DAILY BIBLE LESSON
THE ENDTIME DECEPTION: A WARNING; THE SPIRITS OF "THE DEAD" ARE NOTHING BUT SATAN, AND HIS DEMONS IN DISGUISE!
Please, share this study with your family, friends co-workers, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
This is a practice that God expressly forbids: “There shall not be found among you … a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD” (Deuteronomy 18:10–12).
Why do you think God wants you to stay away from “one who calls up the dead”?
The Bible says that “the dead know nothing” (Ecclesiastes 9:5). They don’t move (Job 14:12); they don’t speak (Psalm 115:17); they don’t think (146:4, they don’t feel (Isaiah 38:18). In other words, the Bible teaches that the dead do not become ghosts or disembodied spirits. If you think that the witch of Endor called up the “spirit” of the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 28), think again.
Who, then, is being called up? There are spirits who, the Bible tells us, disguise themselves. The Bible calls these “unclean spirits” “demons” (Mark 5:2–13; Luke 4:33–36). It says, “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15). These spirits of “the dead” are nothing but Satan and his demons in disguise.
And as the passage says outright, Satan can just as easily impersonate an actual “angel of light.” Demons can disguise themselves as unfallen angels, God’s faithful “ministering spirits” (Hebrews 1:14). If so, what is to stop the devil himself from masquerading as a false christ (Matthew 24:24)?
You can always talk directly to God through prayer (Revelation 8:3, 4). You can know what the Lord desires of you by studying His Word (Psalm 19:7–10; 119:11, 105, 130). You were given the Holy Spirit by Christ Himself (John 16:7–15).
The Bible states, “In latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). The Bible states that the devil “deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). The Bible states that the devil’s final assault at the end of the world will be sending forth “spirits of demons, performing signs” (16:14), in order to “[deceive] those who dwell on the earth” (13:14). This demonic onslaught has already started.
This is not a gag or a game. Demonic communication is real and on the rise. The Bible charges us: “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
