📖 Day 15 – Prophecy & Power

Matthew 24:4–5, 11, 24 • 2 Thessalonians 2:8–12 • Revelation 13:11–14
🎙️ [SERIES INTRO]
Welcome to Deep Dive: KJV Bible Studies. I’m Pastor Joshua Tapp from True Words Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. In this series, we go verse by verse, no fluff, no compromise—just the King James Bible, preached and taught with boldness and truth. Let’s dive in.
📜 [SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 24:4–5]
Matthew 24:4–5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
🧠 POINT 1: THE FIRST SIGN JESUS WARNED ABOUT WASN’T WAR OR FAMINE—IT WAS DECEPTION
Before any earthquake, before any blood moon—Jesus said the first and greatest danger is spiritual deception.
Deception prepares the world for destruction.
⚠️ POINT 2: DECEPTION WILL BE SUPERNATURAL AND CONVINCING
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.
They will do miracles.
They will look “Christian.”
They will quote Bible verses.
And most of the world will fall for it.
🔥 POINT 3: GOD HIMSELF WILL SEND STRONG DELUSION
2 Thessalonians 2:11–12
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Those who reject the truth will be blinded by the lies they chose.
🐉 POINT 4: FALSE SIGNS AND WONDERS WILL SEAL THEIR FATE
Revelation 13:13–14
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles…
It’s not science fiction.
It’s coming.
The world will believe in a false savior, worship a false god, and face the wrath of the real one.
