The world is desperately searching for a saviour who will bring about economic security, racial harmony and world peace!

St. Paul warned concerning these last days: “For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh unto them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape”. (1 Thess. 5:3)

Twenty seven hundred years ago an Old Testament prophet announced, “I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked”. (Isaiah 57:19-21)

Jesus Christ warned, “I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him will ye receive”. (John 5:43)

He was prophesying His rejection by the Jewish nation, whom He had come to save. They would reject their long awaited Messiah King and tragically be deceived by a lying, counterfeit called Anti-Christ!

They will receive “that wicked one” to their destruction and terrible hurt! How tragic and sad! No wonder Jesus wept over Jerusalem. He exclaimed, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate”. (Matt. 23:37-38)

St. John declared: “He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name”. (John 1:11-12)

 SIN BRINGS SLAVERY & DEATH!

 St. Paul wrote: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. (Rom. 6:23)

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT? The Bible says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. (Rom. 3:23)

Again St. Paul states, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Rom. 5:12)

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS - “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him”. (Rom. 5:6-9)

Jesus declared, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost”. (Luke 19:10)

The Angel of God announced the good news to the Judean shepherds so long ago: “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord”. (Luke 2:10-11)

 A message of Great Joy - How wonderful! A Savior has been born! And this Savior is Jesus Christ, King Messiah!

 The prophet Micah had foretold His coming with pin-point accuracy many years earlier: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting”. (Micah 5:2)

Wise men - probably from Iran (Persia) - followed His star to Jerusalem where they inquired, “WHERE IS HE WHO IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST, AND ARE COME TO WORSHIP HIM”. (Matt. 2:2)

The Bible refers to Jesus, the Coming Messiah as, ‘The Star out of Jacob’:

“I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.” (Numbers 24:17)

No wonder God used a star to guide the wise men in their search for the ‘King of the Jews’!

 PEACE ON EARTH!

 The angel choir sang, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men”. (Luke 2:14)

There is only one way to receive peace in our spirits and minds - individually and collectively as a nation - and that is to receive Jesus Christ into our hearts and lives and be born again by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God!

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Being born Again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter 1:18,19,23)

HERE IS SOME Bad News & The Good News!

Isaiah pinpoints our major problem: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all”. (Is. 53:6)

It is true that we were all born in sin. We are sinners by birth as well as choice and the wages of sin is death!

Jesus warned, however, that in the last days there would be false Christs and so-called Saviours who would deceive the “very elect if possible”.

We are being invaded in these last days by thousands of weird clairvoyants, witch doctors, hypnotists, spiritualist mediums and Eastern philosophers who make up the New Age Movement.

Many of them are subtle liars who mix occultism and nature worship with the Bible, in order to deceive the spiritually ignorant and unlearned into becoming Lucifer’s (dumb-dumb) slaves!

 BILLY GRAHAM’S CO-EVANGELIST WARNS!

 In late 1983, Dr. John Wesley White wrote: "PETER POCKLINGTON was one of the top runners for the Conservative Leadership of Canada...losing out to Brian Mulroney...In a highly publicized court case...PSYCHIC RITA BURNS contended (and Pocklington did not deny it)... the would-be future Prime Minister confided to her: "Everyday I look at myself in the mirror and say: You are a god. People do your will because you are a god". (MacLeans, Oct. 10/83; The Tor. Star, Oct. 14,15)

WHY IS THIS SO ALARMING?

"First John says: “Antichrist shall come”: but before he does there would be “the spirit of Antichrist” issuing in “many antichrists” (1 John 2:18; 4:3).

Jesus projected...“take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My Name saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.. if any man shall say unto you, Lo here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets”. (Matt. 24:4, 5, 23, 24)

A number of years ago the weird John Lennon actually thought he was Jesus Christ and even wilder, 'The White Gloved One's mother Katherine stated that Michael Jackson (WACKO JACKO) might be the "incarnation" of the Messiah. And the spokesman for Rev. Moon, Matthew Morrison replied to his own question, "Is Moon the Messiah? That's what he is".

Dr. White wrote, "St. Paul prophesied that the actual Antichrist, when, as “the man of sin”, he was “revealed, the son of perdition (he’d be) worshipped.. showing himself that he is god”. (2 Thess. 2:3,4)

"So we’re seeing the POCKLINGTONS, as harbingers of the antichrist, talking to themselves: “You are god. People do your will because you are god”. It is only one of a dozen such suitings in the media over the last month.

"Elsewhere in politics Peter Newman wrote of a provincial premier as a “messiah” or at least a “prophet” (MacLeans, Oct. 17/83). David Miller writes that some 15% of our physicians are alcoholics or drug addicts because they have to be so “God-like” (Tor. Star, Oct. 2/83). Pop idol Robert Charlebois is welcomed by his fanatical fans as “like a god” (Tor. Star, Oct. 15/83). In sport, a World Series superstar is adulated by millions, as “someone to…worship” (John Lynn in the Tor. Star, Oct. 15/83).

 DOES ALL OF THIS IMPLY THAT CANADIANS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE ANTICHRIST?  YES!

 "The 'Star' polls people it reckons to be leading literary figures, and asks them if they could take five people, from any age of history, home to dinner, who would they be? Not one chose Jesus Christ (see Star, Oct. 1/83). Pontius Pilate was chosen.

"And Canada’s fifth bestseller currently is ‘A Time For Judas’ in which Morley Callaghan extols the ATTRIBUTES OF JUDAS ISCARIOT (MacLeans, Oct. 17/83).

"We’ve already noted that St. Paul describes the coming Antichrist as “the son of perdition” (The Scriptural description of Judas).

"And how does Jesus Christ come off in our official Canadian posture? Brenda Taylor and Victor Goldbloom of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews go before the House of Commons Committee on Racism to plead for the removal of Christian pageants and the singing of Christmas carols from our public schools.

 WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO US?

 We know that many are desperately searching for an answer to their problems. And we also know that only Jesus Christ has the solution and is the answer to our every need!

Satan is a liar and deceiver and is desperately trying to enslave this world's 6 billion inhabitants. We also know that he is a loser in the First Degree!

JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORLD'S ONLY SAVIOR!
