WHEN EVIL DISGUISES ITSELF AS GOOD

WHEN EVIL DISGUISES ITSELF AS GOOD

A Bible Study on Deception, the Beast, and Remaining Faithful to Yahweh

Key passages: 2 Corinthians 11:13–15; Revelation 13; Matthew 24:4–5, 24

The video’s central warning is that evil does not always appear frightening or openly wicked. It can present itself as helpful, respectable, religious, or necessary. People expecting deception to look like an obvious monster may overlook it when it speaks reassuring words.

Scripture supports this warning. However, we must distinguish what Scripture actually reveals from predictions about modern technology, governments, and particular events.

1. Satan can disguise himself as a messenger of light

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
—2 Corinthians 11:14, KJV

Read 2 Corinthians 11:13–15 together. Paul describes false apostles who disguise themselves as apostles of the Messiah. He then explains that Satan’s servants can appear to be servants of righteousness.

Their appearance does not reveal their true purpose. Someone may use biblical language, speak about love, promise blessings, and claim divine authority while leading people away from obedience.

This does not mean every pleasant person or helpful offer is deceptive. It means appearance alone cannot establish spiritual truth.

Related Scriptures:

• Matthew 7:15–20: False prophets come in sheep’s clothing; their fruit reveals them.
• Romans 16:17–18: Smooth speech can deceive unsuspecting hearts.
• Colossians 2:8: Believers must guard against teachings that draw them away from the Messiah.

Lesson: Examine the teaching, conduct, and fruit—not merely the speaker’s confidence, charm, or religious titles.

2. Yeshua warned that deception would use His name

“Take heed that no man deceive you.”
—Matthew 24:4, KJV

Yeshua’s warning continues in Matthew 24:5: many would come in His name and deceive many.

Deception therefore does not come only from people who openly reject Scripture. It can come from people claiming to represent Yeshua.

In Matthew 24:24, Yeshua warns of false messiahs and false prophets displaying impressive signs. Their influence would be powerful enough to threaten even the elect.

Deuteronomy 13:1–4 supplies a vital test: even an impressive sign does not justify following someone who leads people away from Yahweh.

A ministry’s popularity, wealth, apparent miracles, or emotional impact cannot replace this question:

Does its message lead people toward faithfulness to Yahweh—or away from Him?

Lesson: A claim to speak for Yahweh must be tested against His Word.

3. Revelation describes the Beast’s influence, worship, and coercion

The video points to the Beast’s worldwide influence.

Revelation 13:7–8 describes authority extending over tribes, peoples, languages, and nations, together with widespread worship. Revelation 13:3–4 describes the world marveling and following the Beast.

The danger involves more than admiration for an effective leader. It involves allegiance and worship directed against Yahweh.

The second beast also exercises deception:

“And he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
—Revelation 13:11, KJV

The lamb-like appearance and dragon-like speech present a striking contrast between outward appearance and actual character.

Revelation 13:13–17 describes signs, deception, enforced worship, and restrictions on buying and selling.

These passages establish that deception and coercion are central to the account. They do not explicitly tell us that the Beast will first promise to end poverty or make everyone’s life easier. Those details in the video are interpretations.

Lesson: Watch for demands that replace obedience to Yahweh with allegiance to human power.

4. Economic pressure can become a test of faithfulness

Revelation 13:16–17 connects the mark with the ability to buy and sell. The passage portrays economic participation being tied to allegiance within the Beast’s order.

Such pressure touches ordinary needs: food, shelter, employment, and provision for family.

This makes Yeshua’s teaching especially relevant:

“No man can serve two masters.”
—Matthew 6:24, KJV

Read Matthew 6:24–34. Yeshua acknowledges human needs while teaching His followers to seek Yahweh’s Kingdom and righteousness first.

This is not a promise that faithful people will never face deprivation. Revelation 13:10 explicitly calls for the patience and faith of the saints amid persecution.

Acts 5:29 establishes the governing principle: obedience to Yahweh takes precedence when human commands conflict with His commands.

Lesson: Material security must not become the price for surrendering faithfulness.

5. Egypt provides an analogy—but Joseph’s wisdom was not evil

The video uses Egypt as an example of a system associated with food and survival that eventually became bondage.

