†..The Unforgivable Sin,tongues,and the appearance of anitchrist..† What is your role as a Christian as it applies to the appearance of antichrist? Will God be able to use you if He chose to. Will you be ready? Father I pray that we look only to "your" truths Father. The unforgivable sin.. or... blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as taught by our Lord Jesus in Luke 12:10 Luke 12:10 10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. So here is where Jesus teaches that is a sin so abominable that it will not be forgiven.....Astounding.! Then in Luke 12:11-12... Jesus Himself teaches what that sin is. Luke 12:11-12 11. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12. For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. "what ye ought to say" ......Now therin lies the answer...hold on to that. Our Lord also warns us in Mark 13:9 Mark 13:9 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. The above scripture contains almost the same words as in Luke 12:11... In Mark 13, our Lord is teaching as to what it will be like just before His return, and what we should be watching for..... In Luke 12:10 Jesus teaches that there is an unforgivable sin and in Luke 12:11- 12 he explains that sin......It is deeply tied in to end times, and the appearance of anti christ. "when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers...what powers?...What synagogues?....What magistrates...? Don't even think about what you are going to say...Say?Say to who? Because...V12...the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hr . what you should say....What hour? Remember the day of Pentacost,Acts 2... the 120 apostles and followers, that was probably the entire church up to the time that the Holy Spirit spoke through them , and they were understood by everyone in their own language...not an unknown tongue .!! And so it will be again at the appearance of satan, as anti christ.! Just as was prophesied by Joel, and told by Peter. Then thousands were converted by this miracle of God ....Also note that Peter reminded those present that what they were experiencing was what the prophet Joel spoke of.....and the prophet Joel was speaking of "end Times" ....as quoted by Peter.."It shall come to pass in the "last days" Saith God...I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh...and your sons and daughters shall prophesy (teach).... Now go back to Mark 13:10...and the gospel must first be published among all nations ....this happens right after V9. and the people of God have been delivered up to give a testimony against rulers and kings...for the sake of Jesus.. So what testimony is it that the people of God give,and to what powers, and for what reason? The testimony will be the words of the Holy Spirit , that is what ye ought to say!! This is where the "gospel must first go forth, among all nations"!....first before what? First before the return of our Lord.! God will use His people, as He did the 120 in Acts , to deliver a message to those powers who are against God. The powers are those powers who will be here in that day, doing the work of satan...when satan comes disguised as Jesus ... in the role of antichrist, putting on his best ever performance!In Conclusion the unforgivable sin is as taught by our Lord Jesus, "Not allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through us if we are called by God to give a testimony against them for the sake of our Lord Jesus" ......When we are delivered to councils and synagogues. What synagogues? The synagogues of satan of course! Now we can understand why it is so "unforgivable" . Consider if the 120 had refused to do as Jesus said....and did not wait for the Holy Spirit or decided to use their own words....the 120 might have been to this day the only ones who would ever be christians.....It would not have been "noised" abroad... How and when will this come to pass?In those days at the appearance of satan disguised as Jesus those of us who know that it is satan and not Jesus (in spite of the miracles and signs and wonders), will be called upon by satan and wined and dined,(so to speak)we will be delivered up..Luke 12:11) How will we be delivered up! Our own families will do it...Mark 13:12 Why would they do such a thing? Our own precious loved ones? Because we shall refuse to worship this one who calls himself the Messiah! Because we will know that he is satan in disguise...saying he is God, standing in the temple (synagogue) of God, 2 Thess.2 :4 and our families will go to this one and say something like...Oh Jesus, my brother, mother, sister, daughter or son, whatever the case might be,.."really loves you Lord", but they are confused...they don't know it is really you. "...Or words to that effect.. And don't let the words" deliver you up to "death" cause concern, because "Death" is just another name for satan. Whereby these "trials" that Chris† spoke about shall be televised, and when those who are delivered up will speak the words that the Holy Spirit gives....Then at that time will the world will hear that testimony in their own" language" as in Acts 2, and when this is"noised abroad, millions will believe, and know the truth, ....so for the same purpose as on Pentacost day...so shall this happen again in 'end times" Tongues spoken of in Acts, were not unknown!...They were understood by all who were present. You say, "Televised"..why would they be televised?...They will be televised because when satan does appear as disguised Jesus it will be "HEADLINES" ..world wide...That "'JESUS HAS RETURNED"!!. Or probably more like.."The long awaited Messiah that Christians have been talking about has really returned"! Camera crews from all over the globe will be There! That is also how the "Whole World" will see the dead bodies on the streets of Jerusalem... of the "two witnesses" of God..Rev.11:8 Pretty awesome right.?..And it is written ...plus much more.! And don't take my word for it...study for yourself Always open for discussion ....in the light of the Gospel Love in our precious Lord Jesus...and be not deceived! Shalom....><>
