The question arises, how will Satan deceive people during the period just before the great tribulation, that first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year covenant that he makes with 10 nations.
This deception must be extremely efficient but in order to pull it off Satan will use scripture. Satan can’t deceive anyone if he appears in his evil nature, people would see that right away. Satan and his demons appear as ministers of light, truth is mixed with lies. I believe that Satan will reinstitute the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, this is biblical and the vast majority of false Christians believe the Jews are GODS chosen people. The Jews were under the law, the elect of the old covenant but due to their continued idolatry GOD divorced Israel and will not deal with them again until after Christ returns. The church is the election according to grace, not law. True Christians are not under the law but grace. The law rightfully condemns all under it to death because all have sinned therefore all die. The church escapes this condemnation and comes under the law of Christ, love GOD and neighbor with the love GOD places in us by HIS Spirit. Romans 5:5 Love is the fulfillment of the law not our struggle to keep the law that only kills us. The letter kills it is the spirit that gives life. Therefore if Satan brings the world under the law there is no salvation but there is a denial of everything Christ accomplished for us. The book of Revelation says there will be a temple and sacrifices which indicates the old covenant is revived. Paul also mentions a third temple . Modern day Israel will believe that the beast is their messiah and will be thrilled to have their temple, the sacrifices and their way of temple worship practiced by all. Remember Jesus gave his life to get us out of the law and bring us into a new covenant and once this happens we are no longer under the law. Do you see this tactic of the Devil ? Do you understand how it works ? This deception will be swallowed hook, line and sinker by the carnal world. The true Christians, the elect of GOD cannot be deceived, they know the truth. There is to be a small remnant of these elect saints that have protection from GOD during the entire 7 years of the antichrist rule. Revelation 3:10 This remnant is of the 144000 that will inherit the kingdom of GOD when Jesus returns. This is the little flock Jesus talked about. Luke 12:32 These elect saints are the few chosen by GOD. Matthew 22:14 These elect cannot be deceived, it’s not possible. Matthew 24:24 These elect are faithful and are protected from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 1 Corinthians 1:8,9 These elect are the Philadelphia church in the book of Revelation. Revelation 3:7-13
Satan will use scripture but mix it with lies to deceive the world, to bring them under the law by which is no salvation but rather a denial of Christ. At the midpoint of the 7 years the antichrist declares himself GOD. The Jews will reject him and bring about the tribulation on themselves and the rest of the world. Others who believe that GOD can be a man will accept the antichrist and take his mark. There are many other articles here that explain this more clearly.
Because the world has been deceived on so many things it makes it extremely difficult to to unravel all the lies of Satan to expose them and then reveal what the truth is. Revelation 12:9 is not exaggerating, the entire world, except the true church, is even now deceived before the great tribulation has begun. If the world is already deceived it will be even worse during the time of the antichrist.