The biblical account requires careful distinctions.

In Genesis 41:33–36, 46–49, Joseph prepares Egypt for famine. His preparation preserves lives. Joseph later explains that Yahweh used his circumstances for that purpose (Genesis 50:20).

Genesis 47:13–26 records how famine conditions led to increasing dependence on Pharaoh and changes in ownership and service.

Later, Exodus 1:8–14 describes a new king who did not know Joseph. He oppressed the Israelites and subjected them to harsh labor.

The useful comparison is that dependence on powerful rulers can leave people vulnerable when leadership changes. Scripture does not portray Joseph’s famine preparations as a disguised satanic scheme.

Lesson: Receive legitimate help with gratitude, while remembering that human rulers cannot provide ultimate security.

6. Babylon shows the pressure to conform

The video describes Babylon as a system of culture, influence, and control. Daniel provides concrete examples.

In Daniel 1, young captives receive Babylonian education and new names. Daniel nevertheless resolves not to defile himself (Daniel 1:8).

In Daniel 3, the king commands people to worship an image. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse—even when threatened with death.

Their answer expresses faithfulness without demanding guaranteed rescue:

“But if not … we will not serve thy gods.”
—Daniel 3:18, KJV

In Daniel 6, Daniel continues praying despite a royal decree forbidding it.

These accounts show that believers can live and work within a society while refusing commands that violate their loyalty to Yahweh.

Lesson: Faithfulness requires knowing where cooperation must end and obedience to Yahweh must prevail.

7. Technology requires discernment, not unsupported accusations

The video mentions connected economies, technology, identity, communication, and centralized control.

Such systems can raise legitimate questions about power and accountability. However, Revelation does not specifically identify smartphones, digital identification, artificial intelligence, or any particular payment technology as the mark of the Beast.

We should not turn possibilities into biblical certainties.

The clearer scriptural warnings concern:

• Deception that draws people away from Yahweh.
• Worship and allegiance demanded by opposing powers.
• Persecution of faithful believers.
• Economic coercion connected with the Beast’s mark.

Proverbs 14:15 teaches that the prudent examine their steps. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 instructs believers to test everything and hold fast to what is good.

That includes testing alarming videos as carefully as reassuring promises.

Lesson: Spiritual vigilance requires evidence, sound interpretation, and obedience.

8. Remaining awake means practicing truth

Recognizing deception is not simply a matter of learning predictions. It requires a life shaped by Scripture.

Read these passages:

Scripture	Practical instruction
Acts 17:11	Examine teachings against Scripture.
1 John 4:1	Test spiritual claims.
Hebrews 5:14	Develop discernment through practice.
James 1:22	Become a doer of the Word.
Ephesians 6:10–18	Stand through truth, righteousness, faith, and prayer.
Revelation 14:12	Persevere in Yahweh’s commandments and faith in Yeshua.

2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 connects deception with refusing to love the truth. The safeguard is therefore deeper than suspicion: we must love truth enough to accept correction and obey it.

Knowing Scripture while refusing its correction leaves us vulnerable.

Questions for personal examination

1. Do I accept a teaching because Scripture supports it, or because it agrees with what I already believe?
2. Could comfort, money, fear, or social acceptance persuade me to compromise?
3. Do the teachers I follow encourage examination—or demand unquestioning loyalty?
4. Am I testing both reassuring messages and frightening warnings?
5. Am I practicing the truth I already understand?

Closing thought

Do not judge truth by how comforting a promise sounds, how frightening a warning feels, or how impressive a leader appears. Examine everything by Yahweh’s Word, and remain faithful to Yeshua.

CONVICTION

 

Question: 

Why is it when you won't compromise your beliefs and agree that it is ok to break Yahweh's law the default of people is to say, you think you are better than me?

Answer:

Often, people hear a moral judgment as a personal comparison. You may be saying, “I believe this violates Yahweh’s law, and I cannot agree with it,” while they hear, “I am righteous, and you are beneath me.”

Several things can contribute to that reaction:

• Feeling convicted or defensive. Your refusal to approve something may make someone uncomfortable about their own choices.
• Confusing acceptance with agreement. Some people feel that unless you approve their behavior, you are rejecting them personally.
• Past experiences with religious pride. They may have encountered people who used obedience to belittle others.

