It is often amazing to me when I read about religious leaders debating with Yeshua, (Jesus Christ of Nazareth), testing Him by their inferior knowledge of ADONAI’S permanence. With self-deception, Synagogue leaders miscalculated the person of the Messiah, because the Lord was traveling a different path than humans’ egos. While humans seek to rise to the top, Jesus came to lay down His life for the unworthy and undeserving.
The Human Ability of Self-deception
An example is found in the Book of Hebrews, where the Bible quotes ADONAI.
Hebrews 13:5
(CWSB)
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor — forsake thee.
But, what does this mean? This statement is always broken away from its contextual flow and few people even know how the Scripture begins.
Again, our LORD is correcting HIS children’s behavior and it is at this point where the LORD is saying to them to stop your greed, love for money, and sexual immorality, and make your own “Mega Grace” unbreakable covenant between GOD and man.
So, when judgment comes against those who love not the truth, it’s the same as those who took pleasure in unrighteousness.
The Great Delusion
Editor: Val Gunter
Matthew 3:11-12
(AMP)
11 “As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). 12 His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom), but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”
The problem here is that Bible Prophecy foretells the time of Lawlessness and rebellion against divine authority. Prophecy warns that some religious groups will not endure sound doctrine and there will be a loss of love for the truth.

Hebrew 13:5 (AMP)
Be financially ethical, being content with what you have; for He has said, “I WILL NEVER [under any circumstances] DESERT YOU [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], NOR WILL I FORSAKE or LET YOU DOWN or RELAX MY HOLD ON YOU [assuredly not]!”
The Changeless Christ and Promise Keeper
Here is the Contextual Flow of Hebrews 13:4-6
Hebrews 13:4-6
(AMP)
4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I WILL NEVER [under any circumstances] DESERT YOU [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], NOR WILL I FORSAKE or LET YOU DOWN or RELAX MY HOLD ON YOU [assuredly not]!” 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,
“THE LORD IS MY HELPER [in time of need], I WILL NOT BE AFRAID.
Deuteronomy 31:6-8 is an earlier word of encouragement using the same faithful promise and in other places throughout the Bible.
Deuteronomy 31:6-8
(CWSB)
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause — them to inherit it.
8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Hebrews 13:4-9
(Complete Jewish Bible)
4 Marriage is honorable in every respect; and, in particular, sex within marriage is pure. But God will indeed punish fornicators and adulterers.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, “I will never fail you or abandon you.” 6 Therefore, we say with confidence,
“ADONAI is my helper; I will not be afraid—
what can a human being do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke God’s message to you. Reflect on the results of their way of life, and imitate their trust— 8 Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.
9 Do not be carried away by various strange teachings; for what is good is for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods. People who have made these the focus of their lives have not benefited thereby.
Lawlessness and Rebellion Against Divine Authority
Likewise, God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. And the New Mega Grace doctrine is made up of human conjecture, that will cause many to miss the goal of the Messiah, for eternal Salvation. GOD will judge the rebellion of those who did not love the truth of the Gospel. 2 Thessalonians 2:10
The Problem is that we need teachers who fear GOD, with humility and holiness as their foundation, and who are broken as a result of the love and grace shown by ADONAI, knowing that it’s all a gift of Salvation, which is a gift that’s unearned.
In the last days, the Messiah will examine the hearts of the believer, and those who love not the truth of the Word, may also be lost by the strong spiritual delusion that will only have an effect on the ones who are drifting away from their faith.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
(AMP)
7 For the mystery of lawlessness [rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness] is already at work; [but it is restrained] only until he who now restrains it is taken out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one [the Antichrist] will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by the appearance of His coming. 9 The coming of the [Antichrist, the lawless] one is through the activity of Satan, [attended] with great power [all kinds of counterfeit miracles] and [deceptive] signs and false wonders [all of them lies], 10 and by unlimited seduction to evil and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not welcome the love of the truth [of the gospel] so as to be saved [they were spiritually blind, and rejected the truth that would have saved them].
11 Because of this God will send upon them a misleading influence, [an activity of error and deception] so they will believe the lie, 12 in order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe the truth [about their sin, and the need for salvation through Christ], but instead took pleasure in unrighteousness.
In an interview on The Dr. Oz Show, Thursday, October 14, 2021, actress Stacy Dash stated that she had lived her whole life full of anger but has now given her life to Christ, and that anger and evil can only be defeated with good, love, light and humility. When asked if she thought that there was more evil than good in the world, she said, “I don’t think so, but evil is more organized.”
2 Thessalonians 1:3-12
(AMP)
3 We ought always and indeed are morally obligated [as those in debt] to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is fitting, because your faith is growing ever greater, and the [unselfish] love of each one of you toward one another is continually increasing. 4 Therefore, we speak of you with pride among the churches of God for your steadfastness [your unflinching endurance, and patience] and your firm faith in the midst of all the persecution and [crushing] distress which you endure. 5 This is a positive proof of the righteous judgment of God [a sign of His fair verdict], so that you will be considered worthy of His kingdom, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you, 7 and to give relief to you who are so distressed and to us as well when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him]. 9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day [that is, glorified through the changed lives of those who have accepted Him as Savior and have been set apart for His purpose], and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed and trusted [and confirmed in your lives]. 11 With this in view, we constantly pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of your calling [to faith] and with [His] power fulfill every desire for goodness, and complete [your] every work of faith, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you [by what you do], and you in Him, according to the [precious] grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yeshua be with you.
