Mr. Creme. “See how deep the spiritual world is,” Mr. Shoucair said.
Mr. Patel said of their pilgrimage: “It broke my heart. They’d flown all the way from Detroit.”
Share International’s beliefs are rooted in the Theosophical movement popular in Britain in the late-19th century; it later evolved into New Age beliefs, said Ted F. Peters of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Messiahs have been declared before, only to disappoint.
“It’s incredibly flattering, just for an instant,” Mr. Patel said of his unwanted status. “And then you realize what it means. People are looking for better times. Almost anything now will qualify as a portent of different times.”

Christian Apologists: Be Careful of Oprah's Spiritual Teachings

For over two decades now, one of the most insidiously harmful spiritual infulences in America has been the Oprah Winfrey Show. With her soothing voice and disarming smile, she has been quietly injecting her spritual poison into the minds of millions of American -- many of them professing Christians.

Thankfully, apologists Josh McDowell and Dave Starrett are sounding the alarm regarding what might be called "the gospel according to Oprah Winfrey".



From ChristianPost.com:

Vienna, VA. – She is persuasive, influential and does a lot of good, but Christians should be careful when Oprah speaks about spirituality, warned two apologists who recently co-authored a book on the subject.

To a crowd of more than 1,500 people at McLean Bible Church outside of Washington, D.C,. on Friday evening, renowned apologist Josh McDowell and up-and-coming apologist Dave Sterrett explained the danger of adopting Oprah’s spiritual teachings from a Christian perspective.

They pointed out that the talk show queen and the spiritual teachers she promotes teach pantheism – God is all and all is God – and that there are multiple paths to reach God. She also emphasizes that people should carry out their inner longings instead of restraining themselves if the act is said to be a sin by the Bible.

“Here is where you got to be careful,” emphasized McDowell. “Not only Oprah but others use Christian or religious terminologies that Christians would accept as Christian."

The Christian God is a personal creator God which all truth resides, who is totally outside of ourselves and outside of our universe,” explained the best-selling author of More Than a Carpenter. “When Oprah and others refer to God, it is an impersonal force. And I think one way that comes out is that they will say, ‘Look within you and find yourself from within. Find that God-consciousness. That is God.’”

In their book, “O” God: A Dialogue on Truth and Oprah’s Spirituality, the apologists warn that Oprah “uses the language of the Bible and Christian traditions” but mixes that with other traditions to “create a hodgepodge of personalized faith.”

They point out in their book that Oprah, during her first A New Earth Web seminar on March 3, 2008, told participants that Christ came to show people that they can discover their own “Christ-consciousness.”