Responce:

“I don’t think I am better than you. I need Yahweh’s mercy and correction too. But I cannot call something right when I believe His Word says it is wrong. I can care about you and still disagree with your choice.”

*Humility does not require compromising your beliefs. Faithfulness does require examining your own attitude while holding them.

THE JEWS ARE OUR BROTHERS

 Here is a bible study showing that Jews are from the tribe of Judah. Most white Europeans, along with the United States are from the other 10 sons of Israel. For example, England and the USA are from the tribe of Joseph. And this may shock you, BUT THE JEWS ARE OUR BROTHERS!!!  Jews are from Judah one of the 10 brothers. England and the USA are from Joseph one of the 10 brothers.

Judah and Joseph: Brothers in the House of Israel

Key passages: Genesis 35:22–26; 1 Kings 12:16–24; Ezekiel 37:15–28

The central point is powerful: Judah and Joseph were brothers. Yahweh’s promise is to bring their divided houses together. That gives us a scriptural reason to speak of Jewish people with respect and kinship. 

1. Israel was a family before it was a nation

Yahweh gave Jacob the name Israel (Genesis 32:28). Jacob had twelve sons, including Judah and Joseph (Genesis 35:22–26). Judah was therefore one of twelve brothers, rather than one of ten. Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, later received blessings from Jacob and became important names among Israel’s tribes (Genesis 48:5, 13–20). Bible Gateway

Read: Genesis 35:22–26; Genesis 48:5, 13–20; Genesis 49:1–28.

2. The kingdom divided, but the family relationship did not disappear

After Solomon, the kingdom split. The northern kingdom was commonly called Israel and was associated especially with Ephraim. The southern kingdom was called Judah and also included Benjamin; people from other tribes joined it at various times (1 Kings 12:20–24; 2 Chronicles 11:13–17). The “ten tribes” describes the northern kingdom in this division. 

The northern kingdom was taken into exile by Assyria (2 Kings 17:6, 18–23). 

3. Yahweh promises to reunite Judah and Joseph

Ezekiel was told to take one stick for Judah and another for Joseph, in the hand of Ephraim, together with the tribes associated with him. Yahweh said He would join them and make them one nation under one king (Ezekiel 37:15–28).

This is the heart of the study. Yahweh describes Judah and Joseph as parts of the same Israel and promises to heal their division. The passage names Judah, Joseph, and Ephraim  Bible Gateway

Read: Ezekiel 37:15–28; Jeremiah 31:31–34.

4. What can we say about Jewish people today?

The name Jew is historically connected with Judah, and Scripture itself refers to the people of Judah as Jews (for example, Esther 2:5–6). But it would be too narrow to say that every Jewish person descends only from Judah: Benjamin, Levi, and people from other tribes also lived among Judah (2 Chronicles 11:13–17; Luke 2:36).

So the statement “the Jews are our brothers” can express the biblical kinship between Judah and the rest of Israel. Paul, himself an Israelite from Benjamin, spoke of his fellow Israelites as his “brethren” and warned Gentile believers against boasting over Israel (Romans 9:3–5; 11:1, 17–18).

5. Can Scripture identify Britain and America as Joseph?

We can tell by the blessings given to Joseph’s sons and Israel’s other sons that Britain represents Ephraim, the United States represents Manasseh, and other European peoples descend from the northern tribes. Genesis 48 records blessings on Ephraim and Manasseh. Ezekiel 37 promises a reunion. esv.org

This shows that many white Europeans are descend from the other tribes. 

The message to carry forward

Judah and Joseph are brothers. Yahweh has not forgotten either house, and His promise is their reunion. Scripture gives us no reason to despise Jewish people or claim superiority over them. The response it calls for is humility, respect, and hope in Yahweh’s promise to make His people one (Ezekiel 37:21–22; Romans 11:18).

 

The Calls She Did Not Answer (song)

[Verse 1]
She woke to stand before the throne,
The years of silence now laid bare.
She saw her father call again,
And saw herself leave it there.
Her children asked to see his face;
She told them they could not go.
She knew how much their grandpa cared.
She knew how much he’d miss them so.

[Chorus]
The calls she did not answer,
The years she could not give—
She said that she was serving Yah,
While closing out the ones who loved her.
Now every unanswered call
Comes back before the throne.
The calls she did not answer
Were choices of her own.

[Verse 2]
“They told me I should stay away.
I thought that I was doing right.”
But Yeshua asked about the words
She’d known and set aside:
“Honor your father and your mother.”
The command was plain to see.
She had obeyed another voice
And called it loyalty.

[Bridge]
The Book of Life lay open.
Her name was not inside.
“I never knew you,” Yeshua said.
She wept; her teeth clenched tight.
Before her burned the lake of fire.
She longed for one more day—
To answer when her father called,
To let her children stay.

[Final Chorus]
The calls she did not answer,
The years she could not give—
She wished she’d chosen mercy
While she still had time to live.
Now every unanswered call
Comes back before the throne.
The calls she did not answer
Were choices of her own.

[Outro]
If your father calls you today,
There is still time to answer.

The Calls She Did Not Answer

To my daughter Elise Salinas of San Antonio Texas.

She is a member of the Philadelphia Church of God of Edmond Ok.

Their "leader" Gerald Flurry has a NO CONTACT RULE that will not allow members to have contact with former members of the group. I have not seen my daughter in over 14 years. Now she has children that I have never seen.

Me with my daughter Elise Salinas of San Antonio Texas
Before the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG)
ruled that she could no longer have contact with me.

The daughter opened her eyes in the resurrection.

She stood before Christ, with the days of her life laid bare. At first she thought of all the years she had spent among people who spoke His name. She had listened to their teachers, followed their rules, and believed she was being faithful.

Then she remembered her father.

She saw his name on her phone and watched herself let it ring. She remembered the letters she had left unopened. When her children asked about their grandfather, she told them they could not visit him. Once, the youngest had asked, “Does Grandpa miss us?”

“Yes,” she had said.

She had known the answer all along.

The leaders of her church had told her that keeping her distance showed loyalty to God. She had accepted their judgment and stopped listening to her father. Even when she saw how the separation hurt him and her children, she had called it obedience.

Now she remembered the commandment she had known since childhood: Honor your father and your mother.

“I was told to stay away,” she said to Christ. “I thought I was obeying You.”

“You heard My command,” Christ answered. “You chose theirs.”

She thought of the years she could not give back. Her father had grown older without seeing his grandchildren. Her children had grown up with only fragments of his story. She had been the one who kept them apart.

“I called You my Master,” she whispered.

Christ looked at her, and she heard the words she had never imagined hearing from Him:

“I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

The Book of Life was opened. Her name was not there.

Ahead of her, the lake of fire burned. She stared at it, understanding that she would be cast into it and destroyed. She began to weep. Her teeth clenched as she tried to speak, but no defense came.

She wished she could answer one of her father’s calls. She wished she could let her children run into his arms. She wished she had questioned the voices that told her love was disobedience.

The flame was before her. The years in which she could have chosen differently were behind her.

Exodus 20:12, Mark 7:9–13, Matthew 7:21–23, Matthew 13:40–42, and Revelation 20:11–15.

[Verse 1]
A thousand years, the King shall reign,
Yeshua rules upon the earth.
He gathers those who rose with Him
To share His kingdom’s work.

[Verse 2]
The final rebel rises up,
But Yahweh brings his plans to dust.
The books are opened at the throne;
Death falls before the Just.

[Chorus]
This is the beginning
Of the age that has no end.
Yahweh comes to dwell with us;
All things are made new again.
No more graves and no more tears,
No more sorrow, no more night.
This is the beginning
Of forever in His light.

[Verse 3]
The holy city comes to earth,
The river flows beside the tree.
The curse is gone; we see His face,
And live where He will be.

[Bridge]
The last enemy is gone.
The Lamb has finished all His work.
The kingdom is the Father’s now;
His glory fills the earth.

[Final Chorus]
This is the beginning
Of the age that has no end.
Yahweh comes to dwell with us;
All things are made new again.
No more graves and no more tears,
No more sorrow, no more night.
This is the beginning
Of forever in His light.
